Highly recommend Sketchbook ~full color's~ based on what you're describing. The main character is always wandering around and seeing little things that pique her interest. There are quite a few background characters and the segments focusing on them tend to be more comedy-driven, though not to...

I got really confused as Amazon Japan has the release date of volume 1 listed as July 2022. But by that time Seven Seas had already released volumes 1 through 4. But it seems there are two manga adaptations of the light novels (wiki). And searching on Amazon Japan it does seem that the first...

Having scraped the seven seas site on the 8th of August, I can tell you that volume 5 wasn't listed back then either. Not sure if it ever was listed, but when looking through an older scrape (April 2021) there actually was mention of a volume 5 of the manga, although under a different ISBN. Not...

Went through my collection to check, and here are some that include English subtitles (no English audio) that aren't listed in the opening post yet: Magical Girl Lyrical NANOHA The Movie 1st Magical Girl Lyrical NANOHA The Movie 2nd A's Magical Girl Lyrical NANOHA Reflection Magical Girl...

Happy New Year everyone!

In general I do think it's good practice to quote relevant parts from whatever you link, or otherwise summarise it. This is useful in case of link rot or if the content changes after the fact. And it also works nicely with the forum software, where it gets properly indexed and can be searched...

Interesting, though the chart doesn't tell us much. Since it only shows percentages, it's hard to say what's going on. I can imagine that the sales of DVDs have increased due to the pandemic. But from that chart alone it's not possible to conclude that at the same time Blu-rays sales "plummeted"...

Here's my November haul: A bit less than I'd normally buy in a month, but that's also good for a change. Of the above I've only read Komi so far, so my backlog continues to grow 😐 Was also under the impression I had vol 2 of Syrup, but checking my spreadsheets and digging through boxes reveals...

Interesting to see your views on the twist and ending, though something still feels off about it to me. I think you're spot on as for the reason why he didn't read the book. Robbing them of their goodbye makes sense, and in a way is even needed for the diary scene to work. Though, I believe...

I probably should give it a rewatch to properly comment on the film, since it's been ages since I last saw it. I do recall having mixed feelings about it, and I see I'm not the only one on some points. Overall I did end up liking the movie, but I think the pacing/build up was not ideal. There...

Storage is actually quite easy and you just have to adjust along the way as your collection grows. You start with one shelf and dedicate it to manga. Slowly but steadily the shelf fills up and each time you walk past it you smile. Once the shelf is full, you start using that other shelf that...

I also have that Lego set. It's not the most interesting build in my opinion, but definitely one of the nicest to display. Whoever decided to use 100 pink frogs for the cherry blossom deserves a raise.

Awesome thread! Here's my haul for October. Most of them are new volumes of manga I was already reading. Quite surprised I was so far behind on Komi, but that just means there's plenty for me to read. Also bought several manga by Inio Asano, I must say I'm quite a fan of his works. In that...

I know the last thing you'd want to hear now are those phrases. The ones saying them are generally the ones who've had it happen to them (often unexpectedly), so that skews things. Sadly there are no guarantees, and we all logically know that "it might not happen" holds true for many people as...

I would say it's worth it, but I haven't seen or read anything of Aria, despite it sitting on my shelf for years. As @CommanderZx2 says, the volumes are really high quality and look very nice on a bookshelf. That alone is worth something, right? 😅 In any case, I'm really glad they are...
