new favourite manga

[rev.tsukiyama]

(Well, actually manwa because it's Korean).

Under The Glass Moon by Ko Ya-Seong. It's a gothic lolita-y, humerous, magic & biseinen type thing. The artwork reminds me a little of parakiss.
And Madame Batolli is quite obviously based on Mana from malice mizer ^_^

Unfortunately, I'm so late getting on the bandwagon with this one, Tokyopop's already got hold of it, so no chance of free dl's. Oh well.

Okay. That's my flavour of the month.
Anyone else seen anything good?

Yay! I love this manga. I bought the first volume in English a couple of weeks ago and now I am waiting for my local comic shop to stock the next. I was kinda drawn to it because of the cover and then I flicked through and saw Mana and decided I must buy it even if the story is really bad.

in fact I love the story its very very tongue in cheek (I love the way Luka goes grocery shoping in complete leather fetish gear [img]biggrin.gif[/img] and the Lollita wedding dress at the end - I WANT!!!)

its really wacky and fun mingled with all the pretty gothy stuff.

as for my latest favourite mangas of the moment - well - delightfully enough one of them is Sakende Yaruze! which I understand will be scanlated here *dances* and the other is Yume no Kodomo.

I strayed from the hard core yaoi to the light sweet love story (with icidents of hot sex so no need to write me offf as a yaoi fan yet [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

Hey, I think UTGM might be available auf deutsch as well, on the grounds that on page 52 they forgot to translate "giftflanze mandragora" into english. >_< Bad tokyopop, no biscuit.

nijikon.net features that gothic lolita wedding dress on it's current layout. ^^

ooh i just bought a new manga called demon diary. i had never heard of it before and it looked a lil cheesy but i was bummed cuz they didnt have ne of my normal mangas. Turns out its really good! actually its good in a cute sorft of funny way. the intro pics kinda remind me of kaori yuki (thats why i got it). I actually thought it might be a clamp artist but nope, its korean. its pretty good.

oh and i had nothing to read yesterdat so i download all of the available downloads of penguin bros (which i thought looked lame as well, can you tell im not really a shojo fan, (but i am deep down inside i think)).

wow its one of the best shojo's i ever read. the girl isnt a wuss, who trips all the time and has to be saved, and cries all the time. its not even really romantic, its more of a criticism on rascim. i love it! and its only 5 vols long ^_^

[Lamasu]

Oh yes - Demon Diary is very sweet [img]biggrin.gif[/img] i wasn't sure how to swallow it to begin with it was kinda mad. but I found myself going around telling people at work "how dare you admonish me!" in a mock Kawaii voice - so I guess it affected me more than I realised.

It also proved my co- workers once and for all that something about me wasn't entirely right but *shrug* I am moving away soon so my restraints were down [img]tongue.gif[/img]

yep, UTGM is availaible in german as well ^^ bought it today since I went on a really mad shopping spree and saw it in the shop and remembered this post ^^
(thoughts: "glass moon.. glass moon thingy.. sounds familar.. where did I read about it... AH! yes! manga that has something to do with some mana-sama girl.. guy.. person.. thing, whatever!" <-- I should have looked for another brain as well, mine isn't exactly the best thing available I guess... [img]graemlins/whatever.gif[/img] )

I've spent 50 euros on mangas within only beeing in the shop for 4 minutes today... x_x; [img]graemlins/money.gif[/img]
now I only have to find the time to read all those new bought mangas ^^;;;

I've got another new favorite manga to throw into the list...

Ayatsuri Sakon. Lost-Heaven's doing scanslations right now, and Odyssey has done VHS fansubs up to episode 16, and I've heard horrible rumors that they've stopped, and if the horrible rumors are true, this might well be the incentive I've never previously had to do fansubs myself... I'd rather stick with manga, because you have a script to work from, but I'm that attached to this series. ^^;;

Anyone who liked Petshop of Horrors, go check out this series NOW.

No, I mean it. Right now.
Go.
Go on.
What are you doing still here?

There's an outrageously bishounen protagonist who could be the Petshop guy's long-lost twin, lots of mysteries/angst/horror, a smartass puppet, and the insanely bishounen protagonist gets voiced by Ogata Megumi in the anime! So WHY haven't you gone to look it up yet? It's even on MangaBot which you can get to from Sakura-Crisis.net's very own channel which you should also go check out right now (shameless plug).

Go on, shoo! Come back when you've read at least one chapter... if you can stop there... mwahahahaaa (hack wheeze choke) er um... yeah... ^^;;;

[rev.tsukiyama]

Thank God for google ^^.

Just found this-> http://www.clockworkvoices.com/mgallery.htm

It does indeed look promising, actually I think I saw it on the cover of jump once, but I dont buy jump. I've probably been missing out on a lot....

One thing, though, puppets are second only to clowns on the scary-scale. X[

[tenjou_sama]

Evil evil Risu-chan! Giving me more manga to download and obsess over XD

<~~~Downloading the files off MangaBot as we speak.

I'll probably end up adding these to my serve list as well XD

Edit: I've downloaded all the available chapters and read them...Waaah!! I want more [img]graemlins/cry_smile.gif[/img]

One more bit of motivation to go look up Ayatsuri Sakon, in case anyone needed it:

The art is done by Obata Takeshi. Also known as "the guy who draws the Hikaru no Go manga."

See, I TOLD you it was chock full of bishounen! ^__^ (go look it up already!)
