God, I wish any of those were my fault. *pouts*

\o/

I did want to know! Also, I just recently bought the first volume of Mushishi too. :O

How did you fit all those books into your luggage?

The ones that might be laid in part at my door I am TERRIBLY SMUG about. And the other ones which I have not yet read or did not think to recommend look fabulous too! :D :D :D

sjdsdsdh illustrated Tempest

*yearns*

By bringing a very big suitcase, and clothes that fold up teeny-tiny. And showering tips on all the poor hotel/taxi people that had to lift it on the way back. D:

I cunningly bought the first volumes of a couple of manga that I know I can 'acquire' the anime of without too much difficulty; I just feel like I will know better and sooner whether I will like a series via the manga. Holding it in your hands > computer screen.

Um, except for Monster, which was so good that I had to keep going back to Kinokuniya for 'just one or two more volumes', until I just went OH FUCK IT and bought all the volumes they had in stock. That, and it is so noir, watching it with colour would just be weird.

It is sooo pretty.

Also, Fahye, you need to read Monster, like, yesterday. It is all about sociopathic young serial killers and the brilliant neurosurgeons that have to stop them!

...that looks AWESOME. I hate you. I will now spend long afternoons in Kinokuniya weeping and stroking the spines of the volumes.

*cough cough cough*

*cough cough*

:O

*hands you Strepsils*

*and her firstborn*

MADELEINE L'ENGLE AND KAGE BAKER. :D

AGREED.
