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.

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)

If these work out, I'll likely check out Tanemura's other series. I normally have to hunt around for shoujo I actually want to read. There's a lot of good stuff licensed here. It just isn't always the popular stuff.

Here it's the really popular stuff that gets licensed.
I have no hope to read rainbow cakes in French for instance ;__;
