Day 39 – Manga Procurement Squad

We got two mangas out of the procurement this week and they are basically just finishers in the series.

• Made in Heaven 2
• Sorcerers and Secretaries 2

I am super stocked to finally have these two to finish the series and I got them from a Facebook user, so I am limiting any personal information on that since it’s not really necessary.

Anyway, this may be a super short and somewhat overdue posts but here we go. The condition for it was a bit dirty but after a good clean up, it’s looking as new as they feel. Probably read once and I am most likely to procure off the seller again since they seem to care for their belongings and that means I am going to get them in pretty good condition.

Made in Heaven volume 2, follows Juri side of the story, since they say that every story has at least two sides. Little did she know that Kazemichi use to be Reiji, someone who was nearly killed and brought back with artificial parts and unfeeling skin. She also didn’t know that they were starting to give out and he may die again. When his body was found in a wreckage from an unknown explosion, she learns about the dark past that made the man that became to be known as Kazemichi.

Made in Heaven is a two-part series and cannot be complete without having read both sides of this story. I got the first one in a bundle for a Paradise Kiss volume, but it turns out to be sort of worth getting. The story fascinates me, and I cannot wait to read them both together, now that I finally got the final volume.

Sorcerers and Secretaries volume 2 follows where the first volume ended, where Nicole was saying how she has to leave and never wants to see Josh again. After he stops her, they make amends since Josh ended up reading her dream diary and loves the amazing world she has imagined. He convinces her to enter her work to a fantasy magazine and allows him to be her editor. Nicole is now torn between focusing on her new creative outlet and the new attraction that she is now having for Josh.

When I first got this volume, I didn’t know what to expect but I didn’t expect to enjoy it so much at the end of volume one, hence why I tried to get volume two as quickly as possible. Sadly, I only just read the first few pages and really want to read more but I been a bit busy the last few days with life and health issues, so I hope to possibly read it soon and possibly start reviewing it since it’s a short and sweet series.

The only flaw about these two mangas is the age. They are from the early TokyoPop era and that indicates they are looking to be a bit pricey compared to most manga these days and getting them brand new would be even more so. If you can manage to nab these, especially collectors who enjoy old series or series with fantasy, romance and drama, then take these two on, you shouldn’t be too disappointed, I wasn’t. That concludes the post today and remember, read all the things!
