Kinokuniya shopping list.

elwenI went with my sister to Kinokuniya today (first time riding with her after she got her license, hee) but came back empty-handed. Which is frustrating, because apparently there are tons of things that should be out now that I need to get. So this is kind of a shopping list for myself:
There's a new volume of Ginban Kaleidoscope out, and while I was content to stop reading after the first two volumes, which correspond to the anime, I'm very intrigued by this new volume. I'm still trying to figure out whether I can get away with skipping the intervening volumes, in which I still have very little interest. It looks like the new volume is about the 2010 Olympics, so there will be more focus on Gabriella, whom I really like, and Lia.
I found out that the BL novel I got last time, Majutsu wa Yogoto Yomigaeru, is actually the third in a series. The author doesn't number her series (and she has a ton of them, and some of them are longer than 20 volumes) but rather has a naming convention for each. All the titles in this series begin with "majutsu". I've mostly picked up what's going on, so I think I should be okay with Ginban 7, too. I'm also trying to decide whether I want to stick with the Majutsu series, either future or previous volumes. Kino only has the second now, apparently, and while the summary didn't sound that interesting, the illustrations make me happy. [Yes, I have a very shallow method for choosing novels.]
So I guess I could have been less empty-handed leaving Kino today, except, perhaps, for the fact that I'd feel really guilty about buying more novels. I've been telling myself that after I finish reading Majutsu wa Yogoto Yomigaeru I'd start reading the Scrapped Princess novels, which I do want to get to. I also need to steal my sister's copy of Tasogare no Kishi, Akatsuki no Sora, the Twelve Kingdoms novel from which I can finally find out what the hell happened to Taiki. I've also been wondering if I'd find the Kyou Kara Maou novels more palatable now that I've come to terms (maybe) with first-person narration in Japanese.
Aaah, so much to read, so little time. (Because I have to read other things, like casebooks. *ahem*)
- Elixir 5, by Akino Matsuri
OMG, the series isn't dead, yay! I was sad because Elixir 4 came out a couple years ago, and from skimming it didn't seem like it ended on a conclusory note. - Shin Petshop of Horrors 3, by Akino Matsuri
- Maboroshi no Hana, Yoi no Tsuki, by Akino Matsuri
It's a Petshop of Horrors artbook! *squees and dies* - Fushigi Yuugi Genbu Kaiden 6, by Yuu Watase
Dude, I need to know what happens, like, now. Shoujo series should not be allowed to end manga volumes in the middle of a fight scene. That's what shounen's for. - Gokusen 14, by Morimoto Kozueko
Okay, so I don't actually know for sure that this is out yet, but I think it's about time for a new volume, maybe. Supposedly there's been some awesome ShinKumi action in recent chapters. <3
