It takes me forever to read through a manga series. Since I plow through them very quickly, I tend to buy them infrequently. Reason being, if I bought as fast as I read, I would likely be broke and completely out of bookshelf space. Also, since I plow through them so quickly, they're a very expensive form of entertainment. For the amount of money I'd spend on four volumes of manga that I'd blow through in a day or two, I could play an RPG that will take me all month.
I'm currently reading Saint Tail and I'll probably finish sometime before the end of this year, but not before.

You need a book?
If your looking for a good manga series to buy you should look into Love Hina. That is the funniest manga I have ever read in my life. But if you're looking for more fighting than you should deffinantly get YuYu Hakusho, both are really funny. But they are rather big collections, but it's worth the money.

Man, I wish I had time to read more manga, but I've had to do so much anime viewing for animedistrict.com. The last one I read and finished was Nausicaa, the most mispronounced anime/manga of all time (including the actual dub of it). I'm in the middle of GTO, Fruits Basket, Hellsing, and Berserk right now.

I most often say "Naw-sick-uh"... is there another way? Nowsickuh?

I don't know how people into manga/anime pronounce it, but my English teacher said na-sic-ah-ah.Sonic# wrote:How do you pronounce Nausicaa?

As Sonic said, the way manga/anime people including the dub tend to pronounce it is naw-zik-uh. However, it's a Greek name of a maiden who befriended Odysseus in the Odyssey. The correct pronounciation is more like naw-seek-ey-uh.Alunissage wrote:I don't know how people into manga/anime pronounce it, but my English teacher said na-sic-ah-ah.Sonic# wrote:How do you pronounce Nausicaa?

As an addendum, I'm not a deranged anti-fanboy who is mad at them for not pronouncing it that way. I do think that's what Miyazaki intended though, as it's spelled "Nausicaä" with the two dots above the last a. Those would only be there if he intended the Greek pronounciation. No biggie though; they just made it more mainstream accessible. I'm just glad they didn't pronounce Evangelion as "eh-van-gel-lee-on"
