This week's manga
Fruits Basket final chapter:
Oh gods. That was beautiful. Funny and beautiful and I outright bawled reading it.
Ah! My Goddess:
There were about three full-page illustrations of Skuld that just knocked me off my feet, they were so gorgeous. (Thank you for being awesome, Kosuke Fujishima.) Skuld reveals herself to Sentarou, but like what happened with Keiichi's parents, either he doesn't get it, or he isn't letting on that he gets it. Also, the "Sentarou is moving" plot is resolved in a rather hilarious fashion. Well, that's the end of that story arc, so I have no idea what's coming next. In other news, 2007 is the 20th anniversary of the Ah! My Goddess manga, so we can expect to look forward to all sorts of vaguely-promised special awesomeness, courtesy of Afternoon. Oh, and an advertisement listed prices for the PS2 game: 6800 yen (7140 with tax) for the regular edition, 9800 yen (10290 with tax) for the limited edition. Why isn't this information on Amazon.co.jp or any other retailer's website yet?! With the minimal price difference you might as well get the limited edition, since it comes with insanely awesome extras including an engraved silver watch. The combined worth of the extras is probably more than the 3000 yen price difference between the regular and limited edition. So I guess that makes the limited edition kind of a bargain.
Ouran High School Host Club:
The current storyline is boring. I only bought this issue for the triple furoku, which is very, very good for Ouran fangirls. A desktop calendar, clear plastic trading cards, and a set of four manga postcards. Mmmmmmm.
Tsubasa Chronicle:
I normally don't waste my time reading Weekly Shounen Magazine, as both School Rumble and Tsubasa Chronicle are series that I can only satisfy myself by reading big chunks of (read: whole tankouban) at a time. But when I saw everyone on livejournal going on about "chains" and "chess" and "chains and chess" together, I had to check it out for myself.
Damn. Chains. Damn. Of course, I have no idea what's going on, since I haven't read any of the chapters between the end of volume 17 and this one, but... Blargh, it's CLAMP fanservice. Does it *really* matter what excuse for a plot device that resulted in this particular situation?
