Well, I read a whole lot of different types of manga, and I have to say Nodame Cantabile is one of my favorites. It’s in my top 5 list. I already love music, but I found that it got me more interested in the orchestra made me listen to more classical music.

To feel the power of the music of Nodame, just watch the anime or the Live Action drama. Inspired a few kids I know to start piano lessons.

Hmmm… I was thinking about searching out V3-9 to catch up, but your comment makes me think I might not want to bother. What was happening in 7-9 if there was no forward plot movement?

Actually, Holic totally recovered for me in the tenth volume. from about 7-9, I felt like it was dragging its feet for some reason and was getting pretty frustrated. Volume 10 was more plot development than that series has had, ever. I still kinda liked the dragging parts, but it made me mad that CLAMP waited so long to reveal the roles of the other two human characters.

Oh, yeah, Maison Ikkoku! I came back to that after years, once they started coming out in the $10 format, and stuck with it til the end.

I never did follow up with XXXholic after reading the first volume. It was good (like much of CLAMP’s stuff), but it didn’t do much for me. Neither did Tsubasa (just sold a pile of those volumes on eBay).

The only series I can think of that I dropped (or stopped reading) for whatever reason only to pick up again later were Maison Ikkoku and Cardcaptor Sakura, both of which I then kept up with until the end (and in Maison Ikkoku’s case, it was really worth it!).

I got bored with Cheeky Angel, XXXholic, and Crimson Hero, too. I still like Kitchen Princess.

I actually have enjoyed the Cheeky Angel books I’ve read.(up to 9) Nothing truly grand about it, but I thought it was funny and am curious to see what happens to Meg.

Yet I can’t seem to find the series in stores anymore.

Actually, once you get the hang of ‘em, cream puffs are quite easy to make. The first time I made them, I was surprised how simple they were. It was on my second attempt (probably because I had year-old memories of it being super-easy at that point) that was challenging. I’d say if you can follow a recipe cream puffs aren’t so hard to make — I think my problem the second time is I only skimmed the recipe thinking “I did this once a year ago, I just need a quick refresher.” As I recall, there aren’t temperature or measurement issues to get just right, just boiling water and stirring vigorously.

Well that’s not too embarassing, is it? Let’s just see if we can get that fixed…

Yeah, I know, but that’s Del Rey’s issue. MY image is right. :)

The image for Kitchen Princess is actually a different book (Princess Resurrection)…
