Day 21 – Weekly Reads (22 – 28)

I have finally made a dent in my reading this week by finishing about 35 mangas. Two are new series that came in during the week and one is because Naruto happened to get a whole lot more interesting and at this rate of reading, I may be up to 60 in a day or two, meaning that I can review something this week.

Let’s start with what was read this week:

• Naruto 20 – 52
• Prison School 1
• Yotsuba& 1

The one I am enjoying currently is actually Naruto.
It is getting really good, I am enjoying the action, the story and most importantly, I am loving the character development. At first, I use to like Sasuke over Naruto but after a while, Naruto grew on me. Other characters like Sakura, Hinata and Gaara are also three other characters that have developed a deep soft spot in me since they have progressed, and I wish I could say more but I plan to review them in the coming days.

Now, my least favourite is Yotsuba&.
I am not sure exactly why, but it annoys me. Maybe it’s the fact that I feel like there is a lot of yelling and screaming and it unsettles me, but I am hoping that it softens down as the story progresses since I do love Azumas works. I have three volumes on hand at this moment and I hope to start getting the rest when a final volume is confirmed to make it easier to plan when to buy this series, since others are a higher want.

Now, Prison School being the only middle one makes this section easier to write up about. It certainly has a curious genre of Sex Comedy and I didn’t know what to expect but it was certainly a series I felt like I needed to read. I am actually glad to have found the first volume cheap and eventually obtain the rest and have them in my life. It’s a really amusing series and quite serious all at the same time.

I am super pleased to have read so much this week and it’s a huge leap from the very few I read within the first few weeks of this month. I don’t expect a huge reading in the next week but as long as I keep a steady pace of at least once a day. I do hope to finish what Naruto mangas I have left and make a dent on my other series I have bought and delayed due to this 60 volume monster.

Day 20 - Manga Mail #4

The weekly mail manga has come in and in my usual day late fashion, I have finally gotten around to writing my ramble about what I got this week and I am so pleased of them since that means three series are finished, a manga I’d always like, started a new one and continued a few ones.

So, I am finally going to share and talk about how I feel about the following series.

Sankarea was a series I started ages ago and someone was selling the whole series for a really good price and sadly, I have so many mangas to read before it since Naruto is a fair distance to go, well 48 out of 60 volumes read. I am contemplating using Sankarea one as a giveaway item once I reach 333 followers and last check, I finally cracked 300 followers.

Acute is a stand-alone manga based on the Vocaloid song of the same name. It’s one I been wanting to get for ages since I enjoyed the song and I was happy to finally read a Vocaloid based manga instead of listening to the music and I’m really glad that it came in and so cheaply.

Since I read volume 1 of Ao Haru Ride and seemed to enjoy it a lot, I ended up ordering 2 and 3. Volume 2 has come in and recently got the email informing that volume 3 will soon be in the warehouse and be dispatched to me as soon as it is in but then again, it is one of four pre-orders that I have finally getting into my collection.

I bought volume 1 of Beast Master via a seller on Facebook and so, of course, I had to nab volume 2 to finish the set since I really like finishing series, it gives me a joy of knowing that when I get to reading them, I can finish them in one sitting.

In a previous post, I mentioned Angelic Days and finally, volume 4 came in and finally completed the set and I was really happy for the condition and I can’t wait to reread that series again, since it’s been years since I last held them.

I been delaying buying Food Wars for some reason. I manage to nab 5 and 6 for about 5AUD and I am hoping to eventually buy them all and keep up to date on it since it’s a rather long series, I am unsure why I keep delaying it even though it’s a really great series and there are nearly 30 volumes out to date.

Manage to score Prison School for a rather cheap price just to see if it is worth buying. I am amused by the series, even though at times it is intense, and I am so amused and looking forward to reading more of it.

Out of the pile, I only read Prison School, since I took a small break from reading Naruto and eventually plan to read the rest since I am getting so much closer to being up to date with the volumes I currently have on hand. Then again, Naruto is starting to really get good and I dread the time when I finish the series. Either way, let’s welcome the new babies into my collection. They are all so cute and it makes me very happy to get a hold of all these.
