Yay for reviews and review researchers!
(Just a thought, should it say "nudity-- 0" if there are two pages with nudity in them in volume 3?)

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. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Thanks for pointing out the nudity. I'd totally forgotten about it. I usually don't mind it unless it's overdone and inappropriate, like it was in this case. Especially since Viz rated it as an "all ages" title!

anywho, i didnt even realize there was a manga for this!
Don't you pay attention to the closing credits? At the end of every episode, you could see "serialized in Kodansha Monthly Magazine Z" (or something like that).

I always sit through all the credits.

Nice review. I loved the anime series of this, the nudity might keep me from getting it though.
