A Manga Filled Birthday

My birthday was today and to celibrate I went to Hastings and spent both of my gift certificates on manga. It was great I found a ton of used manga (only $4.50)and some titles that hadn't been in last week. So anywho here's what I got:

Ouran High School Host Club vol. 2: I promised myself I would try not to get ahead of the tv series but it was only $4.50 so I had to pick it up.

Fushigi Yugi Genbu Kaiden vol 1: I really liked this series when shoujomagic was scanslating it plus it was another used title.

Death Note vol 5: More fun with psychos and notebooks!

Earthian vol. 3: Only one more volume to go :)! I really like this series. It's really expensive though at $14.95 per volume.

The Week from Hell

Well I can officially say that this past week has been the week from hell. It started off with my hamster (Snowball) getting sick on Monday. He was loosing hair and being really sluggish. I sent him to the vet on Tuesday but by Thursday he passed away. That same day I came down with a cold (still sick). My brother also got sick on Tuesday or Wednesday and has been off work since then.

Summer Season

The summer season is coming up and with it are new shows (I haven't even finished shows from this season T_T). And it looks like there won't be as many shows as this season. But here are a few I'll be watching:
Kikoushi-Enma- The character designs look interesting. I just hope it has a good plot.
Demashitaa! PowerPuff Girls Z- It will likely be a generic magical girl anime but I need something to replace Pretty Cure. Plus it's PowerPuff Girls.
Honey & Clover 2- I loved the first season and the extra episode so I'll defenitly be watching this.
Otogi Jushi Akazukin- Liked the first series so I'll be watching this as well.
Chevalier- I know nothing about this show but the character animation looks good. And it's set in France (I think).
Well that's it unless something else catches my eye.

New manga from Viz

Viz has licensed some new stuff:
Cain Saga- I'm really surprised this wasn't licensed earlier. They have the second half of the Cain Saga (God Child) so I don't understand why they didn't release the first half before God Child was released.
Hayate the Combat Butler- Don't know too much about this one. I'll have to check it out.
La Corda d’Oro- I've heard that they had the license to this awhile back. Don't know why they're sitting on it though.
O-Parts Hunter (666 Satan)- It doesn't surprise me that they changed the name to this.
Punch- Don't know anything about this.
Reborn- Or this.
Read Or Dream- Not surprising that they have this. They've already released Read Or Die. So it would make sense that they would license the sequel.
Tail of the Moon- I've been waiting for someone to license this for awhile. It's a really good manga. I don't know why they didn't license Tsuki no Toiki, Ai no Kizu too.
