What is your next manga that you would like to purchase?

What is your next manga that you would like to purchase?

I have 4 volumes of the Battle Royal series left to buy, and I would also like to read Fake.

I have a long list of Year 24 Group authors I'm going to look for next time I'm at a Japanese bookstore.

Totally Captivated volume 4 (and the rest of the series) is my top wanted one. The ones I want most after that are Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle volume 22, B.O.D.Y. volume 3 and the rest of the series, Princess Princess Plus, Nabari No Ou, Black Knight volume 4 and Silver Diamond volume 4. There are others I want but those would be my top picks.

Arg, far too many. I have issues. The last one I added here would be クリムゾン・エンパイア ~Circumstances to serve a noble~ (1), which is based off an otome game. I'm a sucker for those manga adaptations.

I have not hear of many of these series. What is Totally Captivated?

It is a manhwa series involving the mafia, rather a dramatic comedy. Also, it is in the yaoi realm and I wouldn't suggest it unless you like that kind of thing.

Another manga I just discovered that I would really like to get my hands on is CyBelievers. Very cute!

Black Cat #20.
I have really enjoyed this series.

>6 Jenson_AKA_DL:
I have not read any yaoi yet but I though that I may read Fake some time. Maybe if I like it I'll try Totally Captivated after.

>7 davisfamily:
I have seen the first few episodes of Black Cat and I liked it, so I may read the manga later on. How many books are in the series? Is it finished being published?

I really enjoyed the Black Cat anime and have it on DVD. I've only read the manga series up through vol 13 or 14, I've lost track.

> 8
Black Cat is 20 volumes long, and all of them are now available in English from Viz. The manga differs from the anime in terms of pacing, and based on what I've seen of the anime the order of events is different as well. I greatly preferred the manga to the anime.

As far as the next manga I want to purchase goes...I'd have to say the next volumes of the series I'm actively collecting, all of which are coming out somewhat slower than I would like. I'm most looking forward to the next volumes of I Hate You More Than Anyone and V.B. Rose, and I would love for more of Banri Hidaka's series to be picked up for English translation.

>9 Jenson_AKA_DL:&10
thanks for the black cat info
I just check at my library for black cat and they only have volumes 1 to 3, so I don't think that I'll be reading it any time soon :(

I want Inuyasha #56 next - then I'll have the manga complete :)

InuYasha has 56 volumes!? that's a lot

Well, it is indeed the longest manga-series I own XD I don't know about the Inuyasha ani-manga though, I have a hard time finding those. I think they're somewhere in the 30s with translating Inuyasha into English? (I don't know, I don't keep track of that). So then it'll still be a while before it has finished in English as well.

I would really like to purchase Saiyuki next. The Art is great, and I already love Wild Adapter from the same mangaka.

>15 zierli:

I should read Saiyuki sometime too. I bought books 1, 2, and 4 for $0.99 each. :D

I read through the entire series of After School Nightmare at the library and when I finally get paid, that's the first series I'm buying.

I've seen the anime Saiyuki and would love to own the manga as well. The anime was absolutely hilarious.

Another manga I own part of and would like to finish is Lovelss. It's a shame the series as a whole isn't finished...

And of course, for the guilty, kid side of me, I must continue my Naruto obsession :P

That's a few of the manga I hope to purchase in the next couple of weeks.

>17 RebeccaAnn:
I have After School Nightmare at my library as well. A friend of my read it but thought that it wasn't any good, so I've never picked it up. If you really liked it, maybe I'll consider reading it.

There is nothing wrong with liking Naruto. I really enjoyed the anime, but I haven't finished it. I should probably get back into watching it.

After School Nightmare is just out here (Germany/Austria) and I love it so far, I've read until Volume 4. It's mystery, a little BL but not really, you get at the first volume, a little scary, and just a nice Love-story so far.
If you have it in your library, you should just pick it up! After the first volume you will get hooked, I promise.

topic: I already ordered Saiyuki!

I have almost the complete set of After School Nightmare. It was one of the first manga series I tried. It is very interesting, I enjoyed it.

>19 zierli: & 20
never mind, it seems that I got ASN mixed up with another series. I just checked and my library does not have the series, but if they ever get it, I'll check it out.

If you like mystery and ghosts, I'd recommend Ghost Hunt. It's also an anime (I have not watched it yet).

The new volume of Silver Diamond (18) is out in a few days. :)

>18 novelandmangacrazy:
Do you know how many volumes will be in the series?

>23 novelandmangacrazy:
Silver Diamond should end in the early 20's, judging from the pacing of the story. I don't think there's an official announcement yet, but you can make a good guess and I vaguely remember them saying about 20ish volumes before.

