FACTS convention picture report
Fourth year in a row I'm going to this anime and comic event in Flanders, and I will not turn around the bush, this has been the BEST ONE ever so far, both from a personal as from an organisational point of view.
The personal part is very simple.At a small dutch anime store, in a shelf literally at floor level, I found one of my Holy Grails, the illustrious volume 10 of the Shonen Jump english manga of Knights of the Zodiac.You don't (if you find them uberhaubt) get them online under 200 USD, due to a print error way back limiting the run of this particular volume.I payed 30 euros today.The vendor even appologized that he had to ask more for that one then the rest due to it being 'rather rare'.Well, learn your classics, you can make more on them then on Naruto or Pokemon matey ;-)

What a week, what a week... for a Saint Seiya lover like me, I have become very, very close to a virtual orgasm, as it has truly been a highlight on collection and television levels.

Narrowing Focus part 2: What am I doing this for?
SO A MIDWEEK OF STUDYING, NOT GAMING AND SORTING THROUGH HEAPS OF BOXES AND PACKING UP HAS PASSED NOW SINCE THE INTITIAL POST, AND PEOPLE, MOSTLY THROUGH FACEBOOK, HAVE ASKED ME JUST WHY AM I DOING THIS AND WHAT AM I PARTING WITH.
So let's have a look at these things then now don't we.

My (Little) Japanese Side
In two hours and 40 minutes I read 1097 pages from the scanned tankobons of manga (you can find them .) I couldn't stop myself. Kuno would have forbidden it probably screaming this way.
And I think P-Chan will be one of my future self gifts. In case you were asking I'm not an otaku and neither a comics' expert. I used to read Disney comics like Mickey Mouse (involuntarily I've taken after my bro J), Donald Duck, Scrooge McDuck, Minnie and Witch ones.. I read Peanuts for a while.. but this is my first manga. I could read Kodocha or InuYasha next.. Or Death Note, my friend A's watching the anime.

Alright. As I've promised, i am going to do a part 2 of the blog i talked about a few days ago. i have a few stuff to talk about to finish off what i was talking about dealing with the swan manga, and then im going to talk about the comics ive read for this trip.
the swan manga. my only hope of seeing it again would be next year for the trip to canada to that comic store (comics america). also, another thing i should say about that store is that it was a little too cramped, if you guys are reading this. a few things kept getting knocked over with me around. you people need to have more space around. in my statistics, there will be a 60% chance of it still being there because no-one would want to pay money for manga anymore when they can get, and a 40% chance of it not being there anymore because someone's little girl wanted to buy it because there literally aren't any comics out there targeted to such an audience. I am this close to going through the trouble of buying a used copy from amazon, just like i did with Lupin III, and Knights of the Zodiac.
