Reading Alice 19th now. It's by Yuu Watase, who did Zettai Kareshi. She likes fantasy/sci-fi-ish romance, and draws in a style I like.

I finished school around noon, and even Owen hasn't finished yet. Fufufufu. Having Dad at the other comp is restraining me only slightly. Mom got an audio/book course in Japanese from the library, and I'm doing a bit better with it. It's easy, and I'm learning pronunciation while I'm at it. The book also has the hiragana and katakana symbols, which is lovely. I lack the courage for kanji, but maybe I'll be able to read the effects when lazy scanlaters don't translate 'em.
