Hello everyone, and welcome to my new blog Geek Girl Reads Manga! This blog was inspired by the Mark Reads blog maintained by Mark Oshiro, and I hope to be able to maintain the spirit of his blog here while going in my own direction.
A little about me, though: My name is Beth, and I am a fan of manga (Japanese comic books), particularly the horror titles. I got started with horror manga by reading Uzumaki by Junji Ito, and I've been hooked ever since. Japanese horror is just so delightfully weird at times, relying on psychological chills rather than the blood and guts of a lot of Western horror.
I've started doing dedicated reviews thanks to my own discovery of the Mark Reads blog (and by extension, Mark Does Stuff), so I figured I would give this a shot. If you're familiar with Mark Reads, you know the drill: I will read a title one chapter at a time, and give my review and overall impressions of each chapter as I go. Hopefully this will result in a more satisfying read, during which I'm able to understand the story better.
That said, I'll be going into these titles blind, so NO SPOILERS! I ask this as a courtesy to me, who has had countless twists ruined for me due to other spoiler-hounds with loose lips (Like The Sixth Sense, grrrr). I have no idea how large the horror manga fanbase is, or how many of it I will attract with this blog, but please be courteous.
Thanks, and enjoy my blog!
