Re: Official Manga Thread
I picked up this randomly at Half Price Books for $8. Pretty freaking amazing collection of scans from the paper theatre days in Japan. Manga before it was manga. The dust cover unfolds into a giant Golden Bat poster. Its magnificent.

Re: Official Manga Thread
If shipping wasn't so expensive I'd send you a box of extras Moog! While I collect just about everything; obscure, classic, and OOP titles are my favorite. Always enjoy your recommendations.

Re: Official Manga Thread
I finally picked this up. I'm really glad I did. Also, the 3rd version of Taiyo Matsumoto's Sunny come out. I've just started it, but it seems as good as the others.

Favorite arcs are way after the first 5 volumes (Thriller Bark and Ennie's Lobby)

Re: Official Manga Thread
Got this lot in the mail today. With as many unread books as I have, I still can't pass up a good deal.

I got a little burnt out on it recently, I just don't think it's as good as it used to be. I started watching HunterxHunter and the new Jojo's Bizarre adventure series (both great manga) and am enjoying them much more right now. My favourite arcs for one piece are Alabasta & Enies Lobby.

I think if i had to choose one manga series above all others it would be Lone Wolf & Cub. GoldenArmKid wrote: I've read quite a lot of vagabond which is quite good but I can imagine lone wolf is a much more brutal take on the samurai genre Its funny, but i'd say Vagabond is way more 'brutal' than Lone Wolf. Of course LW&C has excessive violence drawn by a master of his craft but it is also beautifully lyrical & poetic. There are plenty of quiet moments and touching scenes between father and son. It has a depth and clarity that very few 'samurai' stories can match. It also teaches a great deal about Japanese history, nature and the way of Bushido. Thinking about it . . . its high-time i read it again!

I'm currently reading Attack on Titan, but it's slow and boring to read since I watched the show first. Re-reading what I've already seen is just a drag. Loved the show and the story / concept. I just need to surpass the story that's already covered in season 1. Next on my list is to finish Gantz, which I'm a huge fan of but stopped reading a year or so ago. Now that it's finally ended I'd like to get some closure and be done. Also sitting next in my reading queue is Otomo's Akira (Dark Horse publication, not Marvel).

Very highly recommend JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Stardust crusaders is the best place to start. It's the only anime I watch religiously every week when it's released. I've read a huge chunk of the manga which blew my mind, It's a classic for good reason. The Attack on Titan anime was great but I cant see myself finding time to get into the manga, hopefully we see series 2 soon.

Re: Official Manga Thread
^^ Me too, I found the first episode on torrents that is fan-subbed. Judging by the first episode, its a really cool show. I haven't found anymore

Re: Official Manga Thread
Went to a local convention yesterday and even with the sparse manga selections in the dealers room, I was able to find these two gems. Short Program has been on my want list forever, but its been out of print for a while and hard to find for a good price. The bilingual edition of Man Machine Interface was easy to buy since it was also sitting in the 50% of bin. Paid just $12 for the two of them.

Re: Official Manga Thread
Lovely book published by DC here. Traditional black and white with spot colors of red here and there, and maybe a full color cover or two. No brainer for Batman and Manga fans alike.

Re: Official Manga Thread
Drawn and Quarterly have released this bad boy onto the shelves and i could'nt be happier. Its a much slimmer volume compared to their first Kitaro book from a few years ago but its just as well designed and translated . . . They have at least another two books of Kitaro lined-up for late 2016 and 2017. Finally some properly-published English translation treatment for GeGeGe no Kitaro!

Re: Official Manga Thread
Getting back into Manga/Anime myself lately. I went to the Anime Con a couple of weeks back here in Chicago as I figured it would be THE place to score some goodies from a couple of my favorite properties: Bubblegum Crisis and Devilman.
I came away empty handed in that regard and only actually bought a DVD of Dragon Half. A couple of the vendors I asked looked at me agog when I asked if they had any BGC toys, and got the response "wow, that's old skool!".
Anyway, the hunt continues!
