yesterday i found a small public library near where i live. most importantly, this place has quite a collection of manga to rent. yaay!!!
i love buying things (hey who doesn't?), and i love collecting manga. i don't borrow by the way. i don't rent. it's just ... such a joy when i find a good manga and collect them. i'm such a nerd.
the problem is, every month, almost twenty something manga titles are being published. and it's only from one publisher! so it's pretty hard to keep up...thus the concept of renting suddenly sounds so beautiful to my ears.
behold my first rent :

basically, it's crap. sorry.
i don't wanna say much about the story. just imagine that movie Entrapment, the junior high version.
i was first attracted to the drawing, it looks cute with plenty of chibi and weird faces around. but that stops there. the characters are average, the pace is too quick in building the drama. the conversations don't intrigue me and somehow the exaggeration about three junior high students being high class thieves doesn't fit in well.
volume 5 is on the way, but i just can't relate.
