I curse OneManga.com
I visit that damn site every single day and refresh the main page like 20 times a day (er, only when I'm a home). :B
These days, I find myself quite engrossed in Fairy Tail and Soul Eater. :D Of course, I tend to pretty much read whatever seems to be to my liking (usually the action-fantasy stuff).
I should feel guilty for reading the amount of comics I do. ._.~

I be one! Quite an extreme one at times. I usually prefer the comics to the animes soooo... There are times when I go off on an obsessive reading phase and pretty much devour anything to my liking (usually action-fantasy! [actually... 'heroic fantasy!' ]), but then there are times when I just calmly follow which ever series I'm reading at the moment (which for now be World Embryo, Tsubasa and Negima. Oh... and Fullmetal Alchemist [how I love Hiromu Arakawa's stuffs!]). Still, nothing can beat getting the actual book! (I should feel guilty, but I tell myself 'its part of me work!' X'D )

Bwee! I couldn't get into World Embryo. I even bought volume 1 in Japanese on a whim and ... bleh to impulse buying. It's sort of sad too cuz I loved the mangaka's previous work (Chrno Crusade).
I was following Tsubasa long before I discovered OneManga.com but I stopped after a while since I was downloading chapters and ran out of chapters to download. XD
I wonder what it is with CLAMP's style for it though. A friend of mine keeps saying the people have extendo limbs. ^^
Er, I take it you're reading RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and not some other Tsubasa manga. ^^;

I actually got terribly obsessed with World Embryo a year back (yep, it was the love of Chrno Crusade and Daisuke Moriyama that made me start reading this too!) but then the scanlations got abruptly cut off leaving me quite devestated and whiny. :'D The story really picked up (or actually got me 'oh noes!' hooked) by volume 2. Now that its finally being continued, I somehow can't seem to find the time to really get into it? And yep, its Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE I was talking about. I somehow stuck on even when I ran out of chapters to read! X'D Clamp's tendency to drag the stories, dramatize them worse than Indian soap operas, and easily loseable overly extended limbs getting chopped off a regular basis can get quite boring at times though! (Watch this complainer still follow the story... halfway obsessively!) I just realized I've never checked out OneManga.com!

It's the only online scanlation archive site I know! ^^
I used to be CLAMP junkie. I followed RG Veda, X, Wish, bought a bunch of their artbooks, and was semi-active on the CLAMP mailing list a while back. The one thing that really strikes and annoys me about their work is the constant repetitive dialogue and that destiny and fate are always a massive part of their stories. >_>
Oh and there's always someone that's angsty or emo. 9_9
One thing I do admire is that they really don't mind killing off popular characters (namely referring to Hokuto(?) from Tokyo Babylon). :P Now although she stayed dead, they DID "bring her back" for X in dream sequences. :O
It's actually sort of amazing that they're still such a popular mangaka group .... I mean, considering a lot of their ideas and themes are recurring in about every single one of their books. :P
Still, gotta hand it to 'em how versatile they are.
