Summer Lookout

Barnes and Nobles (if you can't already tell how avid a member I am of it) is having some great deals on manga Pre-orders! There's so much that I'm keeping an eye out for to snag at practically 50% off 8D

Here's the first bit of news to share... B&N has now started incorporating "Manga Mondays", where they take 50% off the cover price of the first volume of 3 random series every week!! So this is pretty exciting haha.

Not only that, but there are a lot of preorders in the summer or fall time that have been marked DOWN DOWN DOWN. Here's a list of stuff that I'm looking forward to :'D

• Yotsuba&! Volume 11
  Cover: $11.99....... Now: $6.49
• Oresama Teacher Volumes 9-10
  Cover: $9.99......... Now: $5.67
• Bakuman Volumes 12-13
  Cover: $9.99......... Now: $5.67
• Otomen Volume 13
  Cover: $9.99......... Now: $5.67

Oh yeah, and I spotted something extremely convenient and AWESOME that B&N was planning to sell. Pokemon Adventures BOX SETS. Yeah, that's right. For Black and White as well. It doesn't stop there. They're all 50% off too. AWESOME.... I'm biding my time though. I wanna see what's included and what it looks like. They come out in August anywho, no rush ;] BUUT... I've definitely been waiting for something this convenient!

Buying manga has never been so exciting!! 8D

The Mid of March

I just received 13th Boy Volume 10 by SangEun Lee today.
It's a really nice volume (but there's only 2 volumes left >:)
Just as I was about to go along with the plot twist, I've been turned back to original path.
Oh man, and do I feel anxious! Haha =D Really, these kind of things, you just have to enjoy!

I also have Shin Megami Tenshi's Devil Survivor 2 coming in the mail, should arrive when the weekend is over. So... yup! I bought this guy at the full $30. Too be honest, I don't buy games very much anymore, and when I do, I invest, BIG TIME. Why do I bust out the big cash so rashly??? Haha, oh well, maybe because I can't wait any longer to find it cheaper. However I'm fairly frugal with comics, haha xD

GAAAH!!!

I WANT THIS BUY THIS NOW:

I can't read Japanese, but I'm LOVING IT!!! D: I LIKE THE COLOR REEED.

50% Off Kid's Books Sale!?

So B&N had a 50% off kid's books sales, and that was the push that got me to buy POKEMON ADVENTURES!!
I'm buying the Platinum/Diamond/Pearl Arc first, and I'll buy the rest next time there's a fantastic sale (or bundle deal) But I'm on a little strike against the first few arcs of the series because they did some alteration jobs on it PLUS they're not planning on translating my FAVORITE arc, the Ruby/Sapphire chapter. Which, I think all PokeSpe fan around the world agree, was one of the best (and they were all pretty freakin' fantastic.)

Bought the first five volumes of the PDP Arc (the fifth is a PreOrder) and uhh... within 3 days, they're now on my bookshelf =] (+4 manga to the count) $4 per volume, no shipping and handling costs. BRILLIANT. I quite adore my B&N membership.

Renewed Membership

I just renewed my Barnes and Noble membership last week. And I dare say, it's freaking fantastic enough for me to pay for it myself ;] Only $25, I SAVE so much with it (especially on shipping&handling)

Not only that, I snagged myself Otomen Volume 11, BRAND SPANKIN' NEW for about $5. SUH-WEET COUPONS OF HOLY MATRIMONY----YESS!!! >:'D It has arrived at my doorstep and it is aweesoome.

PLUUS. A little tidbit for B&N manga lovers. Check out your favorite series and take a gander at the upcoming unreleased volumes. Preorders tend to have some nice discounts attached to them. For example, I was looking at some of my lower priority manga Oresama Teacher and Bakuman. And I noticed volume 9 and 12 respectively were only $5.67 EACH. Okay, that sounds great, but you gotta understand... VIZ doesn't put discounts on their manga for ANYTHING. They have a nice flat rate with all their manga: $9.99 and that doesn't change, ANYWHERE. Other publishers have tons of discounts, but that's because their manga have higher cover prices, so... It's PRETTY fantastic.

Sure, I have to wait until summer before I get them, but they're cheap NOW and I'm gonna buy them eventually. I sure do love my manga to be less than $6~ 8D
