Manga Review: Switch – Volume 11
Switch is a shōnen action police drama focusing mostly on two rookie investigators at the Narcotic Control Department in Japan. Kai Eto is a rookie investigator, who can “switch” personalities whenever pain or emotion overwhelm him. His normal personality is kind and gentle, whereas his alter ego has no compulsions and seems to revel in violence. His partner, Hal Kurabayashi, also a rookie, is a genius investigator who uses his ability, and charm, to help solve cases. They, and their colleagues, investigate drug crimes in Japan fighting against both small-time criminals and vast drug cartels run by various yakuza.
Manga Review: Yakitate!! Japan – Volume 20
When one hears the word shōnen, one of the first things that comes to mind is action. While other stuff like comedy, romance, and adventure come to mind as well, with very few exceptions, such as School Rumble, action is a given. In Yakitate!! Japan there really is no action, at least in the traditional sense. While there is competition, it is not about racing, sports or fighting; it is about food preperation.

One of the girls raises a butcher knife to her throat and slices, and blood gushes out of the other sisters neck, staining her dress and the container.

NBC Orders More Chuck Episodes!
It looks like Chuck isn't "staying in the car" for as long as we thought. Chuck Season 3 may be coming back sooner than we hoped. Instead of premiering in March of 2010 it may be back before the end of 2009. NBC has ordered six additional episodes of Chuck, and that's on top of the 13 episodes the network previously ordered, bringing the show’s season 3 total to 19 eps (just three shy of what’s considered a full season).
Here is the link to the EW article:
