| No. | Book | Desc. | Store |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. |  | Ultraman, Vol.1 by Shimoguchi Eiich Nostalgia. Throw-back pick. Ultraman was a popular live-action show in the previous century, but it lacked gravitas. The manga appears to remedy that. First int he series and worth a shot. |  $7.99 |
| 2. |  | One-Punch Man: Vol. 14 by ONE More! Saitama gains more respect as the series continues, finally battling Garo, the human monster from Vol 9. Nice mix of humor and action. |  $6.99 |
| 3. |  | Dorohedoro, Vol. 1 by Q Hayashida Gritty. Five-star pick. Strong characters, unique setting, clever dialogue. First in a series whose volumes are all four stars or better. Good read. | $6.78 |
| 4. |  | Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, Vol. 1 by Hiroshi Shiibashi Fantasy. Standard fantasy set in feudal Japan, but with some humor to help it rise above the ordinary. |  $6.29 |
| 5. |  | Black Bird, Vol. 1 by Kanoko Sakurakouji Horror. Yet another demon-based manga. These seem to proliferate on Kobo. I provide it as it matches the price point and has some intrigue, but wow, Kobo. Explore more genres! | $6.29 |
| 6. |  | That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime: Vol.1 by Kodansha Comics Freaky. So the guy died and woke up a slime demon. Is it a metaphor? Or just standard manga? You decide. First of 8 in the series. Fun read. | $5.99 |
| 7. |  | BLAME! Vol. 1 by Yoshihiro Togashi Future World. Big format version of what many consider to be a classic manga. | $5.99 |
| 8, |  | Welcome to the N.H.K, Vol. 1 by Tatsuhiko Takimoto Racy. Story of a guy who samples the counter-culture only to find a conspiracy. Reasonably priced, but adult themed. | $4.99 |
| 9. |  | APOSIMZ 1 by Tsutomu Nihei Fresh. It's great to find a new book with a fresh concept just starting out. Intriguing storyline makes you crave more. | $3.99 |
| 10. |  | Hunter x Hunter, Vol. 1: The Day of Departure by Yoshihiro Togashi Fun Adventure. Lighter than the rest of the picks in this week's list. Fast-paced story will make you buy the next volume when you get to the end. | $3.99 |
