I got back sometime yesterday, managed to stop over in Singapore for a while and picked these up, probably my biggest manga purchase in a while, if not ever. Sorry for my crappy photography.
Hung’s been raving about these. Picked up the first volume to give it a try, getting the other 2 was pretty much a no-brainer. Yes, it’s that good. I actually lent them to my sister for a bit — note: she had never read manga before — and she came back demanding the next volume, which by the looks of things could very well be delayed a while.
RahXephon = awesomeness. 3 volumes? CY publishing (i.e. US5/570Yen per vol.)? Definitely.
Hey, I liked that alternate bit in the Eva ending, apparently this carries it on. Plus, volume 2 was out the day I walked into Kinokuniya.
Eh, I liked Love Hina.
Can’t hurt to give it a try — if it’s good enough, next stop will be the anime.
I’ve yet to read the School Rumble volumes I picked up earlier, still contemplating whether I should review these series.
couldn’t pass up a chance to put this up
Oh I didnt know CY had Rahxephon. But anime-turned-manga are generally not good.
Yea, keeping my fingers crossed for this, apparently it has a parallel storyline, much like the movie did.
Nice purchase!
From the first volume of RahXephon that I read, I have no desire seeing more. It’s sort of like My-HiME manga vs anime. Same character designs, same basic ideas, -totally- different execution and story. Oh yea, and over the top fanservice in manga.
I’d really like to get my hands on Yotsuba, but somehow never had a chance… maybe they’ll adapt it to anime? :X
I don’t think it’d that well as an anime. Maybe a short OVA..
Actually, i honestly don’t know. It could work as an anime because of the way that the chapters are, in the sense that each is an episode in its own (not that Yotsuba is episodic!).
