Ah so many manga, so little time/money/time ugh! Most of the time I only buy a new manga volume when I have a� coupon, but alas, I am between coupons. So I had to, gulp, pay full price! Oh well, I really had little choice. Fruits Basket Volume 7 and MegaTokyo Volume 3 just came out. Both of these are likely to sell out their consignment at my local Borders, so I picked them up today.
Since most manga sell for anywhere from $7 to $10 per copy, the costs add up quickly so I seek discounts whenever I can. The best discount I’ve encountered so far are the 25% off coupons I get via email from Borders. Just get on their mailing list to get these. Here are the series I’m following right now (in no particular order).
Tsubasa
xxxHolic
Fruits Basket
Comic Party
Boys Be
Negima
MegaTokyo
Suikohden III
I read a lot of other books and manga in between along with tech books and magazines, but the series above are the ones I look forward to. Note MegaTokyo is a web manga which can be read for free, but I discovered it in bound form first and I like Fred so I keep buying them. I also like being able to read a big chunk of the story collected together along with the liner notes so to speak.
