NOT COOL, NOT COOL!!  
Fandom update!

First I'll start with the good news. Kuroshitsuji is getting a second season!! :D So I guess Ciel didn't die in the end? Um... well as long as they do the circus arc I'll be happy! And chapter 34=pure win!!

And the bad news. WTF Viz!? Viz has never been my favorite manga publishing line, but I liked the Shojo Beat line. I also liked that the manga was $8.99 and cheaper then their regular $9.99 price. But, NO Viz has to go pull a Tokyopop on us and raise the price to $9.99 too. Starting Oct. 2009 it seems.

Example:
was and
now is

See my entry about Tokyopop's price raise here

It just annoys me cause I bet the qualities going to be no better even with the price range (Not like Del Ray's). Plus manga's already expensive...... How much you wanna bet the price is going to get higher and not cheaper over the years now that manga/anime is becoming more popular?

Gr.... Viz. At least I'm only trying to collect about 3 series from the Shojo Beat line right now. I bet people who are collecting Vampire Knight from them are going to be the angriest. That series isn't even close to done apparently.

Well, that's all my updates for now. Stupid english translating manga companies....

Haha, so true!! I used to buy manga all the time until it really started to put a hole in my wallet. Thanks VIz, now I'm definitely reading 9/10 of the series I read online.

I think it's dumb at Japan that manga costs about five US dollars.

I absolutely hate VIZ. I only purchase Fullmetal Alchemist just to support the franchise. But once I get more money I'm going to start buying the French version. Unlike VIZ, in France they keep the original format. And lucky for me, French is my second language. So it gives me more practice. I recommend doing that. Shipping will probably kill everything though. ;;

I know!! When I went to Japan I was shocked to find that out! (And to see manga everywhere @_@)

YES!!! I've seen the stupid editing they do in FMA!! It's horrible! That's nice that you have a second language to relay on! Once I start Italian this fall maybe I'll try that! :D

That sucks!

I'm glad you posted St. Dragon Girl as an example because I decided to check it out and it's so cute. :)
Moe: Mikan- Yay!![info]meroko14 on June 28th, 2009 07:26 pm (UTC)
Yup :(

Yay!! Another St. Dragon Girl fan!!! Yes I love it!! I didn't think I'd love it as much as I do, but it's really surprised me!! :D
