Since the Tokyo pop sale is going on I ordered a bunch of stuff.

Lament of the Lamb volumes 1-7 (complete series)
Beck volumes 7-9
Prince of Tennis volumes 17-21 (ok it's not tokyopop but give me a break)

That's about 15 manga.

I might sell a couple of games and comics, and try to make another order.

welcome to the nhk volume 4-5
Pumpkin Scissors #2
Gunslinger Girl #6

Air Gear 7
Pastel 9
RAL GRAD 1

Dorthea #1

I ordered 20 books from Tokyopop and 20 from Del Rey before.. I'm really a big manga addict.. ^_^

Beck volumes 10 & 11
Dragon head volumes 2-8

I should of ordered the last 2 Dragon head volumes. I didn't realize I was gonna have enough for 2 more.

Recently, I have purchased...

Blood+ vol. 1
Pretty Face 1-4, 6
Your and My Secret 1
Yubisaki Milk Tea 5, 6
Welcome to the NHK 3, 4

claymore 12
pastel 10, 11

The Third vol. 1 & 2
School Rumble 10
Dorothea 2

Just picked up vol 30 of AMG

Last purchase was a TRSI order~

-Earthian vol. 2-4
-Pita Ten vol. 7
-Crimson Spell vol. 1

Just read:

Ghosttalkers Daydream vol. 1
Your and my Secret vol.1
Kieli vol.1

'Ghosttalkers Daydream' is edgy and very adult at times.

'Your and My Secret' is funny and... just wrong sometimes.

'Kieli' is dark and interesting. You have an orphan girl disenfranchised and made to feel like an outsider among her own kind. She meets an immortal man thats being hunted by the authorities. A man she has been told all her life to fear. A man who is an abomination and will bring untold misery and death to all that see him. She nearly brings about his destruction and in the end falls in love with him.
Wait. Isn't that the plot to 'Immortal Rain'?

They're all pretty good books.

You're and My Secret originally came out quite a few years ago. well, vol 1 did, and then absolutely nothing for months, then years. i don't know who has the license and/or is releasing it now, but quite a few of us were rather frustrated about it being dropped for so long.

but, the being so wrong sometimes is what makes it so freaking ROTFLMAO hilarious

i am very excited this manga is back for round 2.

Well... yeah...true.

Your and My Secret volume 2 is my most recent manga purchase. It's hilarious!

I was VERY frustrated when that original hiatus took place. I was beginning to lose hope it would ever be finished.

I just finished reading Parasyte #4, Burst Angel #1 and Resurrection Princess #4. I'm waiting on The Third #3 and Shoulder-A-Coffin Kuro #2 at the moment.

I just picked up Absolute Boyfriend Vol. 5/6 for and Love Attack Vol. 3 for my sister. Haven't really bought anything I've been particularly interested in reading for the past month or so.

Just finished:

Le Chevalier d'Eon Vol.4
Dominion: Conflict 1
Golgo 13 Vol.6
Your and My Secret Vol.2
Love Com Vol. 2
High School Debut Vol. 2

I end up reading a lot of Shojo Beat titles because my daughter collects them and says I would like them. Most of the time she's right.
I love Shirow Masamune's works but they take me longer to absorb them than other manga.

I may just buy the Black God Graphic Novel with the new sale going atm. Anyone read it yet?

Lets see I bought the latest manga for Naruto, Bleach, and the third, Blood plus, the last volume for Togari, Airgear, Tokko, and I'm currently reading the latest issue of Shonen Jump.

Monkey High vol.1
Vampire Hunter D vol.1
Your and My Sercet vol.2 (has gotten incredibly funny)
Drifting Classroom vol.s 8&9
Enchanter vol.9
Kurohime vol.s 6&7
ION
Vampire Bund vol.2
Le Chevalier d'Eon vol.5
Canon vol.1
Priest vol.1

YES Tokyopop Sale!!! and for a week and a half O_O talk about book buys

OH HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got in Aqua 1&2, and Claymore 1

Picked up vol 2 & 3 of Claymore yesterday.

Picked up One Pound Gospel 1 & 2 as well as Yotsuba 4 & 5.

I loves me some manga!

I just finished 'The Drifting Classroom' series. Now I am catching up on 'Welcome to the NHK' with volumes 7&8 and read 'Saikano' 4 last night.

Picked up The Third, vol. 2 today.

Forgot to mention That I should be getting in my copy of Haruhi Suzumiya, vol. 1 anytime this week.

How is this compared to the anime?

I haven't got to see the anime yet, but it's on my list.

I have not read any of the manga, but the anime was well done.

