Day 2: Marcus Pelegrimas' "Howling Legion" (Skinners #2)



Synopsis: No one said fighting monsters was going to be easy...

You can't see them, but they're here: hiding in the pools of shadow outside a Chicago burger joint... wreaking havoc in Kansas City... feeding in sleazy "blood brothels" that cater to humans who itch to get bitten.

Cole was designing video games when he learned the truth — that foul creatures of the night lust for our blood... and our world. Now he's a "Skinner," a member of an ancient secret society of warriors entrusted with keeping the terror at bay. Monsters once chained to the wilderness are suddenly free and descending, razor claws ripping, on the unsuspecting city. No one knows what's coming — but Cole and his seductive partner, Paige, will be the first to dive into the meat grinder.

Kazuma Kodaka's "Kiss Me, Teacher #3" (manga), #96

First thing first: The art is beautiful, truly amazing. Much better and much more consistent than in Kazuma Kodaka's other masterpiece, "Kizuna". I'm smitten.

Second, the story is simply sweet. I loved the background story about Masami and Masayoshi's past, about their mother and father - it made the characters much more three-dimensional. And the trip to Norway was quite funny too, but surprisingly touching what with their father and his "problem" with Masami falling for a man.

This series is definitely a keeper.
