I'm a glutton for punishment. On top of all the other series I'm currently following (see above), I just picked up the first few volumes of Dragon Voice. I copy and paste the description thusly:

14-year-old Rin Amami is a gifted dancer who has been forced to give up his dream of becoming a singer like his mom because of his deep, frog-like voice. A chance encounter with the idol singing group Beatmen, however, gives him the opportunity to bring his old dream to life.
Despite its oddness, his voice possesses a certain charisma: a captivating power, recognized by some as the legendary 'Dragon Voice.' Rin's destiny becomes intertwined with the Beatmen, Shino, Goh, Toshi, and Yuhgo, as the smalltime idol agency RedShoes attempts to take them to the top!

So I read that, and my first reaction was, "So... the premise is what would happen if Tom Waits joined the Backstreet Boys?" And right there, I was doomed.

Once I've read the first few volumes I'll post a review.

Boy, you've got your shoujo bases covered, Tomocat. :)

I know what you mean about getting carried away Borders. I somehow always forget how expensive manga is. ("Comic books are cheap, right?" my subconscious says.) I've always been a binge-buyer at bookstores, but since I developed a manga habit, it's gotten much worse.

(WTG, Pip! :rollaugh: Is the manga for One Piece just as long as the anime?)

It is certainly better then the anime. (I subscribe to shonen jump) I think the voiceovers in the english anime is so bad! WTH man! *pant, pant* sorry, but I liked the comics so much that when the anime turned out so weird and different, I kinda freaked. :cool: But I'm cool now.

They only had two volumes of it at the BN that I was at.

And I'm really liking the anime, actually. It's silly! :rollaugh:

But then again, I like things that are just goofy. ;)

Today I have a bad way with words. I hope that if I have offended anyone, that they forgive me. I really love the One peice comics though, and the anime is exactly like it. Big props!.......exept for the voice overs. (heh heh)

One Piece is a pretty good series -- I have the first two volumes, and I really enjoyed them. If I ever run out of things to read/buy (HAH!), I'll try to pick up the rest of it.

Why do I say HAH! ? Because I bought a whole stack of manga last week (Dragon Voice 1-4, GetBackers 10, Fruits Basket 10, Wallflower 4) and I have easily about a half-dozen others on order. I can't even remember what all the titles are, which is really, really pathetic. I can't order or buy anything else until all my shipments come in. I know I've got the next volumes of Prince of Tennis and Saiyuki, and Yellow and Antique Bakery. But I know there were a few others I absolutely can't recall.

I'm pissing my raise away on manga, which doesn't seem like the sort of thing a responsible adult should be doing.

You got a raise!? K, that's it. I'm moving back home and getting my old job back! LOL

I'm not any better. I should be saving money to pay like, bills and stuff, but instead, I buy manga. LOL I almost bought v. 1 and 2 but exercised a LITTLE bit of restraint. ;)

I har you both. I should be saving up so that I can move out, and buy a car before I start college this fall. But no. I am saving up for an anime convention. They always have a really good selection of manga in the exhibition hall. :lol: I am so bad. :sweat2:

As raises go it's not earth-shattering -- we're talking an extra manga a week. And since I only have five more manga to buy this month... no, I still won't break even. Drat.

Yeah, sometimes "fun" completely wins out over "practical." But look at it this way: if you save up for a car, you'll be able to go out and buy more manga.

let's see now:

- Steel Angel Kurumi 1-5
- FLCL 1&2
- Cowboy Bebop #1
- Hellsing 1-4
- Battle Angel Alita 1-6
- Ghost in the Shell
- .hack Legend of the Twilight Bracelet 1-3

I think I've only read about half of those. Once I catch up on those I'll end up buying the rest of Kurumi, Alita and the second GITS (Man Machene Interface) plus I want to get Evangelion at some point as well as the .hack novels when they come out. If the Read or Die manga and novels ever get licensed I'll buy them in a heartbeat too.

TK,

Are you familiar with the Suikoden game that the manga is based around? I've been curious how the manga compares with the game...
