SB you are the best. I sometimes forget the magazine is not in print and still expect to get it in the mail. Haha I must really be in denial. I am so very very happy I can still purchase manga from you guys. I know this may sound dorky but you really have changed my life! Got me through some stressfull times in art school. Thanks again! :3
