Novels
"運命は銀弓のように"/Unmei ha Ginkyuu no You ni
めぐみ和季/I can't read it but I'm guessing Megumi Kazuki
A girl who is a "Seitensha" suddenly becomes a thief in training...I think. I can't really remember the blurb and can you tell I'm buying this book for the art? I've made worse choices.

"ダークローズ・プリンセス蒼炎の輪舞"/Darkrose Princess: Souen no Rinbu
榎木洋子/Enoki Youko
This is part of a series; I read the first book and didn't hate it. It's...gothic.

"星宿姫伝しろがねの追憶"/Seishukukiden: Shirogane no Tsuioku
"星宿姫伝しろがねの鼓動"/Seishukukiden: Shirogane no Kodou
"星宿姫伝しろがねの覚醒"/Seishukukiden: Shirogane no Kakusei
"星宿姫伝しろがねの継承"/Seishukukiden: Shirogane no Keishou
菅沼理恵/Suganuma Rie
A normal girl suddenly finds out she is a special priestess of some kind and has four handsome male protectors taking care of her. Heh heh heh.

"いつか青空の下で-そして恋がはじまる〈2〉"
月村奎
"Soshite Koi ga Hajimaru" continued. Asami and Miki are in luff.

No explanation needed:
"小説鋼の錬金術師 (5) ~それぞれの絆~"/Hagane no Renkinjutsushi the novel 5: Sorezore no Kizuna

Artbooks
"宮城とおこイラスト集 fantastic!~ファンタスティック!~"/Fantastic!
宮城とおこ/Miyagi Tooko
A collection of art by Miyagi Tooko. This is saving me from having to buy a whole series of novels with her art in them. That would be much more expensive.

"ピエタ―敬虔な心"/Pieta: Keiken na Kokoro
あづみ冬留/Azumi Touru
A collection of art by Azumi Touru. Some of this art, as well as Miyagi Tooko's art, might be on that River Zildjian gallery but I want the books for myself.

"TALES OF PHANTASIA The Animation ART Graphy"
"テイルズオブジアビスイラストレーションズ藤島康介のキャラクター仕事"/Tales of the Abyss Illustrations
"コゲどんぼ画集「ぴたテン」"/Pita-ten art book

Manga tankoubon
"チェックメイト"/Checkmate
"ONE×3 1 (1)"
"ONE×3 2 (2)"
雪リコ/Yuki Riko
I'm not sure what Checkmate is about but I like ONEx3 and I like Yuki Riko's art. In particular, I have my eye on a certain silly foreigner in ONEx3. This person is also the author of a certain picture in a certain doujinshi I own: Edkitty, with his shirt off, holding a rose in his mouth. Majiko!, the author of the Code Geass manga, is in there, too.

"あなたへの月"/Anata e no Tsuki
小桜池なつみ/Oouchi Natsumi
A series of short stories by Oouchi Natsumi. I happen to like her art, but I find her current series, Aozora Pop, to be a bit dull, so I'm getting this and waiting for her to improve before I buy something else.

"ブルーリボン"/Blue Ribbon
"ルーズリーフ"/Looseleaf
持田あき
Beautiful art and beautiful stories with pretty imagery; I read both serialized in Ribon over the last year or so.

"EREMENTAR GERAD 10"
"EREMENTAR GERAD 11"
"EREMENTAR GERAD-蒼空の戦旗 3"
"JINKI:EXTEND 8 (8)"
"鋼の錬金術師 (15)"
"紳士同盟【クロス】 (5)"

...Holy cow. Why don't you try ordering a few from Yesasia instead for the free shipping? That way you can get more for the same money ^^;

Anyway, enjoy your books :)

Um. Uh. That sounds like a GREAT idea, actually, but I'm not sure what I'd be able to get there and what I wouldn't...

I'm always very suspicious of shipping costs from Amazon JP, they double the price. ^^; Save Amazon for the older books Yesasia doesn't stock, because their listings are a bit haphazard. But Hagaren, ShinKuro, Abyss Illustrations, Erementar Gerad - Yesasia should have them all.

However, because their romanizations are very weird and they often also stock the English and Chinese versions, it's easier to search by ISBN code. Just copy-paste that off Amazon. 8D
