About
This haul also contains some comics, because I figure they are similar enough to share the same post. Any time I get comics, they will be in the manga hauls. They will be in the manga section of the index as well whenever I review any.
All of these are Amazon purchases, except for Noragami and Detective Conan.
Comics
Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Lost Adventures & Team Avatar Tales
This is the first comic omnibus recommended to read for this series. The Lost Adventures are stories that take place during the events of the TV show. Team Avatar Tales takes place later. A reading list I looked at implied that section should be read way way later, but I doubt it matters. My guess is they were both put in this book because they can be read close together.
This is the hardcover library edition. It looks like the library editions might be the best ones to get. Some of the comics only have the library editions as hardcovers. They seem to have more content than the paperback versions, too. At least, that’s what the descriptions seem to imply.
What is it?
A comic omnibus of The Lost Adventures & Team Avatar Tales building more onto the story from the TV show Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Search
From what I gather, this is the third omnibus in the reading order. I got the third before the second because it was cheaper at the time. I think this one is the library edition. There’s another version of the omnibus, but it looked like it was paperback only. This one is hardcover, and the description implied it had more content than the other version.
What is it?
A comic omnibus of The Search that continues the story from the TV show Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Manga
Black Cat, Vol. 14
I only need four more volumes for this series: 15, 16, 18, and 20. They’re out of print, so my collection for these advances slowly with pre-owned copies.
What is it?
An action adventure starring an ex-assassin gunman turned bounty hunter, and supernatural powers.
Detective Conan, Vol. 2 (Japanese Edition)
This book is a late birthday gift. With this volume, I now have one through three of this series in Japanese. I like to look through them every so often to see which words and phrases I can pick out. It’ll be a while before I can actually read them, but they are good motivation to keep me learning the language.
What is it?
A mystery series in which a secret organization turns the protagonist into a child via medicine.
Flame of Recca, Vol. 14 & 15
I think there are about eighteen more volumes in this series. Slowly, but surely, I’m working my way to getting them all.
These are out of print, so I buy all of them pre-owned.
What is it?
An action adventure featuring supernatural powers and magic items with a similar vibe to Yu Yu Hakusho.
Noragami Omnibus, Vol. 4 (volumes 10-12)
I can probably start reading these any time now. As long as I don’t read them one after the other and work them into a rotation, it should be okay. I just don’t want to catch up to the release and have to wait. At this point, I’ll just add them into my rotation whenever I feel like getting around to them.
What is it?
An urban fantasy focused around gods and the spirit world.
Tail of the Moon, Vol. 13
This series is almost complete. There are only two more volumes left, and then I can put it on my list of things to read.
What is it?
A romance story about an incompetent ninja girl sent to woo Lord Hanzo.
