Hubby and I got gift cards for Barnes and Noble as a late Christmas present, so we went back today to pick up a few more books. He had to use a little bit of his gift card to help pay for mine, but he didn't mind since he got what he wanted anyway and didn't really want much else.

So new additions to my collection are:
Fairy Tail: Blue Mistral Vols. 1-3
Fairy Tail: Fairy Girls Vol. 3
Alice in the Country of Clover: Twin Lovers
The Demon Prince of Momochi House Vol. 7


Technically Demon Prince wasn't supposed to be released until the 3rd, but when we arrived at the store they had two copies of it with a few other comics and manga on a cart. I swooped up one of the copies before anyone could've possibly taken it away. >.> This was what I wanted the most, since there isn't much else I'm wanting (other than filling in spots in my Fairy Tail and Soul Eater collections) until the near end of the month.

@Ggultra2764 That looks fantastic, congrats.

Finally received my Mai Mai Miracle Collector's Ed. from Kickstarter. The chipboard box is solid with pretty artwork and the little book is nicely made. I really like that the hard box comes with its own slip cover. Its a small thing, but it really pleases me. I just need to find time to sit down and watch it. Lots of stuff to watch from the holidays including live-action.

Bought the entire series of Arisa (Vols. 1-12) off of eBay in like new condition for $60. So less than retail on each volume, and considering how much Vols. 4 and 5 are going for (when I checked a week ago, they were going for about $30-$50 each on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and HPB), I thought it was worth it.

Although now I need to get rid of the first three volumes I have, but that's alright! I'm sure if anything, I trade them in at HPB and I know it'll be enough to get me another book that I'm missing from my collection. Laughing

Arisa's a great series. Shame to see it going out of print so soon. At least Kodansha did actually continue it though. As for me:


Post Christmas comic shop binge:

Maid-sama omnibus 6
Nozaki-kun 5
Blue Exorcist 16
Cells at Work 2
Please Tell Me Galko-chan 1 (I didn't expect to like the anime of this as much as I did)
Chiro Star Project 6
Your Lie in April 11 (end)
L-DK 8
Kiss Him Not Me 8

And the Perfect Blue Steelbook

From TRSI, needed a few loose ends on my manga shelf. I mostly only allowed myself to order things that came out over two months ago that my comic shop never got it, because sometimes, they'll get stuff in early or a bit late, but after 5-6 months, I think I'm good to just get it online at that point.

Forget me Not 4
Heroic Legend of Arslan 5
Lupin the III series 2 part 1


And for Lupin, I'm not really big into Lupin, but this is the one with Tony Oliver as Lupin that aired on [adult swim] way back in the day, so I do like this series quite fondly. Not sure if I'll get sets 3 and 4 (which will be sub only), but I'm probably getting the first 2 sets for sure. I am glad that Dsicotek is being very convenient with these sets, putting all the dub on the first two, because they kept people in mind who might still have the old Geneon releases. I didn't really like the first series of Lupin very much (green jacket one), and I've honestly never seen any Lupin movie either, but series 2, I like.

Another fine day at the comic shop (minus the incoming snow, I suppose)

7th Garden 3
Aoharu x Machinegun 2
Blade of the Immortal omni 1
Fruits Basket 8
Love Stage 6
Magia the Ninth 1
Master Keaton 9
One Punch Man 10
Seraph of the End 11
Skip Beat 34/35/36
Tokyo Ghoul 10
World Trigger 14


And the third Bee and Puppycat trade as well, solid day (though I feel like every time I'm in there, all I can think of is "dammit, where's Yowamushi Pedal 4?" or some other recent release like that, I think they tend to get Kodansha stuff later, missing a nice chunk of them, including Vinland Saga, Cells at Work, and who knows what else)

It's not really a purchase, per se, but my Kickstarted copy of Mai Mai Miracle finally arrived today. I wasn't super-concerned about the delays in fulfillment, since I think just about every project I've ever backed has come in at least a year late, but it's nice to finally have it in my hands.
