Gundam Wing: The Complete Operations DVD Set (Hyb)
Another thing i just had to get - i actually taped the series of TV when it was playing on Cartoon Network, but the picture quality is average at the best of times and the sound quality makes me cringe ( especially when the ending theme is playing...*shudders*) And another reason for getting these DVDs is the fact that they have the original Japanese opening and ending themes, which I adore, as well as loads of extras such a character profiles and image galleries....i think i'm in love lol

I love this game! really really love it! For those of you who have played it, you'll know what I mean when i say just listening to some of the music can reduce me to tears or make me laugh out loud.

Corrector Yui 1 Graphic Novel (168 pgs)
I haven't read much of this yet ( just seen the previews on Tokyopop) but it looks pretty good - the art is clean and very shojo, and the story sounds promising. This has been recommended to me by my friend Helena - Hi Bunny! lol - I'll just have to persuade her to lend it to me after she gets it! *hint hint at Helena*
Manufacturer's info below:
In the year 2020, computers are everywhere. From digital teachers to cars that drive themselves, computers are an integral part of everyone's lives-- everyone except Yui Kasuga's. The 14-year-old daydreamer can't tell a Pentium chip from a Dorito!
How ironic that the fate of the Internet, and the world, should fall on the shoulders of this young girl. When the sentient computer virus, Grosser, infects the global network Com-Net, Yui is transported into cyberspace to combat his evil plans. Only by assembling the eight missing pieces of the corrector program can Yui make the Net safe once more.
A dangerous quest, fabulous costumes, a cute sidekick... Yui's superhero dreams are about to come true where she least expected it!
Created By by Kia Asamiya
Written and illustrated by Keiko Okamoto whose works include Cute Beat Oshare Club and Fantasy PlanetYuzu.

Dragon Knights Graphic Novel 1 (192 pgs)
I loved this as a comic and in graphic novel format u get even more 4 ur money - great!
Manufacturer's info below:
If you think facing a man-eating witch is dangerous, imagine having to face the one-eyed monster that ate it. In a farcical tale of hijinks and swashbuckling adventures, Rath, Rune and Thatz become the Dragon Knights of Fire, Water and Earth and scour a mystic landscape.
Their quests? Fortune, love and honor. And though they may have to work together, no one says they have to like it. The Dragon Knights are put to the ultimate test when their fighting involves more than just their enemies.
Presented in traditional Right to Left Japanese style!

Island Graphic Novel 1 (168 pgs)
My friend Bec accidentally got the 5th volume of this instead of the 1st so this link is 4 her! I wanna find out how the story starts!!!! Maybe this time u'll get the right one! lol I'm sry, only teasing :p
Anyway, the art is very dark and sketchy, almost gothic at times. Very manwha-ish (tho it's usually v.difficult to tell the difference between manga and manwha)Reminds me a little of Rurouni Kenshin (i luv it!!!lol)because of the shonen art style and storyline i.e full page spreads of battle, etc. If u don't like gore and blood, etc don't get this manwha, but i wud certainly recommend it to any collector cos it's v'good - don't read it late at night!!
Manufacturer's info below:
Cheju Island, a lush and exotic place where old world values still exist, as do old world Demons. The island is a place, where people are aware that their souls can be stolen by evil in both the darkness of night or the light of day. It is also a place where vigilance and custom are not just words but a way of life.
Miho, a woman of beauty, intelligence and temper, comes to the island to teach and is immediately caught in this world of terror and the supernatural when a demon attacks her and she is saved only by the chance appearance of a mystery man with seemingly only one mission...Demon killing.
A delicate balance is upset and for the island, and for the islands people, the world is about to change.

Paradise Kiss Graphic Novel 3 (192 pgs)
I picked up the first graphic novel randomly at our manga store, cos they didn't have nething i was looking for and i thought this looked quite interesting and it definitely is! V.vvvvvv funny, and tho the art seemed a bit strange at first(Ie Miwako's mouth looks a bit like an O all the time), it is actually of very high quality. Quite sketcky, shojo art, mad hair and not a lot of shading!
My sister Kotorine fell in luv with it and stole it off me ( after preaching about what a crime it was to steal manga series' off other people...^_-'lol) Anyway, it is now (according to her) her series and so this link is for her...enjoy!
(i'll just steal it to read, so she can buy it if she wants, lol)

Planet Ladder Graphic Novel 2
The first book was very confusing until u had read it a few times and figured out who every1 was, but very good, with a load of tongue-in-cheek humour. Definitely promises lots of surprises in the future! So neway, the second book promises to develop on themes delivered in the first graphic novel and answer some of the many many questions the reader will have by this point. The art reminds me a little of CLAMP especially in Cardcaptor Sakura, but the edges are a lot sharper and the battle scenes almost shonen in style. Very hard to define, but nice Why not have a look?
Manufacturer's info below:
Orphaned Kaguya is lost and confused in a strange new land with no one by her side except her mysterious and silent robot companion Gold. But when she stumbles into the realm of a strange and beautiful woman named Bambi, Kaguya finally learns about the universe crumbling around her and the motives behind the raging warlords who hunt for her day and night.
Now, Princess Kaguya must discover the reason for her royal title in this warring world, and the role she is destined to play in creating peace in the battle-scarred universe.
