Another manga to think about

Holy-Shades-of-"Angelic Layer"-Batman!! It's the return of the fighting dolls!

Yep, only this time a bit more fan-service served up, as the girls attach control strips to their bodies to power the dolls during a fight ... use your Imagination; in fact, that's the name of the fight-game in this new series!

In issue one, a lot more wrestling moves than we saw in the 'Clamp' series ... could be one to follow (dare we even hope for it to be so successful it gets an anime adaptation?) ... Buy it and show your support!

A couple things

To my shame, I found this in an over-looked email: Thanks Metlfan!

"Just wanted to let you know that I have two manga on the way from Jgoods. Here are the links:

The first, is more a novel with illustrations, rather than manga (I have it); the second, I know nothing about. Any updates will be gladly accepted, Metlfan!