Ah, that will be a sad day.. been reading that series since chapter 1, day 1 and it was a favorite back then even. I guess I can look forward to her next work though.

>24 shinkeikaku:
I don't particularly like waiting for the next volume to come out, so I try to read series that have already been entirely published. As to the length (20 ish books) I don't really mind the number, but my library does not carry the series and I don't think that my wallet likes it too much.

shinkeikaku
wow 18 volumes already, here volume 12 just came out (Germany/Austria). I still love it, and I'm already waiting for the next volume (every 3 month).
I wish I would live in Japan, or better though, I wish I could read and speak japanese..*g*

>26 zierli:
I find that a lot of people who are manga/anime lovers want to learn Japanese.

It's a series that I just started reading called Jihai. It's really good. I got interupted while in the midst of reading the second volume so yeah, I really want to buy that one.

>28 tearsXsolitude:
is Jihai in English or Japanese?
what is it about?

English. I can't read Japanese, but I wanna learn how. anywho, it's about:

When his childhood friend is murdered, 17-year-old clone-slave Aoi spends his last year to live looking for the killer! As he searches for revenge, Aoi uses his ability to travel through the magnetic sea (wasteland), where sabsolutely nothing can survive, to act as a courier. After a routine delivery goes wrong, a pistol-packing padre named Tristram saves Aoi, but Tristram's buddy Dis accidentally runs him over!

Tristram and Dis take Aoi back to their home country - a place where clones are treated like people, not possessions - to heal his ankle. But Aoi quickly realizes something is amiss in this new land. What are Tristram and Dis hiding, and will they be allies in Aoi's cause... or a threat?

It's really good. You should check it out!

>30 tearsXsolitude:
Sounds kinda complicated, lol. How many volumes are there? Is the series completely published?

sadly there's only three. yes, on the sight i read it is complete. i hope it's not like wolf's rain and really disappointing!

>32 tearsXsolitude:
what site do you use?

to read manga?

well, there's mangafox and onemanga. those are really the only 2 I use.

>34 tearsXsolitude:
I've read stuff on onemanga before, but I have never heard of mangafox. Which one do you like better?

mangafox has WAY more manga and it's just as quick and you can zoom in, but the atmospere that onemanga gives off bettrer

I'm thinking that I might take a run up to Borders since I have two 30% off coupons to use and pick up B.O.D.Y. volume 4, Black Bird volume 1 or maybe something else if it looks interesting. Most of what I really want they don't carry in stock.

I like mangafox better as well, but I just can read a few chapters, mostly new ones, that didn't come out already in english or german.

topic: I'm thinking about getting a new manga-series.. Reborn I just started the anime, of course they are a lot of fillers, but still I think it is adorable, Tsuna and L-Pin...so cute.

Jenson_AKA_DL
Black Bird does look interesting as well!

>36 tearsXsolitude: & 38
I'll have to check out mangafox then. Maybe after my midterms. Have to study :(

>37 Jenson_AKA_DL:
Do you have a Borders card? I do and I'm always getting coupons by e-mail. If you don't just let me know and I can e-mail some to you.

I went to an anime convention recently and I was planning on spending a lot of money on books since last year they were selling them for only $5CND (regular $10 to $15 + tax), except this year they were selling them at full price, so I did not buy any :(
I did however, buy Gundam Wing Part 2 DVD, posters, and lots of pocky.

I do have a Borders card or I probably wouldn't shop there :-) I can't bring myself to pay full price for manga...its just too expensive!

I had Black Bird volume 1 in my hand but put it back so I could get my son The Legend of Zelda The Four Swords Part 1. I absolutely plan on getting Black Bird soon, but I had to pick upVassalord volume 3 when I saw it because I've been wanting for a while.

I was also VERY tempted by the new YA novel Hush, Hush, it looks so good.

>40 Jenson_AKA_DL:

I've never heard of it. What is it about?

>41 novelandmangacrazy: Hush, Hush is a paranormal story about a fallen angel. The cover is quite awsome looking and the story sounds really good. It has gotten some pretty good reviews on here as well.

Today I ordered Black Bird Volume 1 and volume 2 with a gift cert a friend gave to me for doing a favor. I can't wait to get them!

>41 novelandmangacrazy:
I've seen Hush, Hush a few time in different stores. It seems interesting.

I ordered some books Monday afternoon and they arrived this morning. Yay! Though the main reason I placed an order is because my mom want's a book for Christmas (Inside the kingdom) and the only store that had it was half way across the city. Oh well, I ordered enough to get free shipping. So I got Candle in the storm, which is a book I really wanted, and I also got a few titles because they were inexpensive and all I wanted to do was get to $39 (to get free shipping). So I got Off the record and Summer Intern because hey were $2 each and one is a hard cover. I also got a kids activity book (Princess and the frog) to give to a Christmas charity.

