Pick of the Week: Burning Bright

KATE: I was going to be a party-pooper and opt out of this week’s column, but then I read the blurb for Tiger, Tiger and I was sold. High seas adventure? Swashbuckling pirates? Smart, resourceful heroines? Yes, please!

SEAN: My pick is the 3rd in a series I’ve really come to love, The Two of Them Are Pretty Much Like This. One of the better “normal adults” yuri manga out there.

MICHELLE: I’m still so asquee about Don’t Call It Mystery that I’m tempted to pick that again, but I’ll go with volume ten of Lovesick Ellie. This is as far as I got when reading the first time, and checking out Love, That’s An Understatement recently reminded me how much I enjoy Fujimomo’s work. Looking forward to seeing how Lovesick Ellie wraps up.

ASH: Those all sound like great choices, but I’m with Kate this week—Tiger, Tiger is the release that has my attention. Hiveworks comics often match my taste, but this one looks to be particularly excellent. I’m glad to see Hiveworks teaming up with Seven Seas to bring this webcomic to even wider distribution in print.
