Jedisakora, I couldn't find it on the site. I'll see if I can find it elsewhere. Thanks.

Andie, all the bookstores near me have huge manga sections. I think it's the big trend now. Even Harlequin has come out with romance manga. So silly, really.

I just started a new series called Spiral. I really like it. It doesn't have a whole lot of action to it but the humor keeps it moving along.

Jedisakora

Pretty much all the bookstore carry manga around here too. I saw those Harlequin mangas, if they publish a good one i'll probably get it

I'll have to look up Spiral, humor is just as good as action to me

Princess Bing

Totally unfair! I don't think the Philippines will ever get there. I'll have to settle for scanlations for the rest of my life. *faints at the thought*

How much do they cost there? Same as the regular books?

ETA: Btw, what's Spiral about?

Jedisakora

Manga cost between $10 - $12 here in the US.

Have you ever tried ebay Andie? They have TONS of manga there.

Andie, here's a summary from anime news network. Like I said, there's not as much action as you'd expect. He solves the crimes/puzzles with his brain.

I've never lucked out with buying manga in ebay. I always get out bid in the last 3 seconds. It sucks.

*starr*

Princess Bing: You're from the Philippines too? I'm from that country as well
pretty much you could buy manga here, but you'll have to look for them at the right stores, and provided that you have the cash to buy it, they can be pretty expensive.
I've also bought some manga off ebay, they're not bad

the latest anime that i'm totally going crazy about on is tsubasa chronicles & alice academy they're the best!

Princess Bing

Too bad for you. Melissa, bidding on eBay means having a PayPal account, having a PayPal account means having some sort of compatible bank account or credit card, right? I don't have the latter, I think.

Re: Spiral. Suddenly, Detective Conan comes to mind.

*starr*, didn't we meet before at the Orlando Bloom board? I'm not sure... I used to buy manga from these high-end comic book stores, but they're so incredibly expensive, yeah! Once, I bought one measly chapter of Ranma 1/2 for 600 bucks or something, I think. And that was before the year 2000!

Jedisakora

I love Conan so i'm def going to have to look up Spiral

I would try Amazon.com if you can't get it from ebay

I love tsubasa chronicles. It sooo good and its easy to find direct downloads of it My icon is of Sakura from it.

Princess Bing

I'm trying to read all the CLAMP stuff first, even though it's not really necessary to be able to read Tsubasa Chronicles.

*starr*

Princess Bing: oh, i think i've come across your nick in the Orlando site too
anyway, i like CLAMP's comic books too, i want to collect the tsubasa chronicles & the xxxholic series
i bought my ranma 1/2 manga from a friend of mine who lives in New Zealand. It's volume 1, and around 150+ pages long worth it for around P800 bucks

Jedisakora

I can give you a site where you can read alot of manga scandalations for free and you can download them to your computer if you want. The site has Tsubasa because i go there to get the newest scandlation of the series.

*starr*

Jedisakora: oh please could you give me a copy of that manga scanlation site as well?

Princess Bing

I've been had!

Melissa, which one do you frequent the most? I think I got banned out of mangadownload, though, 'cause I kept coming back during their maintenance periods.

Starr, I think either that site or OMGAnime has the complete Ranma.

Jedisakora

Here is the link http://www.stoptazmo.com/

You download the manga off the site so you don't have to worry about megaupload

*starr*

Princess Bing: oh, i have the scanlation of ranma 1/2 until volume 8, i think i haven't got the time to download volume 9 onwards now
i'm currently downloading sailormoon manga right now, it seems interesting

Jedisakora: oooh i've tried stoptazmo.com, but unfortunately, i couldn't access that site using the internet access i have at home. It's banned, surf control sucks (cos the internet access i'm using is free from our school)
