Basara Vol 23

As tends to happen when series I love are coming to an end, I’ve been putting off reading the last few volumes. So it won’t end. Anyway…

I maintain facing your mentor in battle because he’s been sent to assassinate your Very Estranged girlfriend, and deliberately going in expecting to lose an arm just so you can kill him is kinda hard to top in the

I really need to start reading this series again. I read up to volume 10 or 11 (what had been released at the time), and then I distracted by other manga.

Yes, yes you do. And you need to post on it while you read, so I can read Basara posts.

It means that I have to find them somewhere (which, seeing as I'm in Japan, you would think it'd be easy, but English versions of various manga are a little hard to find here). I have seen Basara manga in Japanese, so I guess I could just buy those and look at the pretty pictures...

Since the main story is finally all published, I splured on the currently available 26 volumes in one go and made myself a lot more financially insecure. The big box arrived yesterday ^^. I'd only read up to vol 15 in scanlation.

It's one of many series where I'm glad I started reading early in publication (I think, though, that it's 27 volumes total.)

I wish Viz would publish the art books. Sadly, I don't think it's popular enough.

That's why I said currently published ^^. I'll by the last one when it's out anyway and since the main story is finished I can read that in one go.

Actually I used to own the first seven when they came out, but I didn't believe that they would finish the series at the time (so many other series were being stopped and Basara never had the popularity of, say, Fruits Basket), so I gave those away.

Expensive mistake, heh.
