The latest edition of Flipped is up at Comic World News. In this exciting installment, I blather about things and hope it comes off as coherent.
I intended to pick up some manga titles I’d never tried before over the weekend (y’know, thumb down the shelves at random, grab a couple of first volumes that don’t feature massive knockers on the cover, let a higher power sort it out). This didn’t quite work out, and I’m going to blame the weather.
See, it was cold and icy here, and I had a very short window to be out and about. And I thought to myself, do I really want to be trapped at home with potentially terrible manga? No, I decided, I do not, so I chickened out and got more One Piece and Iron Wok Jan!
I also thought about trying a couple of Johanna’s recommendations (particularly Fruits Basket and Cheeky Angel), but I had zero luck finding the first volumes of anything. Clearly, I’m going to have to go with an on-line ordering binge.
