Yeah, I've become addicted to manga. I NEVER thought that'd happen to someone like me, but I have. What I've got so far: Berserk: #1, 2, 3, 4 Hellsing: #1, 2, 3 Full Metal Panic: #1, 2 Excel Saga: #1, 2 RahXephon: #1, 2 I'm acquiring more with every paycheck too. I wonder if Berserk is EVER going to be completely translated though. Around 24 volumes and it's STILL going. Berserk is definitely my favorite, but Hellsing #3 kicked ass.

hehe that addiction is one I have under control.....unfortuanetly my avid buying of Games Workshop RPG games is out of control.

I only have Trigun and Trigun Maximum and Great Teacher Onizuka vol 1. Soo...not much of a manga addict then.lol More like a Trigun addict. I frickin LOVE that show and anything to do with it. So I got DVDs, fan books, art books, all the soundtracks...only thing missing is a Vash plushy... runs out of thread to order Vash plushy

I liked Manga and now I have bought Stand Alone Complex and the film, I have the addiction as well though it's controlled for the moment.

But do you have the Vash replica coat, Drive? Available in red or black.

Magic Knight Rayearth 1-6 Shirahime-syo Fruits Basket 1-11 Rurouni Kenshin 1-17 Chrono Crusade 1-6 Immortal Rain 1-6 MARS 1-5 Pretear 1-4 Alichino 1-2 Marmalade Boy 1 Record of Lodoss War: The Grey Witch 1-3 Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit's Tale 1-2 Shonen Jump Samplers: 1-2 Shojo Beat Samplers: 1-2 New Generation of Manga Artists: One of the volumes...heee...can't remember which Misc "How-to" reference books: 8 or 9 *shame* I...can't think of anything to say... help...

hehehe there is no help!

Drat. Oh well. Might as well dive in head-first then.

I have YuGiOh Vol. 1-6 and Sailor Moon Vol. 1. Not much, but it's a start.

Well, if you want to work on your collection, seeing as how you are in SA, TX, there's a FABULOUS Waldenbooks at the 1604 mall. The ladies there will search all of the boxes for one graphic novel that isn't on the shelf, but shows that it's in stock. Highly recommended.

What does a Vash replica coat look like?

I only have the BOTP manga comics.

After seeing Akira on Channel 4 (I think) than I was into Manga. I don't really have the addiction, just the Ghost In The Shell, Gatchaman and BOTP anime addictiona.

I've found out that most of my childhood cartoons were either from Japan or competing against anime (Centurions). My manga collection has ballooned. The college years really started a boom in my collecting. Text books kill your reading time. But no more! Now is the time to see if traditional books or manga win the battle of the shelves.

I prefer reading books than comics. I think the reasons is that you can imagine more if you see it in your mind and also, there are times that I can't read the speech bubbles or the narrative that well and using my visual aid (small telescope tot he layman) as I am partially sighted, then it kinda of spoils it for me.

Aaah. That would do it. I'm looking forward to starting on my "to read" list. It's HUGE.

LOL I am running out of books to read, just started the RA Salvatore books. Heard lots about them and ive already read 4 in the space of a month

His books are on the list. ^_^ My dad is a huge fan of Salvatore's books. I think he has most of them. I think. There are tons of them.

I didnt realise that the Neverwinter Nights games were actually based on the world in his books. Its quite funny to read them now and think "ive been there"

Actually, the books and the game are both based on Dungeon and Dragons' world, Forgotten Realms. Salvatore's books are in a collection of fantasy books by various authors. The only link between various authors (I think) is that they're all set in the Forgotten Realms. So pc gamers, table toppers, and avid readers are all reading about events in the same world. Neat.

It is rather isnt it I just found another author writing for the FG series too. Its seems a rather neat thing to operate around as an author.

Question for you Gatch gurus...I have the Trial by Fire, Destroy All Monsters and Blood Red Sky books. This may sound pretty dumb...but can anyone tell me for sure which comics are included in these? I'm thinking ... the Mark and Jason one shots, all 12 of the BOTP comic, and the Witchblade one...but I'm not sure... since I haven't gotten the Trial by Fire one in the mail yet...
