A few days ago I was talking to my boyfriend about this manga called Alive. It's a sci-fi written by Tadashi Kawashima and illustrated by Adachitoka about this virus/parasite thing that causes its human host to commit suicide, with those capable of resisting gaining weird super powers.

I started reading it over a year ago when I was in Oregon but, upon moving back to Pennsylvania, I discovered that no one knew what it was let alone where to find it. I thought it was doomed to stay on a dusty shelf in the corner of my mind until I had the funds to buy the whole series online.

Enter the mail guy.

I received the first five books of Alive, for FREE, from Jason Thompson. Who's Jason Thompson and why would he send me free manga, you ask? He would be the guy running the 365 Days of Manga contest over at Suvudu.com

He's giving away five manga a day for an entire year so plug that little gem into your navigation bar (or click the picture below if you're lazy), sign up and you too could win five FREE manga.

Thanks, Jason. You are epic. <3
