It makes his dialogue even funnier. <br /><br />That's awesome that you've kept up the series in Japanese. I can read the alphabets, but I am struggling with kanji. I have a great deal to learn about the grammar, as well.SilverMuse603https://www.blogger.com/profile/08148934034894786832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105799931107229707.post-10598751329604038482012-02-02T21:24:31.947-06:002012-02-02T21:24:31.947-06:00Seriously, Usui is delicious.

I bumped it up on my reading list after reading this review. I'm in Chapter 48 right now, and I love it! I'm so sad that only the first eight volumes were released here! :( I will definitely be collecting them though. Then I suppose I will just have to sit tight and hope that someone snatches up this license again someday...<br /><br />(I have so much love for Usui!)SilverMuse603https://www.blogger.com/profile/08148934034894786832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105799931107229707.post-47812864444883611692012-01-03T00:35:33.764-06:002012-01-03T00:35:33.764-06:00Same here.

Where I am, family and friends, they all shake their heads sadly at my manga obsession (even my daughter who got me hooked), so hooking up on-line with other fanatics is actually a thrill for me.<br /><br />If you like fanfiction (for Skip Beat! and Tokyo Crazy Paradise), go <a href="http://askthers.blogspot.com/2011/07/fanfiction-skip-beat-unconventional.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://askthers.blogspot.com/2011/08/fanfiction-tokyo-crazy-paradise.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> respectively.Stephanie Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772217449161603561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105799931107229707.post-59631078674213368442012-01-02T23:58:45.223-06:002012-01-02T23:58:45.223-06:00This one has been on my "To Read" list f...This one has been on my "To Read" list for a while. It's long, and I'll get to this one eventually. <br /><br />The whole Tokyopop business (or rather, lack of business) thing is so sad! I read everything online first, but I work diligently to collect my favorites! And even some that would fall into my own "Certain Appeal" category. But I'm so torn as to whether or not to try to get the ones that Tokyopop left unfinished. On one hand, I desperately want to collect them, but on the other, I know they'll never be finished here... So far, there are really only two that fall into that category: Shinobi Life (which I've only recently read and fallen for) and Gakuen Alice (one of my absolute favorites). I really, really hope someone grabs them up! <br /><br />Haha, are you sick of my incessant comments? I'm really glad I stumbled across this! Your reviews are fun to read. :)SilverMuse603https://www.blogger.com/profile/08148934034894786832noreply@blogger.com
