welcome to my manga page ~! (´꒳`)♡
admittedly i don't read a lot of manga... however the manga i have read have all altered my brain chemistry in some dramatic way, whether it's sparked my love for mysticism and japanese folklore (xxxHolic), made me bawl my eyes out and wanna start a band (Nana) or sent me in a existential depressive spiral for weeks (Punpun/Metamorphosis)...
i am currently halfway through collecting Nana (i have volumes 1-10 so far), and also have physical copies of Paradise Kiss, Metamorphosis and Vampire Knight (vol 1+2 in German). in the future i'd like to have physical copies of all the manga listed on this page, so basically i need to stop spending so much on clothes...
