I've been ridiculously excited for this exchange ever since it was announced. I've loved anime since I was a little girl watching Sailor Moon in my pajamas. Once manga finally started hitting US bookstores, I was hooked.

One of my first manga series was Peach Girl. I would wait every month for a new issue to come out, then read it in about half an hour and get excited for next month's volume. Several years later, Peach Girl got an anime adaptation, but I wasn't able to convince our anime group to put it in the rotation, so it went to the wayside.

As it happens, Santa was kind enough to send the SAVE Edition of Peach Girl on DVD. Now I can finally watch it (probably during lunch at work, where most of my girlier series end up). :) He says he doesn't know much about shoujo, but this was a good choice. Thank you, anime gifter !
