here are the books :D

ordered them on ebay from japan. there are a bunch of sellers that sell complete series for a pretty good price. ive looked into ordered japanese manga through proxy services, but their shipping fees are extremely extremely expensive and the slightly less expensive ones would take months to ship. i did the math and it would prob be a tiny bit cheaper ordering through proxy services, but then id have to wait forever and deal with the proxy services. ive done that once and i didnt like how many steps it took.

ordering from ebay from sellers that offer free, fast shipping is the easiest way for me, imo.

but im not planning to buy much more manga. i have a small place and only want to own a few selected series, those i really love.

im gonna be ordered oresama teacher some time later and then try to get some volumes of matsurika kanriden, but after that im not sure.

today i got the french limited edition of yona of the dawn 40!

it comes with a reversible cover and a mini artbook with 160 pages. i ordered it from an online shop in france since i live in the eu and it was only 12,90€, too.

im pretty happy about it. i dont really understand french, but if i want to read it i can always get it online

i actually havent read yona in years. i started reading it years ago when it first got really big and only a few volumes were out, ive been wanting to reread for some time. one of these days ill get to it.

i received my yankee-kun to megane-chan / flunk punk rumble (miki yoshikawa) manga from japan!

one of my favourite series when i was in hs/uni. i reaaaally love yankee stuff, especially super strong girls. this is shounen, but its by a women, so while it has fanservice and stuff, i think its a pretty good read for people who mainly like shoujo and dont normally read shounen. its mainly comedy, however, school life with an increasing ensemble cast and all kinds of stupid hijinks.

today i read Die Fuchshochzeit / 狐の嫁入り / Kitsune no Yomeiri by Chiyori.

i picked it up used and i was interested because it reminded me a bit of kamisama kiss... and who isnt a sucker for foxes/yokai? (if inu yasha didnt have ears, the series would not have been nearly as popular, is all im saying.)

it was a fun and pretty quick read, its just one volume with 10 short chapters. the art is nice, though i dont care for the designs of the humans. they look very shoujo-typical but also not very... interesting and enticing? somewhat too childish. and the art is a bit wonky, now that im looking at it again.

the foxes are (mostly) super cute in this book:

i didnt get the main plot point, the ending was ok, there was a bit too little romance for me, but otherwise it was fun.

oh, all the foxes were cute except for....

...edward?!
