I just got Ayashi no cere volume 11 now.
X_X; Stupid barnes and nobles, morans didn't have full moon wo saggshite volume two. It was suppose to be released to day, according to the viz website. I bet boarders has it released already, why the hell can't Barnes and nobles treat every single non harry potter book equally? Like release them on the date they're supose to be release duh. rolleyes

Tokioka~ Lmao besides having five more proof reading, they should get someone that actually speaks Japanese and english proof read it too.

X_X; Tokyopop makes more mistakes than Viz. In Rayearth magical knights in the first volume they speak Cephiro 'Ciphiro' instead. X_X: They kept changing and they even mispelt the one of my the main charector's name too. X_X: They left out a u in 'Fuu.' stare

Then Tokyopop's first mangas released , like Sailor moon, cardcaptor Sakura, Gundum wing, and saint tail. They were all in poor condition! stare When you open the mangas too large, the damn pages would fall out. X_X; stressed

Before I started Northern Lights, I read My Story by Dave Pelzer. It's a really emotional and inspirational autobiography that I think most children should read so that they realise how fortunate their lives are. Definitely one of my favourite books.

@ DASG: Yeh manga in bad condition is always annoying, especially as I'm a bit of a perfectionist. When I go and buy manga I sometimes compare different copies of the same manga, just so I can get the best condition. sweatdrop From my experience of buying manga online, I found that some companies package it badly and you get creased and bent front covers, which sucks if you're proud of your manga collection and like displaying it.

hmm... okay never lend manga to some one you haven't known for more than a year. My friend she lent her manga collections to our anime club in school and more than $90 of her collection either came back in poor condition or just not come back at all. no one fessed up to it either.
@dasg: rofl the pages fell out rofl

Tokioka~ I haven't tried online shopping yet. I like the deals that other people get but then if I get ripped off or if there is some sort of defect. I can't go up to the person in-person to complain to them.

Yalie~
My sailor moon stars volume three, the pages fell out. X_X: It was thanks to some moran opening it too damn wide. I pretty much snapped at the idiot that reading it. X_X: I knew them for over a year too..

I say its better to force people to sign a contract before lending them anime/or/and/ mangas. Then you can make them all pay. twisted If I was your friend, I would have literally forced all of the deadbeats at the anime club to pay retribution. 3nodding
