 Hey guys, it's disembodied Geo here and today we are going over all the geeky stuff I got in the month of May. It's haul time. From the folks at Seven Seas, here we have Daidark Volume One from Kyuhayashita. I really like this book. I love the dimensions of it. It's quite small compared to the size of other releases but I don't know. It's cute and charming in its own disgusting little way because look at that great grim artwork right there looking all kinds of awesome. And the inside, you know, it retains the colored pages which is always great, always cool to see. Here you can see that in full detail. Look at this spread right here looking really awesome. If you like Dorohidoro, you know, you're going to be right at home with this. It's super chaotic, grotesque, fun, and action packed when it needs to be. Yeah, just overall really cool in my opinion and I'm happy to get into this and I love that we already have this Volume One, right? You know, we could have been stuck waiting years for this to be released but we're already on Volume One. Hopefully more volumes come out in Japan so we get the rest of the series as quickly as possible. Speaking of long-running series, here is the Ancient Magus Bride Volume 14. I really do need to catch up. This looks great as always. I love this series. I think I'm on Volume 7 or 8 so I really do need to catch up on this and find out what the heck is happening in this volume and here you see some of that artwork looking really really cool. Now we move on to the folks at Kodansha and this is something that I've always wanted to get since I first saw the anime 2019. It is Vinland Saga so I started getting into Vinland Saga. Here's Volume One or Book One I should say right there with that wonderful beautiful artwork. Yeah this is such an awesome series. I'd love the show. I fell in love with that series and yeah it's on everybody's collection and I said you know what yeah I'll get that too. I'll act like everybody else and get it. No but truthfully it's a wonderful series regardless and I was super excited to start getting into this reading the original source material and owning the hard covers. So there's Book One of Vinland Saga. Next up is a series that I thought you know I don't really have much rom-coms in my collection simply because of limited space and the few that I have are usually in Blu-ray format. You see my Billy Shelf right there but for manga I really like the show and I thought why the heck not I'll grab it. So here is a really wild purchase but I'm really excited about it because I really like I said just now I really like the show so I'm gonna continue reading the series and it's Rent a Girlfriend. So here's Volume One of that series. Here we have Volume Two. I'll show you the artwork in a little bit if you've never seen it before. Here is Volume Three, Volume Four and I have here with me Volume Five. Here is some of the artwork you can find inside of this book Rent a Girlfriend right there. I really love the design of the characters and just the overall style of the series and like I said the series it has a little tropey jokes here and there and standard rom-com fare but it's it's fun. Basically you're following Kazuya Kinoshita. He recently had a bad breakup with Mami-chan which a lot of people hate online. A lot of people hate that character. Here is Mami-chan right there on the cover. Bad breakup she's super popular and cute and I believe it only lasted like a month and he was super psyched because it's you know the hot popular girl in college and all that stuff so he he decides to try the rent of girlfriend service thing where you basically you are renting a girlfriend for a day I think. You go on all sorts of activities and whatnot so that's how you meet this girl right here Chizuru and as luck would have it our main character actually ends up falling in love with Chizuru and all sorts of hijinks and soot. Really fun stuff. I really enjoyed the show like I said earlier so I was happy to get this fan-services stuff aside. It's a fun comedy. Moving on to the folks at Viz Media I'm surprised every time how many licenses they have currently and it just turns into a ridiculous haul that I should name the Viz haul here at a weekend geekdom because there's so many books out there but this next title I've already read this isn't my first rodeo on that I have the anime for it but I wanted to own I want to own the manga just you know as a fan of the story I want to own every single volume and this is if you can believe it or not the 12th printing again I didn't have this so I was a little bit late on the train now it's kind of hilarious that the 12th printing is the one I decided to get and that's of course Hunter Hunter here's probably one of that as you can see with the new Shonen Jump logo or the recent one Viz logo right there at the bottom so this is really insane that it's been reprinted so many times but that is just a testament of how popular this series is right that you would have so many printings and it still sells out and everybody wants to grab this series but I do think you know this is one of those emblematic series that do represent Shonen manga as well as Shonen Jump and all that fun stuff so yeah Hunter Hunter volume one I do have the volumes after the anime so now I just need to get volume two all the way to volume 31 I think or 30 something like that so that's gonna be fun yay here is more Legend of Zelda here is Twilight Princess volume three continuing that series as well and let me show you a little bit of the art here I don't know if you follow that you probably do follow the Legend of Zelda series right it's world famous but just in case you've never heard of it and you don't want to track down the ridiculously expensive games the older ones because you know retro gaming is so expensive these days you can read the manga with wonderful illustrations and follow the Twilight Princess story in this format and of course here's volume four here's the cover for volume five volume six I gotta say while I love the art on the manga I don't really like any of the covers to be honest with you I find it kind of boring and repetitive to just have a link on the covers for these volumes but the art in this is just phenomenal I mean look at that so cool I made a first impressions video on my channel here is Asadora volume two from Naoki Uru Sawa I'm not gonna show too much because this is a fairly new series but you can check out that video where I talked a little bit about it there's some colored pages looking really awesome yeah continuing my Pokemon journey here is Pokemon Adventures volume seven I believe volume 10 is going to be the last one which is a shame I hope they put out the other series in this large format because this is such a fun series to read I really do enjoy it and I think aside from the games one of the best representations of the Pokemon franchise in my opinion has to be this manga in my honest opinion really cool stuff there next up Shoujo beat action I don't really have any Shoujo in my library even though I have read some digitally and this is a series that I've always wanted to get into and I know it's a long-running series so yeah I have to make space for it because I think we're up to volume 34 or 33 might be mistaken on that if you know let me know in the comment section thank you so much here is Yona of the dawn volume one this series is constantly going out of print