I Can Has Join Library Task Force Now? (And the Mystery of the Cheap Manga)

Smallest size was S, and it was still a wee bit big for me, but screw practicality, I forked out the cash and got it (okay so I did waffle around a bit because there was a better fitting Moyashimon shirt I could’ve gotten instead, but that would’ve been defeating the purpose of my going to the shop in the first place, and I didn’t have enough cash for both. Damn anime merchandising and the absurd prices they charge for a pieces of cloth imbued with the power of FAN LOVE!!!). It’s Summer anyways, perfect time to be wearing baggy T-shirts, and wearing it now as I type this, I have zero regrets =D VIVA TOSHOKAN SENSOU!!!
Also got more second-hand manga, this time, titles I’ve never even heard of and were probably published way back when I was still watching Doraemon or something. Can anyone help me identify them? After some googling, the one on the right (Yagami-kun no Katei no Jijou a.ka Yagami-kun’s Family Affairs) did have a j-dorama and a Production I.G. OAV circa 1990, and that’s about all I know now. The one on the left draws an absolute blank from me and I still bought all (?) 7 volumes of it. Why?
If you can’t see the price tags there, both sets of manga were priced at a ‘whopping’ 105yen – and then were given the 50% price slash. WTF???? I didn’t even have to give much thought about it, who cares that I’ve never heard of these titles in my life and there’s probably some really shady secret as to why they’re priced so damned low (through the shrink wrap, they seem to be in relatively good condition despite their obvious age), when am I ever gonna get 11 volumes of manga for less than the price of a bottled vending machine drink ever again?? (Please don’t answer that). So there, more manga to add to the top of my wardrobe, aka, the pile of shrinkwrapped books I may never find the time to read…

Haha that shirt is awesome! Just watch out for mean Administration bitches who will play pranks on you for being part of the LTF.

I hope that HLJ manages to snag a Library Task Force shirt for me–it will be awesome for wearing to work (since i am lowly enough that I can get away with wearing an innocuous t-shirt on occasion) and just walking around. I put it on order and it’s on backorder, so…

I’d like to see you prance around in army overalls instead. =D

@Everyone: GET THIS SHIRT NOW (Or the “Say No to Media Betterment Act” one, but it might not be as okay to wear shirts with wonky English grammar in your respective countries =P)

A shirt is fine, but I like the army fatigues better.XD
And….100yen is like RM3..o_O how much was the shirt btw?
