I'll get Attack on Titan when I eventually start the series. There are a few other things I'm interested in but I probably won't start them any time soon.
 
Watamote is on order at Book Depo.
I'll pick up Celebration of Haruhi at some point.
I might get Barakamon, I enjoyed the anime but can't decide if I like it enough to give it valuable shelf space. I have to be picky when considering starting a new manga.
 
I'll get Celebration of Haruhi and Watamote at some point. Might see if Waterstones have AoT: No Regrets in their manga offer (think it was buy one get one half price, but not sure).
 
Just madoka TDS 3 this week, but when I get it depends on when UP gets more stock of A Centaurs Life 4 as it suddenly went out of stock as the recently arrive item was being processed.
 
Got Garden of Words on order with Forbidden Planet and can't wait for it. Need to catch up with Fairy Tail, think I'm a couple of volumes behind now.
 
Just Attack on Titan for me. Enjoyed Black Butler: Book of Circus, so might pick the manga up at a later date...

Tempted to buy the Madoka Magica series for my brother, although I'm a bit skeptical as he loved Toradora the anime, but hated the manga....hmm, anyone recommend it?

Do you know what it was he didn't like about the Toradora manga? I find it really similar to the anime, but with prettier character designs. Does he like things to be near the anime's story or a little bit of something different? I haven't read the Madoka Magica series, I'm more just interested :oops:

It's a tough one, as I think all the various Madoka manga spin-offs fail to match the original series in terms of visual quality - the art style is pretty different and takes some getting used to.

The first series is basically just a straight up re-telling of the anime, but some of the other spin-offs are worth checking out. The Different Story fleshes out Mami and Kyoko a lot, while Kazumi Magica starts off slowly but starts getting really good in the second volume.

Then there's Oriko Magica, which I know a lot of people aren't so keen on, but personally I loved as it felt like the darkest of the bunch by far.
