Current Mood: lethargic

Hate that my local Waldenbooks is closing, but loving the sales they've been having. Manga was 60% off, so of course I took advantage. ^_^

I bought:

Fushigi Yugi: Genbu Kaiden Vol. 9 (The right volume this time!)
Tsubasa: Those With Wings Vol. 3 (The last volume, so expect a review fairly soon)
xxxHolic Guide
Angel's Coffin (One-shot, so I'll be reviewing that as well)
Butterflies, Flowers Vol. 1 (Josei, so I had to get it.)
High School Debut Vols. 1, 3, 4, 12

Yeah, I really wish they had more volumes of High School Debut in stock. :( They didn't really have much of a selection left, unfortunately, or else I would have bought a lot more. Actually, I'm kinda kicking myself for not picking up the four volumes of Skip-Beat they had left. With Butterflies, Flowers and High School Debut both being new series for me and a new Yuu Watase series (Arata: The Legend, surprisingly a shonen title) coming out in either March or April -- can't remember off the top of my head -- I figured that was enough for new series, but I am planning to read Skip-Beat at one point, so I should have just grabbed those volumes for super-cheap while I had the chance. Oh, well. They were later volumes, anyway, so I probably would have been totally lost trying to read them now.

Current Mood: mellow

Hehe, sorry. >.< Don't mind me, I'm in manga heaven at the moment. We finally got a chance to go to the bookstore today, and I totally loaded up!

The loot?

Fruits Basket 23
NANA 15-17
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles 21-22
Tsubasa: Those With Wings 2
Short-Tempered Melancholic (short story anthology from the mangaka of Full Moon wo Sagashite)

And I was very tempted by the new omnibus edition of CLAMP's Clover, but it's one of their abandoned series, so I can't decide if I really want it or not. :( Besides, I had already spent more than I intended since I didn't originally plan to get Short-Tempered Melancholic, and I wasn't expecting the new Tsubasa: Those With Wings to be out until Tuesday. Oh, well.

Now that Fruits Basket is over, though, I have to decide which series I'll start collecting next. Hmm... I'm almost definitely going to get Death Note, but I have my eye on the manga boxset at Right Stuf and am just waiting for a sale on it before ordering it. I'm not sure what I'll start buying individually, though. There are quite a few contenders: Skip Beat!, Ouran High School Host Club, La Corda d'Oro, Nodame Cantabile, Sand Chronicles, V.B. Rose... I'm sure there are a few more titles I'm forgetting. *sigh* Such a tough decision; I want them all! *laughs*

Current Mood: ecstatic

Guys, I just went a little nuts at Amazon. >.< As if I'm not addicted enough to Sims 2, I decided I simply must have the rest of the Stuff Packs I needed to complete my set, like, yesterday, so I bought a $100 Visa giftcard at Wal-mart and ordered all four of them at once (Happy Holidays Stuff, Family Fun Stuff, Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff, and Glamour Life Stuff). *laughs* Now all I need is the Apartment Life expansion pack, but I'm not in any real rush to get that one since it's the newest and easy to find in stores. (I actually had to buy two of the Stuff packs from the Marketplace, since Amazon wasn't selling them anymore.) I also pre-ordered the first volume of Tsubasa: Those With Wings (from the mangaka of Fruits Basket) and picked up Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle Vol. 20, along with a paperback copy of Anna Karenina, which I've wanted to read ever since my sophomore year in high school, when I stupidly chose to read Wuthering Heights instead for Pre-AP English. (I needed something under seven dollars to max out the card, so I figured it was as good as time as ever to get around to it!)

Only bad thing about online shopping? The wait.

I want my Sims stuff now!

*pouts*

Current Mood: crazy

Why do I keep getting Kaleido Star plot bunnies when I'm still struggling with this multi-part I'm working on? So annoying. Hop away little plot bunnies; I don't need to be tempted to work on something else at the moment.

In other news, I found out that Tokyopop has licensed two of Takaya Natsuki's -- she's the mangaka of Fruits Basket -- previous works, Phantom Dream and Tsubasa: Those With Wings. I've actually known about the Phantom Dream licensing for a while now, and have been greatly looking forward to it, but I had no idea about Tsubasa: Those With Wings until yesterday. Yay! You know both of them are definitely going on my "to buy" list, especially since they're both so short. PD is five volumes, I believe, and T:TWW is technically six volumes, but Tokyopop is releasing it in three double-volume books.

Also, I found scanlations of the first two chapters of the new Someday's Dreamers manga series. I haven't properly read them yet, but from what I've scanned through, it looks pretty interesting. I've also been trying to follow the new anime on various blogs (since I don't have the ability to download fansubs on this old, slow-as-molasses computer). The animation style seems to be pretty polarizing among the people who've watched it: some love it, some (probably a majority) hate it. (For some examples of the style, check out this blog and this one.) Me? I think I probably need to see the actual show before forming a real opinion on the matter. You can't really tell how it all works as a whole by just looking a screenshots, you know? Nevertheless, I still hope it gets licensed someday!

Current Mood: excited

I had a touch of insomnia last night, so I decided to get up and inventory all my anime, manga, and related merchandise. This is the result.
