Okay, I know I read this summary somewhere. I
thought it was in an "upcoming release" thing, but I'm not sure. So here's the summary.
It's about this chick who's a bit of a tomboy. Her dad is some important person-- a prime minister or a rich guy by marriage or something-- and so he pays these two(or three) guys to come and train his daughter to be a charming young lady. Maybe the guys he pays to train her owed him for something or were being blackmailed. Maybe. And you know, this is shoujo manga-- just fill in the blanks.
So, does anybody have any idea what I'm talking about?

Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill.
Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence.
