 hey everybody welcome back to the channel the manga geekdom today we're doing another haul video for the month of january and february and i'm posting this on march so yeah it's one of those crazy hauls the first one here is my dress up darling volume two you might remember if you've been watching the channel that i placed an order back in november of last year and that got lost i waited almost a month then i contacted route unfortunately they couldn't make the order right away it right stuff because my dress up darling volume two was still sold out they were waiting to get more copies so they finally did and shipped it by itself followed up here by volume seven which is the latest released volume this came out at the end of january so now we're all up to date with this series next one up is gants omnibus volume 11 we're one book away from having all of gants collected in this omnibus format or at least the original series i should mention this is my first time reading this i don't want to flip around too much because i don't want to spoil anything but yeah super happy to own gants volume 11 of the omnibus editions the night blooms behind castle walls volume one i made a first impressions video on this if you want to check it out on the channel really enjoyed this series it's about a squire that dreams of being a knight she's pretty cool and the whole manga is just really well drawn and the definition of a wholesome read something that's not wholesome and actually quite macabre and perverted i guess succubus and hitman volume three of the series i really enjoyed this volume it had some of the most intense action scenes of the series so far and the protagonist is doing the rescue mission for another character and i want to spoil it just in case if you're reading this for the first time and that whole sequence was just shocking badass and a little traumatizing to say the least next up is oshinoko volume one i also did a first impressions video on this if you want to check it out here on the channel uh yeah this this is quite the experience i knew of how bonkers it was but i wasn't ready for what was to happen in this first volume it's a shame that we got to wait so long for volume two but it's gonna be worth it i think i really enjoyed it by the end it got better as it went along but i love the art and the crazy premise and in that same video i talk about honey lemon soda which was a pleasant surprise and i know it's it's a famous shoujo manga and i wanted to give it a shot i really enjoyed honey lemon soda was quite the refreshing read kaolun here we have volume one kaolun generic romance and volume two as well a fantastic series slice of life romance with a hint of supernatural elements i'll just leave it at that but it's a really good series highly recommended tatsuki Fujimoto before chainsaw man 17 to 21 i was at walmart of all places and they've been expanding their manga section i've seen a lot of viz books seven c's codon chess stuff like that the layout of this book just called out to me in the color scheme and i like tatsuki Fujimoto obviously i've read chainsaw man enjoyed that and i really like his short stories especially like goodbye airy so i thought i should pick this up and support Fujimoto next up is friaran beyond journey's end and that's pretty funny because last haul video i said you know what i'm gonna slow down on getting stuff that i haven't read yet because i've only read like two volumes of friaran and just as i said that i realized oh crap i forgot i had already pre-ordered volume seven so uh maybe i'll do that with volume eight dr stone volume 24 two more books if memory serves me right and we will have the entirety of that series happy about that to have a complete shonen jump series on my shelf i love this series so much and here is b stars volume 22 the final volume of b stars i am two volumes behind on my reading i need to finish this excited to check it out i love b stars so much one of my favorite manga from the past couple years i think i started reading it when it came out and uh or at least when the first volume came out stayed side so i'm excited to see how it all wraps up and as you can see here record of ragnarok volume five this is another kick-ass series super happy to get this but i just wish the books would come out a lot faster because we are way behind here's a look at all the colorful spines i know a lot of you would like to look at that myself included next up from seven seas we got marmalade boy the collectors edition volume one i couldn't pass this up i know about it from the anime it's a legendary series very famous romcom wanted to add it to my collection and i believe it shouldn't be too long i think uh at least four or five of these collectors editions which is really nice for the shelf also from seven seas this was one of my anticipated reads of january finally got it in my hands sword of the demon hunter volume one this is a pretty kick-ass samurai action manga with supernatural elements and monsters and all that cool stuff so yeah if you're into that i highly recommend it and speaking of monsters and cool action kimono jihen volume four this volume i think is great it's where the story picks up considerably for me it has the backstory for two of the main characters and they're quite dramatic and action-heavy at times definitely give it a shot if you're interested in uh shown in books with supernatural angles to it continuing the trend with monsters and cool things rooster fighter volume three this action parody manga is fantastic i love it so much and the art just continues to impress and our rooster's journey his path of of vengeance is pretty badass now he's got secondary characters tagging along and uh they're quite interesting as well as you can see here now this is an interesting pickup i got this purely out of impulse uh dandan volume one i've read some of it online through the apps but i saw it at walmart as well and i said you know what i'll get volume one i think it'll be cool to at least own the first volume of it but yeah dandan is super crazy bonkers action packed a lot of suggestive humor and great artwork mermaid scales and the town of sand this is one of my anticipated reads of february super excited to pick this up a slice of life drama with supernatural aspects you have a girl that may have had contact with uh mermaids japanese mermaids which are a little bit different than your regular ones and i love the art on this and i love the build i love that it's oversized this uh book looks fantastic and i can't wait to read it and talk a little bit more about it so look forward to a video on that real soon had to do it picked up another omnibus edition of alita last order uh missing obviously bombing five and then the rest would be the single editions right 16 to 19 or something like that uh so yeah looking forward to finishing of collecting the sequel series to uh battle angel alita also from codonsha rent a girl from volume 17 i stopped reading it uh when i got to volume 12 and now i recently picked it up again because i know season three of the anime is coming soon so i'm really enjoying the current arc with the crowdfunding for the film and to wrap up the manga section here we got break of dawn i was super intrigued when i read the description for it this sci-fi coming of age story it has a movie i haven't seen it it looks awesome so i wanted to pick up the original source material i like that it's an all-in-one and it's pretty chunky look at the size of this thing it's a it's a mini brick i like it can't wait to read it and give you my thoughts on it on the channel a couple anime here we got the first half of mushiko tense jobless reincarnation really enjoyed it there's a reason why a lot of people call it sort of the grandfather of the modern isekai and i really enjoyed the main character as uh faulty and perverse and weird as he is there is a charm to his journey i love the character progression and i love the world building on this thing can't wait to revisit mushiko tense i don't know if i'm gonna get the light novels or manga so the anime is just fine i'm looking forward to completing season one and getting the other blu-ray release which came out as of me making this video here is ranking of kings the first half this was one of my favorite anime of 2021 highly recommend watching it uh boji is one of the best characters ever i love that little dude and his journey resonated with me and his struggles while different than mine i did find some similarities there and it's just a really nice adaptation which studios knocked it out of the park great characters great story a very human story with fantastical elements so yeah don't want to spoil it too much but this young prince he is supposed to be next in line to be the king you find out that he is deaf and not a lot of people take him seriously and unfortunately something happens that his privilege or right to be the king is stripped from him and he goes off on this adventure with a shadowy assassin friend that you're seeing here on the stairway and that's sort of vaguely the plot the start of the plot of ranking of kings but there's so much more i invite you to please check it out if you're interested i don't think you'll be disappointed there you go that is the hall for the month of february and a little bit of january there too there are some books missing that did not arrive as usual with the channel so look forward to that in the next haul video thank you so much for tuning in if you like this leave a like consider subscribing i'd appreciate it i do content like this where i talk about all the manga that i'm
