Got as far as I could with Zipang... to chap 74. I'm guessing there's more out there to complete at least that arc, if not the whole story. Must rewatch the anime to see how it all ends. (Predictably, there are 40-odd manga vols released in French...)
So I've switched to another series which was adapted into a great anime - Sakamichi no Apollon (Kids on't Slooope). And it's almost as good as the anime... I think I just need to listen to some jazz when reading it!
Niiiiiiiice.

just read up to Chapter 20 of One Week Friends (having enjoyed the anime immensely) - love the cute artwork and the story and characters are exacly as per the anime (or rather, the anime followed the manga almost to the letter)
Will be buying this most definitely when (if!) it ever gets an official release.

Read Vol 1 of Highschool DxD. So far it's staying quite true to the story which is a bit of shame as I've watched the series quite a few times but I'm hoping the book may go into more detail about certain things.

Off*Beat vol 3
I HAS THE FEELS, SO MANY FEELS.
A bittersweet ending to a short (3 vol) series that was among my early manga buys (well... vols 1 and 2 were, vol 3 was lost when Tokyopop went 'pop' and it looked like it might never be released, luckily a kickstarter to fund obtaining the rights and reprint 1 & 2 then saw the possibility of Vol 3 finally seeing the light of day) and it happened.
So a hardcopy is winging it's way across from the US, but in the meantime I've read the e-version.
And now I finally know how the story ends. So, yeah... Feels. Many of them.

Started reading Watamote. Now I'd read some of the chapters online before but I don't remember the series being this depressing.
Poor Tomoko.

Finished the Limit last night, nice ending.
Time to find a box and get them ready for selling, as I need the space.

Black God, volume 16
Nice, but a bit confusing series (lots of characters and after a good break I've forgotten who a lot of them are, would be nice to have a 'character' intro page at the start
