Okay, so I've already started to get behind and I've barely even started my project. *sighs* My deepest apologies - I got sidetracked with the flu and have spent that past couple of weeks trying to catch up with myself. Anyway, I'm hoping to get back on track very, very soon. I'll probably post the last volume of + Anima tonight; after that I haven't decided what to do next...but it will probably be one of the following: Ghost Hunt, Beck, Cirque du Freak, or X-men Misfits. As always, if you've got a series you're interested in knowing more about as far as content (or anything else), please let me know and I'll do my best to get some info posted for you ASAP. :)

Elementary - Although nudity exists; it's done in such a non-sexual way that I personally would be comfortable putting this in an elementary library. However, I advise you to use your best judgment based on your knowledge of your school and your situation.
