The “Read a Buncha Manga” Project

Last night, I had to carry a large bag (seen above) back to my apartment. Okay, I didn’t have to tote it all the way as I rode the bus from campus to my part of town but I did have to carry it to the station and from the station to my place. Damn, it was heavy! Anyway, about the stuff in the bag: it’s various things like buttons, cards, drawings, and postcards that are to be given away/auctioned off at my anime club’s Big Showing in late May. Apparently, since I’m the interim president, the officers who are graduating this quarter trust me to keep it for two months.

When I finally got the bag home and looked through it to write down what was in it, I saw there was a lot of manga, about 40 volumes of various series. Some of it was yaoi (I can handle it? right?) and a couple are in Japanese and German but a majority were in English. So I thought it would an interesting challenge to see if I could read – and post reviews of – all 38 or so English-adapted manga by the time May 19 rolls around. You can see my progress on a seperate page I created for this endeavor, which I will hopefully finish.
