Newsarama introduces new manga reviewer Sarah Vaughn, who starts off with a bang by reviewing two Dr. Master series, Tori Koro and Hinadori Girl.
Almost immediately, a commenter criticizes her for reviewing “obscure Z-list titles that only 5 people will buy.” This is the opposite of my reaction, which was, “Gee, I’m not familiar with these. I wonder where I can find Tori Koro?” It’s a big world out there, and there are plenty of sites reviewing Dramacon this month. I thought it was interesting to see something new. So, Sarah, keep it up. Find me something else I haven’t read yet.