The anime is very good. Just make sure that you have some tissues nearby.

Strawberry 100% vol.3-5 has anyone seen the anime

Just picked up Dorothea vol 3.

Just pre-ordered the latest Bleach and Naruto mangas. Also just ordered every volume of Black Lagoon and Tokko out right now.

Fairy Cube vol. 3 yesterday, and OHSHC vol. 11 a couple days ago for meee~!

Just ordered Love Attack vol. 4 and pre-ordered vol. 5.

I have Your and My Secret volume 3 coming from Rightstuf.

Just got my copy of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, vol. 1

Yeah, it's really funny. I'm highly anticipating volume 4. I hope some licenses the live-action movie as well.

I just started the Read or Die graphic novel, and it's sweetness I got the Read or Dream graphic novels as well and can't wait for them too!

I was thinking about getting into the Read or Die graphic novels. With Your remark, Alpha, I think I really will get into them.

Well, the Read or Die GNs follow Yomiko and Nenene, but I'd have to REALLY recommend the Read or Dream GNs which follow the three paper sisters Maggie Michelle and Anita. They are hilarious!

Most recent purchases Saint Marie 2 , Pet shop of Horrors 1 , and Vampire Princess Miyu 5.

i got me ion, papillon vol 1, time stranger kyoko 1-2, and saint dragon girl vol 1, i need to start buying more anime then mangas lol :< i have alot of anime to catch up on getting.

My sister just bought the first volume of MeruPuri, which I read last night.

Lol went shopping and finally found copy of Alice 19th at Barnes & noble its an ausome series.

I got dragon ball vol.1 in hardback

I just put in a fairly manga heavy order, which is odd as I tend to buy a lot more anime. Recently though, I've just been in the mood to read (and, working long hours recently it is easier to lay down in my bed and read at night then stay up and watch any DVDs.) That said, I just bought:

Love*Com volume 1-6
MeruPuri volume 2, 4 (3 isn't available )

I hate that when an anime isn't in stock or available to find in a store at least.

I picked up the latest 3 volumes of Berserk.

Hey Shinji this is off topic but I love your avatar and Signiture. Thats Reno and Rude right? I love those two, there so funny. I'm sorry, I'm just a big fan of Final Fantasy 7 and all compilations. Did you play Crisis Core? It's sad that Zack had to die without seeing Aerith again. I could go on and on. Anyways, I hope that Square releases Final Fantasy 7 for the PS3.

Trigun volume 2. Needed to hit the $50 mark on an order, was ~$9 short... I have volume 1 anyway, so I figured, what the heck.

I just bought Vampire Knight vols. 1-5 and Kagetora vols. 1-2.

the girl who runs through time or whatever its called volume 1-2 i wonder if there is more then that o.o

I never bought any of the Fruits Basket manga before and now I want to. Should I buy the ultimate editions, the seperate volumes, or wait to see if Tokyopop will release some kind of box set like Viz did with Naruto and Bleach? I would love to here what you guys suggest.

For the sake of pricing I would guess that the Ultimate Editions are the way to go. I'm not sure how many there are out for it though. I know I've seen at least 2 when I was at a Borders the other day (which consisted of 6 volumes of the manga.)

Just bought MeruPuri vol. 3 (2/4 got from RightStuf, but they didn't have 3, so now I've got that finished off.) Also, A.I Love You vol. 8. I haven't even started reading the series yet, but my sister has been enjoying it. I'll have to get around to it sometime.

Planning to get

Naruto 45
all of Rosario Vampire
all of Black Lagoon
Bleach 27

You won't be disappointed. I originally picked up the first volumes of the manga because I thought it would be something fun to read as a diversion, but in all honesty it has become one of my top 3 series currently being released (along with Love*Com and Gakuen Alice.)

After watching the first episode of the anime and thinking it was decent, but nothing special I was surprised by how much I adore the manga. It makes me want to go back and watch more of the anime.

I personally enjoyed the anime. So I was thinking about getting the manga. By the way you talk about it, the manga is good. Thanks for the tip. Now I'll be sure to get it before the Viz sale ends.

Just bought Black Lagoon 1-7

I held off Rosario Vampire for now, but I plan to get it in the near future.

Waiting on a sale for manga from DelRey Manga to get Airgear 9-13 and all of Suzuka available right now.

Mmmkay which order would you like?! Hahaha

My most RECENT order that just shipped contains the Boys Be... DVD collection and volumes 1 through 5 of the manga. =] I also recently received in the mail a bunch of Kurohimes, Buso Renkin and Dragon Drive, with a few of the new Naruto volumes. =]

Recently got Dorothea Vol.4. This series has some basis in historical fact, but just barely. For those that have been reading the series know about the enemy army of the Waldenses and how they are protrayed. A little more information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldenses
Also for those interested here are some pictures I took around my hometown.

