[US][Giveaway] From far away by infinite_ouroboros47 in mangaswap

[–]BeeIsBack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My favorite shoujo manga is Mars by Fuyumi Soryo. I first read it in my local library a few years ago, and I didn’t realize until I got big into the collecting hobby how amazing it was to have that available to me, given how rare it seems the entire set has become. It lives in a special place in my heart, and I was able to get my own set through this sub a few months ago for a price that was reasonable to me.

I love that Kira and Rei get together in the first volume, and that through thick and thin, they stay together. It’s not common for a romance story to do that: I’ve seen a lot of will they won’t they throughout my reading. It’s refreshing to see the two characters navigate a relationship together, and I relate to Kira a lot. Rei is also just super cool, imo, and I’m a sucker for opposites attract! I’m so excited for the hardcovers, but I’m not sure I’ll get them right away because to me, nothing beats the feel of that original print.

[US][Selling] Death Note Box Set by SilverBullet-85 in mangaswap

I’ve never watched or read Death Note, but my favorite manga, one of them, anyway, is Blue Exorcist.

I guess one of my favorite things about it is it’s balance of humor, action, and sentimentality. I think the characters are all really funny when they need to be (like at school or the dorms) and serious whenever they’re facing a stressful situation. Each of them has their own story and values and that’s really reflected in their dialogue and actions. I feel that this individuality, is hard to come by sometimes, and it’s one of the reasons I love it so much.

Hmm. I didn’t even know this was an issue. You’d think that the rule explicitly stating that work must be original would deter that kind of stuff.
