Anyway, I'd say the Sousuke one is better overall, more interesting artwork and pose wheras Kyon has this "DUUUURRR!" look on his face and looks a bit off model. Plus Sousuke is a way better character. |

Hello.
Btw does anyone buy comptiq magazines? Recently I got a package from amazon.jp. I ordered issue #6 and 7. number seven has a nice phone strap in it. Also comptiq features numerous articles about Lucky Star. #5 had a dedicated cover page and so does #7. More information can be found at my site. I organized a separate page specially for the occasion. douzo.

Yeah, I get Comptiq every month, and obviously they have tons of Lucky Star content, as they're the magazine it runs in. In terms of physical extras, though, I think this is the first Lucky Star-related one that I can recall (at least, in the last year or so). Comptiq, Dengeki G's and Megami are all great magazines for bishoujo game/anime fans, but Comptiq would definitely be the choice if you're into Lucky Star.

Yes I noticed lucky star manga in comptiq. I was surprised to see the text has furigana there. I thought that furigana is printed only in books for children. Tsubasa chronicles also have furigana though. So now I have 3 issues of comptiq. I bought one last year and this year I managed to get 2 issues +comptiq special and g's magazine.

Anyway, I suppose this is veering somewhat off-topic, so might as well leave it at that for now. |

For young children who are say, around late-elementary school age, early-middle school age, the manga will be printed primarily in kana, but will include simple kanji. I own a few manga series like this, and there is no furigana. I think for series such as L*S (and Tsubasa) that could appeal to a larger age range instead of such a specific age group, there is a decent amount of kanji plus furigana. The only time there is really heavy usage of kanji and *no* furigana is when it's a disturbing series meant ONLY for mature adults. It's a clever way of censoring the series from children with grabby hands ne. (And it discourages gaijin such as myself who also have grabby hands when it comes to manga.) |

They apply furigana based on the target audience. A high school audience will still have furigana since they're still learning their 1945 kanji.
I have a kanji book that teaches the kanji in the same order that k-12 japanese learn it. There's a pretty strong match between a manga's target audience and which kanji get used and when they have furigana. And given modern japanese adults having some problems with kanji.... they're probably raising the bar on when they leave furigana out.

Either way a bit pricey for what just looks like a school uniform, unless that's what price those go for in Japan. |

When I shop on amazon.co.jp, only International Express shipping is available. A few years ago, they had the cheaper Economy option, but I figure they had problems with lost shipments and now don't offer it anymore.
So the Express shipping is a flat 2700 yen plus 300 yen per item, including the first one. This is like $2.50 shipping per manga or magazine, which isn't too bad, but it adds up quickly. Some friends and I just bought 30000 yen worth of manga and magazines from there. ^^; I only buy about twice a year, and we split the shipping cost, so that helps. But what I'm distraught about and am asking here in this forum is: The August issue of Comp Ace sold out less than an hour before I went to my Checkout page with two copies of it in my cart. ;_; So now I ask where else can I get that magazine, as well as Comptiq and Comp H's .. because (as said already) they are full of L*S goodness. I was so close to getting a Kagami phone strap, but it's out of stock now. J-List has the Comp H's with Konata on the cover but not the other magazines, and shipping there is very high as well...
