Oniisama E...
Episode 02: The Glass Slippers 

Nanako writes her first letter to her "big brother." She is excited and happy. We also learn a little more about Nanako's uncharacteristic attraction towards him. Nanako is starting her second day of HS, and is looking forward to joining the cooking club with her best friend Tomoko. Everyone else is anxiously waiting for The Sorority's announcement of the freshmen who will be considered for Sorority membership. Nanako's new classmate/friend Mariko is one of the few girls expected to receive an invitation as is fellow classmate Misaki Aya.

Yea! I just pre-ordered my copy of the next Twelve Kingdoms novels.  I'm so happy a new one is coming out!! Its been forever since the last one and you start to feel anxious that they will discontinue the series (like so many other of my favorite series :) Novelizations probably aren't as popular as tradition manga and much harder (ie more expensive) to translate, so it is so wonderful that TokyoPop has taken on this title!!

I loved the anime series, but was disappointed like many others when they cut it off early and never completed it the way it should have been. So these novels are the next best thing!

If you haven't watch the anime - I highly recommend the series. it is available commercially in the US, so i'm sure netflix or blockbuster have them for rentals. I bought my DVD box sets - so worth it! If you like the anime series you will want to read the novels too. the anime actually changed quite a bit, and added new characters - not is  a bad way, but made it more commercial. Originals are usually always better.

Shopping in Tokyo

Just left Tokyo today and thought I would write up about my anime shopping excursions a little. I'm not a very typical buyer - I don't see the need for toys or figures - I like useful things like cups and bags, or pretty trinkets like stationary, stamps (ink kind) and stickers.

I visited all the main anime/manga sites I could find out about, wish I knew a local person who could show me all the really great off the beaten path type of places, but you take what you can and run with it. Oh, and I also wanted to see all the city main attractions so my time was really tight during my 5 days there.
