That may be true, but on the other hand you clearly surpass me when it comes to anime viewing

I finished "Eternal Sabbath" some days ago and honestly don't know what to read next. I doubt I'll have enough time to do some major reading in the near future anyway.

Ayumi · 01-05-2010, 07:15 PM

Monster Volume 4 and I was going to start Bizenghast as I have the first volume, but I didn't start it yet.

Shikamaru · 01-12-2010, 07:00 PM

I just read xxx+holic and Tsubasa by Clamp. I enjoyed them both very very much.

Ayumi · 01-19-2010, 08:25 PM

I read volume 2 of Berserk
Volume 3 of Nodame Cantabile
Volume 11 of Fairy Tail
and volume 2 of FLCL so far today, not sure what I will start next.
I decided I need to read some manga instead of watch anime.

Ayumi · 01-27-2010, 12:37 PM

Finished volume 4 of Nodame- on to volume 5!

Shikamaru · 01-31-2010, 07:22 PM

I've got vol. 1 of Waq Waq. It looked good from the cover story. I'll report after reading.

Ayumi · 01-31-2010, 10:20 PM

Finished volume 5 of Monster, and volume one of Kimi ni Todoke.

Shikamaru · 02-01-2010, 07:57 PM

Waq Waq was really good. It started a bit slow for me but I got into it as I went along. Visually it was dificult to pick up on things but, I figure the more I read the more I'll pick up.

Ayumi · 02-05-2010, 09:04 PM

That's good then!

Read another volume of Crimson Grave
And I just finished volume 2 of Kimi ni Todoke. The manga is really great, just like the anime.

Ayumi · 03-15-2010, 05:06 PM

Black Bird, More Kimi ni Todoke, Vampire Knight's newest chapter , but the one that has me hooked is

20th_Century_Boys

. It is addicting and I can't wait to see what is happening next.

Ayumi · 03-25-2010, 06:01 PM

Up too volume 13 of 20th Century Boys, Volume 9 of Kimi ni Todoke, Volume 8 Of Nodame. (and more but that was enough)

Shikamaru · 03-25-2010, 06:42 PM

Whew girl, you're a manga reading buzz saw!!!!

Ayumi · 03-25-2010, 10:32 PM

Oh hardly. I am a small fry compared to those on other forums. especially compared to Kamiyama.

Shikamaru · 03-29-2010, 08:00 PM

But still you both smoke me.

Ayumi · 03-29-2010, 08:14 PM

I never used to read any manga at all ,but then I started slowly, and now I have much more appreciation of it.

Eiji on an Island · 03-31-2010, 10:14 PM

Bleach

High School of the Dead

AND some of the vampire hunter D novels.

Shikamaru · 04-03-2010, 07:29 PM

I just got my first subscription issue of Shonen Jump. So one of the first manga I read was by the writers of DeathNote. It's called Bakuman and it's about two guys trying to be famous manga artest/writers.
It was pretty good and it was a true to life take on how to get your manga's published.

Ayumi · 04-11-2010, 04:16 PM

I have heard it is a good read.

I am on the last volume of 20th Century boys and I am kind of stalling it out because I don't want it to be over! only 6 more chapters and I am done.

I think I will then move on and read more Nodame and start a series Kamiyama recommended to me, Shin Angyo Onshi.

Ayumi · 04-15-2010, 05:25 PM

Read both volumes of 21st Century Boys, chapter 43 of Kimi ni Todoke, Chapters 100-103 of Fairy Tail,
A one shot called Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan which is a very serious yet rewarding look at life and death, and chapter 35, 36 of Dance in the Vampire Bund.
Oh and chapters 9 & 10 of Gokinjo Monogatari

oh I forgot- volumes 3&4 of Berserk

Shikamaru · 04-15-2010, 09:00 PM

I've read the first chapter of 20th Century Boys. It was funny.

Ayumi · 04-16-2010, 06:03 PM

I hope you enjoy it!

Eiji on an Island · 04-24-2010, 01:08 AM

Need to put in a subscription for Megami Magazine

Been reading technical manuals =(

Ayumi · 04-24-2010, 10:11 PM

Now you know I just had to go and look it up

Read volume 11 of Nodame and finished volume 3 of Gokinjo Monogatari.

Malandris · 04-28-2010, 08:11 AM

I need to buy the rest of xxxholic ;(

Ayumi · 04-28-2010, 05:26 PM

You need to buy it for me too

Shikamaru · 04-30-2010, 01:31 PM

I've got the first three of those but, I haven't bought any Manga in a while.

Are you up to date?

Ayumi · 04-30-2010, 04:00 PM

No, which is why Malandris needs to gift them to me!

Just finished chapter 44 of Kimi ni Todoke and chapter 11 of Otoyomegatari.

Ayumi · 05-05-2010, 08:04 PM

Shin Angyo Onshi volumes 1&2
Vampire Knight c60
Claymore v11-13

Shikamaru · 05-06-2010, 08:32 PM

I'll get to read some of Claymore finally. It's in my Shonin Jump. O I'm looking forward to it.

Ayumi · 05-07-2010, 02:25 PM

Claymore is super popular . The anime only follows it up to like volume 10 or 11. Still the anime is good, until the rushed ending.

Started Nodame Vol. 13 last night.

Malandris · 05-08-2010, 02:11 PM

WTB my boss paying back my 2k so i can buy crap

Shikamaru · 05-10-2010, 06:07 PM

I read the first part of Taboo-Tattoo. It was pretty good. The art work is excellent. I'm still reserving judgement on the story.

Ayumi · 05-19-2010, 01:58 PM

I just started a manga that I have heard about for years, and all I can say is the first chapter hooked me right in. Very awesome. and i was talking about it with a friend and i said "you know, it really reminds me of Kill Bill for some reason even though the time frame and story (so far) is quite different"

So I look it up and what do you know, Tarantino based the story on it, but filled it of course with massive references to other stuff including spaghetti westerns etc.

I am guessing that I actually knew that fact at one time maybe from news reporting or something though and forgot about it. But trust me this manga is great. Read Lady Snowblood if you have a chance.

I know that Kamiyama also recommended it to me so I bet she will be happy I have gotten around to it.

Shikamaru · 05-20-2010, 07:23 PM

Thanks for the recommend there Ayumi!

Shikamaru · 08-29-2010, 05:34 PM

I read a little piece of a Manga called Genkaku Picasso. I thought it was pretty good.
It's about a high school aged guy who's an artest and loner but, has this one girl who befriends him. Well they die in this freak accident but, she asks that he be allowed to come back if he can use his art to change lives.
