Super Manga Blast! #31

SUPER MANGA BLAST! #31 B&W. (Shirow/Kitoh/Kobayashi/Takada/Utatane & Morimoto) Shadow Star enters its fifth volume by introducing new characters, and bringing Akira face-to-face with the evil dragon empath, Satomi Ozawa. The mystery continues to slowly unravel and tie itself back up in Seraphic Feather where well learn a bit about the past while recovering from the battle against Apep Heidemann. And speaking of battles, the quest to the sacred land has found Yakumo, Pai, and Jake in one heck of a spat in 3x3 Eyes. On the lighter side, in Club 9, "Hello"-chan is having a good time driving her pink Testarossa around town and partying. Finally, more Appleseed Hypernotes. 128 pp. MR.
