President Election: Obama VS Romney
(91 posts, 15413 views) Posted: over 11 years ago by CuthienSilmeriel in Chatter Box
Not that I have a say in the matter, but if I did, I'd vote Obama, simply because Romney would deny some of my very good friends the right to marry the person they love. I understand that it is against his religion, I am also a Christian, but religion should have absolute...

Mangafox and Mangahere

Keep spreading the word about Mangafox. Personally I'm a fan of buying the manga, but I am lucky enough to live in Japan where I can get it very cheaply and without any censoring or editing you sometimes see in English manga.
For many people, buying manga is not an option...

I go for the good company. Sure the trees are very pretty, and I like trying new flavours of dango, but really everything is so much better with good friends, good alcohol and good music.

Tite Kubo - The Best Poet In Manga?

I pretty much agree with everything Creshie said. His read more like something a 10 year old would write as a homework assignment than a true literary artist. I won't talk about the over whelming number of beutiful prose and poetry I find in novels, but in manga and manhw...

How large is your manga collection?
(237 posts, 52945 views) Posted: over 12 years ago by CuthienSilmeriel in Manga General
It wasn't so big physically, then I moved to Japan and started to work.
Lots of money + cheap manga = exponential growth of my collection.
Now I have about 8 series in English, and about 20 in Japanese. It totals about 100 volumes (which is still pretty small I'll grant)....

Banana Fish - The art style is unique and is very love/hate (I personally love it because it's more realistic than mangas full of bishies), but the story is very deep, complex and never boring. It's completely scanlated and has the perfect ending.

I'm going to interpret unique as not the typical male protagonists found in shounen and shoujos.
