The last thread was getting a bit long and slow to load.

Both English and Japanese manga apply here.

What are your recent purchases?

I received Yotsuba& #7 and Aria #6 last week. This week, I got the light novels My Girlfriend is a Geek and Book Girl and the Suicidal Mime. I wish Yen Press would license/would be able to license Baccano! and Durarara!!...

Book Girl and the Suicidal Mime was very good. I'm hoping to purchase the second volume in the Book Girl series soon.

>3 novelandmangacrazy:
Well the book girl light novels are published by Yen Press, and the story follows a high school boy named Konoha who is friends with a demon named Tohko. This demon eats writing/books. Konoha is forced to write her "snacks" everyday. Then one day, a girl from their school comes to the club room where they hang out everyday. She asks if Konoha will write her some love letters to give to this boy she has a crush on. The story develops into a mystery and deals with some deep issues. I recommend it highly.

3> Both are from Yen Press.

The Girlfriend series is based on a blog and is two books long. There's also a manga adaptation that's two books long. It's apparently the life and times of a guy whose girlfriend is an Akiba Shoujo, or something (I forget the Japanese words, but I know it's not so much fujoshi as Akibahara...though she is a fujoshi). she's called "fujoshi kanojo" at the end, so definitely fujoshi girlfriend... at the beginning of the book, though, the yaoi-fangirl elements didn't seem as strong.

Well, it's 8 hours later and I've since sat and finished the book and, well, yuck.

When it first came out, I looked into it and decided it was probably not going to appeal to me, but I impulse bought it last week because I couldn't remember why it was sticking in my head, when I saw it on the site.

I had been under the impression that it was a novel adaptation of the guy's blog, but it turns out that it's just the blog edited a bit (apparently?) and put into a book. There's no real sense of narrative; it's extremely slice of life. Also, it's almost entirely about how his girlfriend is a fujoshi and how he's embarrassed by her. I guess I can see the appeal to some people, but for myself I wanted to know more about why he stuck with her (other than finding her hot and enjoying the sex), and that's not really answered...

I dunno, it wasn't what I expected and probably I'm not even the target audience. I do wonder why Yen Press licensed it, though. It must have been crazy popular in Japan. And they did a fantastic job converting it to book form while keeping the blog feel by their use of font and white space.

yep I own the first 2 novels. There are colored pages inside, and the story is quite sad, Harvey and Kieli are both unlucky "people", who both just met the only other person, they can relate to. I'm anxious to see, how their relationship will evolve, at the first 2 novels they are still on "big brother watches over little sister- basis". The corporal (radio) brings a comedy element into it.

I just got Amnesia Labyrinth 1 from Seven Seas. I recently started following their twitter, and I really like how approachable the guys running it are. They're great about answering questions and listening to feedback. A lot of it is a marketing thing, and I know that it's mind games, yet I still feel like doing more to support them because of that customer interaction. So, anyway, I was thinking I might get Amnesia Labyrinth if it were licensed, to see if maybe an official translation would make more sense. The fact that Seven Seas are the ones with the license made me buy it sooner than I would have.

But that's a long story to just say I got a new manga I probably wouldn't have bought otherwise.

I also am finally caught up with Yotsuba&!, having received #8 in the same shipment. Now to start converting the earlier ADV books to the Yen Press ones (I prefer their translation).

i've purchased 127 volumes of manga since my last post on 12/13. _-_;; but in keeping with the spirit of "your most recent purchase"....

this week's purchases (all japanese.. except the bilingual kindaichi):
boku no heya he oide yo by saitou rin
HEROINE shikkaku 1-2 by kouda momoko
High School Debut 14 by kawahara kazune
gokusen (bunsho) 11 by morimoto kozueko
ichigo no gakkou by kizuki akira + satou nanki
issho ni ofuro by taamo
juicy by saitou rin
kindaichi shounen no jikenbo (bilingual) 2-4 by kanari yozaburo
kiss/hug 1-2 by mitsuki kako
kiss ni juuzoku by ikemi runa
kyou mo ashita mo. 8 by emura
liar x liar 1 by kindaichi renjuro
MISS RAIN by takeuchi naoko
mitsuai celeb by mitsuki kako
NANA 19 by yazawa ai
PEN to CHOCOLATE 1 by nemu youko
rurouni kenshin 2-14 by watsuki nobuhiro
shoujo no MELANCHOLY by taamo
sunusumumuriku no koibito 1 by taamo
switch girl 1 by aida natsumi

the gokusen and high shool debut purchases were practically a surprise for me. when high school debut 14 first popped out, i thought i already had it... and it was just a reprint of the last volume.. since, you know.. i already completed the series. but it turns out that this volume had all the post-series chapters. the gokusen 11 purchase was a risk. i don't have any of the previous bunsho editions since i had the regular editions... but after finding out that there were at least 5 extra chapters after series end (the halloween special chapters and the 2008-2009 special chapters), i took a risk.. and it paid off. this volume had all the new extra chapters as well.

i ended up picking up kenshin (even though i was more hoping to get the special ed reprints) because i stumbled onto them at $0.48 per volume at a half price books.

liar x liar is too much for me to handle right now... stress-wise. (it really is a fairly simple shoujo mix-up story... but it's still stressing me out.)

a couple of purchases that i'm actually really rather loving: game over by mizutani fuka and ichigo no gakkou by kizuki akira + satou nanki. yes, they both deal with relationships with age gaps. and they're told quite nicely.

