andrastePlease somebody talking me out of buying this. I don't need a t-shirt I can't wear in front of my parents!
Speaking of which, I am now all caught up on Saiyuki Reload and am looking for manga to buy. I've got the first two volumes of Mushishi [1] and the first of Cantarella [2], which I plan to pick up the rest of. Is there something else I should be reading?
Anime series I have enjoyed include: Trigun, Serial Experiments Lain, Hellsing, and Twelve Kingdoms. I liked what I've seen so far of Berserk and Fullmetal Alchemist. I am not much interested in high school romance or sports no matter the gender/sexual preferences of the protagonists.
[1] This is awesome, and if you like fantasy/horror stories you should go and buy it now regardless of how you feel about anime/manga in general.
[2] This is also awesome, if a story where Cesare Borgia is a bishonen whose soul has been sold to demons by his evil father sounds like a good idea to you. Incest with his sister fits the manga format perfectly! And Cesare has a boyfriend who keeps trying to kill him! AND NICCOLO MACHIAVELLI IS A SORCERER WHO TURNS INTO A MOTH!!!

I approve of both these plans! I will hold off on borrowing Fullmetal Alchemist for a while, until I finish with Mark's Berserk, but I suggest we lock Ed in a box immediately.
