[liviliv]

Alright, so I thought I'd start keeping track of my manga collection!

And WOW...That was a lot of counting and organizing!!!!! But I finally got a list.

XD You have the same habit of buying lots of packs of playing cards too. >_>

It didn't really seem to me that you were really interested in shounen manga, but I really enjoy Saiyuki and Wild Adapter and basically anything by Kazuya Minekura. XD She's brilliant.

[liviliv]

Yes! Someone else who shares my insane love of collecting anime playing cards! :)

Oh! I loved Saiyuki! I used to have the volumes, but I ended up losing them when I moved (I swear, they're probably still in some random unpacked box in the basement, but I just don't have the will to search through that ungodly mess!) And Wild Adapter sounds interesting, so I'll have to check that out!

Thank you so much for the recommendations!

[il_mare_luccica]

XD Guilty as charged. I have about four to five packs of playing cards and maybe seven sets of Tarot cards. >___>

Saiyuki was the one that got me into anime and manga in the first place, so it has a dear place in my heart. XD I love Wild Adapter like crazy, though. The dialogue is so well done. *A* But it's really hard to find it in Canada. ;__;

Wow. That is ALOT. I barely have enough money to buy manga since it's quite expensive in where I live. XD

Otomen is a cool series. x3 I love every page of it. >:D

[liviliv]

haha. Let's just say that I'm almost always broke nowadays because of it! XD

And Otomen is amazing. It's just so cute!

Wheeeee Long comment...

\'o'/ That's... a lot of manga XDD

I need to get myself a proper bookshelf and sort my own manga once I can actually move it.... I wonder how much I have....

Shojo beat magazine is being discontinued? \o/ /is slow
Yen Plus! X3

Playing cardsssssss~ It's kind of hard to find some anime ones here...

Also, for manga recommendations, will you take ones that are not licensed? C;

Of course! Mangafox is permanently bookmarked in internet explorer! XD

Ohhhhhhh playing cards! I usually get them from ebay from singapore or japan. In fact, I get a lot of my anime stuff from ebay...but what can I say, ebay is like heaven on earth!

Hahahaha~ Then I highly recommend Kimi to Boku by Hotta kiichi! It's adorable and cute and lighthearted and hilarious all at the same time! X33

Ahhhh I wish I could buy stuff online ;o

[liviliv]

Yay! I need some adorable, lighthearted, cuteness!

[liviliv]

I know! I was so upset! I had just gotten my first magazine from my subscription and then the site said, "sorry, no more." I nearly had a heart attack!

Oh yes! I think I remember you recommending Rurouni when I commented on your icon. I really want to read it!

[rainsmercy]

W-WHERE DO YOU GET THE MONEY FOR ALL THIS STUFF?
Want... Want...

[liviliv]

My greatest secret is that I buy a lot of my volumes used. As long as you're careful to make sure the books condition is good and that it isn't a former library book, you can get a great deal! In fact, I bought pretty much every single one of my yaoi mangas for 2 or 3 dollars each and they look as good as new! I think the lowest I've ever paid for any almost-like-new used volume is $0.86.

I'd suggest checking out border's used market place, betterworld.com (shipping is free, GREAT selection, and the money you spend on books goes towards promoting literacy. Just be sure to double check the book's condition!), thriftbooks.com, or any half price books store (plus you can sell them your old books for cash).

[rainsmercy]

Thanks! o: I have a lot of books from when I was young that I should sell...
I whole bookrack of them.

e__o I sure did... Read a lot...

[liviliv]

haha! I know what you mean...When I finally ended up cleaning out my bookshelves a few years ago, I filled 5 crates with old books from when I was little!
