Manga musings

[aviatrix]

I occasionally stop by the local bookstore to read... Er, browse various manga. ^_^; The ones I've been keeping up with lately include Fruits Basket, Prince of Tennis, Boys Before Flowers (which I actually find kind of off-putting at times, but it's like a soap opera; I have to find out what happens next).

I was also checking out the manga version of FMA today (Al seems a little more girl crazy in the manga; at least, in the silly mini-comic strips at the end of the manga, heh).

Anyways... Accidently ran into a major spoiler for Fruits Basket tonight. ^_^; Come to think of it, I ran into a different one for Furaba about a month ago as well... And both involved Akito. D'oh! (Reminds me how miffed I was when I accidently found out who Pride was in FMA... :P)

Oh, well. The hazards of trawling the internet... (And both Furaba spoilers do explain a lot...)

Hana Yori Dango/Boys Before Flowers is pretty okay, but I like MARS and Marmalade Boy better for teen soap opera manga. XD

I've read the entire translated script for Marmalade Boy, but never actually read the manga. ^_^; I'll have to check out MARS next time...

It always shocks me how large the manga sections in bookstores have gotten; a few years back, they would've barely filled a single half-shelf, let alone an entire floor-to-ceiling shelf. O_o;
