O TYM ODCINKU
J.D. is back from Japan, and we are (hopefully) back to our normally scheduled episodes! This month's choice was made by Manuel, and it's something of a nostalgic one. Princess Ai is arguably one of the first attempts to produce an original collaborative manga for both the US and Japanese market. Written by Misaho Kujiradou (who also did the art) and DJ Milky (AKA TOKYOPOP's Stuart Levy), and featuring input from alternative rock star Courtney Love and manga artist Ai Yazawa, it was originally released from 2004 to 2006. It turned out to be a very odd series, whose legacy has been mostly forgotten. The nostalgia itch was scratched though, and we had a lot to say about this one. Seeing as all the hosts missed this one during its original release, we'd love to hear from anyone who has fond memories of it. Let us know your thoughts, and keep reading the wrong way!
