RANDOM THOUGHTS FROM THE FLOOR OF A CHAPTERS

1. WTF, you have volumes four through twenty of Eyeshield 21, but not the first three? FAIL.

Oh well, it's a Viz release. It probably sucks anyways. =/

2. Why would anyone in their right mind want to buy a Naruto art book? Kishimoto's art is decent at BEST.

3. Look, I realize I'm not the target audience. I'm male, adult, and I like my manga with punching up ins and not so much the boring romance plots and sparkles.

But, regardless, I'm appalled that Shojo Beat magazine felt that this monstrosity was a good choice for cover art.

Seriously, it's horrifying. Someone better have lost their job over this. Christ.

I hate being behind, but I really just can't stand reading manga on the computer. The series I read scanslations of are mostly series where most of the people I know do read the scanslations, and assume everyone's up-to-date, so it's mostly anti-spoiler preservation. The exceptions are D.Gray-Man and Claymore, where I read a volume and couldn't wait to see what happened next.

I've peeked around a teeny bit and noticed some Lucy/Natsu and Ezra/Gray stuff, but that's about it. I assume there's Natsu/Gray out there, as it fits the standard slash trends, but I haven't seen it. (Nor do I want to.)
