Currently Collecting:

Any new comics by Aoyama Goushou, Takahashi Rumiko, Watanabe Michiaki, Oda Eiichirou.

Already long out, but we’re also looking to fill in:

We’d probably give a second look to anything (created) by Akahori Satoru, Kanzaka Hajime.
We may be looking into some more classic series by Tezuka Osamu or Matsumoto Leiji.
