How many of those are in English? *is curious*

Here's another strange one: Katana; a boy has the ability to see the spirit of a sword and can calm it by sharpening it. It's like XxXHolic with swords.

All of them, except 20th Century Boys and Say hello To Black Jack, which I got in Dutch. (which, ironically, makes it even harder for me to expand my collection, as my main source of manga is the American Book Centre)

The only full series I have is.. not what I'd call shelf worthy, but I never claimed to have the best taste

  • High School Girls
  • Kare Kano
  • Kodocha
  • Love Hina
  • Monster (this one is actually good though)

I have most of the NHK and Le Chevalier D'Eon manga series as well but stopped buying when I lost interest with the NA release dates.

I don't like getting anime in single volumes, so all the anime listed here are box sets:

When I (hopefully) get more money for Christmas, I'm going to buy more anime stuff. Probably going to save most of said money until the spring, when Evangelion 2.22, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, and the first volume of Durarara! will come out on DVD.

...Is it OK that even though the thread was supposed to be all about manga I don't have any manga, just anime? Whatever. 'Swhat I got.

[up] I would, except that it has way too many volumes. My limit is below 20 volumes, with FMA being an exception because I like it that much.

Negima is a definite keeper. Maybe skip the first volume or two though.

Speaking of Negima,I spotted the new 3-vol.s-in-1 Kodansha edition... with a new translation! It seems more than competent,but it's lacking the liveliness of the old one.

What's been added to my anime shelf since the last time I posted:

I've already preordered The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, and I'm anxiously awaiting its arrival.

I make room if I run out. Manga is the only thing on my bookshelf I actually touch, aside from games, so everything else can go in storage for all I care.

So I shelve everything.
