Pandora Hearts Vol.19 – Cover plus Inserts

A little late with my post again but I’m back with some images of Pandora Hearts Vol.19 that featured Alyss on the cover. Yes this is the normal/regular edition. I believe the special edition is with Oz on the cover which someone had posted and shared on LJ earlier on. The SE version also came with a figurine of Oz. Anyway, volume 19 was released on Nov-27 and contained 4 chapters i.e. Retrace 75-78. Plenty of revelations and developments in those chapters if I may say so. Like the manga, then do support the mangaka and publisher by buying the official tankoubon releases.

UraBoku Vol.10 & 11: Covers plus inserts with extended extras of Story 52

VOLUME RELEASES: 裏切りは僕の名前を知っている 第10巻 & 第11巻

UraBoku‘s latest tankoubon Vol.11 was released on Oct-25 and I had gotten my copy very recently. Volume 11 covers 4 chapters i.e Story 49 to 52.  However, the tank version of Story 52 is an extended version with additional panels that were not published in the magazine version which I had previously shared in this post. The expanded chapter is 10 pages long. I wonder if Odagiri-sensei will have the extra panels added to Story 53 in ASUKA. Otherwise, it won’t make sense as there’s quite a missing chunk that highlighted the deteriorating condition of Takashiro and the continued conversations between Yuki, Hotsu, Toko and Tsukumo.  So, unless you buy a copy of Vol. 11, you won’t be able to see the extended chapter. But the UraBoku fandom is so lucky because Ayu is sharing those extra pages here, nyah!

+C: Sword and Cornett Vol.7 – Cover plus Inserts

This is strictly for (existing and new) fans of Yugyoji Tama’s +C: Sword and Cornett which is receiving very little love from the manga fandom, it seems. It is probably due to the lack of attention in terms of translations more than anything else. I’m not sure what happen to this group who is suppose to be working on spreading the love through their English translations. Apparently, everything’s on hold there for the time being. So, I’m wondering if anyone else is going to quietly pick it back up so we can continue spreading the love of this manga far and wide as it appears the small fandom community is almost deader than dead.

In any case, I think it is fair for me to continue plugging Cornett’s volume releases here on tBPII along side TZA where my team mates are mainly doing the omake translations of the manga.  So without further ado, let’s move on to Volume 7 which is Cornett’s latest release to date.

Pandora Hearts Vol.17 Regular Edition – Cover plus Inserts

Pandora Hearts Vol.17 was released on Mar-27 and it came in two different editions i.e. the normal and the special limited edition. The difference between the two is the cover art illustrations plus the limited edition also came with key rings. It seems that many in the fandom ordered the special edition because of the extras and it was out of stock on some online bookstores. I, on the other hand chose to buy the normal edition and thus, I scan the cover plus inserts like I always do when I received a new volume and post them here. I like the Jacket cover art which features Lacie in front and Revis on the back portion. Other than that, everything else appears the same as the special edition volume. As far as I’m aware of, there are more scans of the limited edition being shared in the fandom but little to no scans of the normal version. So, here they

Pandora Hearts Vol.16 Regular Edition – Cover plus Inserts

Hello peeps.  Pandora Hearts Volume 16 was released on Nov-26, last month. The volume came with two cover editions i.e. the regular edition and the limited edition which comes with a drama CD.

Ryo Takahashi’s TOXIC Vol.2 – Covers + Inserts

A little while back, I’d announced the release date of Toxic’s Volume 2 over at TZA. Well, the latest volume goes on sale on Aug-12 and I have a copy of it.

Volume Covers: Vampire Knight Vol. 13 and 14

Volume Covers: VK Vol.13 and 14 plus Extras

Vol.13 – Cover

Vol.14 – Cover

I don’t think I’ve posted these before, either here or on LJ. But anyway, I thought it’ll be good to do so now. It isn’t news to most VK fans as I am sure the fandom are aware that Vol.14 was released just this past week.

Want to sneak a peek at the covers and inserts? Head on over to ‘Aozora Dreams‘ to see them all.

Volume Releases – Are You Alice? Anthology, Ayahatori Shoukanjou Vol. 03

Manga Specials – Volume Covers plus Inserts from Are You Alice? Anthology and Ayahatori Shoukanjou Vol.03

I’m pleasantly surprised by the ‘Are You Alice? Anthology’ series. It’s the first time I took a dive and check out what the collection is all about. I never expected one (let alone 3) had been released to date since the manga itself has just 3 volumes out. However, the first two were released by DNA Comics and the latest one is released by Zero-Sum. Nonetheless, I was curious enough to get the Z-Sum anthology volume myself and didn’t regret it at all. The short adaptations by participating mangakas were really spot on and hilarious. Also out at the end of Feb is Ayahatori Shoukanjou’s 3rd volume. As usual, the cover illustration is rather nice. Anyway, enough gabbing. Check out the picspam ahead!

LaLa Issue 04 plus a 3rd season of the Book of Friends

Random Special – LaLa Issue 04

The reason why I even had this issue of LaLa is because of the happy, happy news that it contained. It’s probably old news to most of you but I care not because I’m really excited that ‘Natsume Yuujinchou’ is getting a 3rd season. The first 2 seasons were my favourites anime of 2008/2009. The anime adaptation stood out as one of the best from Brain’s Base that I’ve seen. Since then it’s been tough to find a series that could feel the void Natsume left. So, you can imagine how delighted I was when a 3rd season was green lit. I’m really looking forward to it and will of course, be covering the series when it eventually airs.
