The end of Fruits Basket. Excuse me while I go cry in a corner. I've loved this manga soooo much!

I'm still waiting for the "Ultimate" versions. Those first three volumes spoiled me.

Nice choice! I'm really enjoying this series. It has that Rosario + Vampire vibe, but at the same time has its own unique traits.

I've been waiting on a Viz sale for a while, so I finally get to finish off some series and start some news ones I've been waiting on. Different from my last purchase from a Viz sale because this time relatively few are pre-orders.

Beast Master 1-2
Black Bird 1-3
Bleach 28-30
Gentlemen's Alliance Cross 10
Hayate the Combat Butler 11-14
High School Debut 11-13
Kimi ni Todoke 1-3
Love*Com 14-17
Magic Touch 5-6
Otomen 4-5
Rosario Vampire 9-10
Rurouni Kenshin BIG 1-3 (which I believe is vols. 1-9)
Special A 12-15
Tail of the Moon 8-15
Wild Ones 8-9

I finally got around to reading Princess Princess Plus last month, even though I purchased it earlier this year. I have to agree with Danielle Van Gorder's review at Mania. If you aren't into Tsuda's previous work, it probably won't appeal to you, but if you're a fan, it's a nice addition to the The Day Of Revolution/Family Complex/Princess Princess universe. I like the animation style, and I think it's just as well-written as her other books, but I do admit to a heavily pro-Tsuda bias. One important note: it's a single volume work, not the first volume of a new series, as the review implies.

Plus focuses more on the relationship friction and resolution between the two new students, and less on the comedy and costumes, but it's still cute and relatively light. The Day Of Revolution and its tie-ins got me into manga in the first place, so I'm always happy to read more about this world. I just wish I could get my hands on a copy of the quickly-out-of-print Princess Princess Premium artbook. In the back of Plus, Tsuda makes reference to some additional stories that would be included in Premium, but there's not an English version, to my knowledge. Considering that the English translation of Plus was just released in Spring 2009, there's still hope that Premium will be translated.

Hey Hobby Ninja, would you recommend the first Battle Angel Alita? With the sale going on I was thinking of picking up at least 4 volumes of it, either that or Claymore. Also I wanted to know if buying Black Lagoon would be 'pointless' if I've already seen the anime, which was very good in my opinion.

Berserk 2, 3, & 4
Samurai 7 1
20th Century Boys 1

First purchases ever

Since the April pre-orders came up from Viz, I added a few other items to the order:

Magic Touch 7
Rosario Vampire s2 vol. 1
Kimi ni Todoke 4
Gentlemen's Alliance Cross 11
Honey Hunt 3-4
Rurouni Kenshin BIG 4-5


The last couple were to push me over the edge into free shipping territory.

I would highly recommend Battle Angel Alita and Claymore. Alita is a good sci-fi series with some original ideas. Claymore has a real edge of your seat style to it. You wonder what will happen next with the battle scenes. The anime varied greatly toward the end of the series, so the manga will be different. As for Black Lagoon, it is one of those things that I've bought because I loved the series but have not read yet. My manga backlog is about a hundred books right now. Maybe I can do something about that now that my daughter has gone back to school. smile
