So, when I posted last week , several people seemed to express an interest in the manga and such I was buying, so I thought I'd give a quick summary of my purchases made in the four months since coming to Japan...

Breakdown (by type, then genre then publisher 'cause I'm too 
             lazy to actually do it by individual series):
Tankobon (volumes)
 Total: 82
    Boys Love: 68
        Chara:    16
        Ichiraci: 31 (buying most of 困った時には星に聞き 
                      makes up a large chunk of that)
        Beboys:    9
        Other:    12
    Shoujo:   10
    Shounen:   4
Magazines (weekly, monthly, bi-monthly releases, etc.):
 Total: 39
    Boys Love: 12
         Ichiraci: 5 (monthly, so yes, been getting it every month since I got here)
         Chara:    2 (All because of Minase-sensei's Lover's Position...god I 
                      love Minase's work!)
         Aqua:     4 (Again cause of Minase, different series, 
                      and had to go searching for back issues for these)
         Be-Boys:  1 
    Shounen:  26
         Jump:     13
         Magazine: 13 (getting the next one tomorrow so...)
    Other:   1 (ZeroSum, just WHAT is it, anyway? Shoujo? Shounen? 
                        I have noooo clue!)

doujinshi: 19 (all of which are BL except one. Yay Rukia/Renji!)

Over all, really think I've shown quite a bit of restraint. I mean, only 82 tankobon, that comes out to less than twenty a month! Ehehehe...and just think, I gotta move all of this to my new apartment in the next few weeks. The joy, the rapture...but it's all so SO worth it! ^_-
