Just found out about some manga called Uzumaki: The Spiral Obsession today. It's horrifying, disgusting, and generally illogical, but... I can't stop reading.

To be fair, the anime butchered a lot of the content of the Light Novels.

[spoiler]Not that it was stellar in the novels, mind you, but still.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]J.C. Staff managed to butcher this AND Shakugan no Shana. And pretty much anything else they've worked on.

I think they're doing Kaichou wa Maid-sama! this season which makes me a little sad; it's horribly cliche (in the "didn't I see Special A already?" kind of way) but ... to be honest, I <3 Misaki. Though, I haven't actually watched much of the anime yet so who knows if it's butchered the story already.[/spoiler]

opened in my nearest mall.

It quickly put the other book and DVD stores in that mall out of business. I don't mind, manga for $5 is alright with me. But one DVD store that was put out of business was mostly anime, and I have yet to see a store that can rival its collection.

But hey, I finally got Genshiken volume 2. None of the big bookstores were carrying Genshiken, and it's the only manga I want to buy right now. It's a breath of fresh air as far as its genre goes, at least in how realistic it is.

There's a store by my college that deals mostly with anime figurines and model kits and stuff, but I know they have Genshiken 3, and I might withdraw money from my last $50 until someone hires me to get it.

蟲師, again. Easily my favourite manga of all time. The anime got fansubbed, but I don't think there's an English release of the manga out - if you can read Japanese I can't recommend it highly enough.
