hey, my name is Beth. I made this account in 2003, but I'm not on Gaia that much. I've been on a lot recently though because my RL friend Seth (who has a Gaia account) was on it at work (camp), so I decided to go on it there, and then I joined guilds and stuff. yay.
I'm 19, and I'm going to be a sophomore at Gettysburg College.
I love Yazawa Ai's manga (well, the ones that are out so far in English, Paradise Kiss and NANA) because her plotlines and characters are complex and original, and her artwork is so cool and original, too. my favorite is NANA, though - I love both the NANA manga and the NANA anime.
I cosplayed as Ousaki Nana (from NANA) for Otakon 2007!!
biggrin I have yet to see any of the ParaKiss anime, but I own all the manga (sort of a bittersweet ending, though
sad ). (I found out about ParaKiss a few years ago, sometime back in high school.)
I just bought all the NANA manga that are out in English so far at Otakon (I had read some of the manga in Shoujo Beat - SB introduced me to NANA - but I didn't own any until then).
I've seen up to episode 40 of the NANA anime fansubbed on
http://tv-links.co.uk (and I can't wait to see the rest)!!
Ai Yazawa is awesome!! I hope more NANA and more of her works are translated into English soon.
