    And aside from the regular posters who do seem   
   to have drifted away for a while, we have to keep the lurkers in   
   mind.   
      
    By the way I just read volume one of the English translation   
   of the Yagyu Ninja Scrolls - Revenge of the Hori Clan. This is   
   by Futaro Yamada and the manga is by Masaki Segawa. Slightly over-sized   
   and pages fell from the last chapter of this volume. Published by   
   DelRey Kodansha at US $13.95.   
    The males of the Hori clan are wiped out after a failed attempt to   
   remove an evil daimyo. The retainers of the Evil Daimyo, the Aizu Seven   
   Spears violate the Togukawa law against men entering the Divorce   
   Temple to murder all but 7 of the Hori women. The seven Hori remaining   
   swear vengence and that is the basis of this story. I really like the   
   first volume.   
      
    Meantime I am watching rental anime of Sailor Moon R, up to the   
   14th volume of the whole saga. Incredible stuff and it needs to be back   
   on TV somehow.
