Random Thoughts

Manga:
Hatsukoi Limited 9: Meguru, who was uncomfortable with her large asset, was harrassed by his senior Takei to join the swimming club.
Tsubasa 174: Syaoran made it to the dream world. Clone Syaoran entered dream world as he knew Syaoran has a feather on him. Syaoran used his magic to protect Sakura in spheric wind. Syaoran proclaimed that he'll personally defeat the clone. One of the best chapter in Tsubasa. Next chapter will be even more interesting ! BUT no chapter next week. Darn!
Tennis 367: We learnt that Ryoma suceeded in using a branch to hit a stone but an accident happened. Momo perfomed a dunk smash and Ryoma had a flashback asking Momo to perform the dunk smash again.
Cross Game 105: Wakaba provide a profile of Akane to Koh. The soba store is ready to go.
Air Gear 185: Boring!!!

Purchase:
Received my order from Bookcafe last week and had an enjoyable weekend reading all 20volumes of Tsubasa Chronicle. The action bases and Suzuka guide arrived as well. Now just need to wait for FF Mini Collection.

Kotobukiya Belldandy Goddess version has just been shipped. Should receive it next week eventhough EMS since weekend's approaching. ARIA Desktop calendar will be released end of this month but probably need to wait till early December.
