>I have to blame you guys for this one

>>33825638
clever girl...

This is the last thing I have an image for, But I got Future Diary 5 yesterday.

>>33825711
I saw Future Diary at a Borders downtown the other day. Worth it? I'm split between sinking money into that, or getting the first volume of Eden, or the second volume of 20th Century Boys.

last thing i bought was dorohedoro volume one.

Wait? Really? 99 bucks? I should sell my Blame volumes then.

>What was the last thing you guys bought?

Quant. Item Description Amount
------ -------------------- ---------------------------------------- ----------
1 SFHS200 Hidamari Sketch x 365 DVD Complete Colle $ 23.99
1 FUN09624 Baccano! DVD 4 (Hyb) 7.99
1 RSDVD1011 Aria The Origination (Season 3) + Ariett 30.37
-------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
Item Total: $ 62.35

I've seen all these except for Aria season 3. I have money to burn, so I figure I might as well support the industry with it.

>>33825821
they aren't really "worth" that much. that's just what one person put down for a price.

>>33825765
Well Future Diary is better known as Mirai Nikki on /a/ and well for the better part everyone loves it. Tokyopop actually has better quality everything including translation not to mention at the end of each volume we get a little mini-chapter about how each of them got their diaries.

>>33825592
I fail to understand why this makes you special. I bought the whole series.
And Noise.
And Biomega. In three languages.

>>33825894
Who the fuck said anything about being special?

>>33825894
Where exactly did the OP claim to be special? Stop being a douchebag.

>>33825894
nothing special, it just feels good to purchase something sometimes.

>>33825870
I have to say, I'm really digging tokyopop's handling of some of Blame!'s translations. the scan I have is a bit awkward at places and reads left to right.

>>33825982
you can pretty much feel the mangaka's architecture degree.

>>33825982
Tokyopop is vastly improving now, They have high quality paper again and not that flimsy bullshit they were selling to customers for a few months. Also they decided to release the final 4 Karin novels and they may release the side story manga volume.

>>33825592
OP, what the heck is up with your monitor on the left?

>>33826074
Not OP, But that is an IPS monitor

>>33826074
I have it set to portrait mode.

makes reading manga soooo much better.

>>33826037
I agree, I find his backgrounds and cityscapes amazingly beautiful and I am glad Nihei Tsutomu went to architecture school

>>33826107
Who actually prints color pages? The only manga I have that has color pages and even then its like 1 page are Tsukihime and I think Sundome has 1 page before the contents page.

>>33826160
i actually enjoy the mannequins quite a bit.

>>33826107
no kidding, I bought Solanin by vizsig a few months ago and it was totally worth it. they're handling 20th century boys and monster and I was really close to buying Uzumaki the other day.

>>33826179
vizsig

>>33826230
Vertical also has ridiculously nice volumes, especially Black Jack.

>>33826272
website?

lets see i go my case closed box sets seasons 1-5 on dvd, disgaea vol 1-3 and my nodoka plus as well

One of the best volumes I have ever bought was done by Seven Seas oddly enough and their Blood Alone ones. No cheap jackets here.

>>33826230
if i wasn't a wargamer i'd probably buy a lot of this stuff.

>>33826327
what's that?

>>33826316
I'm torn between Seven Seas. They do Vampire Bund but they also raised my hoped that Zero no Tsukaima was going to be localized only to toss that aside.

Imagine if Kubo drew backgrounds like these.

>>33826316
What's Blood Alone on about?

>>33826414
someone that plays toy soldiers.

>>33826477
kubo has to draw a weekly series and think of ways of milking the series for years. if you gave me that work load i'd probably just give you stick figures.

>>33826539
Bleach is weekly? nowai.

>>33826477
It's another loli vampire series.
The mangaka used to do loli doujins before he went legit.
The stories and artwork are good, but not to everyone's taste.
I didn't expect expect to like it, but it was better than I thought.

>>33826618
srsly

>>33826659
one of those manga you purchase in a brown paper bag like Bund?

(I don't actually know if people do that)

>>33825592
I've been contemplating buy a second wide-screen monitor for this exact purpose. It is so on.

>>33826672
>>33826689
what the heck is that?

Picked up Korosagi Corpse Delivery Service 7, Monster 6, and Gantz 9 a few days ago. Thanks for those back covers Oku. Really helps with those awkward stares.

>>33826701
Probably.
It's a shame too, as the stories are far more DAAAAWWWW inspiring than the mangaka's background would let you believe.

>>33826733
Sabrina, another series by nihei... but i accidentally started dumping the russian translation.

>>33826726
Make sure it's a 16:10 ratio monitor like 1680x1050 or 1920x1200, and NOT a 16:9 ratio like 1600x900 or 1920x1080.

>>33826794
Not to mention all the HNNNNNG.

Yeah Blame is awesome.
I didn't buy it, but it seems like it's impossible to find it.
Last thing I bought was Berserk volume 33.

>>33826179
Vizsig does it, and Yen Press does it a lot. Each volume of Higurashi so far has 3-5 color pages in the beginning, and the first had the full color USO DA spread.

>>33826912
Yen press printed a Yotsuba fireworks scene in color, and they have my loyalty for that.

>>33826862
that's one of the reasons I felt like starting a thread, it felt like a small accomplishment.

>>33826994
when i eventually do shell out $80 for volume 4, i'm going to make up a story much like yours about how i got it.

What the hell is Killy anyway? the things he's run into so far refer to him as a regular human, but pic related, seems a little superhuman to me.

>>33827082
he's a synthetic human that is a safeguard prototype.

>>33827122
crap, that sounded like a spoiler.

shit. you haven't finished the series?

>>33827244
haha nope. only read through half of the first volume. I literally just started it when that trolltastic thread popped a little bit ago.

>>33827315
ah... well there's a prequel called Noise, and then 2 sequels, Blame!2 and Net Sphere Engineer.

No official word if Abara or Biomega are in the same universe.

Last two things I ordered were the Higurashi first season, released a few days ago, and Baccano! season

>>33827394
I saw a bunch of Biomega at the Barnes & Noble, but Blame was a bitch to find. Weren't they published in the same year?

how can you let this awesomeness go out of print?

this looks like it tastes disgusting.

>>33827455
where'd you order from?

I wish I knew more about what this chick is all about.

>>33827482
Biomega is recently being published in the states. it was made after blame.

>>33825711
This guy has good taste.

>>33827569
I see

I get some serious Matrix vibes from some of the panels in this manga.
