2001 [Metamia] Part Time Pimp Seven (Nov. 12): ^_^ Lots of pretty fanarts to drool over. I also added some scanlations links. 2002 Claudio Alviggi Usenet: it.arti.fumetti.manga (Apr. 16) “Adattamento Love Hina”: Non so se ti riferisci alle stesse scanlation che ho io, ma le mie a tratti presentano una traduzione/adattamento a dir poco…fantasiosi. 2004 Jeff Yang SF Gate (San Francisco, California) (June 14) “Manga Nation”: Would “Fruits Basket”—a quirky romantic comedy about a young girl who becomes the housekeeper for a family whose members are cursed to transform into animals whenever they’re embraced by members of the opposite sex—have been picked up for U.S. release without its overwhelming popularity on scanlation sites? Possibly—but the built-in fan base scanlators provided has helped turn the series into one of TokyoPop’s best-selling titles.
