Fushigi Yuugi Genbu Kaiden © Watase Yuu/Shogakukan

The sporadic, perpetually late (to this blog at least) Chuang Yi manga release sked returneth! And boy, do I want, want, WAANT! the latest installments of Vampire Knight, FY Genbu Kaiden and My Fair Lady (Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge) that you see in the post title.

It's just too bad though that ordering from Kinokuniya here won't shorten the two-month (one month, if I'm lucky) wait.

Chuang Yi edition covers as well as blurbs after the list.
