Meteor Prince (with Asher Sofman)

Covers both volumes of Meteor Prince by Meca Tanaka.A wild and whacky ride awaits in this super-short series about an alien named Io (who is essentially Tamaki Suoh from Ouran High School Host Club) looking for his soul mate, Hako, on Earth. Shojo & Tell host Ashley and her lover Asher dive deep into the use of soul mates in literature and have an excessively silly shipping corner. Remember: You and me, baby, ain't nothing but mammals, so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel. (But is Io a mammal??)REFERENCESMeteor Prince is available from Viz Media's Shojo Beat lineMeca Tanaka's other work, The Young Master's Revenge, is also available from Shojo Beat.
