I tend to burn through manga on the first read - maybe it's because it's so visual? There are less words on the page? I have no idea, but that first read is super quick. The second read (and if I liked the title, the reads after that and after that) are much slower, and I catch more. I see the little jokes in the background, or the foreshadowing, or just the beauty of some of the art.

I have read FAKE probably five times now, and loved it more with each reading. Descendants of Darkness, also wonderful. Gravitation? Great to begin with, but I got tired of it around volume 7. I read fan scanlations of Deathnote prior to buying the print manga, and yes - it is wonderful stuff.

What else did Miz Boni send you? I am intrigued!
