January 2011 Manga Recommendations

Here’s 10 manga of varying type and vintage that caught my fancy for the month of January. I’m technically aiming for the end of each month, so it’s a tad late!

January Manga Recommendations:

Chikutaku Bonbon by Katsuta Bun

Chikutaku Bonbon

Chikutaku Bonbon (Tick Tock Dong Dong) follows a young woman who lives in early 1900s Tokyo.  While originally appearing to have a supernatural bent, by the third chapter, the story settles in as a romantic comedy.  The beginning shows good potential with unique chemistry between the two lead characters.
