Manga


Yeah, don't have much to do today, I'm not in the mood for a couple of things I wanted to do, so I sat and started scanning my mangas covers. Boring, I know. I just needed something to do besides housework. (yeah, I'm a housewife when I'm not at work).

One of my pleasures in life is reading Japanese manga. I've even bought a few series. Most of them are yaoi (or slash as you prefer to called them, since for me it refers to the same thing, male x male relationships).

OK, on the licensed mangas I own (not scanlated, the actual books)

In the world of Japanese yaoi, I'm in love with three mangakas: Youka Nitta, Yamane Ayano and Hirotaka Kisaragi. In the world of non yaoi manga, I definitely love Saint Seiya, Trinity Blood and Vampire Knight. The two latter mangas will be with me next week.

So, onto my mangas:



I started buying the English version of the Saint Seiya manga. They changed some names and even the story starts changing at some point, so I stopped buying it.







These are the Saint Seiya mangas my dear friends [profile] didio  and [profile] muinteor  are sending me from Spain. It's in Spanish, but it's my series, the ones I fell in love with and they haven't changed anything, which is great.






I started collecting this one, but they couldn't bring it anymore at the manga shop.  I tried, beleieve me, I even contacted an Argentinian manga shop, but they still don't answer...*sigh* It'll be mine soon, though.





Nitta's mangas are more emotional, and more from the heart than the others. I mean, in every relationship she describes, there's true love and you can feel every thing the characters go through. Haru wo Daiteita (Embracing Love) is my most favourite manga; however, Boku no Koe (Sound of My Voice) has a very special place in my heart as well.

I'm waiting for the second volume to be released. In the mid-time, we're working on it at Love & Voice, making the scanlation *grin*

I'm currently waiting for another manga of hers to arrive ^^ "Casino Lilly" Pics when I have it with me.

Youka NItta also had a compilations of her Haru drawings in an artbook called "Kiss of Fire" which is mine already, ^___^













Kiss of Fire Artbook




The thing about Yamane Ayano, is that the woman can make you really feel the pain her characters fo through. Ayano is an expert on writing gangsters and tough stuff like that. The Viewfinder series are just WOW and after you start reading, you just don't want to stop.

Volume 3 is on its way ^^





And well, Hirotaka Kisaragi is one of those mangakas that catches you with only her drawings. This story Innocent Bird is WOW. It deals with an angel and a demon and the end of the world. Surprising ending and God, it's just wonderful.

Volume 2 is on its way ^^

Bueno, aunque hay algunos mangas de los que tienes que definitivamente no leería, he de decirte, al respecto de los de Saint Seiya que tengo los mangas de Saint Seiya en español por la editorial mexicana que los publicó.

Los 28 flamantes tomos, fascinante...

Sobre el Episodio G, tengo la edición argentina de los tomos 1-12, y recién ha llegado un amigo de aquellas tierras de donde me mandaron los tomos 13-21 (el último publicado por allá).

¡Pensé que viviendo en Sudamérica podría ser más fácil conseguirlos! ¿No puedes contactar a IVREA o alguna tienda de allá que te los pudiera mandar?

¡Saludos y fenomenal entrada de tu manga! ¡Creo que te robaré la idea para mi propio Journal!

¡Saludos y un abrazo a Colombia!

Bueno, de lo que tengo yo (5 tomos de Glénat, encontrados por pura casualidad XD) no es mucho porque mi loot es más que todo pura versión digital, hahaha XD

Aunque sí tengo que admitir que me da cochina envidia que tengas todos los tomos de StS... :3

¿Supiste que Kurusapo va a animar Elyssium? ♥

porque dices que la version norteamericana esta cambiada en la historia? si es verdad, tienen algunos nombres cambiados, pero la historia no la pueden alterar ari, por contrato.
te lo digo porque por mucho tiempo estuve trabajando adaptando mangas y se como se manejan las lisencias.
