Brilliant?! Dude, I picked up the first volume of Cowboy Bebop and it was all about some drag queen named "Marilyn." I hated it. Biggest piece of crap I've ever read, and the artwork was ugly as sin.

Fruit's Basket is good though. It never fails to put me in a good mood. Anytime I feel down, I just reach for a volume of Fruit's Basket (or Aria/Aqua, another shojo series) and I'm smiling in seconds

I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love,
For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith
But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.
- T.S. Eliot, Burnt Norton
