Hehe, last Thursday (17th) Canada's national 
newspaper, The Globe and Mail, ran an article 
about manga - ab
out how it was girls (not boys) fueling the 
market.  It proceeded to be nothing but 
complementary about how manga was the only type 
of graphic novel making any progress/sales/profit 
in the market (out shining the Hulk! *le gasp!*) 
and how manga plot lines are like actual stories -
 with a beginning, middle and definite end.  It 
had a great big picture of Chii from Chobits Vol 
7 on it and took up almost the entire page!  It 
was an awesome article in the NATIONAL paper of 
all places ^________^ - so hooray for the womens!

And here's Forte - who takes no crap from anyone!
