It's a good issue! biggrin Just got it in the mail.

A blurb about Morning Musume (who I LOVE) AND a small interview with Hangry and Angry?!? (Hangry is Yoshizawa Hitomi, my favorite JPop singer ever). heart

AND I'm in the letters to the editor, which is fun. (I'm the one who wrote in about Hangry and Angry)

Yay! I should get mine sometime this week, and since I'm going home this weekend, I should have it then. : D Glad to hear it's a good one.

You had a letter to the editor in this one??? That's awesome!!! I sent in a letter to the editor a little while back about them licensing Arina Tanemura's Mistress Fortune. :] I got an email back like 2 weeks ago saying something along the lines of "we'll keep that in mind." lol. If it's used when they announce it, I'm going to rofl. xD

It seems like most of the stories are reaching their climax. I thoroughly enjoyed Tail of the Moon Prequel. ^-^

I absolutely enjoyed the Prequel to Tail Of The Moon, as well as the Honey Hunt ( I thought Q-ta tas gonna betray Yura eek )

I can't decide if I want him to or not. I really like Q-ta right now, but I'm afraid he will betray her (just based upon other Aihara works...). At first I didn't like Haruka, but I'm starting to liike him more and more as the story goes on, so I'm completely undecided about who I want Yura to end up with...

On a slightly off-topic note, I finally figured out what's so weird about Miki Aihara's art: her hands. Seriously, I was looking at the Hot Gimmick/Honey Hunt ad in this issue of the mag and was looking at Mizorogi's hand and it was freaking massive!!!!! It was not even natural, even by manga standards. I do like that her art is so clean though...

I'm worried about that too, I like both of them but I noticed Haruka Minamitami Is like one of the characters in the Tokyo Boys and Girls Series.

Is that a good or a bad thing?