I want to get Fullmetal Alchemist volumes 20 & 21, Goong volumes 5-7, Spiral: The Bonds of Reasoning volume 9, B.O.D.Y. volume 7, Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE volume 24, xxxHOLiC volume 14, King of Cards volume 8, I HATE YOU more than anyone! volume 8, Papillon volume 4, switch volume 11, and Pluto volume 6.

Something by Kaori Yuki, probably Godchild
Otherwise something that I will buy for shock value more than anything else like, Let's Be Perverts.

I want to get Otomen Vol. 6, Sand Chronicles Vol. 8, Kimi ni Todoke Vol. 4, Hikaru no Go Vol. 19, B.O.D.Y. Vol. 9, Kaze Hikaru Vol. 17, We Were There Vol. 10, Black Bird Vol. 4, Naoki Urasawa's 20th Century Boys Vol. 8, V.B. Rose Vol. 8, Kyo Kara Maoh! Vol. 6, Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE- Vol. 26, Name of the Flower Vol. 4

I guess the only manga I want at the moment is Mixed Vegetables volume 7, which I'll probably just ask for for my birthday

okay, there was a manga that I was thinking about getting, but, before I get it, I have to know if it's yaoi or bl or whatever.

Otodama:Voice from the dead

I read the back but couldn't figure it out for sure, and I don't want to risk it :)

I just started buying the Black Jack series by Osamu Tezuka, pretty good read so far.

>48 sweetandsyko:
Otodama: Voice from the Dead is not BL. It is true it is by Youka Nitta and she is known for her explicit BL titles but this one is not BL for sure. Well, it is not categorized as such for now but who knows. Maybe it will go in that direction eventually. It is mystery.

>50 HatsumiShinogu:

okay, thank you! I think for now I won't risk it, but when I can find out for definite if it will lead to that or not, I will choose then :)

>51 sweetandsyko:
If you want to see what it's like before buying it you can read some online to see if you like it.

so, I now have to get the rest of
Devil Does Exist and
Me and my brothers

I totally love them! but my bookstore doesn't carry devil does exist, which means to get it requires ordering it online

I would like to get Bloody Kiss volumes 1 & 2, and Black Bird volume 5.

>54 cdowney086:
I just discovered that my library has Bloody Kiss. It's now on my tbr pile :)

I recently ordered Model vols 2-7

Next on my list:

Rasetsu no Hana 6
Butterflies, Flowers 4
Arata Kangatari 3
With the Light: Raising an Autistic Child 7
Kobato. 3
Usagi Drop 2
Itazura na Kiss 3
Sand Chronicles 9
Alice in the Country of Hearts 4
Kyo Kara Maoh! 7

I'm thinking about buying House of five leaves because the anime was so great.
Also on my wishlist:
Natsume's book of friends
Guin Saga (lightnovel)

I'm completing volumes for Phantom Dream by Natsuki Takaya right now. It's 6 volumes long and I am on the second volume yet.

I'll be starting Absolute Boyfriend by Yuu Watase next.

for the past year or two, I have been meaning to start reading crimson hero, although my store doesn't carry it so I can't buy it from there >_

>59 sweetandsyko:

I read a few chapters of it when it was serialized in Shojo Beat but stopped after the magazine ceased publication. I am still considering getting the tankoubons but not sure as I don't have enough room for another long series. I love sports anime and manga, though.

If I had money I'd buy lots of volumes of Baby and Me because I've read all that's available at the library and online. My birthday's coming up though!

>61 carma91:

I love Baby and Me! I wish more works by Marimo Ragawa will be licensed.

I've been thinking about this in a "what do I want for Christmas?" context. The ones that have made it on my list are Ghost Hunt 11, Rasetsu vols 5, 6 & 7 and The Wallflower upcoming compendium which I guess is to include three volumes in one of the new release.

After those I'm interested in updating my Tsubasa series through the end. I can't remember off hand where I left off. It has been ages since I've had any extra money to even think about purchasing manga.

I want to start on Inu Yasha series and cardcaptors, I would love to buy Sailor Moon but they are all so expensive for second hand copies.
I want to finish Red River

>63 Jenson_AKA_DL:
I love Ghost Hunt. We're watching it next week in my anime club, for halloween.

DOLL vol 3-6
Pet Shop of Horrors: Tokyo vol 7, 8
xxholic vol 1-3

>66 bookwormelf:
Ok, I read Doll volume 1 and it's just a bunch of individual stories, and a bit weird. What is the rest of the series like?

I've read only volume 1 and 2. so far it's the same - individual stories with same overall theme; weird and kinda creepy xD I love it
