Finished Vampire Hunter D. Yeah, 14-year-old boy audience. Worth reading because, dude, Vampire Hunter D, but I hope the translator gets better as time goes by - he really did seem as if he were writing narration for a comic instead of a novel.

I seem to be coming down with the con crud right on schedule, as I now have a sore throat and have started sniffling a bit. Will probably end up missing a day or two of work in the upcoming days. I shall now retire to bed with the copy of The Winter Prince that [livejournal.com profile] rachelmanija so kindly sent me and read until I fall asleep, which feels as if it will be about thirty seconds.

Oh yeah - I've been going through my manga shelves and pulling out the ones that I don't think I'll be following any more. I'll hopefully get around to posting them here for anyone who wants to trade for books or manga or random interesting things.

And I finished Qwan and still love it. Kid-type creature with a past and a purpose mysterious even to him, a sometimes-clueless rogue, and lovely art and expressions. I ♥ it muchly.

I read the first half of "Qwan" in Hastings tonight but had no cash and had to leave as the store closed, so now I'm scouring Half.com for it. GOOD stuff. Qwan and his little headless flying dog are simultaneously adorable and creepy.

I'd be interested in the manga/book/random interesting thing trade.

Adorable and creepy = Good Stuff. :) Good luck on finding it!
