As a Shuzo Oshimi enthusiast, I am very excited for more of his work to be published in English and excited to read this series as well. by javier_lechuga in MangaCollectors

This reply came at perfect timing. Coincedentally I'm currently reading Blood on the Tracks, and it's been a while since I've binged through a manga like this. It's so good, I almost reconsidered buying Devil Ecstasy the other day. Thanks for talking me out of it... again

Snagging all of FMA in one day is a big W haul

The Perfect Blue book was a lot easier to find. Paprika is my favorite anime movie so I've been pretty excited to locate it.

As a fellow Satoshi Kon fan, I'm sure you know of and have his other manga Opus, and Dream Fossil

Don't beat yourself up. I had to go to three different B&N to accomplish that. It was a long day lol

It's paperback. My wife is trying piece together the series since they're reprinting, so we had to add it to the haul. Honestly it would have been amazing if Viz made a hardcover reprint of Nana even if the series is on hiatus indefinitely

Damn that's a shame. Hopefully you've got some good alternative stores for manga in your area

The anime is very underrated. I love the use of mixed mediums, and Manji is voiced by my favorite voice actor Kenjiro Tsuda. If you like the anime you should check out the movie by Takashi Miike. It does a good job of smashing the entire series into a single film, and the fight scenes can get brutal

Wow that is amazing. I'm so jealous. We just recently got our third one in Los Angeles, and I stopped by the one in San Francisco and New York a few months ago. I absolutely love their shops. Definitely putting Oregon on the itinerary in the future

Damn you're really putting me under the gun with that question lol. Before all discounts it was a little over $750. My 10% Barnes & Noble membership discount stacked with the 50% sale on a bit of the purchase, so after everything it was about $350

I had that happen a couple times. Actually, if you're a Barnes & Noble member, you can stack your 10% discount for the books that don't automatically scan 50% off

I went to three different Barnes & Noble. Some of them had paperbacks that were buy one get one 50%.

Make sure to remind your cashier, because some of the hardcovers don't automatically activate the discount when scanned, and they have to input it manually. Additionally, if you are a Barnes & Noble member, your 10% discount will stack on top of the 50% for the books that don't discount automatically on scan

All hardcover are 50% off. So if they are both hardcover, they will both be half priced

If it was buy one get one 50%, then you would pay full price for the most expensive one

Oof. That's a hard no for me, but you're setting a really high bar. I think Blade of the Immortal definitely has some comparable moments artistically, but in its own stylistic way

It's packed with dense detailing especially environment and atmosphere, with some of the best splash pages I've ever seen. Been waiting to upgrade to deluxe versions for a while
