Fruit Basket manga licensed!!

"Once, when I was younger, the kids in my class played a game where they went around assigning everyone the name of a fruit. I asked them 'what should I be?' They laughed and told me 'You can be the rice ball'. Then they started running around chasing each other, playing... Every so often, they'd call out the name of another fruit, and that child would get to join in. But they never called me. I was too dumb to realize...there's no rice ball in a fruits basket."

Yeah. TokyoPop had licensed so many good mangas that I want to hug them. I can't wait for the first FB to be out! And MARS will end soon by the end of the year, so now I can look forward to start a new series.

I picked up the first Chobits book today. After reading Wish and enjoying it I decided to try some more CLAMP. I've got the whole Wish set, most of Mars, the first three Love Hina, and most of the GW stuff. I plan to finnish Mars. Then Finnish Love Hina, then work on Chobits. :bounce: I can't wait for the next Mars book! :D

Yes, Love Hina was very good. I've only read the first three but I really enjoyed it! But since I started Mars first I wish to finnish it first. Btu I can't wait for the 13th Love Hina book. The cover has a pic of a wedding. :D

My bro is collecting the manga series. In fact, both of us agreed that the manga's ending is better than the anime. I know since he found a site that had the 14th manga scanlated and saved it in a disk.
