[IN THE LIBRARY is a very large, nay, beefy man. He has a stack full of books on molecular science and psychiatry in his arms, and is currently browsing the ...manga ...section.]

Can someone direct me to the compilations?

(OOC: Feeling tired, slowing down! Will try to pick up threads tomorrow after work!)

[is over at one of the tables, dog-earing textbooks like a mad man!]

The what?

[steady_as_a]

Collections of various works. I'd rather borrow a compilation than individual volumes at the moment.

[looks at the text-books] Studying?

[o_sarchasm]

Sorry. Can't help you there.

-- Ah, yeah, you could say that.

[steady_as_a]

That is fine.

Mm?

[jaded_legacy]

Why?

[steady_as_a]

So I might read them.

[jaded_legacy]

But what sort of compliations? Why do you want to read them?

[steady_as_a]

Currently, I would hope for manga compilations -- that is to say, collections of 'recent' chapters of graphic novels.

It is a hobby.

I'm not sure. Try the periodicals?

[steady_as_a]

Mmm. [browsing for now] If I cannot find them, I shall.

[swornmyoaths]

If you can't find 'em there, try the Internet!

[steady_as_a]

Thank you. [glances at the atlas]

Which compilations?

[steady_as_a]

I am looking for a variety of manga compilations, so I might try a variety of series quickly.

[letshilbertluv]

What is manga?

[steady_as_a]

A genre of graphic novel literature. [nods towards the shelf unit he's in front of!]

[there_be_two]

Are you looking for compilations of anything in particular?

[steady_as_a]

Manga, yes. There are often books put out which are compilations of then-recent chapters from a variety of graphic novels put out by the publisher. I was hoping to see which of those are available here.

[there_be_two]

Oh. I'm afraid I have no knowledge of where those might be. …Might I ask what manga is?

[steady_as_a]

I appreciate it nevertheless. Ah, it is a style of graphic novel.
