Otaku USA: On The Shelf – August 24, 2011
New manga day! Well… yesterday was anyway. Not much out this week but still some goodies. You can read the whopping list of four over at this week’s edition of Otaku USA’s On The Shelf.
My top pick this week is the new volume of Oh!Great’s Air Gear. Having just finished the new omnibus book of Tenjo Tenge, I’m ready for another similar dose of action! It’s also a relief knowing Air Gear isn’t as violent, sexual and over-dramatized. Sure it is all of those things too, but the years between the two series has made the art much more polished and the story tighter.

I dropped Air Gear after the Omnibus came out but for me it kind of jumped the shark for around volume 10 it went from being fun to overwrought sure not as overwrought as Tenjo Tenge it also seemed like Oh Great! tried to write above his abbility IMO.
