   	All four volumes of this are fine reading.   
   Buy it if you can find room for the volumes. Not   
   as wildly shipping as  "Fujoshi Rumi" in which the   
   fujoshi can only thing of desirable young men as   
   subjects of their yaoi fantasies. a while back,   
   02/02/2010 09:16 AM.  Fujoshi Rumi aka Japanese   
   title is "Mousou Shojo Otaku Kei". Was projected   
   tp be 4 volumes in English but he 4th volume   
   was never published in the USA and I was so   
   happy to find that it had been put up online.   
   Anyway if you don't have the money use a good   
   search engine like DuckDuckGo.
