interesting, nausicaa always present in all these collections! 
is it different from the movie?
impressed by all your hardcore maths books too!
Probably has to do with the upcoming bookclub 
The movie covers roughly the first volume-and-a-half of seven volumes total, though even then there’s some significant simplifications in the plot. Miyazaki wanted only to write the manga, but was pressured into adapting it as a movie, and he was never a fan of the ways he had to tweak the plot to make a self-contained story for it.
Nausicaa arrived from Mandarake last week, and the rest is an Amazon.jp order that got here today. (Amazon Japan are still really bad at packaging books – they were just loose in one of those big cardboard pouch type packages, so they were free to bash into each other, and one of the obi is torn as a result.)
About half of this is book club related The non-fiction book about archaelogy and the Edo period is one I picked up because jpdb.io had a deck for it and the subject interests me. Akagawa Jirou and the latest Tokyo Bandwagon book are old friends. And 御宿かわせみ is a new author to me (mystery type stuff in the Edo period sounded good to me and the series is apparently pretty popular).
マリアビートル has one of those “full-height obi” we’ve talked about before in this thread.
骨と墓の考古学 looks interesting 
Let me know what you end up thinking of it!
Thank you! Most of them I used during undergraduate/bachelor, the stuff we covered during class sets things up for more advanced topics in some of these books.
One book is missing (combinatorial optimization), which I took to work for a project I’m working on to refresh myself on the topic and found out very quickly it wouldn’t even help me very much. After finishing my degree in mathematics I got myself the all the math you missed book. I did not continue with graduate/masters, although it is something I’m still interested in getting. Sacred Mathematics I got recently, but haven’t really touched it yet. I’d like to because geometry is one of my weaker areas and maybe I can see some sangaku when I take a trip to Japan.
My new books, bought with my CDJapan points! (I had enough that they even covered part of shipping)
The 10th and final volume of the new cover edition/continuation of the バッテリー manga (now I just need 8 and 9 so I can pick up where the original leaves off, but CDJ doesn’t any before 10) plus a baseball novel illustrated by バッテリー’s mangaka. バッテリー’s pretty dang thick though, like, it’s even thicker than the novel and it’s a right proper hardcover:
Was not expecting that.
Fresh haul
After probably visiting 10 different BOOKOFFs, I finally found one that had a copy of Ouran. And it served. All volumes ¥110 each 
However vol 2 is new from the limited Ouran cafe! I went there earlier in the day and was worried about being able to get vol 2 in time for the offshoot club.
The other 2, 夏目 and アリア, I got because they were ¥110 too and Aria seems like trashy vamp romance but I am a sucker for bishonen vamps
I also found Takarazuka!! It was at the same BOOKOFF as the Ouran vols. Seems weirdly fitting for the anime that introduced me to it (indirectly) to come almost full circle
I love your book choices. <3
I feel like I might know nearly all of the related manga. 
Hard to tell scale in the photo, but these are A4-sized hardbacks.
@javerend mentioned the reader in another thread, so I picked it up since I found a cheaper second hand copy. Then when it arrived I decided I really needed the grammar book to go with it… The grammar book is allegedly new, but it was two thirds of list price; my guess is that’s because the cover printing condition isn’t great – it actually looks a touch shabbier than the second hand volume…
That’s why they invented bananas.
A grammar
Feels like it’s missing a word or sentence.
Yoo, 気になってる人が男じゃなかった!
Happy birthday ~
My collection mainly consists of Bungo Stray Dogs books at the moment! I have the first two of the main series, the anthology comics, and then a couple of others that are probably a few years away from being translated into English, and I’m hoping I can get to the point where I can read them in Japanese before then. At the moment they’re definitely too advanced for me, but it’s nice to flip through them every couple of weeks and notice small improvements in what I can understand. Good for keeping in mind for my goals!
The little books in the top corner are train books that are stories by the original authors but with BSD themed covers.
I’ve also ordered Horimiya vol 1 for the Absolute Beginners Book Club so that should be arriving tomorrow
Omg, the happy box manga is so cute 
Also, I see tanuki
