*sigh*

Well, as evidenced by my last entry, I got crapped on yesterday. Not in the literal sense, of course but I might as well have been. Perhaps I should clarify--

I usually pre-order certain series, mostly Fruits Basket. I was told I'd be recieving my order soon. I did, yesterday. Only I didn't quite get what I had expected. I got my volume of 'Immortal Rain' I had ordered, but the other book that was included wasn't Fruits Basket # 10. It was Kare Kano, a series I've heard of, but don't read. *sigh* I was furious. I wanted waht I had already paid for, damn it.

So, I sent of a polite e-mail indicating the problem. I'll also be going to the post office today to return the book I don't want and hopefully get the one I do want in exchange or something. I don't quite know how it works since nothing like this has ever happened to me before. So I'm still quite annoyed...

However, in addition to my copy of IR (which I plan to gush about later), I also received my two Japanese volumes of Furuba 16 and 17 I had ordered. That almost made up for getting screwed. I can't really read them, but they're chocked full of juicy pictures. Several of which I intend to scan for future purposes.

I got to the point where I can recognize the kanji for three names: Akito, Isuzu and Kureno. Also, the whole story about Tohru's parents looks very cute. I just need to find translations somewhere so I can read the dialogue.

So my happiness quota for yesterday was at about 80-85%.

You got your IR6 already? The release date isn't till July, right? It must be nice to be Tokyopop's store and be able to release books way ahead of street date :)

Looking forward to your comments on it. I can't wait to get my copy and finally be able to ogle Eury in English.

Oh, yes! And many a cute moment inside as well. Of course, I also have a massive crush on Rain, but no way am I gonna fight Machika for him. Eep!

I'll probably post my thoughts and whatnot on my anime/manga journal in the next few days. And, of course, I plan on scanning pics!

BTW, any news on if 7 is coming out in Japan? I mean, there has to be more since 6 ends on a cliffhanger.

Still no word of IR7. Shinshokan's website is kinda useless. They don't update often, and there's no other way for non-Japanese to know what's coming up in July, Aug, Sept, and afterwards. I hope the next issue of Wings would have some info.

I hope it doesn't get dropped or anything. I mean, there's still so much that needs to happen and be tied up and stuff...

Don't worry, the Japanese rarely drop manga series. Besides, it's still running in Wings (next chapter comes out in the August issue). It just takes the publisher to get their act together.

Well that's good. I mean, mostly I want to know if Rain and Machika meet up again!

^_^

Oh, and to see what happens next with the whole Yuca/Ys thing...

good luck.....
