   	I hope there ae more than the first 3 volumes that I see on the   
   shelf at the manga shop at Webster and Geary in San Francisco.   
   	   
   	I find this High School, comedy-romance very entertaining and   
   amusing.   
   	We have bishonen boys, a fujoshi named Rumi, a second fujoshi   
   and a senior fujoshi a doujin artist, the elder sister of one of the pretty   
   boys.  We have doujinshi, and plenty of doujin with a comic book   
   conventions and boys and girls working in costume.  Tsundere more   
     broadly drawn than Kusakabe in Genshiken.   
      
   	The art I find more acceptable than the moe blobs seen   
   in other popular books.  More individuality of the characters   
   and more clearly declinated features though the bishonen   
   seem to depend more on differentiated by complexion and   
     hair color.   
      
   	The author fills the pages with references to older anime   
   and manga, with 4 or 5 pages of footnotes to these at the end   
   of volume 2, and 6 pages in volume 1.  This is an education in   
   itself in Modern Visual Culture, fujoshi culture that is,   
      
   	I think it is a total gas.  Volume 3 will be in my hands   
   on Wednesday.
