Robin, btw, rocks as much as i knew<br \/>\nit would. Haibane Renmai is Beautiful &#8211; i must have more. Reki is my fav ^^<br \/>\nSpiral is a fun treat, especially since mitsuishi-san is in it, and gotta have<br \/>\nmore. AzuDaioh is ROTFLMAO!!!! crack &#8211; love it XD Sakaki-chan is all about<br \/>\ncute. she rocks :3<\/p>\n<p>anime : drugs would be cheaper.<br \/>\nn33d m0r3!
