I just received both packages containing my exchange gifts, and I am quite blown away.

Despite my love for the Akira anime, I have never actually read the manga, and now after receiving the first two volumes I have the chance to do so. Excited to dive in and finally be able to say, "The manga was better".

The person matched to me also did some investigating and found out that I really enjoyed 7 Billion Needles, so they bought me the Sci-fi novel the manga was based on, Needle by Hal Clement. I love the jacket design for the book.

Thank you for the great gifts and effort you put, person-whose-name-must-not-be-revealed!

I hope everyone else's gifts are as well thought out as mine.
