That would be CORRECT!!
May all manga publishers learn from shining 8.99 examples of a certain exemplary publisher. *Nod nod*
Sadly, even if this were 9.00 I would still be disappoined with it if it's like other CMX publications. My copy of Land of the Blindfolded was so stiff spined that you practically had to saw it open. Plus, I know this isn't a big deal, but it irks me when
bold print is over used. I mean you don't have to say: "Oh, Shinja-kun is
SO SUPER HOT" and bold print it before I'll understand. Just say it. Normally. I'll take your word for it, I promise.
(Viz does this too actually. *shakes head*)
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.
