Could you read Negima and Gertrude soon? I’ve been wanting to check those out, but I want to see more opinions.

I’ve really enjoyed Tsukihime so far. It’s much better than the anime. Sgt. Frog is very funny too! Though I’m behind on that one. I got 5 volumes for Christmas/Birthday, but have had so many other of my regulars that I haven’t had a chance to get to them!

I’d be interested to hear what you have to say about Junk too. I got that for my husband, but haven’t seen any reviews on it yet.

Negima gets so many mixed reviews (love and hate)–another one wouldn’t hurt. With that one you could compare the anime and the manga.

I’d like to see reviews of the Boogiepop books you have there as well. That plus Tsukihime!

Good luck working through the mountain

You should review the Boogiepop novels, then you can send me the third one. Seriously, its not in stock anywhere and I’m desperate for a copy!

Anyway, all joking aside, I’d be most interested in reading reviews of any of the novels first, as it’s harder to find information or opinions on those than it is manga.

Wow! That’s an insane amount of goodies they give you. I wouldn’t mind reading a review on Nodame Cantabile.

You know it already, but Haibane Renmei is an absolute must-see, whereas Galaxy Railways is a good candidate for the last spot on your watching list (well, the cheesiness makes it sort of funny but it’s still quite dispensable).

On the manga side, you need to take a peek at Ichigo Mashimaro if you haven’t yet (I guess you’ve watched the anime already and liked it?).

What I want you to do is send me that copy of 888. I wish there was more. I wouldn’t mind getting that one for free.

@Julie - I guess I can take a look at Versus if you’re recommending it.

@Andrew F. - Yeah, I’ve been churning out reviews but the rate that I write them is slower than the rate that I get them. Plus I just got a crazy big package, which has created the great wall. I can try Ichigo Mashimaro (that’s actually one that I bought).

@Ash - Ok, Stellvia too.

@Galen - I started reading Stray Little Devil already because the cover is cool looking. I’ll try and check out the other ones you recommended too.

I really liked Pretty Maniacs and Imperfect Hero; I like Stray Little Devil, too. Pretty Maniacs is a follow-on series to Maniac Road, but deals with high school (club) fandom instead of the business of fandom like Maniac Road did. Imperfect Hero is about G-Green, part of a 5 color hero team, who is torn between his duty as champion of justice, and his duty to the team. Stray Little Devil is about a girl who gets drawn into a world defined in its conflicts, which she tries to resolve.