HEROINE shikkaku is breaking my heart.

Kimi ni Todoke 3
Sakura Hime: Legend of Princess Sakura

Thoroughly enjoyed both, and can't wait for the next installment of Sakura Hime. It was refreshing after reading Tanemura's last work that came out in English, Mistress Fortune. That one was just awful, at least story wise. It was only one volume and didn't make much sense. The ending was extremely loose ended and the characters were annoying. I'm really glad to see a new one that was actually quite surprising and really interesting, and I have a feeling it's going to get better. Although, the art in both Sakura Hime and MF is gorgeous.

Amnesia Labyrinth 2 arrived today. I really didn't expect Seven Seas to release it only 3 months after the first one.

PS: The art in it continues to suck donkey balls. On the one hand, the use of hatching and ink instead of screentones helps keep the mood creepy, but it's done poorly, especially compared to other instances with similar moods (xxxHolic, for example), and the faces are appalling - characters often don't look like the same person from panel to panel, even when they're supposed to, and other characters are almost indistinguishable. Meanwhile, the artist's ability to draw convincing and not comically bad faces from certain angles is nonexistent. (Nothing like the space between mouth and chin being the same distance as eyebrows to mouth when the face is tilted up slightly, which is about 5 times as much as otherwise.)

Wondering Son vol. 1!

It's sooooooo gorgeous you guys. It's definitely intended more for the literary graphic novel scene than the manga scene, judging by the way the book was designed, and the cover, and everything. It's easily twice as big as my standard paperback manga, plus it's hardcover, and it has lots of color pages, and an entire essay about honorifics and pronouns. (And, also, it's $20 and not $10, so...)

I got a few volume on sale at Borders a few weeks ago. I got Volume 8 of Godchild and Gunslinger Girl omnibus 1 & 2.

I also ordered Mars volume 4, which was the only one that I was missing from the series.

Borders again.

Pluto 1-8
Case Closed 20

I read all 8 volumes of Pluto in a single day... I planned to spread out the enjoyment, but ended up reading the entire series in one go. I definitely recommend it if you like Osamu Tezuka, science fiction, or stories in the seinen genre.

Stepping on Roses 1 by Rinko Ueda
The Magic Touch 1 by Izumi Tsubaki

Hmm... the only reason I got The Magic Touch was because they did not have volume 4 of Oresama Teacher (which by the way I was very mad about >:( ) and I thought I'd try something by the same author. I'd heard that it was pretty bad, especially compared to Oresama, but I wanted to just see what it was like. I have to say that it's been just... ugh. XD But I'm very excited to read Stepping on Roses!

SUGARS 1 by yamamori mika
suki tte iwaseru houhou 2-3 by nagata masami
tenshi 1/2 houteishiki 1 by hidaka banri
wake ari nan desu by honda natsumi

also got:
PARTY! ~HANA~

so, first of all, "PARTY! ~HANA~" is an independent compilation of manga by some of the popular manga artists (all publishing in shueisha, as far as i can tell) as their charity contribution for the disaster. participants include nanaji nagamu (parfait tic!), toumori miyoshi (akuma to love song), hazuki megumi (ojousama wa oyomesama), shinjo mayu (kaikan phrase), takasuka yue (good morning call)... they've put in 1-10 page "extras shorts" of currently running series or original stories to entice fans to buy their work, and contribute to the cause. (worth it, not just for the contribution... but for the few minutes before The Wedding in parfait tic!)

i heart-heart hirunaka no ryuusei right now (although, unfortunately, not as into SUGARS.. which, i think, actually ranked as a reader's choice last year)... there's a potential for a S-T relationship.. i like the feel of the story and look forward to more. (in a way, i *think* it gives me about the same feeling as aoha ride)....

i'm also looking forward to 14 sai no koi... in mizutani fuuka's understated touch. i LOVED "GAME OVER', which she did... but was so painfully short.

i like 360゜MATERIAL, but it's been turning out to be mostly about silent jealousies and noble idiots... i want some of the old fluff. take kokoro BUTTON, for example...... i like.

suki tte iwaseru houhou is pretty cute, but i'm thinking... it could probably be better.
