Mission 39: Manga

Posted in Manga, School on July 19, 2011 by ravenjane

I haven’t been posting because I haven’t been reading manga! Unbelievable, right? Wrong! The ONLY Borders store that is close to us closed down! No manga available, no manga for Nevar! They are going to put in a store called Books-a-Million, but their website looks like it doesn’t have as much manga as Borders does. So, I have been ordering from the Borders website. A while back, when I had ordered Fushigi Yuugi vizbig 6, I also got Dragon Ball Z volumes 9-12. Since Borders was closing down, I went ahead and bought DBZ 14-17. Come to find out, volume 9 and 12 were on back-order. I waited over 4-6 weeks (like it said) and they still didn’t get any copies in! Then I wasted about a week cancelling them, and now I ordered them used for a cheaper price. So, that is why I haven’t been posting. I have also been busy working on a new house that my parents got. Since it hasn’t been lived in for a few years, there are a lot of problems. But everything is fixable, just a pain in the butt. Whenever I’m not working, I’m being lazy, since I have no manga to read. I guess I could watch Sailor Moon…

Anyway, this year I start school August 19th. (I think :P ) I’m going to be in highschool, and I’m just a bit excited because my Dad said that the food their is better than the one in my middle school when he went. I also had…SUMMER HOMEWORK!!! That’s right! I haven’t even been in the class and I already got homework! I have yet to finish it, but there is not too much more to do.

 

And back to manga, I made a Shelfari to keep track of ‘em all. So I’m going to be updating that and putting it on here.

Manga I’ve Been Reading: 4

Posted in Manga on June 27, 2011 by ravenjane

Vampire Knight Volume 6-8

Vampire Knight is still as amazing as ever! It’s hard to explain what happens in volume 8 without giving things away, so I’ll just say that you learn more about Yuki’s past…and her relationship with Kaname!

 

Bleach Volumes 16-22

Bleach, like Vampire Knight, is still amazing. I can’t stop reading it! It is impossible to put down! The Rescue Rukia arc ends in volume…20 or 21 I believe, then on to a new story! By the way, Bleach volume 22 is my 200th manga!!!

 

Toriko Volumes 1-3

Toriko definitely makes it into my Top 10 Manga list. But let me warn you: DO NOT READ THIS MANGA IF YOU ARE HUNGRY!!! This manga is about bunches of tasty food, and the person who is trying to find the best to put into his full-course meal, Toriko!

 

Fushigi Yugi Vizbig Volume 6

My collection of the vizbig editions of the FushigiYugi series has came to an end…I have finally reached the finale of Yuu Watase’s fantastic Shojo manga, and it is great. Any fan of Shojo manga will love this. Even I, a person who prefers Shonen, includes this series into their Top 10 Manga.

Manga I’ve Been Reading: 3

Posted in Manga on June 8, 2011 by ravenjane

Bakuman Volume 4 & 5

 

I’m not done with volume 5, since I just got it today (since it just became available today).  But volume 4 has probably been the most exciting volume yet! With every volume that comes out, it is better and better! I always get excited while I read Bakuman, since my dream is to become a manga artist as well. I have learned a lot from this series, and forget about what I said about D. Gray-Man being my 2nd favorite series. This one is. (Dragon Ball/Z ALWAYS comes first :D ).  The only thing that sucked about it was waiting months to get it. (volume 3 came out in February, and 4 in May >:() But I only had to wait a month for volume 5, and for 6, that comes out in August. :(

 

Gurren Lagann volume 1

Afte watching the anime for a while, I seen this in the store and thought that I better start reading the manga as well. I really enjoyed it, and get this: One of my friends read it! She never read a manga before, and she was bored one day at school. She had no interest in manga whatsoever, but she asked if she could read it anyway. She fell in LOVE with it! I had to start sending her the links of the anime episodes on Youtube! How about that? If people would actually read manga, rather than just sit around critisizing it, they would love it! Even the jocky football players could read Eyeshiled 21! (Oh no, I’m getting off topic :P )

 

Bleach volumes 11-15

  

And again, Bleach keeps getting more interesting by the volume. Still on the saving Rukia arc, though. I’m waiting for my order from Borders.com to come in, because part of that order contained volume 16 of this series. 2 of my books are on back-order, though. And of course, they are Dragon Ball Z >:( Why do I have to wait for it??? Put the others on back-order, or I’ll get the Withdrawal of DBZ Disease! (long story) ((crap, I need to start paying attention and staying on topic!)

