I read a review and-- eh, I can't tell you for sure, but the set up sorta weirded me out. From what I understand, it's about this girl who falls for her professor. Now, this wouldn't be much of a problem if it was kept at that. The problem is that the teacher likes her back and I think the manga is about their relationship. There are so many better titles that this. I'd steer away from it. There, that's my two cents. Take it, leave it, or put it in that little cup by the cash register for the next person to take.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill.
Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence.
