A few days ago a few items Ive ordered from Amazon arrived at my doorstep and I was quite suprised by the size of  two of the three.A rant about the German Manga Publishers,A blast to the past and the truth about Yoda await right after the Jump!

Posted by Blowfish On December - 30 - 2008

NSFW!!! I picked up Vol.3 of the Ikki Tousen Manga today (10€ a Volume YUCK!) but this post isnt about the Manga itself but the Ad I found in the back.I was reading it on the train home and my eyes were literally popping out when i saw that ad.Youll find the Ad after the Jump!

The scourge of Manga collectors: Double Volumes

Posted by Blowfish On December - 21 - 2008

I was able to avoid a problem that most manga collectors experience sooner or later: buying a volume double.This weekend I became one of those poor souls aswell…While I was around town, I came across a bookstore and took a casual look at the manga section.I spotted there a supposedley new volume of one of the mangas Im collecting.I picked it up without further thought and went to the counter to buy it.Back home it struck me when I took a closer look at it and realized that its already a volume I own.That shop usually puts a receipt in the plastic bag together with the books you purchase but of course the girl behind the counter didnt.No chance to turn the manga in  YAY!

The Dengeki Daioh Trip!

Posted by Blowfish On November - 12 - 2008

The last time i visited  my favorite bookstore they had the September 08 Issue of the Dengeki Daioh Magazine on Sale and i was tempted to get it.I usually wouldnt pick up something like this tough since i cant understand a word and can only guess whats going on.I found out a short time later that the Dengeki Daioh serializes alot of Series that im watching right now/Im reading translated and i decided to pick up one issue for fun.Hey after all there are still the extras i can have fun with if it turns out to be boring!

I had to take the Train to Düsseldorf to pick one up and thought why shouldnt i take some pics along the way to show a bit about the Japanese parts of Düsseldorf.

Check out the pictures and some infos after the Jump!

Its getting colder…Time for Manga!

Posted by Blowfish On November - 6 - 2008

Ahhh…Its that time of the year…The days get shorter,its getting colder and Id like to stay in my warm cozy bed all day instead of heading out in the bad cold world.One of the greatest things to do while slacking off in your bed, is to spend it reading some beloved Manga.I had a craving taste for some sweet Manga sessions this week and i headed off to Düsseldorf to get a new stash.The world is a gruesome place and the usual places didnt have any of the Manga i intended to buy in stock…I usually buy my Manga on Amazon but i had such a strong urge I coudnt wait that 1 day for delivery.

I ended up with some series i didnt consider to buy (yet) but my hunger had to be satysfied.As you probably noticed there are even some LoveComedy/Harem Mangas among them.Oh Shame…well the Truth is out….^^

Bitter Virgin

Posted by Blowfish On August - 28 - 2008

The first time i heard about Bitter Virgin must have been about half a year ago when i read about it on Japanator.The Story seemed pretty interesting due to the serious topic it revolves around.After giviing it a try i was instantly hooked upon the story. While Ecchi/Action/Comedy Mangas are a fun way to spend your time, the ones that move you and make you think are still the serious ones.Its time to draw attention to this fine piece of literature.
