^___^ I finally managed to get my hands on Tactics, a manga by Sakura Kinoshita (the wonderful mangaka who created the greatest series of all time, Matantei Loki Ragnarok) and I must say I am very very pleased I picked it up.

Thus far, it's about a "goblin hunter" named Kantaro Ichinomiya, who frees the "legendary demon-eating goblin" Haruka. With Haruka and his kitsune maid Yoko, Kantaro deals with the goblins and demons that inhabit Meiji era Japan. (okay, the back of the manga says it's medieval Japan, but I think they're mistaken, mainly because Kan takes a train and Haruka wears English style clothes in volume 1)

It's already out?!?! I've been waiting to read this forever! (exagerated statement) Time to take a trip to the mall!! XD

Sounds interesting. I saw it on the shelf, but I had several non-manga family emembers around, so I held myself back and browsed around with them. I REALLY wanted to read it though. The cover is pretty.

Soo---- any content review for the first volume?

I read through it, and there are really very few things that were offensive. The dialogue was almost completely clean except for two instances (XD I don't count all the time, but in a clean manga, they stand out). I was a happy Kokoro. =D There were also strong Buhddist/Shinto references and references to other gods, but that's to be expected from a manga set in feudal Japan.

And an interesting side note: the lady who co-authored Tactics is named Kazuko Higashiyama. In Matantei Loki Ragnarok, Heimdall's Japanese alias is Kazumi Higashiyama.
