And "Mamoru-kun" may not be "Kage kara.." Here is the Japanese: 護くんに女神の祝福を! And this is the official website for it and here is an Amazon link. |

why did that surprisingly hurt me in places i didn't even knew i had pain reception. You would be happy t oknow that the anime follows the book almost to the word. ZnT follows the novels not as close, but it is still good. you should try both novels out.

Lol, sorry i didnt mean it that way. Suzumiya was an entracing series no doubt. Hehe, I meant that since the anime was so good, i felt that I already know what the contents of the book were going to be about. With shakugan-no-shana, I get this sense that there is a great story trying to peek out from behind a so-so anime. If someone tells me that the suzumiya novels have some juicy bits and suprises that are lacking in the anime version, I'll definitely give volume 1 a look Otherwise I'll contiune my research into what to read next very soon. ZnT volume 7 sucked me in and i was forced to read it in a marathon. Volume 7 talk: Spoiler:

Nevertheless, the anime has only covered a part of the overall series. Vol.4 (Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu), in particular, is probably the favorite volume for most of the fans of the series. It was vol.4 that finally exploited the full potential of the novel's supernatural settings, as well as drawing out the core of the settings for our main characters (Haruhi, Yuki, Mikuru, etc.). If you thought the anime's main story (vol.1, Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu) was good, then you should definitely give vol.4 a read (while you're at it, vol.7 as well). Quote:
How about Owari no Chronicle (終わりのクロニクル)? Spoiler for intro:

Its exactly like how it is with the top 10 manga, most manga that will be on the top 10 will be male oriented (shounen or seinen) and a few are female oriented (shoujo or josei).

I'll post its cover when its available. I'll also be adding them in my post in the Generic Discussion Thread (including the bigger image of the cover).

Okay, I'm sold. I'll definitely give volume one a shot if you recommend it. For SF I have one overriding criteria: if it is believable science fiction (seikai no monshou), and not obvious junk-science(garasu no kantai) , I can enjoy it. The reviews are decidely mixed. The reading junkies who love complex stories seem enthralled, while the casual readers seem overwhelmed. I guess I'll get my chance to find out where in the spectrum i fall. |

Withdrawal symptons? Ah, how I wished I continued my Japanese reading studies. All gone now. Waiting for someone to translate these novels up to Vol 8 is going to be awfully painful. Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts on vol 8. Would you mind answering some questions about Vol 8? Spoiler:
- Thanks! |
