   	Well I think I know what you mean about crowded with tourists   
   but also on weekends with local kids and some adults.  You haven't been   
   checking the prices lately as the lowest prices on the translated   
   manga are running $12.99 before tax.  I used to go by the WA branch   
   Library all the time but since my left knee started hurting in 2015   
   I have not been getting around as well.  I borrowed most of the   
   Japanese live action films that I could find from there.

   	The editing for the US market is annoying.

   	Do I need to say that the opportunity to exchange a few words   
   with you has been one of the highlights of my last month, Kenneth.   
   I spent the last full week of February and the first week of March   
   resting mostly with a very bad cold.  Too tired to find interesting   
   new manga online.
