I tried to read a lot of anime graphic novels but I never really got into them. I don't know...I guess I'm sort of a tradionalist at heart. The graphic novel that I do really love is Ghost World by Daniel Clowes. It inspired the movie, and both are very good. I'll give this one a try...I like graphic novels that are about more random things. Stuff not anime or fantasy-y really, but more about just stuff that fiction might be about. And the look of this one is really nice. Cute cover and so forth. <abbr><em>Sadako’s last blog post..<a href="http://dibblyfresh1.blogspot.com/2009/05/bsc-123-claudias-big-party.html" rel="nofollow">BSC #123: Claudia's Big Party</a></abbr></em> I know what you mean about getting used to a specific medium.
