[Anime of the Week][Why'd I Bother #3&4] Papa to Kiss in the Dark. Boku no Pico (11/21-27/2010)

First off I don't like yaoi, so one day I decided I'd give a few and I mean FEW series a chance. I watch Papa to Kiss in the Dark, Boku no Pico and a few episodes of Gravitation. My eyes felt rotted after the first two...

[Manga Spotlight][Text ver][4] Kodocha (org Tokyopop release)

Thanks to a local El Paso area shop called Happi Robot, I was able to purchase all 10 volumes of this manga for under $70! Be sure to check out the Robot's FB page and if you live in El Paso visit the shop as well. I'm pretty sure all 10 volumes are original prints, which I prefer my manga to be especially the older ones ^_^ Happi Robot has a ton of older Tokyopop titles that are now out of print and/or hard to get!

Length: 10 vol
Anime: Yes. 102 eps. from 1996-1998
Synopsis:
Sana Kurata has a charmed life. Not only is her mother is a famous, award-winning writer, but she's the star of the hit TV comedy "Child's Toy" while still in the fifth grade. But Sana's biggest concern is Akito Hayama, a pint-sized hellion who's organized the boys in their grade-school class into a mass of unending noise and violence. With the help of Rei, her manager, chauffeur and "pimp," Sana is determined to win back control of the classroom from her new arch-enemy. But as her crusade continues, Sana moves further into Akito's life, and finds that he might not be entirely bad...or entirely safe.
