My Manga Collection

K3

In response to Angelanime, here are pictures of my manga collection.  I have too much manga to write out a list. (I also hope you now understand why I want electronic manga): My collection is divided into two rooms.  I’ve sold off at least 300 volumes over the past 3 or 4 years to make room for my constantly evolving collection.  Haha!  As you can see, I’m almost out of shelf space again ;p.

"Nanairo no Mukou" Preview

K3

Here’s a preview of our big spring one-shot.  Sorry it’s taking so long, but it’s a big whopping 71-pages, so it’s taking a while to typeset ;p.  It’s a really cute and touching story, so I hope you all will give it a chance and read it. This hasn’t been QC’ed or proofread, so please bear with the mistakes you may find. Hopefully, it will be out before Friday :). Continue reading "Nanairo no Mukou" Preview

TokyoPop is Shutting Down US Operations

K3

Tokyo Pop is finally going under in the US.  They will be shutting down US operations on May 31st.  I don’t know what will happen with all the series they are in the middle of.  I myself am currently reading: Shinobi Life Gakuen Alice Portrait of M&N VB Rose Aion Alice in the Country of Hearts Maid-sama Needless to say, I’m rather disappointed.  Anyhow…hopefully, another publisher will rise up and take over some of the licenses so the series can be finished (Hopefully in affordable electronic form rather than tree killing volumes).  I’m not feeling all that confident, though, since … Continue reading TokyoPop is Shutting Down US Operations

"The Ghost Apartment Manager" Chapter 3

K3

  Here is the third installment of “The Ghost Apartment Manager”.  In this chapter three new fun characters are introduced and immediately begin to torment poor Sekka.  Haha!  The apartment is getting more rambunctious ;p.  This is also the beginning of the first story arc which revolves around the female character Kiyariko.   Links to “The Ghost Apartment Manager” chapter 3:  (Zip) (PDF) Spoiler Alert! Spoilers Ahead! My thoughts on the chapter: Turtle Symbolism — an anonymous reader wrote about turtle symbolism in a comment for “Kemono Kingdom: Zoo”.  Considering that a turtle character has been introduced in this series, … Continue reading "The Ghost Apartment Manager" Chapter 3

Delaying "Furou Kyoudai" and "The Scarecrow of Oz" Short Series

K3

I’ve decided to delay “Furou Kyoudai” and “The Scarecrow of Oz” short series until July to allow for time for the release of compilation of the series and one-shots into a book (Hopefully, the books will come out way before July.  If so, we’ll start when the books come out instead of waiting.).  The magazine print quality of the short series portion is atrocious and will take a long time to clean and edit (It’s making my eyes burn and tearing up my mousing-wrist — hello carpal tunnel…). Even if we do our best, we could probably only bring the … Continue reading Delaying "Furou Kyoudai" and "The Scarecrow of Oz" Short Series
