My little Squirrel-cosplay Yutaka mini display figure arrived in the mail on Monday 4laugh ! She's so adorable whee . I believe I'll hold off on updating the picture of my collection on the first page for now, but I'll be sure to update the first page with the info. about her later 3nodding .
Anyway, despite the sad news about Bandai Ent. ending its run in North America, I don't intend on letting the fact that the English release of the Lucky * Star manga has ended defer me from collecting the series! In fact, last night I ordered volume 9 from YesAsia mrgreen ! Took me a while to find a good place to order it from, but I'm glad I finally stumbled across YesAsia in my search. I was already aware of this International online store, but I didn't know they sold manga tankobon at such good prices! With shipping included, volume 9 is only costing me about $20, which is way worth it in my opinion 3nodding . Unfortunately, it's not even going to be shipped out until February 9th, and it's coming from Hong Kong, so it may not even arrive until late February sweatdrop . The wait is fine, though. And, of course, I'm not fluent in Japanese either, so actually reading it won't be easy... I intend to find a translation on line when it arrives, however. Hopefully that won't be too hard.
