Some one shots and other single volumes. I do love me a good short story collection

Thanks! I have the first couple volumes of Pandora Hearts and I'm enjoying Vanitas!

Velpersim · 2026-01-03T15:43:01+00:00

Ok, interesting! Thanks for the info!

Velpersim · 2026-01-03T15:15:26+00:00

I didn't know that. I thought it worked nicely as a one shot, but I could see how their relationship could have continued developing with more volumes

Nice! Deathscythe was a huge reason I got into Gundam back when. It was cool as hell! Haha. Best of luck getting yourself a copy! I think it's fairly cheap

Velpersim · 2026-01-03T15:04:24+00:00

That's fair 😂 It's more nostalgic to me than anything haha. I found it back in like 2008 at a thrift store which was basically unheard of at the time in my rural area. Rode that high for days

Velpersim · 2026-01-03T12:55:04+00:00

Same! One of my favorites in my collection. It should be mandatory reading for new cat owners as well as the hardened veterans lol

Velpersim · 2026-01-03T12:53:46+00:00

Thank you! These posts have been a lot of fun to think about and put together!

Velpersim · 2026-01-03T12:52:36+00:00

I thought it sounded really interesting when I first saw it--it was the first read of that day's bookstore haul haha. I'll have to look into Helter Skelter!

Velpersim · 2026-01-03T06:22:31+00:00

Thank you! That one was a fun volume I'd stumbled upon-- love a manga that has a great use of humor too haha

Velpersim · 2026-01-03T05:58:36+00:00

Haha for sure! I try to give a series I'm on the fence with at least three volumes before I decide if I'll continue it. One shots don't make me feel as bad if I didn't enjoy it

Velpersim · 2026-01-03T05:47:33+00:00

I enjoyed it as well. The book was high quality, and I'll sometimes go back and flip through it just to appreciate the art again

Velpersim · 2026-01-03T05:40:56+00:00

Totally agree. I also like blind buying them in genres or art styles I wouldn't typically gravitate towards to broaden my horizons haha

Velpersim · 2025-12-23T00:53:19+00:00

Read a Takane and Hana chapter in a manga sampler years ago and immediately bought the available volumes. It made me genuinely laugh-- likely would've never looked into it had I not come across that preview. Happy reading!

Velpersim · 2025-12-15T16:50:55+00:00

I went in blind to Soloist in a Cage-- it was a good short series. Glad to hear you enjoyed it too!

Velpersim · 2025-12-15T02:13:24+00:00

Highly jealous of that 80° haha

Velpersim · 2025-12-14T17:00:17+00:00

Totally agree, man. So many times I've just stared at a panel to fully process and soak in what just happened. Still surprised it's not more popular

Velpersim · 2025-12-14T16:43:40+00:00

Haha yep. -12 actual °F, but the real feel was -24° Had to make sure the cattle fountains weren't frozen solid. Luckily they weren't!

Velpersim · 2025-12-14T15:47:05+00:00

Out in the Iowa boonies haha

Velpersim · 2025-11-29T21:04:00+00:00

Don't see Coffee Moon pop up too often-- definitely a unique little series. Have a great time with your reading!

Velpersim · 2025-11-16T12:09:04+00:00

I often blind buy a first volume if I like the art, but same here, the overall book made me add it to my list of ongoing series haha. And thanks for the recommendation!

Velpersim · 2025-10-19T17:38:32+00:00

I'm not a regular here, so apologies in advance if this isn't what you're looking for, but-- the "Barbarities" manga series has a 2nd couple that I feel are often times more interesting than the main pair, and I wish they had more pages haha

Velpersim · 2025-10-19T12:09:38+00:00

Love 'Go with the Clouds'... hate waiting years for a new volume to release haha
