aw crap now the whole fedoverse can see the edge of my "slightly shameful" bookshelf.
...shelves.
...look, all the Knuth is on the shelf below it, okay?
@ninjawedding I never really had the inclination and finances for manga coincide. I just borrowed it from a friend.
In terms of ownership, I got about 5 books into Ranma 1/2 and 6 into Inu-Yasha before I got a bit soured on the genre.
@icefox a big chunk of my collection is CLAMP stuff: Rayearth, RG Veda, xxxHolic, artbooks. a bunch of it came from discount bookstores when I was studying abroad - I still tell myself I’ll use the manga to practice reading Japanese
@icefox is it that bad? :P I’ve only heard stories about the game, haven’t played it
@ninjawedding From what recall it was half-decent, as a SNES JRPG, though not super original.
But the ending was a bit, ah, traumatic. And entirely unexpected. So.
@icefox oh yeah, the manga and anime do the same last-minute whiplash. it definitely comes out of nowhere
Rayearth II starts about as dark and stays that way for a while

@ninjawedding that Honestly sounds somewhat appealing!
@icefox yeah! at this point I’m sure it’s on a bunch of manga sites
The artwork is g o r g e o u s, too

@ninjawedding good artwork is always a nice bonus! I'll have to look it up.
@ninjawedding That's a fantastic excuse! Though the only one I really am familiar with is Rayearth. I played the SNES game (ahem, ROM) at a formative age and was reasonably traumatized.
