Hit&Run Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I remember before Xmas there was talk of getting a big-ish order together of sweet merchandise from ishibashi. Is the idea on the back-burner, or round the U-bend completely? Bo! Quote

Happy Jack Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Ye Gods & Little Fishes - that's a hard web-site to get around (unless you speak Manga, that is). Is there an English-version, user-friendly one I can get to instead? Quote
