As seen in Time magazine, 2/16/2004:

(EDIT: Okay, 'splain me something, Straylight. Why isn't the IMG tag working? I just get a link, not an image. *sigh* Use the thumbnail below ...)

The full article (which is a relatively bland article on shoojo manga, but still nice to see some mainstream press on the subject) is in the thumbnails.

That's hilarious. And Kyo told her she was terrible at punching. <.< >.> Maybe there's something he doesn't know... ^__^

Okay, when describing manga, the article says something about them being cheap installments. . . um, since when?! I'm scrapping my pennies together to buy all my manga. I've spent like 400 dollars on three series. Did they not notice the target audience? We're poor!!!!! That one sentence blurb in the article about Fruit Basket makes me want to go out and read it. A boy reacting in odd ways to contact with girls is a major selling point for me. That's the main reason I bought Zodiac P.I. It was just too funny that the main character is allergic to girls!!!!

@_@ You make us girls sound confusing.

Tooru does have a knack for getting mixed up with really weird people. Maybe there's something behind that...

*takes more notes* Girls murder guys who discover that girls like guys who don't like girls. (I wonder how much trouble I'm in now ... ;) )

Yea, Fruits Basket is really cool though how she meets so many different people.

[color=RoyalBlue]Thats what the rat does when the cat is stalking, and needless to say we don't have many rats around here. Though I do hate to use the whole cat and rat thing ^^]
