Sorry, the dynamic GAR twin-combo from TTGL. Someone has usurped your throne.

I’ve no idea how or why I picked up Eyeshield 21, and why I even marathoned more than 280 chapters from scratch to the current latest release in 3 days. But since I have already done it, I figured that I might as well come up with a short post regarding it.
As with almost every series, I have a favourite character, be it the main hero, the sidekick, the villian, or the love interest. Till now, I think I have never had an anti-hero as my favourite, probably due to my lack of exposure. In Death Note, I favoured L over Light. In Code Geass, my dislike for Lelouch goes as far as my dislike for gay boy Suzaku.
The storyline is so random and vague, it totally rocks.
Here’s why it rocks:
1. Chainsaws are cool, although dumb weapons. A mysterious man armed with this ups the fun.
2. A beautiful girl, Yukisaki Eri who battles the above said doubles the fun. What more can you ask for in a battle between the two, full of pantyshots mixed with violence?
3. The original story’s done by the guy behind NHK ni Youkoso, Takimoto Tatsuhiko. His first novel, to be exact.
I’ve finally completed all 338 chapters of this high school baseball series, and it was certainly worth my time, even if it meant pushing back my assignments for a couple of days.
As usual, Adachi Mitsuru doesn’t disappoint with his usual style that remains the same from Miyuki. Chapters that begin with random sceneries, cold/lame humor that for some reason or another I find funny, and very simple clean art.
Here’s a sum up of the story with all the nitty gritty filtered out.
This happened to be my first Amazon Japan order using my own money, and also the biggest package I received from Amazon Japan too.
Before this, I had to approach my parents each time I wanted something from an online store. It was really inconvenient, especially since there was the possibility of them rejecting, saying “Didn’t you just order something recently?”
A peek at the loot right after the break.
Somehow, I stumbled upon High School Of The Dead, and I was glad that I did. I’ve always been looking for manga or anime that has a storyline flowing along the lines of the zombie outbreak ever since I became a fan of zombie flicks a couple of years ago, but I never seemed to be able to find any. Somehow, High School Of The Dead slipped under my radar until a couple of days ago, when I read it by sheer random luck.
There was a Kinokuniya 20% sales for members, so I decided to pop by and grab some reading materials.
I wanted to get the latest Dragon Magazine, but unfortunately, Kinokuniya doesn’t stock it. The other unfortunate thing is that the latest issue of Dragon Age doesn’t contain a new FMP Sigma chapter, so I decided to pass on it. Instead, I purchased a copy of Dengeki Bunko, since there are some nice goodies included with it.
So, school has started for a week and there’s the dreaded thing knowing as travel time. I spend almost 2 hours to get to and to return from school, so the best thing to do with that time is to read some manga. I’ve only been seriously learning Japanese for slightly more than half a year (those lessons by the Polytechnic don’t count, they were a waste of time), so my speed of reading is really slow. What some people could have completed in a couple of days, I took slightly more than a week.
However, lamenting about how slow I’m reading isn’t the point here. Talking about Full Metal Panic Sigma is.
I was looking through Tokyopop’s website, searching for the details and release date of Battle Royale Ultimate Volume 2, when I noticed something ironic.
