...and all in two volumes? Wow.

I may have to get this; it looks really sweet and fun.

That'll teach me to believe the listing at AnimeOnDVD.com! *sigh* Good to know there's more...

Oh and also -- there is at least one property -- httpwww. Redfin. Com/WA/SeattleS. . . Ome -- that shows up on my Favorites list as Off Market, but when I searched on the address to see whether it had been sold or pulled, the same old Active listing came up.

That's right! I didn't even get around to mentioning that this may well be the only manga featuring PROFESSIONAL CHICKEN SEXERS!

I didn't want to say it - cause you know, spoiler!

But I went around for weeks saying "I'm not the chicken sexer I'm the chicken sexer's son, I'm only sexing chickens till the chicken sexer comes. " (From the children's rhyme about plucking figs. )

You know, chicken sexers are actually very much in demand. It's a dying art.

Picked up Good as Lily yesterday and finished quick reading it last night. I'll probably do a review after I do a second more detailed reading. But right now its tied with Plain Janes as the 2nd best of the line so far. A definite step up from the dissapointing Clubbing. And the next two in the line look pretty good as well. Still would like to see more female writers/artists involved in their "girls" line. You or Carla Speed McNeil or Linda Medley or...well its a big list that I wish DC would do more to tap...

I always get a kick out of reading these "Overlooked Manga" posts. I don't read it myself, but its nice having someone give me the Nickel tour of them :)

I'm not sure what it is, but most of them just don't do anything for me, I have a hard time getting past the reading from right to left and I get the dialouge jumpbled up.
