What manga or manga-style comic novel have you read recently?

About a week ago, I read two really cool mangas: Translucent and Return to Labyrinth.

Translucent is a somewhat sad story about a really rare disease that turns its victims invisible. The way the story goes reminds me of how I have been told AIDS was handled in the eighties when nobody knew what it was, only it's non-lethal. The main wants to be an actress of all things, even though she goes invisible every four weeks. Really poignant stuff.

Return to Labyrinth is a sequel to the movie with David Bowie. It seems that Jareth is still set on Tobey... much to Tobey's displeasure. The wishes Jereth make come true all get Tobey in trouble. Sarah did seem to let her imagination fall by the wayside... but that's too early to tell. My cousin really likes the movie... and I love the costumes in it... from what I've heard, it's a good thing that not all the scenes went as Jim Henson planned... it's also really zany at times... the manga, I mean.
