Manga in the Mail: 24

Super cheap and in great condition. I found them and I'm surprised no one paid higher than what I was ready to pay. I got this super amazing deal for these volumes:


Blame! Volume 1, Blood: The Last Vampire 2002, Warriors of Tao Volume 1 & 2 and Fullmetal Alchemist Volumes 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5

I was expecting the manga to be in a "Very Good" condition since most of the manga I buy are like that, except for this one. I was surprised to see them so clean and so taken care of that they are basically like new with only a little shelfwear. They haven't even been yellowed (yeah, manga does yellow over time but that depends on how you take care of them!)

Weekly! UQ Holder 22

Touta coming back from the fight, OP. Somehow Touta can read minds? He also figured out that Mr. Werewolf is actually Kaito. It's an instant movement showdown! Can this get any faster?!

I'm sorry that this is their cover for this week's Shonen Magazine. Also, since it's not serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump," I will not be using Viz Media's covers for their digital magazine.

Previously on: UQ Holder 21: Ruki doing his best to protect the village. Mr. Werewolf was about to kill him when suddenly Touta wakes up from his peaceful slumber with a new power up! Also, Kuroumaru tried to rescue Ruki but was only able to do an assist due to his current.... uhh... situation. Touta's arms are covered in dark stuff which looks like magic and even the blind swordsman says that it's some kind of magic; Magi Erebea (which is from Negima.)

Weekly! Naruto 664

This is what you call C ckBl ck. The foot from chapter 663. becomes two (not kidding)! Unnecessary comic relief from the comedy duo, Guy-sensei and Rock Lee! The ultimate c ck/bl ck of them all happens, Black Zetsu steals the half of Kurama from Minato while transferring it to Naruto. Good chapter people. Good chapter!

Viz Media

Previously on: Naruto 663: Naruto and Sasuke confirmed to be clinically dead. Sakura performing CPR and manually pumps Naruto's heart. Karin becomes powerful and useful in battle for once. Madara transforms into the Sage of Six Paths after sucking up the Juubi's chakra and becoming it's Jinchuuriki. Then, the mysterious foot appears.

Weekly! All you need is Kill 5

You have a giant battleaxe that requires the wielder to practice it non-stop, and you have a soldier who wants to use it BUT doesn't have a lot of time. It's true that he can do it everyday as he respawns, but doing things in a routine in the exact same way is tiring. Here's to hoping that there is something out of the ordinary happens.


I wish there was a way to buy magazines from Japan cheaply. I mean, you can buy a magazine for 4-5 bucks from Japan, but then comes the biggest pain in the neck, SHIPPING! $20+ for shipping alone and that's like the slowest service. I don't live near a Kinokuniya bookstore so I can't really buy weekly magazines though I would LOVE to have at least just one issue. I have a ton of manga already and what my collection needs is a magazine. Seriously. Anyway, here's the actual content. Sorry for my whining...

Previously on: All you need is Kill 4: Shasta Raylle build Keiji a battleaxe--the same one that Rita has--in exchange for an external hard drive with god-knows-what is inside. That's the only important thing worth noting.

Weekly! All you need is Kill 4

My prayers have been answered! MORE OF LIETENANT SHASTA RAYLLE!!! Nerds will always be nerds, give her something with a ton of data in exchange for her building a GIANT BATTLEAXE! This is a short chapter so I'm going to keep it real short.

(I'm not posting these random magazine covers with semi-nude girls. These are the actual cover for Weekly Young Jump where All you need is Kill is published.)

I'm kinda late on this but it's better late than never! College is not my best friend when I'm trying to keep a manga review blog.

Previously on: All you need is Kill 3: He begins training with Sergeant Bartolome and has since been killed 12 times. He has been experimenting with different weapons but his weapon of choice has become the piledriver. However, the piledriver needs ammo and can only have 20 per weapon. Desperate to survive, Keiji infiltrates the base's R&D department to ask Shasta Raylle to make him a battleaxe like Rita's.
