I first read between the sheets, because it was recommended to me by another website. I now have 5 that were released in America, and read a scan-lation of Love Vibes. As an aspiring comic artist, I'm constantly inspired by her pacing, her dialogue, and her characters. The books will make you cry, no doubt about it. They aren't happy stories, but they aren't really tragic either. I have all but Nothing But Loving You, and I have to say that Erica Sakurazawa is probably the best manga-ka I’ve ever found.

I think I’ve read around 3 of the Sakurazawa volumes, I wish some of the manga companies would translate some similar works, because there’s not a whole lot of manga out there aimed at a 20something audience.

It looks like Tokyopop gave up on this idea in favor of Disney Cinemanga. I enjoyed the Sakurzawa books, but was hoping they would continue the line with more authors. Ponent Mon had a couple of books that would have fit well in this series. Tokyopop never really promoted is series very well. I would have like to see them get behind this concept and this author and give both the time and attention they deserve. What every happened to the “Manga After Dark” line?

Sakurzawa's art is a fresh breath as well, pulled from her fashion illustration background, it provides a nice alternative to the more wild, stylized shojo stuff out there. The other books were OK, but I say "Between The Sheets" is definitely worth a look. Kind of a "Optic Nerve" meets shojo thing!
