   Inu-Yasha to All   
   Manga popular in US (Florida Today)

   Brevard county in Florida, article in local newspaper re:  American Teenage   
   girls eat up Japanese manga.   
      
   http://www.floridatoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051227/   
   IFE/512270332/1005   
      
   note that although there are categories of manga [per Florida Today anyway]   
   for Women, teenagers, pre and teen girls, and pre and teen boys, apparently   
   men in Japan don't read manga, so men in America are not expected to read   
   manga (I guess).  The article in the paper started off as a front page of   
   Life section three quarter page article illustrated with the Sailor girls   
   Moon, Mars, Mercury, and Venus.  Not too bad for an area with about 200,000   
   people in the county.

           Feh!!
