my mum was asking why I bought more manga

But it's "Here is Greenwood"! I can't be expected not to buy it. I mean, it's available in English. It's not like I bought the DVDs (yet, haha).

I can only be expected to have a certain amount of self-control.

Speaking of self-control, I bought way too much at the 60th anniversary limited display of the Moomin Trolls. A one week exhibit at the Isetan department store in Shinjuku. Gosh, it was busy! I was glad I caught it though. Once in a lifetime Moomin goods. Haha. I love living here.
