I have been bad about updating my latest manga reviews here on the el-jay:

Wanted to post links to my two most recent manga reviews over at Comics Should Be Good:

Drop by and check out the review here.

I continue to struggle with the good and bad that comes with this mystery series and hope for some monster pay-off in future volumes. Read my take on the most recent volumes here.
