Even the Showa History of Japan seems       eminently more re-readable. So is the Wandering Son (Hourou Musuko)       series.        I regret to a degree spending the approximately $30.00       on this story in a way that I do not regret buying some other       series at higher prices.                      >       >     I got the first volume of the story at the Kinokuniya       > manga shop at Webster and Geary just over the hill in Nihon Machi       > from the downtown area.
