NOTES

(1) Yuu Watase's work. She's come up with yet another way to keep lovebirds apart! It's amusing.

(2) The current shojo-manga smash hit. This title is bloody impossible to find in used shops!

(3) Current obsession.  o.o  Want more!!

(4) Looks like a pretty cool series, I'm just not in the mood for it right now. Mebbie later.

(5) Another current hit, this time for shonen-manga. I was bored and watched an anime ep. It made me want to read the manga again. The result: hooked. ^.^; ...though I like Kakashi better than Naruto...

(6) The OAV is awesome, the manga is heavily lesbian-overtoned fan-service. Drat.

(7) Another current obsession. It did the same thing Trigun did, switching publishing anthologies. Thus "Sai Yuu Ki" ends and picks up again in "Sai Yuu Ki Reload".

(8) The anime ROCKS. The manga SUCKS. How often does that happen?

(9) Another cool title by K. Minekura. Very, very slashy, and all on purpose. She's working on this one AND SYK Reload AND SYK Gaiden AND Bus Gamer SIMULTANEOUSLY!! o.O ...no wonder WA and BG tankubon only come out once a year.

(10) The beginning is cool. Then it starts getting really Weird. Kamui starts getting really wussy. Phooey.

(11) It was a present, that's the only reason I have it.

(12) In the middle of Kodocha, Sana and Naozumi go off to movie location shoot in the Middle of Nowhere Mountains. Well, "Mizu no Yakata" is that movie, and here it is all nice and written out in its own manga volume!

(13) The whole series is nothing but a bunch of short (hilarious) strips with no plot in common, so it's really difficult to tell if the thing's over or not. It's really old, and I've never seen a volume 9, so I guess 8 is all there is.

(14) The manga Hayao Miyazaki made into the movie Neko no Ongaishi: The Cat Returns!

(15) From the author of 3x3 Eyes comes a new, completely off the wall and in no way serious manga.  The first two volumes were written in '98 and '99.  Volume 3 finally hit stores in '02.

(16) Parallel story to CLAMP's latest Tsubasa; Reservoir Chronicles.  Occult amusement. ^_^

(17) I took a look at all the Shirow manga that I have, and every one of them is a first printing.  Either I am very lucky, or, considering just how BLOODY FREAKIN' IMPOSSIBLE it is to find them, there only ever is a first printing of any Shirow work.  I'm leaning towards the latter.
