Anybody know the cure?
Seriously, this sudden manga bug I've been bitten by needs to stop. In just the past couple of weeks, I think I've spent about $150 just on manga, which is so not like me. I'm a notorious tightwad, but...manga!
*glomps stack of new manga*
But, yeah, I bought some more manga today: Vol. 4 and 5 of Tsubasa and the first two volumes of NANA. -_-; I probably would have bought more of NANA, actually, but Waldenbooks didn't have the third volume in stock, so I decided to stick with just the first two for now. (Probably for the best.) At least I managed to stop myself from picking up the first three volumes of Card Captor Sakura they had, although they were very tempting. I already have enough series to finish collecting: NANA, Tsubasa, Fruits Basket, Absolute Boyfriend, and Someday's Dreamers: Spellbound.
Gah!
*hides $50 B&N gift card so I'm not tempted to order more*
In other news, Mom totally ruined her Mother's Day present. I bought said gift card so that I could order the Indiana Jones boxset she's been wanting online as a surprise, but the moment she saw it, she knew exactly what I was going to buy with it. *sigh* Since she already knew what I wanted to buy, I ended up just buying the set from Best Buy, which is why I still have the gift card.
Man, it's tempting me...
No! No more manga for at least a month, Yume!
Eh, it'll probably be gone by the end of next weekend.
I'm too weak.

Don't start spending money like I do, Yumeko! You'll turn into a manga addict or something.
How is NANA, anyway? I usually stay away from the Shoujo Beat titles, but that one's their flagship.

So far, NANA is pretty good. ^_^ It's by the same mangaka behind Paradise Kiss, so the artwork kind of bugs me -- sorry, Ai Yazawa fans, but I like female characters to look like women a la Yuu Watase rather than stick figures -- but if you don't mind that, the characters are quite interesting, the jokes funny, and, if it's anything like Paradise Kiss (and from the spoilers I've read, it certainly sounds like it), it won't be the typical happy miracle romance shoujo manga. But I've only read the first two volumes, so I don't know if that's enough to recommend it yet.