There is also an outdoor drama in town that each summer tells the story of the Waldenses from the times of persecution till they came to the U.S. I've been in the drama serveral times (playing Waldensians of course) and my daughter worked with the drama for the first time this past summer. I hope some of the people reading this manga series find this interesting.

Anyone know if Elfen Lied manga is avail anywhere? I read on wiki that there are only 12 vols out and there are some differences between the manga and anime, so i thought that i would check it out. Tho it does seem that it is pretty hard to come by now.

It was never released in the US.

That stinks. Thanks for the info.

Just bought:

Wallflower 12-20 (last couple on pre-order)
Gakuen Alice 7-8 (both pre-order)
Fruits Basket 7-11 (my sister read the three Ultimate Editions I purchased during TokyoPop sale and has been begging me to get more already, I haven't yet started on it.)

Also bought 2 packages of manga bags but will probably wind up needing more before long.

I hope you enjoy it, it gets better and better as it goes along. It's a real treasure.

How is the manga compared to the anime? Is it worth checking out?

I think I mentioned while I was watching the anime that, for me, reading the manga actually made me enjoy the anime even more.

The manga has a lot more stories to it (in general each chapter/story in the manga is fairly self-contained, in that you could read a few out of order and not necessarily be confused by what you are reading) and there are some slight changes from manga to anime (the kiss being one) but in general they are similar. Any time a chapter (or chapters) in the manga is converted to an episode for the anime, they stay pretty close to what happened. I think, if you like the anime already you should definitely pick up a volume or two and see if you think all the "extra" content in the manga is worth it for you. For me, having more Wallflower to consume is great in any form.

I agree with Stefanie on this one. While it is...cute to see her that way, but in just about every ep? It would have been nice to see the "normal" sized version a little more often instead of the small version.

I would say she is drawn more often "normal" sized in the manga simply because the story calls for it (as there is a lot more story to be had.) That said, even in the manga she is drawn SD for most of it.

However, I will say that I appreciated it much more in the manga, and this is one particular item where I think the manga makes the anime better. If you read all the author's notes, etc. about the drawing I think it provides a better view of why she is drawn this way (and also why "background" characters are drawn as humanoid "blobs", etc.)

That particular issue was a mild annoyance for me when I watched the first part of the anime, prior to reading any of the manga, and after reading the manga I found it to enhance the humor in the second half of the anime. Your experience may vary, but that was my take on it.

As I mentioned, I'd check out a volume or two for yourself before jumping in and buying everything available, that will give you a much clearer take on how such issues may hit you.

Just bought:

Ai Yori Aoshi 11-17 (finishing off this series)
Fruits Basket 12-23
Hayate the Combat Butler 6-10 (catching up on everything but pre-orders for this series)

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.

Higurashi: When They Cry 3

I'd just started collecting Emma by Kaoru Mori and realized that beginning with the 5th volume they are extremely hard to find. Has anyone heard whether this series has been discontinued? I'm gonna be bummed out.

There are some still out there tho it's vol 7 that is the hardest to come by right now that i saw. Glad i got mine when i did or else i'd be in trouble myself! When vol 9 gets released i'll need to get that one before that gets hard to come by.

I just ordered:

Nora: The Last Chronicle of Devildom 5
Pokemon: Diamond & Pearl Adventure 4
Ral Omega Grad Graphic Novel 4
Rosario+Vampire Graphic Novel 7
YuGiOh! GX Graphic Novel 3

I ordered papillon vol 3
and gentlemen alliance club 6

whoever haven't read papillon really needs to read it its addicting!! makes me want vol 4 too its torture i tell u waiting!!!

Just bought: Azumanga Daioh Omnibus edition

Claymore #11&12

Picked up Mamoru the Shadow Protector 1-3 in the DrMaster sale not long ago and finished those three. It was a fun read. I wish the light novels and anime were available as I'd be interested in checking them out.

Also picked up from that sale:

Magic Lover's Tower 1-2
Junk 1-7

Which I haven't started yet. A few others I picked up from the sale haven't come in yet.

I also got Y Square in from the Yen Press sale and finished it. The art is great, among the best that I've seen, but the writing is...well...mediocre would be generous. Luckily the art does make it readable, especially as it is short.

I just bought Solanin from Viz. Cute. Looking forward to read through the whole thing.
Ral & Grad wasn't too spectacular, but I love Obata's art work and I just have to buy it.

