If you were stranded on a deserted island...

and could only have one manga with you for entertainment, which would it be? I personaly would choose Rurouni Kenshin#6 because... it is the longest I've seen of RuroKen and I like that story anyway. :sweat:

I think I would keep the Azumanga Daioh manga in handy, just so I can keep my sense of humor from withering away. :D

Probably Trigun Maximum #1, but only because it has my all-time favorite official picture of my Nicholas in it.

Well, personally, I'd follow GK Chesterson's model and ask for "An Amatuer's Guide to Shipbuilding and Navigation" ;)

Manga are too short to bring just one, unless you're talking one series, in which case, I'd probably go with Love Hina.

I would not bring manga. Instead I would bring paper and a pen to write something of my own. Being on an island with only one thing to read (manga or otherwise) would kill me. If I wrote my own stuff I could entertain myself much longer.

Acutally, I was just thinking about it. I wouldn't bring manga at all. I'd bring a coconut and palm fronds. Then I'd construct a satellite phone out of those supplies like the Profesor from Gilligan's Island.

Why would you bring "a coconut and palm fronds" those thing are already on the island most likely.

Nope. This is one of those dreaded "sand only" islands. Very exclusive. Not even a Wal-mart could be found on its barren shores.

Well, I guess you'll only need one volume then, since you'll be dead of dehydration soon...

Actually, I'm building a satellite phone, remember? So I figure my rescuers will be on their way before I even get thirsty.

Yes, but depending just how far out the desert island is, you may still die before they arrive.

Also, hope Gilligan isn't with you or expect a long sojurn there ;)

If he were, I'd build a very sturdy cell out of bamboo and put him in there before I did anything else.

Well, you're really in trouble then. The Gilligan's island crew depended on people "accidentally" stumbling accross them quite frequently for all of their plot devices to work. If you're too remote, I'm afraid things will not work out so well for you.

LOL. If the other castaways had done that, they could have been off the island in a week.

Wait a minute... didn't you say there was nothing but sand on the island? Where is the bamboo coming from?

Well, it would migrate across the ocean, of course. Carried by swallows whose nation of origin I know not and whose air speed velocity cannot, therefore, be tabulated.

. . . I'm really hoping you've seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail or that made about 0% sense.

No, I got it.
But of course, by invoking that, there will be nothing to eat on the island except
SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM!
