• Chapter Book:
  
  1. The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict (The Mysterious Benedict Society) - Prequel - by Trenton Lee Stewart.
     - Borrowed from BPL.
     - Read by Del Roy.
     - The story is about Mr. Benedict when he lived in orphanages, making friends, solving mysteries, and how he became the person he is.
• Anime:
  
  1. Miracle Train Episodes 10-13 - The End
     - Crunchy roll.
     - I like the characters (train stations) but my favorite character is Fumi Roppongi.
     - Episode 10 is so funny. I thought Daimon was the conductor, but he turns out to be another station :)
     - Episode 11 is very sad.
     - Episode 12 and 13 are about Akari.
     - At the end of the series, the conductor never took off his mask.
     - I wouldn't mind more episodes :) I rewatched most episodes last week since I started to like the series better and better and it ends too soon.
  2. Broken Blade Episodes 4-6
     - Watch on Crunchy Roll.
     - At the end of the series, I agree with this: "What was that fight for?"- Many lives cut short! The true bad guys who started the war are safe in HQ.
     - Zess was shown with his daughter and wife. He'll come back to rescue Leo. The manga is still on-going so...
• Manga:
  
  1. Slam Dunk 25-26 by by Takehiko Inoue.
     - borrowed from ILL
     - started the 2nd game, only a few minutes in.

Rambling:

• Out in May 2013 in France, Kids on the Slope (9 volumes complete + 1 extra) by Yuki Kodama, anime is available at Crunchyroll, is licensed by Kazé and Ôji to Majo to Himegimi (8 volumes on going in Japan) by Kou Matsuzuki, the author of Happy Cafe is licensed by Panini Comics, via Manga Conseil. I already got the complete series of the former in Japanese so I'm not sure if I'll get it in French, but I've been tempted by the second series and now I can read it, I'll get it for sure.
• I got Viz March newsletter last week and they'll release From Far Away in ebook, Viz Newsletter 3/5, at the upcoming section. I'm so glad for this news despite having one set in English and one in Japanese. I'm tempted for the 3rd one. Maybe when they're on sale during Xmas time! eta: today's viz newsletter Red River is in the upcoming list: Viz Newsletter 3/12.
• and Kino's newsletter Kino free shipping tonight and tomorrow.
• From Vertical Tumbler, results of the survey here, maybe they will license My Little Monster by Robiko, 12 volumes complete, anime is available on Crunchyroll.
