rightstuf's new sale is 33% off Tokyopop comics, lasting through 10/12. Holes in certain Clamp series! You will now be filled! *makes note to read the first volume of Tokko and the first couple volumes of Tarot Cafe in the next couple of days*

Anyone want to remind me what the other manhwa by the manhwaga of Hotel Africa are? Also, I know Tokyopop isn't putting out any more books of Nabi, but will reading what they have put out leave me annoyed by no more?

I'm slightly concerned, though: Their past 2 sales for Tokyopop have been preceded by a Del Rey sale. I hope they haven't taken Del Rey off their sales cycle.

Also, I will now tretrat the comments I made before about bookcloseouts.com. The order did show up in their system again 2 days later, and came today. (Interestingly enough, it was Tokyopop manga...anyway.) So, one nightmarish experience where I eventually got my books and money for the book I didn't get, and one with a very annoying hiccup, but OK in the end.

I haven't read the X/1999 manga yet, but I have seen the anime. Despite my fondness for the Syaorans and Sakuras and Kendappa/Souma, they're pretty much my Clamp OTP at this point.

They're pretty much my entire reason for liking X--I mean, I do like some of the other characters, but they're the only ones I really care about. The manga is kind of a mixed bag; CLAMP seems to have not really known what they were doing at the beginning, so it's less coherent than the beginning of the TV series, and the lack of an ending is very frustrating. But once it gets settled the pacing is better, and I can't think of ANY plot points where I prefer the anime.

Plus Sorata gets to change his clothes in the manga.
