And the winner of the Sherlock Bones manga giveaway is…Serene!
As the winner, Serene will be receiving a copy of Yuma Ando and Yuki Sato’s Sherlock Bones, Volume 1 as published by Kodansha Comics. Because Sherlock Bones features a rather unusual detective—Sherlock Holmes reincarnated as a puppy—for this giveaway I was interested in learning more about other people’s favorite detectives and unusual crime solvers. Check out the Sherlock Bones Giveaway comments for all of the responses. And, as usual, I have taking this opportunity to compile a list!
