Graphic novels the hot new library item
Have you heard about the latest trend in youth literature?
It is the graphic novel. While many people perceive these to

only with a modern look. While some are in traditional comic
book format, others have text and graphics blended on each
page and require careful reading to follow the story.

in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, but now we have essentially another filler

Noa and DOOM arcs) for the original anime in Yu-Gi-Oh!
Capsule Monsters.

found in the games of this series but everything seems
unusual around here, except for the appearance of the
characters.
