Does anyone else here have this manga? I got a copy today, and it looks great so far. A must-read for anyone who likes Mizuki's other work.

Hello Jet,

My LCBS asked me if I wanted one, and on a whim, I said sure. I just started reading it. The art is very cool. The mixture of realistic backgrounds with the cartoony characters is fun so far. Enjoy! maka
