Whatever.



In a rather interesting (and very welcomed) change of pace, I'm reading the Emma: A Victorian Romance manga, having finally found the entire 52 chapters translated through a friend of mine. :D

Read chapter 57 of Tsukihime yesterday. Adorable Arcueid is adorable.

And started Shoujo Sect today, since I've heard so much about it.

I wish Anon out there would make a pack with all released chapters so far. I'm told the manga's quite awesome, and somewhat follows Akiha's route, which is all the more appealing.

It's nice. A bit convoluted at times, due to the sheer amounts of characters that show up and the insane amounts of relationship backs and forths, but passably nice.

[tornado fang], what was the name of that manga... it was previewed in Shonen jump, it was about this short kid and his partner and they solved cases of supernatural phenomenon, and judged the spirits responsible? i cant remember it now...

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

Except it doesn't. The Manga follows Arcueid's route. She's the main girl in this story. The manga however adds some plot elements from Ciel and Akiha's routes to the story, thus giving the characters more depth. But you never ever get the idea that some of the other girls had more impact on the story than Arcueid.

As for chapter downloads, why don't you just BUY it? The first 6 volumes of the manga, chapters 1 through 50, are available in English. It's worth every freaking cent.

Still needs more vampire Satsuki and revenge-driven Kohaku. Throw in both Shiki and Akiha with Roa stuck inside of their heads for good measure.

I was never expecting that, little obsessed Arcueid fanboy; contrary to what you think, I may not like the couple, but I don't diss it either. I KNOW Shiki is canonically paired with Arcueid, and thus any canonical story path taken MUST end with one of her outcomes; I merely implied that the Near Side of the Moon routes, and especially Akiha's, were given more involvement and depth in the manga run.

Read above.

Maybe so, but when importing a few manga books costs you almost the same kind of cash you could buy a new computer here (which are absurdly expensive due to speculation and manipulation of the country economy), it kinda runs off your budget. To be able to get ONE volume imported here, I'd have to pay (in local cash) the equivalent of about three or four volumes bought internationally in any country with a first- or second-world class economic solvency.

This. For the love of Akasha this. I mean, seriously, isn't it sad, Sacchin?

Finally finished the manga version of Emma: A Victorian Romance. I was VERY surprised to notice that very early in the story, the situations were changed in the animated version from the original manga print, but either way, both versions of the story go together as beautifully and deliciously as milk and Oreos. It's just THAT good.


Highly recommended read for historical junkies (unlike me; this was a rather surprising read, considering the 1800's England setting). 10/10.

I'm reading Sket Dance. One of the few comics that could makes me laugh uncontrollably.  8)

If you like a slice of life comedy with some random out of this world event, satisfaction guaranteed.

Ok, finally finished reading the Shaman King chapters I had skipped. It really is superior to the anime by far, and I really loved the anime. Now time to read another manga of my list.

Also, Neuro ended this week and Bokke-san is getting canceled the next?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  ;O;

That even a real manga, or an online one, like Megatokyo?

Workshop/DA/YT/Photobucket なにかんがえてるの!?
So its about ass now huh? EVEN THE ASS HAS 'EXCEEDED'!

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.

You hadn't read RuroKen yet? Jesus, and I thought you, as a good fellow latino, were educated in classic manga and anime...
