End of February Haul




I originally planned on posting this earlier, but things have been busy lately. Had some problems that needed taken care of and never got around to this. I picked up 5 volumes of xxxHolic manga last week from Barnes and Noble, and decided to finally get myself a membership since I plan to buy a lot more from there. Now, I'm up to date on the English xxxHolic releases so far. Been eying up quite a few manga series lately.



Also a couple days ago my Riiana picked up an issue of OtakuUSA for me, it's pretty decent. It has a fold out Gurren Lagann poster in it. Also picked up Chocobo Tales and My Japanese Coach for the Nintendo DS. I know I'm already using iKnow for learning Japanese but I figure every little thing I can do to strengthen my knowledge will be useful. I'm waiting on Nendoroid Yoko to arrive by early next week as well. I apologize for such a short post after a long wait but there will be plenty more soon.

I like Otaku USA. Even though it doesn't have the big spreads like in Newtype USA before it shut down, Otaku USA is a great read. I've been taking a break from xxxHolic to read Gunsmith Cats.

My Japanese Coach somewhats help learning some Japanese. I do say it also helps by watching the subbed version of an anime and then watch a raw version.
Still...nice haul!!!!!!

Q - posted pictures as requested ^^

Lightosan - Holic is indeed strange, but it fits me perfectly, I really enjoy it.

WanderingMind - I do like OtakuUSA, I might actually subscribe to it now. Haven't read any of Gunsmith Cats, how is it?

meronpan - I'm enjoying xxxHolic quite a bit, it certainly is a unique sort of series. Yeah, will be moving to wordpress soon, now that things are starting to get less hectic hopefully the move will be done by the end of the month or sooner.

Rin - I'm using every method I can get my hands on, watch raws, read books, use iKnow, and DS games when I can find them. I think using several methods is quite effective, some things work better for others though. I need all the help I can get XD

Snark - Should be up by tomorrow, or by the end of the weekend for sure.

Blowfish, thanks for the heads up ^^ I just posted and mentioned it, Riiana says she's proud of it ^^

xxxHolic is an AMAZING win! I'm so impatient waiting for the next volume! I just love that series. I've been debating that Japanese Coach game for a while. Do you consider it worthwhile?
