Okay! January acquisitions were much more reasonable than those from the last few months. Hopefully I can continue this trend for a while. One of my local libraries had their January book sale which I made sure to take advantage of. You can’t go wrong filling a bag to the brim for the low, low price of four dollars. My prize manga for January was the first volume of Even a Monkey Can Draw Manga. Right now, even used copies of the book are selling for well over $200. I managed to get my copy for just above cover price, including shipping. Score! Thank you, eBay!
