Beast Master (Volume 1) Kyousuke Motomi . Get past that whole S & M vibe going on on the cover of this book and you get a pretty sweet story, actually. Beast Master follows high school girl Yuiko Kubozuka, who loves animals. In a smother-them-to-death sort of way that gives Elmyra from Tiny Toons a run for her money. Which is why animals don't give her the time of day. But then a mysterious wild-eyed...

Beast Master, by Kyousuke Motomi, is one of the few contemporary shojo manga titles I know of that was created by a male artist. How does it stack up as a shojo work? Although the title and even the cover image imply a preoccupation with both traditional forms of gender dominance and their inverse, in reality [...]

Which means yes, of course, she'll now be doing a reality show about weight-loss. At least it's on A&E and not VH1 or something. At least there's that. Though, an A&E exec said the following: "Kirstie is exactly the...
