Notes:
(1) Let's read some American manga... which by definition probably doesn't count as manga.
(2) In 2014, DC Comics decided to court the YA crowd, with a revamped "Batgirl" and a new series, "Gotham Academy." This would soon be followed by "Black Canary."
- All three have very manga-influenced art, use bright colors, and just happen to be written by Brenden Fletcher.

Notes:
(1) What are the chances that a girl with olive skin and silver hair would be named Olive Silverlock?
(2) The catchphrase "Oh my crap!" is simply adorable.
(3) I had no idea Professor MacPherson was Scottish until they started spelling her dialogue phonetically.
- Wonder if she's a Professor McGonagall analogue? Probably, since the book is inspired by Harry Potter.

Notes:
(1) I enjoy the colorist's choice to use unmoving plaid. It feels very retro animation, and is likely used for the same reason: as having to illustrate plaid in moving fabric over and over would be a total headache.
(2) I don’t know why, but Brenden Fletcher just loves double-page spreads where characters move through a wide shot. I find it cumbersome and annoying.
