Soooo~ January is over, it's time to strike some balance. First - manga, next - figures!^_^
The best thing I've got during this excessively cold January was this:
6 first volumes of Mushishi manga. There are 4 more for me to get^^
BTW I wanted my RAH Ginko pose with this takobons, but a sad accident occurred U_U
GINKO'S HAND BROKE! Ambulance, ambulance!! Gosh, Medicom really used some cheap plastic here >_<
But, ambulance came - with my all-purpose Super-glue. Somehow, I managed to fix it, but I'm not really sure it will stand on its place, because surface in contact is very small. Anyway, I preferred to leave Ginko alone.
Back to the manga. I'm always impressed how manga artists change their style in process of making one long manga. In case of Yuki Urushibara, who made Mushishi - it is IMO a great improvement. Here you can see 2 pages with Ginko from the first volume:
And that two are from the 6th.
See the difference?
This strangely looking kid on the first pic - I hardly recognized my beloved Ginko!>_<
On contrary, in the 6th volume he looks mature and well-drawn. That's my Ginko!^__^
And this was unexpected! Just wandering through one of my fave bookstores (I'm very fond of books, can't stop buying them) I found "Spice and Wolf" Russian edition!
I know that originally Spice and Wolf is a light novel but, apparently, they made it into manga in 2008. And you know what? I like Keito Koume's manga illustrations better then light novel and anime art. Horo is so sweet here^^
What is even more pleasing - translation is really decent! Unfortunately, on Russian small market of licensed manga it is hard to find something decently translated. Russian translations of Naruto, Bleach and Death Note are absolutely lame. Can't even read them without puckering >_<
One more Horo.
Kawaii! BTW, Glory, should I put a hentai alert here?^__^
So, that's all for today! Figure-related goods will follow!