Dorothea vol 4

From the recent Dark Horse sale:

Oh My Goddess! vol 5-13 and OMG! Colors

I'm sad because I went to Borders yesterday and they had NOT ONE volume of any of the series I'm collecting.

However, they did move the manga section to the middle of the store right next to the Customer Service desk so there weren't a ton of kids to step over and the shelves looked nice and clean. So it wasn't all bad.

I used to work at the Waldenbooks (Borders Group) at our local mall. I kept the shelves full of the good stuff. Since I left, their selection has gotten horrible and they keep shrinking the section. I get most of my manga now from Rightstuf.
The manga buyer for Borders left the company and started Yen Press. That could be a chief reason they no longer seem to care about manga.

I'm kicking myself for forgetting to get this one. Been wanting this for a long time, guess i'll have to wait for the next DH sale (hopefully they'll be in stock then...)

Just ordered the first volume of Me and the Devil Blues. Looks pretty interesting.

It was a last minute add for me! I was re-reading volume one of OMG! and it was mentioned in the notes. So I did a quick search and it ended up being the last item of my order. Hopefully I will see it soon but from what I hear Dark Horse is notoriously slow in restocking

Earlier last week, I bought Fruits Basket 23 and I LOVE it. Now I can only hope Phantom Dream or Tsubasa will end as well as Furuba ended when those series' final volumes come out.

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

Princess Resurrection 1-6

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

Wild Ones 8-9

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.

The anime sticks very close to the manga. The only main difference is the sequence in the events. I say it's worth it though, especially on volumes 6 and up. The new arc that isn't covered in the anime is very impressive.

Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking of buying Pluto, Monster, and either Battle Angel Alita, or Claymore, so what I asking is, what is better? I see that some of the volumes I want are on order so I wouldn't want to get volume one and volume 2 comes a month later, having trouble finding any Viz things in stock,so I open to anything they have licensed

I would go with Claymore, but I'm a bit biased in that area. Studio sales usually deplete the available stock pretty quickly, but in my experience. Viz titles especially the really popular ones (like Claymore), get restocked pretty quickly (less than 2 weeks).

I bought 4 volues of Claymore, 4 volumes of Battle angel Alita and 1 volume of Berserk for $60. But In reality I'm only going to recieve 1 volume of Claymore and one volume of Berserk immediately because everything else is on order lol

Emma vol. 5, 6, 8, 9
Key of the Kingdom vol. 1,2 - this one I got because I read a review for it on ANN and it's shaping up pretty nicely.

Vertical followed by Del Rey was tough to keep down on purchasing, but I picked up:

Kitchen Princess vol. 3-10
Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei vol. 1-6
Wallflower vol. 22-23 (so close to the end)
Apollo's Song
To Terra vol. 1-3

Since the Dark Horse sale is ending tonight, I figured it was time to catch up with the missing volumes of Oh! My Goddess:

Oh My Goddess 14, 21-31, 33-35

Between those and my recent Viz manga orders, I won't have any shortage of reading material. Granted, all of the OMG are either pre-orders or 'On Order From Manufacturer', but I'm patient, sort of

haven't done it yet but am seriously contemplating starting a Dr. Slump collection.

I picked up several volumes from the last TRSI Viz manga sale. However, I quickly found out that volume nine is out of print, and commands a rather hefty price from other vendors ($40 and up). I'm still looking for an inexpensive copy, or holding out hope that Viz will do a Big edition of Slump.

i actually found a a number 9, im seriously debating taking the chance and going ahead with getting it. it was about 7 bucks i think. i ordered num,ber 1-4 for now. I agree the big edition ide though. they need to . They also really should get that anime over here.


I also picked up

Kare Kano 1-3 collection
and will prbably be ordering the first two Lucky Star mangas once volume 2 comes out.

Just got king of cards 7 and 8 zombie powder 2 as well and starting on o-parts hunter soon.

just recently bought

Sundome 1
Gunslinger Girl 1
Lucky Star 1 and 2
One Piece 1-3 omnibus
Afro Samurai 1 and 2

Although the series is incredible after vol 6 there aren't anymore printed (in English anyway). If Tokyopop or someone else has picked them up and will be printing them down the line i don't know, but it would be nice to see the series continue on.

I was curious about that. I might still get the rest of the set later anyway, but I'm also getting the anime. So I guess that makes up for it alittle.

Started on Shakugan no shana and Stray little devil as well thinking about starting on Hellsing, Zombie-loan, Fruits basket, and Chibi vampire too.
