   Hi Readers and Typers,   
      
   	Finally got my hands on a copy and as I promised   
   Spoor I am writing about it here and in some other places.   
      
        Princess Holy Aura is out of Sailor Moon by Lovecraft   
   and is a ripping good yarn.  If it was a manga even I would   
   read it.  I don't much care for this sort of mahou shojo   
   story.   I watched Sailor Noon all the way through all but   
   the final DVD volumes of the long story so I could say that I   
   had.  After the chibi Moon showed up I got disheartened and   
   left the rest to those with younger imaginations.   
      
   	Spoor has made a marvelous fantasy out of disparate   
   influences.  Some will dismiss as it too influenced by Sailor   
   Moon but the bad guys are out of Lovecraft.  Lemurian wizardry   
   is at the heart of the Apocalypse Maidens of whom the Princess   
   is the leader.   
   	Remember the resets in Sailor Moon. Won't see that   
   here.   
   	It all happens in an American city to American girls   
   of the current generation in a multi-ethnic High School but   
   it starts with a 30 year old Gaming nerd who has been selling   
   bagels but has a heroic heart...   
      
   	I hope someone has bought the movie rights or the   
   American graphic novel rights.  This would made a great   
   TV animation with an animated movie to bring to a climax.   
   In the meantime if you can read English read it and it will   
   definitely be a enjoyable use of time.   
   	Oh and the setup for sequels to the book are part   
   of the climax of this novel.   
      
   	bliss
