A few unfortunate things:

1. Borders is closing, gonna have to buy all my manga online now

2. All of the stuff in said Borders' is on sale and me, being very weak-willed and bad with money, have decided to start collecting the Sgt. Frog manga

Good news is I get to read Sgt. Frog :D

ABRACAPOCUS! I raise thee from the bowels of page 2!

Fullmetal Alchemist is done. I am both satisfied and sad.

At some point I'm going to have to knuckle down and catch up with my manga reading list.
Pending that: Anybody else like Change 123 and Negative Happy Chainsaw Edge?

Picked up a new manga series, Drifters. It's done by Hirano Kouta who also did Hellsing. It's an interesting Alter 'Verse tale so far, where famous people from Eath's past are sucked into another world to do battle on behalf of various factions within that world. Looks like it will be pretty good. Unfortunately since Dark Horse's release schedule has gone from a bit worse than average to OMFG terrible, it looks like we will be waiting a year between volume releases with volume 2 not coming out until this July. :ymsigh:

Readings fairy tail and wait what the fuck chapter 85 already?

Edit:

Now on the waiting game with releases.

Ya know, gray might be the nudist but Erza gets nude a whole lot more due to her exquip ability and doesn't even bat an eye at it.

Then again it's always during battles and she's almost always professional. Nudity is a non issue to her anyway.

Not the best manga I've followed, follows the same recipe. But something about the chars makes me like them.

I found vandread manga!

But never mind it's hentai... Done in a style so close to the actual anime that I suspect it's the same artists.

Weird, cause there was an actual Vandread manga

It's leagues different from the anime anyways, but it wasn't hentai

These are called the book of barnette, book of all characters, etc.

I'll go hunt for the real manga to see what it's like. What came first?

Honestly, I have no idea; I must've found and read it like 4 or 5 years ago

It's really different though; like not having major characters different

From what I can remember: Hibiki is the only male, so no Bart or Duelo. No Magno either, I think Meia was the captain. I forget if Jura is still there, but Barnette ends up falling in love with Hibiki (that's like the weirdest thing of all). Oh, and BC is evil... or something

Hell, for all I know it might've been a doujinshi. It would certainly explain all of the really big differences
