What manga are you reading?

[Ponyfan]

What I usually do, is set a rough budget and try to stay within that each time I'm ready to buy more than one book.   Amazon sometimes has better prices than bookstores on manga.  Walmart and Target also sell a few popular series at slightly below retail price.


I read that "Malefic Black Crystal"  has been changed in the Sailor Moon Eternal editions to "Beguiling Black Crystal" during the Black Moon arc.

I only buy Japanese manga so I have to be very selective about which lines I buy. Right now it's only Yona I think...since Daiya has ended, and I don't see there being another actual volume of Saiyuuki in my lifetime considering that it's been about two chapters in five years or more *lol*.

In a way Saiyuuki needs to stay unfinished, though. It's so much about the guys on a journey that the finale almost seems secondary. At least to me.

I wish the publisher of Daiya would take a chance in the US and release physical copies of the books in English instead of just e books. I have a few of them on my e reader, but I don't want to get the entire series as e books.  I have no doubt that a manga focused on baseball would do well in the US if it was easier to access. I feel the same way about the anime too.  I can't find anything so far about Act II being published in English yet.   I can't read Japanese, so buying the books from Japan isn't a viable option for me.

I wanted to get Komi Can't Communicate 29 today, but Target and Walmart didn't have it in stock.  I know there wasn't a delay on the release date because I saw it in the bookstores.  Target has really cut down their manga section.

I picked up Yona 41 today along with a few other books.    Now I have 4 volumes of Yona to catch up on. 

I looked at The Apothecary Diaries but wasn't sure if it would be interesting to me.

I wanted to get the Horimiya 13 and 14 since I still need those, but the bookstore still had the same copies they had last time.

I also rearranged the manga on the bookshelf a little bit so it would be easier to get to the Yonas I need to read.  Hopefully I can catch up soon.

Taffeta I can imagine that would be a problem! 
There are a number of series that we have that we will never complete unless I buy the remaining Japanese editions because they were cancelled or not published in North America.  Also there were quite a few series that only got Digital Manga editions instead of actual printed ones at some point in the series.  So irritating!
