NYC, manga, Narnia

My bro and I went into the city today to raid the Japanese stores and Lush. We found far too much manga for far too cheap prices. Lots of christmas presents as well *g* I now have a very strange manga which seems to feature talking statues from Easter island as well as shoes (actually, it seems to feature talking statues in general like the statue of liberty and Buddha... still doesn't explain the shoes though...), and I picked up one of the new rereleases of Yu Yu Hakusho - these things are gorgeous with new beautiful covers, tons of colorful chibis of all the characters inside, glossy high definition prints of all the pages and all the color pages restored. I wish I could have bought them all, but I only got vol. 6 since I found the cover with Hiei and Yukina cute *L* I've also picked up my new calendar for the year - Fruit's Basket this time around. FMA nearly won the honour, but then Furuba had to go and have shirtless Kyo, Yuki, and Shigure (from when they transformed) for one month, and who could turn down looking at that happy sight for an entire month? *g*

We also picked up english manga volumres of Tactics, Wish, Excel Saga, and Yu Yu Hakusho 2-3. Oh, and the Saiyuki Reload tv art book (why did no one tell me there's a bath house scene in episode 10?!). I read Wish on the train and really enjoyed it. The main guy, Shuchiro, is so very laid back *L*

I saw Narnia the other day. My brother thought it was very true to the book, and I thought it was less so, but I enjoyed it nonetheless, and want my very own CGI gryphon. ( Spoilers and junk )
