>Is Aqua supposed to be in this weird sort of order? After the cover, I get chapter 1 upside down. Then the Table of Contents. Then the rest of the book the right side up again. Is this how the book is supposed to be? Or a printing error? Yeah. The same problem here. That's definitely NOT the way Japanese read it. Printing error?

I want to explain why Aria the continue of Aqua is: Aqua was released by the publisher Stencil first. But Kozue Amano, the Mangaka of it, wanted to change to the publisher Comic Blade and then the name changed from Aqua to Aria.

This series is absolutely golden and can do no wrong. Gentle, lyrical and beautiful! I wish TOKYOPOP would finish Aria as well since ADV tanked.

That peaceful, serene experience is something that sets Aqua and Aria apart from most other series. It's a terrific way to forget the stress of the workday. Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou is another series that has a pleasant atmosphere with fun stories. Maybe Tokyopop will pick that one up too. I'll definitly buy it if they do.

this book gives a lot of good backround which you don't see in many manga's I was suprised.

Aqua 1 is great! Gives a lot of background that you don't get in the anime (which covers Aqua 1 here and there with slightly different versions of the mini-stories). For Chibiman: The Aria Manga (according to Wikipedia) was acquired by ADV Mange in 2003 and released only 3 volumes late that year and in early 2004. It's still in hiatus. Tokyopop obviously has the prequel Aqua

What was the old title? Everyone seems to like it so I might as well check out what all the series is about...It [the manga] caught my eye as well! ^U^.

I personally haven't heard of the sequel to this or this title. It looks good though. Do you think they still sell the sequel to this manga? Or is it that old?
