Been forever since I did a Sylph post D: Man, the me who started this blog years ago would have beaten my ass with a flat tire for this blasphemy!
October’s cover is a gorgeous one, even if four out of the five boys look like they want to be anywhere else instead of posing in cosplay (the 5th one has already mentally checked out).
[edit – not sure what I did to piss off wordpress but it made this post disappear o__o well, ha wordpress cuz I saved this elsewhere!]
Meant to write this when I updated with Ane-Lala. Just a week late :P
Anyway, a little heads up here, folks. Recently, the blogging application I use has been acting wonky, in that it won’t update its layout to match my blog’s. In other words, this blogging program is supposed to mimic what my blog looks like to all of you. This way I can format things before I publish them so I can say I tried to make the post look somewhat decent :P Right now, everything looks generic and ugly on my end, which is kinda annoying.
In frustration, I decided to write this post in wordpress. However, about halfway through, I forgot to save and when I put my computer into sleep mode, Windows decided sleep = turn off computer for an update :D (you sick bastard, Windows). Thus I lost a good chunk.K
Needless to say, I went back to using my blog program, ugliness be damned. I can handle it if it means keeping my stuff (this program will save a backup in case something similar happens – Windows tends to do the “you meant restart not sleep right?” maneuver a lot :/). However, I’m still bitter about the deleted data so I didn’t even bother trying to continue where I last saved. Thus you’ll notice things go from excessive wordy to blunt and done haha.
With that, here’s the Sylph post! (two issues late!)
I’m no good at reviews but I figured I could just blah on what I’ve read. If anything, just to give the titles exposure because a causal fan who doesn’t stalk various publishers on twitter wouldn’t know about all the translated manga coming our way.
Don’t look at me like that….
Made this post like 2 months ago ah well (also, yes, I was lazy and took pictures instead of scanning :P):
Sup peeps! Don’t think I forgot about Sylph ~ I just happened to buy Lala first before I got an email telling me my Sylph had come in :D As you can see, on the cover we have Hakase Ga! Even though Hanase is there, we have Apricot (and the Professor…kinda) so yay ~ The color pages inside advertise the usual – BroCon, Kamigami no Asobi, Durarara, Uta no Prince-sama, Valvrave, Dear Girl Stories, etc. No freebies with this issue. Sylph is still doing its BroCon mail-in whoring. I don’t think I ever posted about it but one issue you’d get a necklace with a replica of Natsume’s house key. Another issue had a replica of Azusa’s glasses. Another ‘nother issue had a pretty decent sized Julie plushie. This issue you can get a little keychain plushie fashioned like one of the stuffed animals in the pedo-bro-doctor’s coat pockets (I actually have no idea who this brother is. Think he’s probably a pediatrician or something not pedo-y. My mind just turned him into a pedo because adult man x plushies and candy in his pockets = pedophile).
(Note that you have to pay money to get these mail-in goodies so…yeah.)
On to the manga!!
Guess who randomly picked up the newest Lala? This bored person lol ~ I was curious to see what had changed in the issue now that Maid-sama and Vampire Knight are done ~
OMG! Finally! Sylph double post is UP! Today we have the July and August issues of Sylph ~ (even though right now it’s almost the end of October oh gawd). This is probably filled with so many typos but…fuq it! *hits the publish button* xD
Man I really have been letting this blog go…
Sorry peeps.
I’ll try to do more journal entries to show I’m still alive!
(Don’t worry – I’ll be sprinkling in some Sylph & Aria & whatever posts too ;D)
