You just don’t get it. It’s not about getting more manga. It’s about finding a phenomenonal deal that just can’t be passed up. Getting a 15.95 book for 2.50 is just that. That was the whole point, not that I don’t have enough manga.

I did, that’s why I specifically mentioned recent orders. Looking at the last one we got, you got 6 manga in 1 2-week order, plus an additional 7 for review, plus the 2 you bought at the LCS, that’s 15 manga in less than a week, not to mention having Shonen Jump and Shojo Beat to read as well.

Don’t go making people think that poor you, you have nothing to read when you spend more on manga than everyone else in the house spends on comics combined.

Try reading my blog before going off. The last three orders of mine have been $60 or less. That’s 10 books or less a month. If you’d been paying attention you would see that our last order was also done. Look before you leap.

Come on, you have manga coming out the wazoo. Our last comics order, you got 99% of the order, both in manga and in comics, and you got another 7 issues today. Of our usually $160 comic order per month, I usually spend under $20. The kids usually spend about $10. The rest is yours.

I don’t really mind much, but come on, you act like you’re not spending almost $1500 a year on manga.

I was pleased with the find too. Everyone keeps going on about it, so I decided to see what the buzz was all about, a decision made easier by the 2.50 price tag.

Well, I can’t argue with your decision to buy the second volume of Phoenix–that’s one of my all-time favorite series!
