Anyone reading any good manga?

Viz really butchered the art with its lame overlaid English sound effects. The typography was also lame ... there oughta be a law).

I know what you mean. They have got a lot better with it lately though. At least they try to change the fonts a bit for different sounds but they just don't have the skill to properly make it fit in. I prefer to have the little '*' with an English explanation underneath though.

My local library isn't big on manga, and I'm on a limited budget, so I can't go crazy buying manga (especially if I want to buy anime).

It's good that your library has manga. Doubt anything like that happens much in the UK. Would save me a lot of cash! Prefer buying manga to anime though. I'd say im a manga fan first then an anime fan second. Get a better feeling from manga and you can take it anywhere.
