@Salimbol: Probably, everything of hers will eventually get licensed here, so don’t beat yourself up.

@Isaac: I hear you! I think the UPS guys must be boggling at how often they have to come drop off Amazon packages at my house.

I’m so excited for this volume! Sadly, my local comic stores don’t have it. Time to succumb to my evil Amazon.com overlords.

Thanks . And ooh, that’s another one I haven’t heard of! I did see a new series of hers when I was in Japan, but I couldn’t read the kanji in the title so it probably wasn’t Kinou Nani Tabeta (’cause I can read those characters). Now, of course, I’m cursing myself for not buying it! But I had such limited room in my suitcase…

Good to see you back and commenting! I’m glad I convinced you to check this one out.

Now if only someone would license Kinou Nani Tabeta! I’d be so happy.

Hey there; it’s been a while! I hadn’t heard of this Fumi Yoshinaga book before, and you’ve made it sound great (well, I expect that with a FY book, of course). It’s definitely going on the to-get list, along with all her other stuff that I haven’t yet managed to lay hands on!

Yeah, I don’t think my mom’s going to be reading manga any time soon!

I tried to get a coworker (a mom herself) to read it, but she wasn’t particularly enthused.

I really enjoyed this collection as well. I was a little lost with how they connected at first and that not all stories dealt with mothers and daughters. But all the stories were really interesting. I wish I could get my mom to read it, but I think the manga format confuses her.
