Manga Review: Hayate the Combat Butler – Volume 13
Hayate the Combat Butler Volume 13, the shōnen manga, contines its comedic storyline as it constantly finds ways to make continual fun of just about everything. While this volume does break the fourth wall on a couple of occasions, it is mostly related to the anime. Volume 13 continues with a bunch of 1-2 chapter stories, sometimes building on past continuity of previous chapters. The end of the volume begins a slightly longer café arc. While most of the chapters are essentially gag chapters, for the most part they do seem to have a bit more character development than the previous volume.

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.

There’s a opalescent container on the stage, and twin girls dressed in white party dresses are raised to the top of the sphere, while a morbid nursery rhyme is recited.
