If anyone knows me, I'm a big reader.
Not fussed in what form but lately, I been on a manga binge and today I got two new ones for my collections.
I have no started to read them yet but I can still comment of their looks.
First we start with "The life changing manga of tidying up".
I liked the sounds of it and the concept of learning new tips on tidying up the place while reading a story of how a woman changes her life bit by bit from changing the environment around her.
I know, a short comment on the first and same applies to the third volume of Neon Genesis Evangelion which contains the three volumes that originally was sold separately as 7, 8 and 9.
I use to own the series until volume 10 or somewhere there until somebody I use to know pinched a few volumes and ruined the set. So I had to suck it up and invest in the 3 in 1 so that I could finish the whole series. It's still a great series imo.
Now you are wondering why I have volume 2 of the NGE books as a picture. It's only cause it looked good to me =D
Now, I buy all my mangas off book depository and it's not because of the price being better than the local stores, which it is. It's also the fact that if I want to buy mangas in my area, it's a tiny selection and if I want a bigger range, it's an hour trip one way into the main city of Sydney and even then, they don't always have the mangas I want in stock and I am not keen on spending a day going to and from the city. I haven't been in months due to personal issues and money. Yes, it can get pricey sometimes and it's a let down but the main thing is, I love the idea of walking outside and seeing a book filled package waiting for me to take it inside and gently finger the pages.
I do love physical copies of books, comics and mangas xD
I prefer physical copies of books, too.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I agree, the range of mangas in Australia is very small and, for the ones that are here, are so much more expensive than overseas.
I really enjoyed the NGE anime. I think I need to read the mangas one day
