?????Tsubasa: Those with Wings Volume 2 (bunkobon)–> BUY FROM AMAZON!It is strange to see the very different approaches in storytelling that Takaya-sensei has between Tsubasa and Phantom Dream, which were partially done at the same time (March 1994 to August 1997 for Phantom Dream and October 1995 to May 1998 for Tsubasa).

When I heard some old school anime/manga fans complain that Yen Press

?????????The first series of Hayate the Combat Butler left me with mixed feelings as it was at times brilliant and at times it was very tedious. The story flow of the first series bothered me, but since there were those who encouraged me to read the manga, I discovered via the manga the true brilliance of the title with Hata-sensei clearly weaving a fun, funny, and interesting tale. So when
