Yeah.. It's one of my favourites anime but sadly it's got picked up for noitminA Slot, that's why we got only 11 episodes which ruined many things for such a good anime, I mean it's story is really interesting and when they started airing the anime they have more than enough materials to make it longer, as the manga storyline is important in how each character developed, yet they packed it up in such a way, heck that stuff about the show competition and the Afro thing it didn't even happened, they just made it up as a result it ended up sorta silly. I having more fun reading the manga, Hachimitsu Scans is doing a good job in scanning it.
