KAMUI
by Broccoli Books is a manga that I found a bit more interesting than the last one I read, Until The Full Moon.
This manga has an edgy, tech infested, post apocalypse feel.
The world has been destroyed by a technology overload and resulting earthquakes. Humans cower in the face of robots, their only saviors being the NOA, an organization of scientifically enhanced twenty-somethings.
Atsuma is an unknown who allows himself to be recruited by the NOA in order to gain knowledge about an ancient being who may be able to help the humans regain earth control. Atsuma has an orb that talks inside him. As a reader, it’s not clear who or what it is, but it seems to be helping his mission.
In a sexy, gamer-style, this manga has a lot to offer video game enthusiasts and those interested in post-apocalyptic life.
The storyline, though intriguing, didn’t really get anywhere in this first book. I’m not sure it’s inspired me to buy any other volumes. The art was pretty good and the read wasn’t bad. Unfortunately, Broccoli Books don’t ever seem to wow me, which is probably why they ceased operations in December 2008.
If you’d like to learn more about Kamui, you can check out the volumes on Amazon.com.

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog two is still in the works. Zack Whedon in and interview lets us know
- They are meeting every so often to talk about the project.
- “There are a handful of songs in some state of being written,”
- “I think that we will focus on that more now that Joss [Whedon] is done with ‘Dollhous’e and has a little more time to focus on other projects.”
It hurts to think that Dollhouse is done but on the plus side I like hearing that Joss will have more time to work on the project. How long before we will get to see a Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog Two? Probably quite a while but I would rather wait for a brilliant sequel then to rush into something unsubstantial.
Meanwhile, for those of us wanting more Doctor Horrible can follow along in the comics. Whedon has plans for more Dr. Horrible comics.
- A collection of all the ‘Dr. Horrible’ mini comics from online
- “…A new story about the Evil League of Evil.”
I’m excited about a story in which we would get more about the members in the Evil League of Evil especially those featured at the end of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. He will definitely do more Bad Horse. I’m hoping something more about the Evil Whinny.
