Oh, it's not that I think it's EVIL to remove the shrinkwrap--it's not that expensive for the bookstore to rewrap it, and people have a right to know what they're buying--it's just sort of a curb-high barrier. Given a choice between spending ten bucks on something I know I want versus making even a small effort to find out if I want something new, I do tend towards the known. A typical consumer is me.
Oh hey, has Luv Luv published anything that doesn't suck? I bought one of their porny books--Love for Dessert, I think?--and it was just such a fuckin' waste of time, in like every sense. I was bitter. I expect better things from my erotica.
Oh Walkin' Butterfly, I miss you so. Paradise Kiss made me love the fashion manga and then you were there! And then you weren't. ;_;