by the way or out of stock and you have to wait a long while to get some of these volumes but here's volume two and volume three so I got the first three volumes to get started on that I've always wanted to read it I like what the story is about and the art looks really cool I love the drawings on this and the way the characters look yeah so yeah I'll probably do some sort of video on this even though the series is extremely popular and I am late to the game I still want to make a video on it just as a I don't know just to have it on the channel me talking about Yona of the dawn maybe for some newcomers like myself that want to know more about this so yeah more Jinji Ito action I missed this uh last month it is Jinji Ito's story collection love sickness right there let's take a look at the spine this time is green here's some of that awesome artwork don't have to say too much thank everybody if you're on youtube searching for manga you know about Jinji Ito right so this is another set of wonderful short stories I'll probably do a video on this soon-ish right yeah got a feel for that creepy artwork look at that that's gross and to finish off the series from Taiyo Matsumoto I had been mentioning for the past two hauls that I was getting sunny so here's the final books of that here we have volume four with that wonderful textured feel love these books here's volume five right there and volume six so I am already reading this and we'll make a proper series review as soon as I can but yeah here's a couple pages from the book so you can see the wonderful art hope I'm not spoiling anything because I just picked volume six randomly to show you guys but yeah sunny from Taiyo Matsumoto and here is Inuyasha set five episodes 112 to 139 so we're one more set away to completing the original Inuyasha series on Blu-ray that is amazing I love it Inuyasha is one of my all-time favorite anime but I would need the final act set on Blu-ray to have everything so yeah really excited about this I do get collected editions comic book wise graphic novels and here is east of west the apocalypse year three from Jonathan Hickman really love this series I can finally do a proper read-through and maybe do a review or a discussion video or maybe a live stream on it I don't know but I'm excited to talk about this here's a nice action scene right there got a through a little gaming action of course I love me some video games and I got a little bit of everything for the Xbox one I missed the hype train when it first released but what's good about this is that you can get it for cheap later on because yay the second hand aftermarket here is resident evil three remake for Xbox one I am collecting the resident evil series in for the Xbox for playstation 4 we've got battle chasers night war I was originally going to get it for the switch but that fell through and I found a cheaper copy for the ps4 something that I've always been wanting to get here is disguise one complete ever since this came out many many many years ago I've always wanted to play it never got a chance to grab a copy until now back then I guess just the art style the fact that was very anime and manga inspired I was really excited about this but never got to play it but now on the switch I'm ready to sink in I don't know what 100 hours of my life into this so let's go here we have a new pokemon snap which is awesome that this exists I'm so happy with this game I remember playing the n64 version uh I didn't I never owned it I played it maybe like four times I rented the game at uh blockbuster back in the day until I finished it but I never owned it per se but this is really fun that now so many years later I can own some form of pokemon snap on the switch so that's really cool love it and from limited run here we have fighting rage side scroller pixel based beat them up there's the insides at the card comes with stickers which is really cool I wish more companies would put the effort to do stuff like this at no additional cost and there's the booklet and the cart here's a little bit of the action right there at the back it's very uh anime inspired looks really cool plays great I do recommend it fighting rage for my continuing metroid collection that I'm building uh I didn't know this existed I saw it on a youtube video and I googled it and before prices start spiking up because that's just my luck I got the metroid prime metroid fusion two in one strategy guide not that I'm gonna replay these games maybe fusion because I've never actually finished that game but uh I just wanted to have this I just wanted to have uh all the accessible uh collectibles and memorabilia and thingamajigs for the metroid franchise that I can get my hands on that's not too pricy too uh hard to find but yeah really excited about this I had no idea that they made a two in one so I'm excited great cover right there two of the best games in my opinion but before I close out the video this is something really cool that I wanted to show you guys I've been waiting patiently for this to arrive let's see can I place it here yeah it does fit all right so that is the astro city mini from sega that came out last year unfortunately when the pandemic started I heard about it and I had it pre-ordered through was it amy amy I think and uh they cancelled all the shipping because of the pandemic and you could only do eventually like in the summer or something you could only do DHL and I don't I'm sorry I'm not a fan of DHL and over at my address they're terrible I had to say it like that so um I uh I had to cancel the order because of the pandemic and I was really disappointed because I had opened my second channel geos arcade where you know it's a work in progress but I am going to be making uh video game content there streams reviews unboxing stuff like that mostly streams playing games retro games and all that and I made a video talking about the astro city mini and how I've always wanted that's one of my goals in life I guess I don't know if I'll ever make it but it's it's something fun to look forward to I guess I've always wanted to play one of those big ones in real life in Japan and I don't know uh maybe own either an astro city or a candy cab at some point I know it's really impossible it's not impossible but really expensive but yeah so this was to me at least the next best thing fortunately a company like uh limited run uh is there to pick up stuff like this and they did an official translation of the box and the machine inside I guess uh with the arcade realms I don't know how far the translation went if it's just for cosmetics but most of the games you don't even need the english dialogue to enjoy and play so it doesn't really bother me but it's really cool that it got localized and it gave me an opportunity this year to actually pick it up so yeah look forward to an unboxing on that on my second channel geos arcade all right there you have it folks uh some things were missing I made a pretty cool order of manga that did not arrive because when I made the order one of the items got pushed back to june so that held everything up and then another item went out of stock I thought it was in stock but now I have to wait for it to get for it to return so they'll ship the whole order together it's a mess but at least I made the order it'll come eventually we'll check it out on the channel when it does and have some fun with that thank you everybody for liking
