Side notes: This is a great manga with a good plot and art. I's really wondering why it doesn't have it's own wikipage already nor much more information given. I found only a Japanese wikipedia page with information about the manga and it's characters. And I wouldn't be surprised if there would be an Anime adaptation of this manga coming soon in film or as a TV animation.^-^b It's truly is a great find and I knoow it's not a new publication or anything like that but it's still good.XDDD
