Wow. That is one impressive collection that you have Kaga. I especially enjoy your plushes and your Japanese manga. As for myself, I don't own any manga in Japanese, and has only seen very few in my lifetime. I personalty prefer to buy all my manga in English, that way I can read it. Despite watch/ reading many anime/manga, I know very little Japanese myself. I do happen to own a few plushes myself, my favorite being my huge Esmeralda plush from Marwaru Penguindrum. I bought it for a cosplay awhile ago, but I have yet to finish it. Have any of you heard of or been to a Half Price Books Bookstore?

Hah, well thanks. Truthfully though I'm not exactly fluent in Japanese, either. I've picked up on a surprising number of words from watching anime subbed, and I can read katakana pretty well, but that's about it. In Trigun's case, the only words written in katakana are pretty much limited to proper nouns and the word "plant". Other than that... well, the pictures are nice to look at. XD I actually didn't buy any of the Japanese manga myself, though. I got all of it as a gift, and despite my inability to read most of it, I was still pretty thrilled about it. 

I've never heard of this Half Price place, though. I don't think it exists in my area. Are you sure it's a large chain thing?
