Seeing that this was a 'limited edition' got me excited too much to look back!<br /><br />Those two are compelling reasons but I'd not go out to get original (raw) mangas based on them. But I have bought a few translated mangas from Viz.<br /><br />Having physical copies is fine for a while but as the collection grows, I think it becomes a pain. After all, space is a factor too (at least for me)! Having said that, I wouldn't think twice before buying the licensed volumes of a few manga, if they were available in a softcopy format!Dharmesh Jainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16037295809424285269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352472244109896568.post-11003592301368607012012-01-30T03:12:46.151+05:302012-01-30T03:12:46.151+05:30I would consider buying the volume, but it looks l...I would consider buying the volume, but it looks like it is out of print on cdjapan. That may just be the special edition version though.<br /><br />It would be nice to support the author though. One of my least favorite things about stuff not getting licensed here is an inability to have physical copies of things. The other is probably not being able to support the original authors/writers. <br /><br />I am not sure what you think about those two things though. If I may ask, why did you ultimately decide to import the volume?<br /><br />"It sounds like you're speaking from personal experience!"<br /><br />A little bit I guess, I have definitely seen that kind of thing happen in real life at least. Some pets do seem to be oblivious to the amount of pure rage they cause.Babycowlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15490017522204975933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352472244109896568.post-5666343098780739002012-01-28T06:44:36.497+05:302012-01-28T06:44:36.497+05:30Ya...

Ye...Ya... I wasn't expecting it to be so easy!<br /><br />Yes... you should definitely buy that volume. There's an exhilarating feel to holding a brand new manga volume! Also, most of the Sketchbook strips are understandable despite the language barrier. There's a full-page strip where Sora 'teaches' Natsumi how to be 'sophisticated'... Single pages like that make having a physical copy worth it! :)<br /><br />I'm afraid of ruining it too! So am not going to use it either...<br /><br />Yes, that would be quite terrifying. It sounds like you're speaking from personal experience!Dharmesh Jainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16037295809424285269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352472244109896568.post-27866366906239314302012-01-28T02:26:46.964+05:302012-01-28T02:26:46.964+05:30That does look really cool.

I like how it is surprisingly easy to import stuff from cdjapan. <br /><br />"Next would be the President and then finally, we’ll see Ooba as the Cover-girl."<br />I am not really holding out hope for Ohba to get her own cover since she is still so obscure. I figure that it is probably more likely for the teachers to have one (as you said). That being said, if she does have a cover to herself, I guess I would be morally obligated to buy that volume.<br /><br />Do you have any plans for what you will be doing with that tote bag? I would be afraid of ruining it if I actually used it for something.<br /><br />As for the comics themselves, I think that the Kuro/Inuo kind of altercation is pretty common in real life. From what I can tell, things are considerably less fun when you happen to have the dog that innocently makes all the other ones go nuts.<br /><br />Anyhow, sorry for rambling there.Babycowlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15490017522204975933noreply@blogger.com
