While I was in Japan I stopped by the Kyoto International Manga Museum and read the first volume of Daemons of the Shadow Realm/Yomi no Tsugai. I really liked it, so I picked up volumes 1-10 to read once I finish my re-read of Kaguya-sama: Love is War.
I also picked up the following:
- Yuru Camp, complete series - This one I’ve seen the anime adaptation of. It wasn’t a bad adaptation, but given the nature of the story I suspect I’ll like it as a manga more. I guess I’ll find out.
- Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt, vol 1-13 - After seeing the excellent movies that came out of this my curiosity was piqued concerning the rest of the story.
- Mobile Suit Gundam Crossbone Gundam Ghost, vol 1-5 & 7 - Gonna be honest, this one was an accident. I didn’t look super close at the title and thought I was getting Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam. I have no idea if Ghost is any good, or if it’s even something I can reasonably read without context from Crossbone Gundam.
- Mobile Fighter G Gundam: Re: Master Edition, vol 1 - I love the G Gundam anime, so when I saw this in the bookstore it was a no-brainer.
- Medalist, vol 1-11 - I’ve read this one online, and it was great. I picked up the volumes simply because I wanted them, but also because I haven’t read any of the volume extras yet.
- Magic Knight Rayearth, complete series - I’ve read the first chapter of this one and the art was really good. Will this be the second time a shoujo mech isekai from the 90s impresses me? I guess I’ll find out.
I almost picked up a full 77 volume set of Gintama for $100, but ended up deciding that bringing such a thing home would be too impractical. Shame.
