Let the manga/light novel craving start! August 25, 2007

Ok, question is, what store in Akihabara where you can you find manga and light novels?

I’m looking for some Marimite novels and maybe somebody can recommend a good store?

I’d like to buy but not immediately. I just want to know the location/store (and of course it must somewhere that is ok?). I’m still in the process of researching what to buy; I’ll be using the ‘reading materials’ to force myself to learn more Japanese words. I find that I actually learn faster by reading stories/articles. And I need it in print. :-)

Thanks in advance for anybody who can give recommendations. =)

Sha la la la la la…I find myself humming this tune a lot now. And the weird thing is that this started with the manga.

*Another directionless post on anime, manga, and plain books

I just wanted to rant on how I’ve been completely engrossed in Marimite. I was supposed to watch the series and the sequel once, and then move on to the next marathon. However, I ended up watching the first season twice (I’m now on season 2 but still some episodes left to rewatch). And that was not enough; I had to get the manga scanlations, and then still not satisfied I read the online translations of the novels available. I cannot seem to get enough of the stories it’s scaring me a little. If ever an English translation of the novel will be sold here in my country, I might go and buy all of it (I mean the set). So before I get lost in yuri-land (or worse, watch the series for a third time), I think I’m gonna have to start on Evangelion again. I know I said that I’m gonna start again on Eva after Binbou Shimai M and H&C II end, but I have to see something else now. It has not helped at all that after dropping some shows, I’m left with the mentally ‘heavy’ ones–Ergo Proxy, Honey and Clover, Night Head Genesis, NANA, and even SP is in a dramatic(?) mood. I have ‘light’ shows on my watchlist: Ouran Host Club, Naruto, and Eyeshield 21. Even then I still get the feeling of being drained. I think I may have even lost some of my appetite for Honey and Clover. Maybe I have to take up a series that has brainless fun…
