I have...


Pokemon - Toshirio Ono anime-based manga, issues 1-4, and the graphic novels of Pikachu Shocks Back and Electric Pikachu Boogaloo. I'm missing the last graphic novel and haven't seen it anywhere.

InuYasha, Volume 1 graphic novel.

Blade of the Immortal, various volumes (I have the first and second volumes, but I've been collecting them out of order). I have 6 graphic novels in all, one of which I haven't read yet because it's a second part to a story arc I don't have the first part to. (I found the volume at a really, really good price, so I snapped it up when I could).

Phoenix, "Dawn" and "A Tale of the Future".

Adolf, Volumes 1-3.

Petshop of Horrors, Volumes 1-2

Dragon Knights, Volume 1. I bought it because I could get a 3 for 1 deal at the time and wanted the first volume of Petshop of Horrors... I got it because the back-cover reading seemed intersting, but I didn't like it very much. :p

CardCaptor Sakura, Master of the Clow, Volume 1 (I started reading it, but haven't finished it).

Trigun Maximum, Volume 3, in Japanese - so I can only look at the pretty pictures. (My online boyfriend bought it for me and had it signed by Nightow at Otakon and mailed it to me :) )

Azumanga Daioh! Volume 1, also in Japanese. I got it thinking that it had not been released in English at all yet, again, I look at the pretty pictures. I can guess what's going on because of my viewing of the anime.

And I got a big "Phone Book" of Kondansha Afternoon, also sent to me by my boyfriend. I cannot read the Japanese, but I can guess what is going on from the pictures. There was a bit of Blade of the Immortal in it. :) I saw one of the mangas in it that I had never heard of before that I got interested in, from looking at the story through the pictures... has a manga called "God-Dog" ever been released in English? Yes, it had the stylish English title, but lots of mangas have that... it was in Japanese, and I think it is only available in Japanese... if anyone sees it anywhere in English, lemme know? Please? It looked SO interesting! The dogs in it were drawn so well! It seemed to be about dogs involved in experiements that turned them into weapons... and there was this dog that escaped the lab and befriended a couple of kids... as far as I could guess. I think he spoke to them through telepathy, but I'm not sure... anyway, it looked so interesting! I want it in English!

There's my collection. I wish to expand it, yes, I do... espeically with the English translations of Trigun and Trigun Maximum, more Petshop of Horrors, and I really want to finish out the last two books of the 5 book Adolf series.

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

oh yeah, it is very rare to find. I actually found it in a small corner shop back home. I don't even know whether it's still available now. I don't really understand the story yet (it's in Chinese and haven't seen any translation online :sweat: ) so technically, I own it but I haven't really 'read' it. All I know is the characters are very erm...uniquely drawn. It's hard to tell who's male and who's female... :lol: It's almost mild gothic to me...but then again, I could be wrong. :dizzy:

Man my manga Collection is small compared to some of your guys collections. That's partly too because I've been into anime for a really long time but I have never found a place that sells manga till I stepped into a borders a couple months ago then it all changed. :lol: Anyway here's what I got right now.

FLCL Vol. 1 (My first manga ever)

Di Gi Charat Vol. 1 (I Think this one is a fun one for the hardcore manga/anime fans it pokes fun at anime fandom!)

Megatokyo Chapter 0(Every manga/anime fan must have this in there manga collection it's a must!!)

.Hack// The Legend Of Twilight(This is a great one but I wish it would have been more like the anime and the pointless fanservice would have been taken out)

Trigun #1 - Dark Horse Manga

I am so excited!

*jumps around and then starts chopping up watermelons with his claymore*

Ah... the taste of vegetative fear in the evening :evil: . Mmmmm... melon blood isn't that bad either :drool: .

You know that reminds me of that book,"Bunnicula". That was very strange in a "you got to be kidding me" way.
