Like many, I was a teenager watching anime and trying to access manga during the time period before Barnes & Noble had 5 shelfs dedicated to them. This meant that I mainly watched anime that a friend who was 7 years older had supplied. One of my favorite such animes was Please Save My Earth. I didn't understand it and was completely dissatisfied by the ending, but I loved the story and characters. It has remained one of my favorite animes for some time, though it doesn't go into the same majestic/wondrous category as Studio Ghibli films.
Because the anime only consisted of 6 episodes that I had watched in its entirety many times, I discounted the idea of reading the manga when it appeared at the local chain store.
I just found it online to read. The first book alone is 300 pages long.
I just made my holy crap face, batman.
I now have a new, ill timed because this is grading season, mission. To boldly read the rest of the series that for some reason didn't make it into the anime.
To paraphrase Star Trek XI: I dare all of you to face such a challenge.
And now I disappear into the internet again.
anime,
manga,
please save my earth
