I couldn’t resist.

Amanchu! Volume 1

Typically, I buy manga that nobody bothers to translate or I buy ones that the translators are way behind on. With that in mind, there’s no real good reason for buying this, since I’ve read almost all these chapters online. But how can you resist that cover? Pretty colors…

Who’s a fan of Aria? And what do you think of Amanchu so far? I’m finding it to be quite enjoyable.

Hit the jump for an image of the back.

Might as well throw this up here…

You can click on it for a slightly bigger image. I think I’ll fix this one up sometime in the future. Random Nanoha sketch for the win! Better than the previous sketch? I think so. Still many things to improve on though…

What the heck did I just sketch?

Me #1: Hey!
Me #2: Hmm?
Me #1: We should get a mascot for this site!
Me #2: Mmm, that sounds interesting. Sure.
Me #1: Let’s make one now!
Me #2: Now? I have other things to do… Besides, how long has it been since I’ve used the tablet?
Me #1: Okay fine, then I’ll sketch some random stuff and practice.
Me #2: Okay.
15 Minutes Later
Me #1: Done! Sort of…
Me #2: …
Me #1: What?

I need to practice for a million years it seems.

Anime Music: Karaoke Versions

Seto No Hanayome Album Art

I was recently organizing my set of anime related music when this came to mind. I’m sure that people who listen to anime music know about these vocal-less versions. It’s quite fun to listen to these tracks. Sometimes, you might even find something in the instrumentals that was covered up by the vocals. However, I realized that for the most part, I don’t listen to these versions that often. Yet, they’re probably taking up at least one third of the space on my iPod (now known as the iPoo). And now as I’m slowly running out of disk space, just what should I do with them?

Personal Post-Wonfes Filtering

Now I don’t exactly remember how I felt after previous Wonder Festival coverages, but this time around, I feel like I’ve seen too many interesting things. If Wonder Festivals are indicators of what my wallet will be in the future, then I’m definitely screwed. Time to take a look at the ones that I could possibly commit to, and we’ll do it through multiple rounds! If you’re too lazy to look through everything (shame on you), just skip to the last round. This whole post is very “texty”, but most of it is in the form of a list, so it shouldn’t take too long to read through.

All information was gathered from these various blog posts. If you have not yet seen what was displayed at Wonfes, please take a look at those links.

Da Capo II i.f.

D.C. II i.f. Volume 5

So, today I was out looking for Sakura Micron pens. Unfortunately, I didn’t find any. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that they had the last volume of D.C. II i.f. in stock. If you’ve been following this blog for a while, then you’ve no doubt seen me mention this particular manga series before.

I’m about halfway through this volume. I can probably post a brief review in a few sentences. Overall, the series is fairly average and doesn’t bring anything new and revolutionary to the table, yet I can’t stop reading it. I guess I’m a big Nanaka fan after all. Has anyone else experienced similar things? You find a story that’s best described as “meh”, but since it’s got characters that you like, you read it anyways. ^^
