50% off manga + 20% coupon for entire purchase is a dangerous combination, especially if you only went in to grab your father's Christmas gift and the new Codex Alera book for yourself.

Spoils of war:

Antique Bakery Vol 1-2
Beauty Pop Vol 1-2
I.O.N.*
Kare Kano Vol 4-5, 9**
Short-Tempered Melancholic*
Planet Ladder Vol 1, 3-7**
Time Stranger Kyoko Vol 1-2*

^Arina Tanemura's art kind of scares me (The eyes! The eeeeyyyyyeeeeeessssss!!!) but we'll see.
**I have the omnibus collecting the first 3 volumes somewhere in the slowly-shrinking backlog. I shall hunt it down.
***Volume 2 is going to end up one of those that it's murder to find, isn't it?

To do today: bog manga read in the last few days and beta at least 1 of the 2 yuletide fics that I've been sent.

Man that is an awesome deal, I am insanely jealous. (But also thankful cause I there are a few short series I want to buy in their entirety and...yeah.)

I need to get Time Stranger Kyoko & the last 4 volumes of Kare Kano.

Mmmm, Antique Bakery. Be sure to have the good kind of chocolate snacks with you; you'll be leaving drool marks on the page. Surprisingly, for a different reason than you'd expect when reading a manga with hot guys in it.

Antique Bakery *__* Beauty Pop *________*
And Plante Ladder, it's been literally AGES since I wanted to read that.
I'm so envious of the american manga catalogue. It feels like we just have shounen here^^;;

Personally I prefer TSKyoko from all of Tanemura's works, at least in regard of the art. I wish her style had stopped evolving from then on, it was perfect imho.
(speaking of the story, I still like KKJeanne best tho)

looks like you can find planet ladder used on amazon for $2.50.
What a good loot with the unbeatable price. I'm jealous.
I like Arina Tanemura's art fine with Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne but it's a bit too busy with Gentlemen's Alliance +, I couldn't finish #1.

Antique Bakery and Beauty Pop are two of my favorites--I hope you enjoy them!

From what I remember of ION, I wasn't that impressed. Her art doesn't appeal to me (the eyes, dear god! they all look so removed from reality!) and the story wasn't particuraly unique or interesting. An average shoujo, I guess.
