As those of you who read manga may know, there is a little box in the manga section that allows readers to request certain volumes and series that they do not see on the shelf. Readers comments are very important to me when it comes to buying manga, and I make an effort to buy what the readers request. However, the YA department has a very limited budget when it comes to manga, so progress is slow. I want you all to know how much I appreciate you're comments and requests, so KEEP'EM COMM'IN!

The fallowing is the list of mangas that have been requested. I will do my best to order at least some of each over the next year!

I'm so impressed with all the stories and pictures being posted, they are just fantastic! If you haven't yet, you should take some time to go read all the great stories being posted in the teen forum! The pictures are great too! Keep up the good work everyone!

Also, more teens than ever before are completing Bingos and winning prizes! If you haven't brought in your Bingo Card for a prize yet hurry, hurry! The bowling certificates are almost gone!

You all are doing a great job reading this summer! So keep up the good work! Participation like this is what allows us to do bigger and better things for you every year! So thanks for participating!
Don't forget we have a lot of great events planned for the coming weeks, Laura and I hope to see you there!
