Just got:

Shirley
Castle of Dreams
Nodame Cantabile v.16

Let me know what you thought of Shirley. Debating on that one myself.

I enjoyed it, but probably more because I haven't read Emma yet. She admits that the quality of Shirley is not as good as Emma.

But I don't know, I enjoyed it anyway. It was what I expected, sweet, cute and light, though the stories could have been more fleshed out. I did think she was adorable twirling around in front of the mirror when she got her uniform.

Are you thinking of getting it?

Yeah. Been debating on this one for a little while, though i've heard similar things to what you said about the characters not being fleshed out as it could have been. But i think that i just might go and get it next time i get a chance to.

Recently I have purchased all of Alice 19th an ausome manga I might add.I have also purchased Mink 1-6 and dream saga 1+2.

Hitohira 1,2,3
High School Debut 9
Love*Com 12
Kurohime 11
We Were There 4
S.A. 10
Otomen 2
Ikigami 1 Volume one of this series is interesting. It has a chilling affect that you can recognize in our cultural changes today.

From Del Rey sale:

Wallflower 21 (pre-order)
Suzuka 1-12
Mamotte! Lollipop 1-7
Pichi Pichi Pitch 1-7

My sister put the last 2 series on there many months ago when I told her to go through and pick out all the manga she might want me to get on the last Del Rey sale. They've been sitting in my shopping cart saved since then, so now is the perfect time to get them and still come in under the dollar amount I wanted to spend on this sale ($200.)

Though I'm sure I'll end up reading them as well they aren't on the top of my list. Has anyone read them and could tell me if I'm going to be missing much by skipping them for a while?

Also, as a side note, I bought Hayate the Combat Butler 1-10 a while ago and am currently finishing number 6. It might not be for everyone, but I am constantly laughing while reading it, if you don't mind constant breaking of the fourth wall, I recommend picking it up.

GreenGel: Mamotte! Lollipop's kinda average.. not sure about Pichi Pichi Pitch.. But Wallflower and Suzuka are not bad choices.. and Hayate is also readable.. ^_^

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, vol.1

Good stuff, though the translation seems a little clunky in some areas.
