This is the vol.3 of sensei's manga about vampires (!) and roses (!) - very pretty. And as we all know it, vampires is the new!hot!thing. Kuro Bara Alice (Black Rose Alice) - there is Alice somewhere, but the vol.3 cover rendered me speechless:
Vampires are just so in! )))))

I mean, I'm a rabbid Habsburg's fangirl (Spanish and Austrian ... Sisi and Margaret Theresa...), so this Habsburg's unapologetic fangirling is something I definitely would love to see... A girl can dream, right?

季節 【きせつ】 (n,adj-no) season
ちくちく (n,vs) (on-mim) type of prickling pain; prick; prickle
裁縫 --さいほう-- (n,vs) sewing;

I thought it was a very funny movie. (2001). There is also a sequel which I had not seen so far - (2005) that supposedly takes place 3 years later. Should find it.
On the poster I could not help myself to squee over 男のシンクロ!? - Boy's synchronized swimming !?
OMG, it sounds so scandalized!! ))))
The manga which keeps going and going and I still enjoy it - From Eroica with love. It's a sheer awesomeness. And now we have - エロイカより愛をこめて vol. 35 by 青池保子 ( Aoike Yasuko). But what I found totally amusing is this article from German military magazine -. In the issue March 2003 they had an article dedicated to Major Eberbach, deutscher Offizier und Gentleman ^__^
Particularly cute was the give-away of 5 Japanese mangas + Japanese-German dictionaries. Just too cute for the words! )))
