If you live in the Austin, TX, area, and would like to buy something from
Nikaku Animart, let me know.  Be warned, they have escalated their prices
on most of their stuff.  The CDs are now into the $40 range, pushing the
limits on "ridiculous".  What gets me upset is that they raised the price
on ALL of their stock, including CDs they had for years, before the
dollar-yen rate bombed. 

Anyway, I am going to order the stupid Ranma OVA/Movie 3 "color manga",
but I didn't know if there was anything else that was worth it.  I'm
trying to break at least $50 for an order, and I didn't know what else was
worth it. 

Basically, I'll buy just about anything, other than really pathetic items
like Sailor Moon blow-up dolls (^_-).  I mean, if the Tenchi CD Box Set is
worth $135, I'll probably fork it out, like a total idiot.  Don't suggest
real heavy Japanese-language oriented stuff like "Ah! My Goddess" manga,
because my translation skills rank near an Exceptionally Retarded
Preschooler. 

You can e-mail me with your ideas, if you don't want to spam like I did. 
You can post, too, I read this stuff often.

--How's the Tenchi manga?  Does it follow the OVA or TV storyline, or 
none of the above?  Is the artwork any good?
--How hard is it to understand the Mermaid's Forest/Scar manga?

P.S.  I read _Like Water for Chocolate_ yesterday, and that was real 
depressing.