 

I’m also expecting Fushigi Yuugi Vizbig Volume 6, Dragon Ball Z Volumes 9-12, D. Gray-Man Volume 11, and Bleach Volume 16. (I think that’s all of them). I already purchased volumes 13-16 of DBZ though. Borders never has the volume of DBZ that I need! But, of course, the store is closing, after I get so far in the series, which they have the later volumes of. :( So now I will either have to ask my parents to drive me all the way up to Morgantown to go to Barnes and Noble or just order every single manga I need from the internet. I hope they put a new bookstore there, though…one that has manga…

Manga I’ve Been Reading 2

Posted in Manga on May 26, 2011 by ravenjane

I haven’t been on in a while, so there is a lot…

Bleach volumes 5-10

  

Bleach is a great manga, with very awesome characters! The plot gets more story added to it, which is way better than the beginning when it was just new story after new story containing Ichigo killing hollows. Volume 9 starts the plot of Ichigo needing to get inside the Seireitei, which is season 2 of the anime.

D. Gray-Man volumes 5-10

 

Like I said before, D. Gray-Man has always been interesting. After reading it up to the 10th volume, it has become my 2nd favorite series! (of course, Dragon Ball is ALWAYS first! ^-^) So many things happen…AND THE NOAH SHOW UP!!! :D

Dragon Ball Z volumes 6-8

Dragon Ball is always first…*dreamy sigh*. I am a big fan of the DBZ anime, and the manga is waaay better! It started off in Dragon Ball with a lot of perverted jokes…you’d call it an action-comedy. Now, it’s just all action. I have to say that I miss the old jokes, though. :( But it’s still a great read!!!

Manga I’m Reading: 1

Posted in Manga on April 25, 2011 by ravenjane

I seen a blog that had a “What I’ve Been Reading” on it. So, I decided to start my own!

Vampire Knight v. 5

  I’ve really liked the series from when I started at volume 1, and this one is no exception! I read as much as I could till I was tired and couldn’t read anymore, and when I woke up, I started until I finished! That must tell you how good it was! Anyway, remember how Zero decided that he was going to kill Shizuka Hio in volume 4? Well, someone else beat him to it, yet he is getting blamed! Here’s a hint: Her killer is a pureblood vampire!

Rurouni Kenshin (VIZBIG) v. 3

Rurouni Kenshin has always been a great read for anyone who is a fan of samurai manga.  The 3rd vizbig edition contains volume 7 through 9. (I know, I’m too lazy to get he individual volumes XD) This volume has a lot of great scenes and battles. But mostly bloodshed battles. When Kenshin goes into full Hitokiri Battosai mode and he is fighting Saito Hajime, yeah, it’s gonna be a bloody battle. Especially when the only person who can stop the fight is someone from the same era!

Bleach Volumes 3 and 4

After just starting the manga Bleach to catch up to what’s happening, I’m really enjoying the series to this point. The first three volumes were pretty much an introductory to Ichigo. But volume 4 starts new characters being added, such as Don Kanonji, and Uryu Ishida. In the beginning of the volume, Kon narrates a part of his life, so that’s interesting to his fans (if he has any XD).

D. Gray Man v. 4

D. Gray Man has always been interesting to me, but I had set the series aside after getting volume 1. Well, it’s the same thing with Bleach, how I need to catch up. I couldn’t put any of the volumes down, including this one! Vampire attack! A new character is added, Arystar Krory, and he is a *vampire*. He appears as a vampire, but Lavi thinks differently! He has been killing only people who are Akuma! Is that a coincidence or what?

Well, that’s the manga that I have been reading recently! Oh, and I got the new NGE movie! Evangelion 2.22 You Can (not) Advance! It’s an awesome movie! ^-^

Mission 38: Total Security 2011 Virus

Posted in School, Trip, Uncategorized on April 20, 2011 by ravenjane

Anyone have this virus before? It is a fake virus thing that pops up on your computer and says that you have, like, 32 viruses. It is a scam to get you to buy the product. It has been harming my computer for the past several days now, and we just now got rid of it. I hope. I still am not for sure how I got it, though! I haven’t downloaded anything for a while, but my mom said that sometimes banners on certain websites and hurt it. Anyone know how? Cuz’ I sure don’t. This past few days have been making me angry, because of this stupid virus.

Anyways, I was a cow in my school’s variety show. And also, we are having a field trip to Washington D.C., to the Holocaust Memorial Museum…or something like that. We have to be at school at 4:30 in the morning tomorrow, which really sucks. Should I sleep some, or should I drink a monster?
