Loot!

[oyceter]

BWAHAHAHA! I got a ton of loot at the Strand today (and at the Strand Annex over the weekend) and I am going to rub it in everyone's faces and brag because I never manage to find manga on sale in California.

Loot ($2 for everything save the manhwa, which was $2.50):

• Mixed Vegetables, which I have never heard of but stars a daughter of a pastry chef who wants to be a sushi chef and the son of a sushi chef who wants to be a pastry chef.


• Sugar Princess 1


• Forest of Gray City 2


• Goong 2


• Flower of Life 3 (from Forbidden Planet)


• High School Debut 5, which I'm not actually collecting, but hey, TWO DOLLARS!


• Vampire Knight 5!!!!!!!!


• Nana 12!!!!!!!!

And, bwahahahaha, half of them are not out on Amazon yet!

... now I know how coffeeandink must feel like all the time.

ETA: On the other hand, I didn't find an ARC of Octavian Nothing 2 and I forgot to look for one for Justine Chen Headley's new book.

I'm curious to see what you think of Mixed Vegetables, that was a title I was considering getting.

Flower of Life!! I love that and just recently read vol. 3, which I loved.

Mixed Vegetables looked really cute. Yes, obviously, the solution to your problems is to MARRY SOMEONE!

I am sitting here stroking my copy of Octavian Nothing 2 to CONTAIN MY RAGING JEALOUSY. (P.S. I have a box of ARCs I need to send you, if you can send me your address~!)

Two dollars? I would like that store out here, please. Mixed Vegetables looks pretty good, I hope you enjoy it. I might pick it up once I buy all the books that I already want- but, no income, and I owe my mother a thousand dollars for this computer I'm using ^^' AND GRR AT YOU. I WANT HIGH SCHOOL DEBUT 5. I can't even pick that up once I can find it here, because I need to buy number 4 first, which I have already read.

And hi! Sorta just jumped in your journal today. Mind if I friend you?

Longtime lurker here, hi!

Did you find all of your manga bargains at the regular Strand or at the Annex? I passed by the Annex yesterday (inspired by your post) and didn't find too much in the way of anything left.

But congrats on finding all those titles. Sometimes the manga gods do smile on us :)
