In the city of Ergastulum, a shady ville filled with made men and petty thieves, whores on the make and cops on the take, there are some deeds too dirty for even its jaded inhabitants to touch. Enter the "Handymen," Nic and Worick, who take care of the jobs no one else will handle. Until the day when a cop they know on the force requests their help in taking down a new gang muscling in on the territory of a top Mafia family. It seems like business (and mayhem) as usual, but the Handymen are about to find that this job is a lot more than they bargained for. Reads R to L (Japanese Style) for mature audiences.

After Alucard's triumphant return, the streets of London were flooded with the blood of vampire Nazi soldiers and crazed Catholic warriors.

However, chaos soon engulfs the streets yet again. Come to find out, not all the Nazis were vanquished after all. Will Alucard and his allies have what it takes to save what is left of the city?

A Claymore - a female warrior named for the sword she carries - travels from medieval village to village to destroy Yoma, monsters who disguise themselves as humans and who are almost impossible to kill. Claymores are half-humans, half-demons who willingly transformed themselves by mixing their blood with monster's blood. Claire, nicknamed silver-eyed killer, is such a powerful Claymore, she can slay a Yoma using only one hand. But she must constantly struggle to keep from becoming a monster herself.

Finally some of the answers are forthcoming that turn a stylish manga into one that can actually be understood. Just when I was about to draw a chart of all the information that was scattered across the first volume and the beginning of this second one.Killy is still trying to make his way up through the megastructure, encountering other people and machines and something in between from time to time. Usually it doesn't lead to friendly conversations. There's lots of action.He's still in search of someone that possesses the Net Terminal Genes, but seemingly without knowing exactly what they are for. Pretty soon, though, Killy (and the reader) will learn of the motivation of at least one faction for finding them. And this manga starts to make sense.I'm going back to reading the Master Editions now and am actually looking forward to the second one of those.3.5 stars for this volume, which contains the last three chapters of the first Master Edition and the first two chapters of the second Master Edition. Confusing, I know. But it's the same story, just collected differently. I still recommend the Master Editions, because of the refined artwork, which makes it easier to identify things.

En 4-6 capítulos que hay por tomo, siempre hay algo que te sorprende, pero el resto es paja o tiene un desarrollo muy lento. Estaba decidida a abandonar este manga desde hace unos días porque en 7 tomos casi no ha pasado nada que influya en la trama principal y justo el último capítulo se queda interesante... En fin. De todas formas, no creo que lo continúe porque realmente me ha costado sacar ganas para siquiera leerme el medio tomo que me quedaba y he tardado un mes en leerme algo que habría leído en una tarde. Me daba muchísima pereza sabiendo lo que hay y me jode porque la historia en sí no está mal, pero llegué a Ajin por parecido con Tokyo Ghoul y a estas alturas éste ya me había volado la cabeza 80 veces. Además, creo que le falta mucha base que fundamente cosas que pasan o de la sociedad y cómo se comporta respecto a los Ajin.

Machiavelli needs to be looked at as he really was. Hence: Can Machiavelli, who makes the following observations, be Machiavellian as we understand the disparaging term? 1. So it is that to know the nature of a people, one need be a Prince; to know the nature of a Prince, one need to be of the people. 2. If a Prince is not given to vices that make him hated, it is unsusal for his subjects to show their affection for him. 3. Opportunity made Moses, Cyrus, Romulus, Theseus, and others; their virtue domi-nated the opportunity, making their homelands noble and happy. Armed prophets win; the disarmed lose. 4. Without faith and religion, man achieves power but not glory. 5. Prominent citizens want to command and oppress; the populace only wants to be free of oppression. 6. A Prince needs a friendly populace; otherwise in diversity there is no hope. 7. A Prince, who rules as a man of valor, avoids disasters, 8. Nations based on mercenary forces will never be solid or secure. 9. Mercenaries are dangerous because of their cowardice 10. There are two ways to fight: one with laws, the other with force. The first is rightly man’s way; the second, the way of beasts.

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.Written for J.R.R. Tolkien’s own children, The Hobbit met with instant critical acclaim when it was first published in 1937. Now recognized as a timeless classic, this introduction to the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, the wizard Gandalf, Gollum, and the spectacular world of Middle-earth recounts of the adventures of a reluctant hero, a powerful and dangerous ring, and the cruel dragon Smaug the Magnificent. The text in this 372-page paperback edition is based on that first published in Great Britain by Collins Modern Classics (1998), and includes a note on the text by Douglas A. Anderson (2001). Unforgettable!

Among Shakespeare's plays, "Hamlet" is considered by many his masterpiece. Among actors, the role of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, is considered the jewel in the crown of a triumphant theatrical career. Now Kenneth Branagh plays the leading role and co-directs a brillant ensemble performance. Three generations of legendary leading actors, many of whom first assembled for the Oscar-winning film "Henry V", gather here to perform the rarely heard complete version of the play. This clear, subtly nuanced, stunning dramatization, presented by The Renaissance Theatre Company in association with "Bbc" Broadcasting, features such luminaries as Sir John Gielgud, Derek Jacobi, Emma Thompson and Christopher Ravenscroft. It combines a full cast with stirring music and sound effects to bring this magnificent Shakespearen classic vividly to life. Revealing new riches with each listening, this production of "Hamlet" is an invaluable aid for students, teachers and all true lovers of Shakespeare - a recording to be treasured for decades to come.

2nd reading: You know what, I liked this a little bit more after reading it again. It's possible that the crap I read before this made this seem better overall ... but, meh. Not bad.~Original review:I don't know man ... I finished this and started on the second volume and I feel like this might be one of those instances where I just don't get the hype. I also don't understand how this is already up to 11 volumes when (some spoilers for volume 2 as well) (view spoiler)[the main character "dies" in the first volume, (though I'm guessing, since I've read a bit of volume 2, that he somehow inhabits one of the Titans, so he's not really dead.) (hide spoiler)]

Storia: ☆-☆☆Disegni: ☆☆☆☆☆Visto che Berserk procedeva fin troppo speditamente (ma anche no) qualche anno fa Miura si è preso una pausa dal sua manga più famoso e si è dedicato a questa storia autoconclusiva (o no?) frullandoci dentro tutto quello che gli veniva in mente al momento: mitologia greca, Nausicaa nella valle del vento, l'Attacco dei Giganti (sta avendo successo, quindi posso farci soldi pure io), Final Fantasy, ecc.In fin dei conti, l'autore aveva bisogno di una boccata d'aria dal mondo tetro e nichilista di Berserk e questa storia è stata una lettura spensierata arricchita da disegni meravigliosi (Miura è un vero Maestro), peccato che alcuni feticismi che in teoria avrebbero dovuto far ridere mi abbiano invece fatto accapponare la pelle...Peccato, il world-building dell'ambientazione era notevole e con 4-5 volumi in più il wrestler Delos e la piccola Prome(teo) sarebbero stati due personaggi interessanti invece di una pseudo-parodia di Gatsu e Pak... ma visto il finale aperto potremmo vedere un seguito in futuro.Possibilmente dopo la fine di Berserk, ma ormai ho davvero perso le speranze di vederne la conclusione.
