Have now lost my excellent Ikea kitchen knife as well. Things hate me.

English

Flaubert's Parrot
Coraline
The Winter Queen
The Turkish Gambit

Japanese:

Onmyouji vol 1-- read the unread latter half
Onmyouji- Dragon Flute

Shin Petshop of Horrors 1 & 2

Hatsu Akiko-- Peony Lantern

Hikisakareta Tsubasa-- Soul of the Dragon King 5
-- which is *not* the end of the series. There's one more volume, 純白の魔王, which is OOP and available only from amazon.jp's bloodthirsty lackeys. (And as my card expires *in* February of this year, they won't accept my card any more.) So I must resign myself to never finding out what happens.

*hugs* Oh, I feel you on missing the last book in a series. And I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your knife, the knives in my house never stay around for long. I suspect my grandma takes whenever she comes by. XD

I keep telling myself it's a stupid fantasy series that took me thirteen years to read, so why should I care about its ending? Except that I have a need to /know/ what happens. Gah.

No one comes into my house except my brothe ron rare occasions. It's just rapidly going senile me-- using knives for opening parcels and forgetting where I put them down. I do this with books too.

Ah... I would offer my help to look for it but, I wouldn't even know where to start. Well, actually I do. Hmn. I'll have to take someone to translate for me though. >__>

Aw *hugs* I'm sure you're not going senile. Well, unless you talk to people who aren't there anymore. (Which is what my great grandmother does.) But people forget where they put things often as well. *smiles cheerily*

One starts at book-off, I think, where I shall be at the end of April. So possibly all is not lost.

Alas, I talk to people who aren't there period. Working out dialogue amongst various characters and all.

Ah, I hope you can find it then! What is Book-off? I am assuming that it is a fair or something similar?

I see, well.. *pets* I.. Hmnm... Well.. You're not going senile. Full stop.

Book-off is god's gift to manga readers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_Off). Second hand bookstore chain, all through Japan and in New York. Also Vancouver should I want to buy manga without crossing borders. Costs an arm and a leg to get there, though. There are times I wish I lived in a smaller country.
