King of Editors

Henshuu Ou
Hensyuo?
by Tsuchida Seiki 土田世紀

Serialized in Big Comic Originally 15 volumes, but the SB edition may be fewer volumes

If you can read Japanese, here's a wiki page about it.

I think there may be a drama based on it called "Hensyuo" that aired on Fuji TV in 2000, but no torrents exist. If you can get a hold of this show somehow, email me!

Panels we talked about on the show.

I've made this entry to cross-post on mangacast, and I fully intend to, just as soon as I can figure out how Feedburner works.

These reviews are also posted on my "Manga Recon" column on Buzzscope.com, and I've pretty much read them straight from the column, but I have added the occasional audio note here and there. Buzzscope is loosely associated with Midtown Comics, which is right here in the heart of New York City.

I hope to have some kind of MangaRecon feed where if you really like MangaRecon, you can just subscribe to that. I intend to include all the manga reviews as regular Ninja Consultant shows, unless I get a ton of complaints or something.

Also, sorry to Andrew - your interview will be later than ever, and for those of you waiting for part three of David Ng... maybe this weekend I'll put another show up? We'll see what happens.

Here's the manga I reviewed:

	Love Roma Minoru Toyoda Del Ray
	Pieces of a Spiral Tachibana Kaimu CMX
	Ouran High School Host Club Bisco Hatori Shojo Beat
	Tenjo Tenge, Volume 3 Oh! Great CMX
	The Wallflower, Volume 1 Tomoko Hayakawa Del Ray
	The Wallflower, Volume 2 Tomoko Hayakawa Del Ray
