I don't usually read books or novels, although I used to read pocket books a lot and some Sydney Sheldon books. But one I'm into reading right now is manga! That means Japanese comicbooks, and those are books, right? So they count!

Does anyone else like reading manga?

I'm not that big on manga. Probably because it's not all that accessible to me. But I read Vol. 1 of Battle Angle Alita a couple of weejs ago.

I'm bigger on books, anyhoo.

Yeah, since it has to be translated and all...but I've read a lot of manga, not because I bought them, but because of getting scanlations. Of course, unliscenced ones and those that are absolutely not available in our country

Yeah, Battle Angel Alita was kind of lame in some parts and I couldn't at all get into the story. These were more along the lines of plot-progression, and battle scenes (sometimes the drawing is so clutered you can't make anything of it).

Other parts are very cool, although the plot moves to quickly. Fortunately, you don't really FEEL that because it's not even within the grasp of reality anyway. What's a bit more going to do?

I read Dragonball Z. It was quite nice. I read the Chinese edition. Although manga is nice, I still prefer to watch the anime. It gives me the 'feel' of the whole story. Well, you can download anime but I am not gonna say where cause I dunno if is will be a violation of copyrights of something like that. If you are interested to know more, about anime(not downloading), do post here.
