Yesterday I got a few novels that I’ve been waiting for a while: _Slayers _(the last two volumes published by Tokyopop, as ) and Shakugan no Shana 2. I bought the latter as a “final warning” because I’m not very sure I’ll ever continue: the first Shana was written poorly and with a plot that didn’t make much sense (but again, I don’t think the animated version was shining in that respect).
