  “The eighth volume is where it all changes,” they said (mangling of a Jack Harkness quote mine). And they were right. I reviewed this game-changing volume of Vampire Knight for this week’s Manga Minis column. You can find that review here . Review copy provided by the publisher.

• Vampire Knight 5-7 by Matsuri Hino: B

  
  Soliloquy in Blue — Authority: 471
  Vampire Knight is a series with a plot that makes sense while you’re reading it, but is difficult to summarize in a coherent manner. In these three volumes, the story moves away from Zero and his angst to focus more squarely on Yuki, who is increasingly more insistent upon uncovering her missing memories. She ...

  J!-ENT entertainment news pop culture TV music DVD Blu-ray reviews fashion celebrity USA Asia UK — Authority: 496
  “Volume 7 of ‘honey and clover’ is more Takemoto-driven and explores the fears and angst that young adults have when they come close to graduating from college.  In Takemoto’s case, that feeling that he must find himself and Chica Umino gives us wonderful insight on the transformation of Takemoto.   Another ...

  I reviewed volume ten of this silly series for this month’s On the Shojo Beat column. It’s the penultimate volume, so it offers all kinds of revelations that are supposed to be dramatic but really only serve to amuse. You can find that review here . Review copy provided by the publisher.

  Soliloquy in Blue — Authority: 471
  I had no idea it’d been an entire year since I’d read any Skip Beat! . At least my procrastination produced an appealing side effect: a nice little stack of volumes to catch up on! Volume fifteen finds Kyoko shooting on location for the TV drama in which she and Ren are cast. Sho happens to be staying in the ...

  Soliloquy in Blue — Authority: 471
  I reviewed volume fourteen of Love*Com for this month’s On the Shojo Beat column. It didn’t start well, since Risa’s meddling grandfather brings about some ridiculous angst, but there are some nice scenes that keep it from being a total bust. You can find that review here .

• Love*Com 12-13 by Aya Nakahara: B

  
  Soliloquy in Blue — Authority: 471
  I used to be very fond of Love*Com but after a disappointing eleventh volume , my ardor cooled and the volumes have been piling up. For most of these two volumes, I was happy again, but when Risa’s grandfather is introduced at the end of volume thirteen, it all goes rapidly downhill. Volume twelve begins with ...
