Off the Shelf is a weekly conversational feature hosted at Melinda Beasi’s Manga Bookshelf site in which we talk about some of the manga we’ve been reading lately. Occasionally, the titles I mention there will be reviewed on Soliloquy in Blue in greater depth, but not all will, and so I’ve created this archive of links to each week’s column and listed the books I discuss therein.
