lol. yeah, but since he waits like SIX FUCKING YEARS between books, i have to go through the last one to get a reminder on the characters before i finally get to the new one. almost went back and read the last two, since he's doing the whole East Coast West Coast rivalry thing, but i'm lazy. and i already read the first 3 like 4 or 5 times.

Fuck that guy for making enough to spend six years on a book.

Sorry, that's the jealousy talking.

that's a great book. and written by a man whose native language was Polish. English was actually his THIRD language, after Polish and French. he's a fascinating character in his own right.

Over the weekend I went and bought:

20th Century Boys #3
Bloody Monday #1
Ikigami The Ultimate Limit #1
The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service #1
Maoh Juvenile Remix #1-4
Pluto #5
Tenjo Tenge (2 in 1) #2-3

And I was like "There. That ought to keep me busy for the rest of the month..."

And then I read all of them between Saturday and Sunday... :picard:

Also finished reading Freakonomics. That's a sweet book.

Here's my impressions of those manga series:
20th Century Boys - Amazing. My second favourite manga series (Monster is #1, ALTHOUGH I CAN'T FIND THE VOLUMES TO FINISH THE SERIES).
Bloody Monday - Tries to be intellectual, but doesn't quite make it. Probably won't continue the series.
Ikigami The Ultimate Limit - Interesting concept. The art style - while not bad - I feel like doesn't quite match the maturity of the writing.
The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service - Not sure if the development of the idea is up to snuff. Haven't decided if I will continue this one.
Maoh Juvenile Remix - Surprisingly good. Seems like it takes from a few other series, but does it better than they did.
Pluto - Awesome. Probably number #3 after 20th Century Boys on my list of favourite manga.
Tenjo Tenge - Enjoyable, but a little immature.

yeah, it's really interesting and i'd say it's really well written. Not an easy reading though

but i'm studying english, so i shouldn't look for easy ones, right? :lol:

I actually went to the book store to get that book, but the one copy they had the cover was all bent and fucked up. I'm ocd about the condition of my books.
