Yeah, but too bad shipping it costs more than the item itself. I know this from when I ordered the R+V guidebook a couple years back, it cost me 40$ for an 8$ book just to get it. If J-List offered these , I'd try and get them then, because the shipping wouldn't cost as much.

Wow, looks like the...errr...entertainment factor has made this a pretty busy thread.
I watched the anime as 'something completely different' from some of the shows I've watched recently, and enjoyed it more for the humour than the the fanservice, I found the show pretty funny on the whole. Although saying that flicking through the end of this thread it seems obviously some versions of the show were a little more uncensored than the ones I've seen I did notice though that bar the 'add a character' factor of a lot of the shows in the original series, there seemed to be a little less overall development in the second season compared to the first overall, with only a few episodes really progressing anything [for example the whole blood transfer at the end of Season 1. Given in most vampire mythology a vampire giving a portion of thier own blood either grants powers as we saw a hint of at the end of season 2, or converts you into a vampire, I was expecting more to be made out of it] I'm presuming that's because the first season was a little closer to the original manga, whilst the second deviated a lot? Hell given he wanted to stay there and had a thing for Moka, I'd half expected him to just ask her if it was possible for her to turn him into a vampire at some point anyway, because then there'd be no more worries about him being involved in that world, he'd be able to defend himself and them more easily, he'd be blood linked to her as his sire, and it'd kinda make sense with the world he's found himselves thrown into (not like hes not having his bloody sucked out regularly anyway!). Also what was up with Tsukune's lack of decisiveness...its pretty bloody obvious which of the girls is the most important to him...Karuma even said this in the last episode of season 2?! He'd even told his mum he'd met someone important which turned out to be Moka, and it was a running joke throughout the two series that he and Moka would just kind of zone out and stare at each other far too much, and far too often for any of the rest of the groups liking, often subverted by Moka then biting him. I can't believe he's still not just come out and said it, ended the whole group argument out of who is a good friend and who means more (inner Moka even told him the time was coming where he WOULD need to make this choice), and refused to chose at the end. Final shot of the last episode did kinda look like he was thinking the same thing... why did I not just Im gonna presume manga Tsukune is a LITTLE more decided, after all, its not like he decided to stay at a monster school for this girl, or she saved his life by giving him her blood or anything I've seen it referenced a few times that the manga changed its name part way through as well, as it jumped magazine or something. What are the names of both the manga version so I can try and find translated copies?

All I can say is this: one, I won't be buying it. Two, if you're just coming across this series, then do yourself a huge favor and watch the anime first. Whether you like it or dislike it, get through it all, and THEN read the manga. You will save yourself a ton of pain and anguish that way (okay, so you'll bitch about why the anime wasn't this awesome, instead of going ZOMG THE ANIME BURNS!!!!)

the meaning of "kappuchuu"
For the curious, "kappu" can mean "an allotment" or "payment in installments" while "chuu" not only colloquially means "kiss," but it also is the onamonapia for the sound of liquid being sucked up. So, there is a play on words being made. You could loosely translate it as "here's your allotment/payment of a kiss" with the double entendre, "here's my allotment/payment of sucking [blood]."
