manga backlog

[meganbmoore]

I have finally tracked down all parts of the manga backlog(err...there may be strays I haven't found yet, but I doubt it), which got a bit scattered and hidden during the cleaning spree a few weeks back. While I am a firm believer in stockpiling reading material in case of dire emergencies, I think it has passed the stockpiling stage. Ditto for comics. I'll probably do a separate post for them later. Trying to list the novels backlog would break LJ in half.

Anyway, tell me what to read. I didn't realize until I was putting them all together how far behind I'd fallen on some series. I'm probably going to leave off the posting on individual volumes for a bit and doing more 2-3 volume posts (already been starting to) to help with the catch up. (This doesn't include a few series where I'm missing the next volume or more, or manga I'm following in scans, as they don't properly count as backlog,though I'll likely knock them out first. I don't count Samurai Deeper Kyo in this, as what i've read through the end is a combination of scattered scans, raws, and translations.)

ETA: Cain Saga is only the first 2 volumes. Cursed "no editting polls."

I read the first Tactics and enjoyed it well enough. Cain Saga...isn't his sister a main character? And if I can handle all the dead and evil women in Angel Sanctuary (I am convinced Sevothtarte is a woman-specifically, the one Uriel was accused of raping) I should survice Cain Saga. Besides which, Kaori Yuki does funny things to my head.

(I too am in the thrall of Kaori Yuki unearthly powers.) Cain's sister is a main character, but the thing with both Cain Saga and Tactics is that they have the Female Sexuality Is Evil And Must Be Controlled Or Destroyed problem really bad. The sister is mostly safe because she's a little girl, and Youko from Tactics because she's an asexual-yenta-type. But everybody else, not so much.
