 Should I rewatch the Rose of Versailles anime before reading the manga for the first time, or after?

 I'm looking into getting a tablet.  I'll mostly be using it to read manga (I can read manga on my kindle, but I want a larger screen) and then for netflix/crunchyroll/amazon prime when traveling.


Any recommendations?

What are you currently reading?

Rose Under Fire
by Elizabeth Wein. Sequel/companion to Code Name Verity. I'm about 1/4 of the way through it and withholding commentary or judgement until I've finished it. (Opinion is favorable so far, though.)

The first volume of Venus Capriccio by Nishikata Mai. This is a shoujo series that was licensed by CMX, an imprint that I dearly miss. I haven't read much of it, but what I've read I've enjoyed, and it looks to be subverting some shoujo tropes and is hopefully doing good things with the genderbender aspect. It reminds me a bit of W Juliet.

What did you recently finish reading?


Zombies vs Unicorns
by Holly Black and Justine Larbalestier (eds.). An anthology of unicorn and zombie stories (alternating, not together) framed as being intended to settle the dispute over whether zombies are unicorns are better. I was very into unicorns when wee, but don't have a strong interest in either on their own as an adult. The individual stories ranged from OK to pretty interesting, but I found Black and Larbalestier's bickering in the introductions to each story to be the most entertaining part.

I read a bit of the Blue Exorcist manga because the library had it, but was bored.

What do you think you'll read next?


More Venus Capriccio and Rose Under Fire, then probably Rose of Versailles and the Twelve Kingdoms short stories.
