The Prince of Tennis # 19, Golgo 13 #8

I just finished reading Prince of Tennis 19, i know i know, im behind the times, but nonetheless its new to me. Anyway, Its got great art, as always and more of Sadaharus "Special Vegetal Juice" which always adds a comedic value to the already half-comedy manga. If you've been reading P.o.t. for a while then this is a definite pick up as it is leading into the climatic "Nationals" tennis tournament. If you're just hearing of this manga now, or think its a kiddy-esque story, try out Volume #1 and see what you think. It never hurts to give a manga a chance, unless that is if you for some reason bought any ani-manga in your life.

Also in this exciting new post (^_^;) I will add that I have also completed Golgo 13 Volume number 8. Another classic two-some of G13 stories, one where Mr. Duke Togo faces off against a russian psychic that can kill with a glance, and another where a sicilian priest(You know, priests, those guys who tell you to forgive your trespassers?) hires golgo for some revenge. All in all its a great couple of stories with some great turns and twists when they near the end. Well, now I have to get to bed, I hear the birds already.

Oh, on another note, reading a novel right now called Snow Crash. This is probably one of the most engrossing storylines ive ever read. It really pulls you in. If you like samurais, a cyberpunk future, and a whole bunch of "world that doesnt care anymore" this book is for you. Even if you don't, this is a great sci-fi read. Pick it up if you havent already.
