Well, Its a few days late, but I'd like to wish everyone I know on Deviant Art a very Happy new year

I've also been thinking about what to get this year, some obvious things are manga as usual, mainly;

-Naruto (Please don't hit me with a paddle!)
-Bleach
-One Piece
-Claymore
-Busou Renkin
-Houshin Engi
-GinTama
-Dragonball and DBZ
-Hellsing
-FullMetal Alchemist
-Black Cat
-Rave Master (Or Rave in Japan, or Groove Adventure, whatever its called )
-Eyeshield 21
-I"s
-Hunter X Hunter
-MAR
-YuYu Hakusho
-Yu-Gi-Oh!
-JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
-Shaman King
-Love Hina

and so on.

This is mainly for learning what manga styles are out at this time. If you look at the top of my page it says "Anime Artist", but thats just in preparation for my future work coming from my uni course, the subject where I make manga!

I've also got a few games on the list to get;

-Nintendo Wii
-Super Mario Galaxy
-Metroid Prime 3
-Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (The US release 25/3/08)
-Final Fantasy XIII
-The Jump Ultimate Stars
-Haze
-Unreal Tournament 3
-Crysis
-Zelda: Twilight Princess
-Mass Effect
-Halo 3...
-Devil May Cry 4! (Out 3 days after I turn 19 ^^)
-Assassin's Creed
-MotorStorm
-Resistance: Fall of Man
-Burnout Paradise
-Elder Scrolls 4
-Heavenly Sword
-Singstar PS3 (O_o)
-The Simpsons Game
-Colin McRae: Dirt (RIP McRae)
-Folklore
-Eye of Judgment
-Command and Conquer series
-Supreme Commander
-WoW: Wrath of the Lich King (If a release date is ever decided)

and so on.

Anyways, I have a question to ask. Can anyone suggestion some decent manga drawing books, programs, equipment etc? Many thanks in advance.
