Manga : Misc
I read all 18 volumes of Peach Girl (as well as 3 volumes of Ura Peach Girl, Sae's sidestory) last night. It was fun, although most characters were hard for me to relate to. I just... kept laughing at their issues. ;;; Maybe I'm not sensitive enough. ^^;;; And now I'm reading Cross Game, a slice-of-life manga by Mitsuru Adachi. It's amazing. *.* No, really. Adachi-sensei's style is simple, but there's a lot of talent behind that simplicity, and he's a fantastic storyteller and a powerful realist. He seems to be a very popular author in Japan (I mean, hey, Rumiko Takahashi herself considers him a rival - in a friendly way, yes, but still...), and I can tell why, he's so damn good. I've just finished volume 1 and I'm already thinking about buying it - a bit later, maybe in August. It's THAT awesome. @.@ Gee... I'll have to save quite a lot of money. ;;; I want to buy at least one book of Aoi Hana, and volume 1 of Cross Game, and on top of that, I absolutely must complete my Death Note collection (I own all volumes that feature Teru and also a couple of Arc I books, but that's not enough, obviously!). Hee. Oh well. Life's like that.
