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.)

*short story collections

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

you need ot read the last two volumes of Basara just for the funny. okay and the serious, but mostly the funny. when you read the funny you will know what I am referring to.

AU school crossdressing hijinks? The next generation as kids where Shuri and Sarasa's daughter is determined to marry Shido's son? (I have been convinced this will happen since, like, vol 6...)

that...would be awesome and sadly not the funny I was referring to. we do get a story set after the events of volume 25 (as well as 'catchups' to certain characters), but the other series is set before the series began regarding those four swords. the funny is...well it is AU and it does have to do with a school, of sorts, but not any crossdressing.

if'n I could find the rest of the Basaran doujins Tamura did I hear tell there is a story about Shuri and Sarasa's child, but I only got the 4th issue...can't find none of the other 3 or 4...

I difn't know there were foujins by Tamura. Any idea where I could find/read them?

[lotuseyes.livejournal.com]

unfortunately no. I've been stalking Ebay for over a year now and only managed to find the one. according to this site all the short stories are part of the manga (http://www.fuuko.com/doujinshi/basara/index.htm) as extras, and at least one of them sounds like it is (the third one), but I don't know for certain.

I love Motomichi. His appearances always made me happy (even though I don't like babies) because Tamura drew him so cutely.
