I have a lot of comics to read. There's a backlog of Iron Man, Gundam: the Origin and the Walking Dead waiting for me. So, no new comics for the time being. My friend Leila had no such inhibitions. Those mystery manga bundles at Forbidden Planet were too tempting. At £5 a bundle, it's easy to see why. Before long I had become her helper/man servant, carrying two bundles of manga for her.
Wait! It's not all tired arms for me. I got a free manga. Volume 2 of Satsuma Gishiden. Yes, the manga bundle really was quite random, and you could end up with volume 10 of some series you've never read in your life. Still, this one caught my eye with its intense artwork and the barely clothed scowling samurai.

Phwoar! The only downside is this series never got fully published in English. There's plenty of the entire series in French and Spanish, not so much in English.
