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."

Note that Cain Saga is quite misogynistic, and also kind of bad compared with Godchild, which is also misogynistic but has a great deal of artistic virtue and one female character of awesomeness (Cain's little sister.)

(Belial! It took me a while to warm up to her, but I am now in love. I am convinced that not only is Belial/Universe the ultimate OTP of Angel Sanctuary, but also that it is the most canon thing in the series, and I'm pretty sure everything was canon under some incarnation or secret ID. End irrelevant squee caused by icon.)

I have a weird impression of Kaori Yuki and female characters. It's like she loves them, but gets so caught up fangirling her guys that she forgets about them, and then she goes "Oh! I need a villain/misogynist/psycho/manipulator...I haven't drawn a girl in a while!" I have seen Cain's sister favorably compared to Sara, so I am assuming I will love her.
