Hello everyone,
Finally after much waiting, the February 2011 manga shipment reached my home at 14:26 using EMS Courier!!!
I opened the package with haste and I got this result :
Great work as always in the packaging from the company I use to buy books from Japan (BK1), but let's leave this for later and let's go analyze each series I received!
Let's start with Seitokai No Ichizon (light novel series adapted into manga and anime), after a long wait the fourth volume with the Mafuyu cover is released.
High quality artwork as always, Mafuyu face looks really nice here. I like the manga style for this series more than the anime one to be truthful.
Let's go now, over one of the currently airing light novel/manga/anime series, Infinite Stratos with her beautiful Charlotte (France-Tan).
In the end I decided to pick its first volume to see my little China-Tan even when reading.
The artwork quality is pretty high level, and the content is equal high level (at least from the quick watch I've given). The release frequency seems very slow so it may take some time to get more volumes.
Now let's analyze another on-air series, this time it's the Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka turn! With all the crazy stuff happening in the anime I decided to pick up the manga too and see if it's any good.
The artwork quality is high and the style seems to be the same as the anime. Haruna looks pretty cute in the manga, I'm looking forward to read the content!
Let's now immerge ourself in the most consistent buy of this shipment. I picked up after long thinking, the first 17 volumes of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei...this has been one of the anime I most liked recently and I needed more stories while I wait for a possible fourth season!
The first 16 volumes features Nozomu Itoshiki artwork, but from the 17th onward we get the various girls of the story. This is one that I'll start reading today!!!
Influenced by Micchi (He picked it up lately), I decided to give Saki manga a try and here we are with all the released seven volumes!!!
The artwork looks very beautiful, more than the anime to be honest. I'm looking forward to see how the pictured my Koromo in the original!
Let's conclude with the series I'm most anticipating the manga for. Gosick (Six volumes) with our always cute Victorique that stole my heart!!!
The art style looks pretty different from the anime one, but looks cute enough. The style seems consistent through the volumes, but I'll know better when I'll start reading. (This is the other I'll start right away)
That's all for now,
