Which issue is that? Anyway, if Pai had it earlier, she should have
used it to travel to Japan. Prob take her shorter than 4 years :-)

There should be lots of those creatures around - they're not unique.
Yakumo has his own Fei-Oh, as well as "Light Fang" (if the Chinese
translation is correct) later on, in addition to the Claw. Since the
original "harpy" is blown up by Kai Yan Wang's wu, I don't think its
still alive. They buried it, after all.

Incidentally, the Chinese translation changed the "Wu" (not in the
drawing - in the text) into some strange character that I don't
recall. Besides, why "Wu" (or nothing, empty, etc)? Why not "Yao"
for demon, spirit, monster, whatever? The two characters in Chinese
is almost identical. I tried some ascii line art, but it looks disgusting
so I'm not putting the letters here.

Are you sure the file is all right? I uploaded 3x3cvr1.jpg to my PC and

Wait a minute: Happy only for Yooda and Ai? Or everybody's happy?
I would be quite unhappy if characters like Moeimi (whom I prefer to Ai) and
Takashi were left in oblivion while the two "main" characters live in happiness.

Well, as I stated before, the mental complex of the author (still can't 
remember his name :p) persists: a triangle formed by a shy boy, his 
dream-love and a girl from another world is resolved by the fall in love
of both girls to the boy and the final decision of the boy to dump the
"earthly" girl and pick the "alien" girl.

Interesting.. for a while I was worrying the popularlity of VG Ai since
it kept appearing near the end of Shonen Jump, which might have indicated 
a drop in popularity. 

Didn't the author say he would strive to do Video Girl beyond Vol.15
(thus making it longer than his previous long series WINGMAN)?

Got it today at the local comix pusher.  It says "Updated Paperback Edition",

     Now, after reading this and other parts of the email, I find
what this person is saying is logical.  However curious we may be, 
the cross posting with r.a.c. may be potentially harmful for the 
creation of any rec.arts... manga groups for months.  If you want
the creation of a TRUE 'manga' newsgroup now instead of months later,
somehow the number of voters against us must also be limited.  If 
they do not care, don't bother them.

     As for the other person who has been posting summaries (?) in
r.a.c., I think that the people reading r.a.c. may already set a
kill file on the topic by now.

I agree that "zombie" is a very bad translation for "Wu".  Doesn't the original

Both are good.  Art in GitS is better, and in my honest opinion the better
of the two, however, I do have a bias for technology. :)  Both are extremely
fun but you'll need to find someone to translate.  An article on GitS will
appear in later issue of Animag.

As far as I know, political humor strips is also popular in Japan,
just like any other countries. Even in "normal" manga, authors love
to make fun of politicians and Japanese government.
