I finally got Kozue Amano's AQUA, the prequel to Aria, from Sasuga Books. and was delighted to see that Hime-shachou is based on a real cat. shoooo cute.:luv:

Now to try to translate it. :sweat:

It's rare that a manga can fill me with such pure delight as ARIA and, I can already see, AQUA. A steady diet of such would probably drive me nuts, but it's my little bubbly spring of solace in a conflict-driven manga world. (especially when Bleach goes overboard with the fighting. :sweat: )
