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."

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.

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