Maoyuu Maou Yuusha - Kono Watashi no Mono Tonare, Yuusha yo Kotowaru! which is being scanlated by Extras [yeah, the name is incredibly long] might help a bit. I haven't actually seen this anime/light novel/manga but perhaps Spice and Wolf. Even if they don't help, they should at least entertain you. :P

I know that this is a little off topic, but did anyone see the latest chapters of The Three Times? All of the manga references and cosplays were sending me into a little inner flurry of fan-ish happiness. D. Gray Man! Haruhi Suzumiya! Ouran Host Club! Shugo Chara! Reborn! And I'll throw in Fate/Stay Night too, even though I think it's technically a game. So much geeky fanservice in just those four chapters...

I felt so nerdy while reading that chapter.
Haruhi Suzumiya needs a third season. Season one is like, the must see for all anime fans. Season two made me rage with the Endless Eight episodes, but the rest was really nice. If only a third season was made...
D.Gray-Man is really making me sad right now. All the angst and tragedy is really making me just so, sooo sad. But I'm still a big fan of the series.

"We have entered an endless recursion of time..." It's crazy how the creators are major trolls, yet the franchise is still ridiculously popular. Although I have to say that the movie was really good.

D. Gray Man runs on angst, didn't you know? It's what makes the characters so woobie-licous. I can't remember how many times Allen's been tied up, or given severe bodily harm, or forced to watch someone be hurt while he's helpless, or been given severe bodily harm while tied up while being helplessly watched... you get the idea. Although the recent Alma/Kanda and Apocryphos arc were particularly depressing.

(Out-off topic)Just an advice about looking business manga to learn the vocabulary, i dont think u will find the solution in manga, yesterday after hearing a conference of 10h from researcher from all countrys( East Anglia england, Berlin, Toulouse, Paris, Barcelona (a premiun nobel candidate), Venice, Milan, Praga, Lessius (belgic), Neatherlands, etc.. etc..) almsot everything was understanable for my poor english level (toefl ibt around 95-110), my advice to u is to read the economist that helps a lot, u will improve a lot more ur english and u can find a torrent each week that is totaly free ;) and what u will read will be of help in future.

I totally agree.

Manga isn't the best source to learn English especially for business jargon. Mangas are first and foremost released in Japanese language. After that it is scanlated / translated in English. There is no guarantee that the usage of English is the most accurate. I have found umpteenth number of lingual, grammatical mistakes in them. When one tries to translate a language to the other even if you are accomplished at doing it, sometimes it would make no sense. Instead, reading articles of your topic of interest through magazines, newspapers, journals, internet, using dictionary, listening to news reports, videos on internet would enhance English. Understanding the business/commerce related topics isn’t difficult at all. Read specific books related to the topic, go through it as many times as you want, jot down difficult words, check out dictionary, practice and you’ll get there for sure. Usually beginner level business books give all necessary definitions for specific terminology; you wouldn’t need to go anywhere else to search for the meanings. Trust me on this; it’s very practical, applied and successful approach.

As far as manga is concerned I have read vast number of them but those with technical specifications are hard to find. They usually focus on general interests of target consumers. After all they have to be commercially viable and those looking for specialization in business studies don’t use manga as their source of information. I don’t mean to be rude; it’s just a thoughtful advice. If you find a manga with your specifications, do tell me. I would read it without complain. :)
