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.

spin-off series set 10 years after the original series ended
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.

adventure itself is quite different from the ones usually
found in the games of this series but everything seems
unusual around here, except for the appearance of the
characters.
