A few months ago, I picked up my first issue of Yen Plus. Considering how much manga and comic collections cost, it can get really expensive to buy into a series with a large number of volumes. This is one of the major reasons I started reading such magazines like Yen Plus, Shonen Jump and Shojo Beat. It helps to satisfy my needs without breaking the bank.
With this first issue, I noticed that Svetlana Chmakova had a new-ish series being published within it’s pages. I had really enjoyed her Dramacon series and I was excited to have the chance at reading more of her work. Unfortunately, I ended up starting to read Night School several chapters in which left me a little confused. So, I was happy to hear that the first volume was released in book form.
Mixed in with her own flair, Svetlana adds in a bit of Harry Potter, a dash of Buffy and a hint of Vampire Knight with her new series, Night School. While not terrible original, it’s a fun read that leaves you wanting to know what happens next. A good story is a good story no matter how original it is. So, if you enjoyed ‘Dramacon’, I would certainly recommend giving this one a shot.
