He's the best there is at what he does, but what he does ain't spelling.

I've read the first volume of this series and loved it, but I haven't been able to locate the other two in bookstores. Well, I guess it's time to use the INTERNETS~! I love tousle-haired kids in manga, they're generally so cute!

You do realize that we're all going to go broke buying every volume of every manga you reccomend, right?

Nice Barry essay at Comixology. I used to follow her strip in the Voice too (Lynda Barry, Feiffer, and Ben Katchor's Juius Knipl made for an awesome comics section!) I hope that she gets a million hits + mega book sales with the move to online.

I'd love to see some OMF love for Lupin III ...

Yesss, I love short series.

I know I've read a review of this a long, long time ago, but I couldn't remember what it was called, and could only remember what the cover sort of looked like. At least, I remembered it had cute little girls with big eyes and snow. I thought it was Strawberry Marshmellow for a while, but proved myself wrong when I read that one. ANYWAY, what I'm saying is thank you for reminding me of this manga :D
