   Hmmm...

   Kashimashi: 5" W x 7 1/8" H   
      
   AOI House is slightly larger: 5 1/16" W x 7 1/2" H   
      
   Both are about the same size as most of the other non-large format manga I   
   have, which is slightly larger than most of the standard paperbacks I have.   
      
   Personally, I prefer the larger format for manga: art work looks better,   
   details are clearer, and I don't go nuts trying to read microscopic text in   
   the dialogue balloons.  :)
