   	Which is exactly my point.   
   	If they had promoted it to the proper markets   
   it should have sold better.  I think reading it and   
   seeing that it is possible to be different without   
   being crazy.   
   	And yes I did read all the story online. So   
   after this I advised the TG friend to read it on her   
   smart-phone.   
   	Personally I did not care for the hard cover   
   format A smaller paperback with maybe 5 volumes like   
   Shigero Mizuki's "Showa;A History of Japan" might be   
   good if interest can be developed.  These are the   
   same folks who did not print the final volumes of   
   the "Yagyu Ninja Scrolls:Revenge of the Hori Women"!   
   Dark Horse pulled a similar stunt with "Satsuma   
   Gishiden" which is a tale of how viciously the   
   shogunate used the Satsuma samurai and how terrible   
   life was in those times.
