It's really not just "another fighting manga." I also enjoyed Peach Girl and the spin-off recently introduced in the states "Sae's Story." What can I say? I have conflicting tastes!

I also enjoyed Peach Girl and the spin-off recently introduced in the states “Sae’s Story.”

What can I say? I have conflicting tastes!

I passed it by for years, not really knowing what is was, and then took a chance when I saw the first two books for sale cheap. I absolutely loved it! The characters, humor and stories have all sucked me in! I'm now reading the rest of the series AND getting all of Akino's manga that's available in english!

In the credit where it’s due department, it’s we over at Del Rey Manga that’re publishing Sugar Sugar Rune. Any associated speculation of exotic inhilation should be directed at us and not our colleagues over at ADV. ;-)

But I’m glad you like the series!

Thanks for giving us all a baseline to work with.

This really helps me understand your manga preferences. Mine are fairly similar. I will have to try Sugar Sugar Rune. I was beginning to think I was the only one who read Saikano. It is one of the great overlooked mangas. Rob, thanks for the list. This really helps me understand your manga preferences. Mine are fairly similar. I will have to try Sugar Sugar Rune.
