Yotsuba&! Volume 3 (Yotsubato) by Kiyohiko Azuma

Very annoying - I got this from the library, and someone had cut out the index page and the title page of every chapter. There may not have been any actual comics missing, but I can't be sure.

Still, that which I could read I still really enjoyed.

Fruits Basket Collector's Edition, Vol. 1 (Fruits… by Natsuki Takaya

3.5 stars isn’t an option so I rounded up. I was a little confused at the beginning of the story but I didn’t give up. I had a hard time telling which character was talking when and some transitions were difficult to follow or didn’t exist.

The artwork is beautiful and the story cute.… (more)

Love this story!

This particular edition was a bit confusing as it combined Volumes 1 - 12 of the series, which included the intros at the beginning of each volume (which was unnecessary).

But the story and art is amazing and I love these books!
