meganbmoore | manga backlog

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'm sorry to hear about your job! I hope you can pick a new one up soon.

Also, ARGH, tell me about it. I'm praying Amazon won't run out of the few volumes they do have in stock before my next paycheck, 'cause I'm not really interested in paying $100+ for a single volume of manga, no matter how amazing and delicious and, and wonderful it is. Maybe eBay...?

*shakes fist some more*

Order what you need from Rightstuf next time they have a Viz sale. They list most volumes.

x.x I really do think Basara volume 20 was a limited run of like 10 copies because they don't have it listed either...

Things like this are why I stockpile! I may notread it for a year, but I got it while it was available!

::nods:: I do that with novels. graphic novels I tend to read right away (well the ones I dont' read scanlations of anyhow) and buy them within a month of their release (give or take). Basara...well I had been waiting for that for so long before it was actually licensed that I had all the volumes pre-ordered the second they hit the amazon site XD if I could have done a subscription pre-order service on the GN's I have.

Me too. I am a major hoarder, but run into this problem when I ponder acquiring series I didn't buy initially. Like Tramps Like Us, for which volume 6 is hard to find.

*nods*

Several Clamp volumes have been a bit harder to find, but not actually costly.

Nice! Thanks for the heads up. :)

unfortunately when I was able to search around on ebay I wasn't able to find volume 20 for very cheap (and by cheap I mean under $25). I don't understand why that is so expensive! did they make a shorter supply of those for some reason?

I know what you mean...Basara is gorgeous loving and when I saw the special edition boxset on ebay I was like $200? I AM THERE SCREW BILLS FOR THE MONTH! except I didn't because I am too responsible for that ~~if I wasn't the new box archive edition of the complete FMA anime would SO BE MINE even if it is $600...~~

I double-checked on Amazon and YIKES, volume twenty is the ridiculously expensive one I remembered. $350 for a single volume of manga?! And oh my gosh, eBay is JUST AS BAD. Holy starlight! What is up with this?

did they make a shorter supply of those for some reason?

I've no idea, but it's really weird that this one volume is so much more expensive than the remainder of the series.

Responsibility! It is our bane, our curse. (But I want the Princess Tutu boxset noooooow.)

You never know, though! It just might pop up at a used bookstore.

It's going for $350? Seriously?

...

*wonders what other manga she has that sells for ridiculous amounts*
