    Two series that I am looking forward to the most-

    Arte -

    Arte was born into an aristocratic family in Florence during the 16th century Renaissance era. Being female, it was unheard of for one to become an artist. Driven by her love of art, Arte is willing to cast aside her aristocratic lifestyle to become an artist.

    Wave, Listen to Me! -

    The stage is Sapporo, Hokkaido. One night, our heroine, Minare Koda, spills her heartbroken woes to a radio station worker she meets while out drinking one night. The next day, she hears a recording of her pitiful grumbling being played live over the air. Minare storms into the station in a rage, only to then be duped by the station director into doing an impromptu talk show explaining her harsh dialogue. With just one recording, the many eccentric facets of Minare's life begin to pull every which direction as she falls ever deeper into the world of radio.

    An excerpt from tezukaosamu.net-

    Tezuka Osamu's manga and animated films had a tremendous impact on the shaping of the psychology of Japan's postwar youth. His work changed the concept of the Japanese cartoon, transforming it into an irresistible art form and incorporating a variety of new styles in creating the "story cartoon." Changing the face of literature and movies, his work also influenced a range of other genres.
    His impact on animated film was equal to that which he had on the manga world. The lovable characters appearing in works such as Japan's first animated TV series "ASTRO BOY," the color animated TV series "Jungle Emperor Leo", and the two-hour animated special "Bander Book," captured the hearts of the Japanese through the medium of television, propelling the animated film to tremendous popularity in Japanese general society.

    Finally caught up with latest City Hunter chapter.....or should I say the one that was scanlated recently. It is funny that a series that spawned 4 seasons and several OVAs and is mega popular in France never got complete English manga adaptation.

    I also started with Double Taisei recently and liking it so far. It has its own issue with pacing. The first five chapters felt really fast and could have slowed down in my opinion. Unfortunately there has been a rumour floating around that it will be axed soon so there is that.
