seaghyn16: Having no kanji to go by, at first I assumed the title Torajima was "Tiger Island", then I read your spoiler and realized what it really meant. Thanks for giving me a good laugh with that teaser. XD
Also, Doraneko, if you're still reading this thread after all this time, thanks for the information on Mimizuku to yoru no oh. I had seen these books in several Amazon recommendation lists, and now I understand enough about their signifigance to be persuaded to buy.
I stopped by here while looking for new stuff to order to fill out a bulk purchase (most of my order is finishing out my Kino no tabi collection, including the newest volume), and it looks like I managed to work out in an hour what was taking me evenings of reading various reviews and fansites of Japanese fans on a lot of titles to sort out the gold from the dross. Thanks to you all.
I only wish the first two volumes of Bungaku Shoujo weren't out of stock.
