    Well, my collection has exploded in size since my last post to this thread almost a year ago. With the overall slower (yet regular) releases of many titles, I've found myself collecting more than I may have otherwise invested in. Still, I need to do some reevaluation on my spending habits and stall (or possibly drop) some series. In update from my old list...

    I've stalled my collecting of Bleach at volume 11. I'll continue collecting the series at some point, but for now I'm focusing on other things. DN Angel is similarly stalled, but in this case I'm waiting for more Japanese material to be released, then translated.

    I am current on From Far Away, Fruits Basket, and W Juliet. All three series are still on my active short list of titles I'm collecting. Both From Far Away and W Juliet will finish up in January 2007. I have yet to pick up volume 12 of Red River, but I'm essentially current on that series as well.

    I completed my collection of Girl Got Game, and I was rather disappointed overall. Had I known how it was going to end from the beginning, I probably would have put the money toward something else. I'm probably going to try selling this series, or donating it to the public library.

    Short List (new additions only)
    ----------
    Aishiteruze Baby
    Black Cat
    Crossroad
    Eyeshield 21
    Full Moon o Sagashite
    Fushigi Yugi: Genbu Kaiden
    Hana Kimi
    MAR
    Ouran High School Host Club
    xxxHolic

    Unfortunately for my wallet, there aren't that many people in my general area who have larger manga collections than I do (bookstores just don't count). Because of this, I am the lender rather than the borrower in nearly all cases.

    And now, for a fun little breakdown:

    Completed: 13
    Dropped: 4
    Stalled: 14
    Short List: 14
    Other Status: 13
    Total: 58 series

    I went to the library a few days ago and got YuYuHakisho mangas, it really is good, I really want to read the rest of the series!!!:D

    The only reason i went to the library was because i had no money to buy mangas so i had to borrow them by going to the library, so there!

    Hey, there's nothing wrong with borrowing manga from the library! In fact, I think it's pretty cool that your public library has manga available to the patrons. While I know this is becoming more common every year, it's still rare enough to find that it's worth noting.

    I wish there were more opportunities where I could borrow manga. I know my public library has some titles, but for the most part they are things I already own or am not interested in. Another difficulty I've discovered is that a number of the series they have do not start with the first volume; it's hard to get into a story if you're starting in the middle. Still, I was able to borrow Marmalade Boy and Alichino. It's also entirely possible that they've purchased more titles recently. It's been a while since I went to the library, after all.

    I'm still reading Naruto. Every week it comes out, I go and DL it.

    And I can still say so far I like all of the Akatsuki except the asshat Itachi. And glad to see Asuma back.

    I also read up to and through Volume 8 of Hellsing and...

    Gawd I love Hans Gunsche and Christ I miss Pip :(
