No, I just didn't think it was readily available.  I
was limiting myself to SF/fantasy-themed stuff which
I'd seen around.

I have issues with 12 Kingdoms, mainly articulated as
Issues with Youko.  I know it takes time to grow a
backbone, and normally I can forgive a bit of
existential doubt, but the girl is just too passive
for too long for me to like her.  (Forward momentum,
kid!  You can change direction mid-lurch and fix
mistakes you make later, but just sitting there does
no good at all!)  It doesn't help that I identify
DEEPLY with Sugimoto, either.

I didn't know Tsukikage Ran had an English-language
release!  Now I know what I'm shopping for this
weekend....
