I sold most of my manga from the first batch I put up on eBay.  Thanks so much if you bid!  But I’ve still got more I have to move out.  The next batch has gone up.  Please look and bid if you’re interested: Inuyasha Volumes 6-10 Inuyasha Volumes 11-15 Hunter x Hunter Volumes 1-5 Hunter x Hunter Volumes 6-10 Hunter x Hunter Volumes 11-14 Tsukoyomi Moon Phase Volumes 1-5 Tsukoyomi Moon Phase Volumes 6-9 Starting bids are the price of one manga, so you’re essentially getting 5 (sometimes 4) for the price of one.  I will combine shipping for multiple wins.  Thanks for looking!

Review: Hunter x Hunter Vol 16-18
Reviews / January 19, 2009

Hunter x Hunter Volume 16, 17, 18 By Yoshihiro Togashi Publisher: Viz Media Age Rating: Older Teen (16+) Genre: Action Price: $7.99 Rating: These three volumes finish up the Greed Island arc (thankfully), though in retrospect it wasn’t as bad as it could be.  Volume 16 continues “The Bomber” arc within Greed Island that was started in Volume 15.  Genthru and his team has 96 and only need 4 more to win the game.  Several teams of hunters, including Gon’s gather to come up with a way to stop Genthru.  They decide to get a card no one else has and keep it from them.  By creating a team of 15 they can activate the quest.  After gathering the requisite number (including Hisoka), they reach the challenge of a killer dodgeball game.  Volume 17 finishes the game, and starts the war between Genthru’s team and the winners of Plot of the Beach card.  There’s more training for Gon and Killua while Tsezguerra’s team buys them time to come up with a strategy to beat Genthru.  Volume 18 is the final three-on-three battle between Genthru’s team and Gon’s, and the end of the Green Island arc.

You’ll start to notice reviews in the Kidlette catagory. These are reviews of manga written by my two daughters. I’m not editing them other than correcting typos, so you’re getting what they think. Finally find out if the kids like the kid stuff! Now, just a bunch of random news items I want to comment on. Hunter X Hunter is coming back….again. After being put on hold in December with no reason and no date of return. You really have to wonder if Togashi wants to write this series any more. I wonder if he’s lost as much interest in writing it as I have in reading it. Yahoo Japan Auctions announced it’s top grossing auctions for charity for 2007, and at the top of the list was the “Worlds First Official Tsukasa Hojo ‘Life Size’ 100-ton Hammer”. It’s a replica of one of the hammers that Kaori would pull out to use on Ryo from Hojo’s manga City Hunter. It’s 1.8 meters (5.9 feet) long, but only weighs 50 kilograms (110 pounds). How cool is that? There are time I wish I could whip something like that out. Especially at work. From the “Dear God, Please No!” Department: Kodansha’s…
