-Oh well. I'm a bit disappointed. Don't take it wrong. The reason for that is because in the first 3 volumes there was promise of unique main characters, but that falls flat. So this is a fine series but it is standard. You have probably read something similar before. And wouldn't remember anything from this series after reading.

Random Scans & Sherlock: Dance in the Vampire Bund v1-v6

Dance in the Vampire Bund released by Sherlock

-Here's Sherlock's take on this rather famous series.
       v1-v3   v4-v6       Also as torrent: link

baka

-I find Dance in the Vampire Bund quite interesting. Though I got to say that is partly due to how slowly the story moves. And while I have thing for such, this was ridiculous. Nevertheless in the omnibus format this series really get's to shine. A bit cliche but very entertaining story arc.

The classic manga series.

Rurouni Kenshin is probably most known from it's fight scenes but I personally liked it's character relationship moments far more. And therefore this is my picture of choice.

-v8 is actually omnibus of v8-v10. v7 is now finally uploaded. There were slight quality problems with color pages. And we are for some reason missing All color pages of v1 and v3. We might look into that in future but probably not.
Anyway, series is now finished. Not best shoujo I have read yet strangely fascinating. After reading one book I know I had to read them all.

omnibus

I decided to say few words for about two omnibus (3 volume books) I added to Rescan Mania.
Battle Angel Alita - Last Order v1-v3 and Dance in the Vampire Bund v4-6.

Battle Angel Alita - Last Order v1-v3 was disappointing. Two first volumes are simply not worth reading! I'm serious. (Somewhat) luckily you can start reading from third volume without missing anything (as nothing interesting happened in first two books). In third volume the series really starts. Several interesting characters are introduced as well as the world where story is set in.
While good, it's no way great as the original Battle Angel Alita series but still certainly worth reading.
At the end of the book there are also two short stories. These are not set to Battle Angel Alita universe. While I didn't dislike, neither seemed special nor had any real story. Yet at least art in them is good and interesting.

Dance in the Vampire Bund v4-6 was interesting. Though I got to say that' mainly because of how slowly the story moves. And while I have thing for such, this was ridiculous. Nevertheless it is saved by it's omnibus format. By reading through 3 volumes at once you get the minimum amount of story you need from manga volume. Indeed I don't see how else to enjoy this series except in 3 vol chucks. And if doing so you will get to enjoy a bit cliche but very entertaining story arc.
So it's shame that our scan quality was shit. I'm bit too cruel as it's still 600dpi as usual and clean print but the fact is that spines are far worse then it's normal to us.

Blade of the Immortal v21
Is in Rescans Mania. This book was my least favorite part of story arc until I re-read it. It was definitely worth to be rescanned. I think we shall rescan v26 too at some point.
Angel Sanctuary v2 v3 and v4 v5
also rescan. This series has surprising many fans asking it rescanned.

-More still coming out.


BUT HEY, DID YOU NOTICE RELEASES!!!? 

Ningen Konchuuki 
 was also requested. Heavily. Now done even better as quickly released by ghiblike in HQ. In the case name ghiblike ain't familiar, keep scrolling down the page. As just recently he also released Tezuka's  book: Ayako in HQ.

Random Scans: PHD Phantasy Degree v1-v10

PhD: Phantasy Degree v1-v10


v1: Hard to form opinion of this series. It pretty much screams generic from it's art and plot, but characters also show personality and plot flows nicely. Well, the first volume is usually the weakest. This manga shows promise. v2: Action! v3: Now wait a second. Who was the main character again? v4: WOW, now this series is kicking! So good. v5: Good continues. I like it when story isn't clear about where it's going. v6: interesting but as much as v5. v7 and v8 are good if you have gotten into story. v10: wtf?
In any case series stops to v10.

Good art, theme and characters. But obvious story(?). Apparently this book is meant for kids.
This same can be said from both Clockwork Sky and Hollow Fields.
