First Off

Pad Thai is the ultimate comfort food. Good stuff.

And I've been told that the only way to keep traffic up is to keep posting, so that people have something to keep coming back to look at. Seems to be sound advice.

Comics are very near and dear to my heart. I'm getting absolutely hooked on TokyoPop's new $10 manga volumes... Too many good series out, it's like the Lone Wolf & Cub and Astro Boy trades... $10 a pop for a ton of them is still a lot of money, and they're getting it from me.

Kodocha is the first pick for me. A totally insane comedy, great translation and adaptation, and some touching drama too. All time great series, I think. If I had a kid, I'd almost want it to be Sana... She'd know how to put up with me...

The Cowboy Bebop manga is neccesary just for the liscense, to see more of the CowBe characters. It's really not that great, but they do keep the characters pretty well, which is what's key to this, and it's short at 3 volumes, of which I already have two. So in the spirit of completists everywhere, I'll pick up the third.

GTO Great Teacher Onizuka is just as good as everyone told me it was... Unfortunately, because that means yet another series to pick up on a monthly basis. It's really easy to identify with the almost-lecherous Onizuka, and so this book is really fun to read. Tons of comedy and touching characters, a creator in top form.

Love Hina, well, I'm just a sucker for a good shounen romance/ comedy, and so I am a Tenchi fan. There, I said it. And so, Love Hina appeals to that oh-so-dirty side of me very very well. It's very funny, and very endearing.

There's a few others I'm thinking of picking up, which I don't know much about... Priest, Ragnarok, umm... I'm fading... oh well,

Selah,
