Minna-san, konnichiwa!

Well, the update for the feature article is done. For my first FOCUS, it's Yazawa Ai's latest manga series Nana. I hope you enjoy reading it and so much so that you go running out to get the manga from Asahiya or some other place! It really is that good. There'll be other articles coming along too but I can't say for sure when - maybe every fortnightly, depends. But I'll keep you posted on anything.

Now if you could excuse me, it's time for me to go to bed.

Bye bye!

OK, distribution is officially closed. No more orders will be taken for the time being. I don't know when the next distro session will be yet (hey - what else is new here) but there will be another website update tomorrow. I couldn't get it done by today so it will be pushed to tomorrow instead.

It will be something that I wanted to implement in the website for a very long time - articles and things like that about the stuff that I've encountered, liked and want to share with minna. Initially, I wanted to get all my articles together and put it all up at once but due to work commitments (programmers have no life), obviously, no time for that. So now I've devised another way in which I will aim to write at least 2 articles every month and hopefully have a nice collection of articles for minna to look at (I just hope you don't spit at it though *sweatdrop*). Of course the focus will mainly be on anime, manga and Japan in particular but don't be surprised if you see an occassional article about a Chinese drama serial or movie. Well, the first feature article will be up tomorrow and I hope that you will enjoy it.

Right, mate ne!

Well, the website is taking shape. A revised synopsis page is now up. OK, so the list is a hell lot shorter than before but hopefully I'll be able to expand it in time. I hope you find this format of the synopsis page a bit better - at least it sorts of load faster than before now. I have tested the website out with Netscape 4.7, Netscape 6.2, Internet Explorer 5.0 and Opera 6.0. So far it's working fine but if you find that something does not work like it's supposed to, do let us know but if you could, do double check on it and see. I hope that the synopsis page comes in handy.

Ok then, ja ne!

Right, Jimaku is now officially re-opened for distribution. So you can start sending whatever orders you want in. Do look up the distribution rules and tape list before you do just that though. It really does help. Hopefully next update will feature the synopsis page being up again.

Well, that's it for now. Bye bye!
