Just thought I'd give everyone a little chibi treatment. ;)

First Reviews!
Hullo everyone!
the school year has started, as of september the second...but I hope you all remembered that all our mangas and our precious Shonen Jump came out that day too!
The cover for this months JUMP is:
It has a preview for the new manga, NORA, which VOLUME ONE is out OCT. 7. A free Naruto Card (In Awe of Ledgends), a Naruto mask, and, if you have an iTunes account and live in the states, the first episode of Bleach for free. I am so pissed off, cause you have to live in the states to get the free Bleach episode. URGH! CANADIAN FANS! WE MUST REBEL AGAINST THIS CALMANITY! WE MUST GET OUR FREE BLEACH TOOO!
Well, enough of that...for now.
As for NORA: The Last Chronicle of Devildom:
(cover of the book to be out in October)
It seems to be a great manga so far. It's about a ignorant, selfish, and cocky dog demon named Nora (the guy with the white hair and crazy eyes above) has sent by his Master The Dark Liege, the boss of his world, the Demon World, to be trained to behave better by a human boy, Kazuma(the guy behind Nora on the cover). Nora is stubborn and roudy, and refuses to go, trying to use his trash talk to save himself fromt his fate. The human in question, Kazuma, is a high school honors student who is uptight and just as cocky and full of it as Nora. The boys personalities clash, and The Dark Liege finds it in her way to get Kazuma to train Nora, as he was unwilling at first. The 60 page preview ends with Kazuma accepting the challenge, and Nora whining about how he was about to go through hell, since Kazuma has control over all his fighting abilty/magical demon powers.
I liked Nora exspecially, thought he was hilarious. They go into chibis like The characters in Tite Kubo's BLEACH do, and the humor is similar. For fans of BLEACH, this is a sure go.
The insults and langauge however, is clearly edited from the Japanese version. The insults used in the english version are much too weak to fit the character descriptions. EG: Nora calls the Drak Liege ugly over and over, when you'd think he'd call her a bitch... maybe? I don't know if that bothers anyone else, just thought I'd put that out there.
GINTAMA 8:
Was just as hilarious as the last 7 books. I won't spoil anything for you guys, but about half the volume was taken up by a continuation of Volume 7, with Kagura and her dad. Another two side stories were added, before we take another look at Sa-chan the Assasin, which most of us forget about her since she only had a short appearence at the end of Gintama volume 5. The end of this one was a cliffhanger, the rest of the storyline will continue in Volume 9, due out this year in November.
The Bleach Popularity Pool results were in the back of Bleach volume 24.
1. Ichigo Kurosaki
2. Toshiro Hitsuguaya
3. Rukia Kuchiki
4. Rengi Abari
5. Gin Ichimaru
That is the top 5. Orhime was 10th. 10th! I don't personally know how she made 10th. I would have picked that porn Visored Lisa instead of her!
Well, until later,
