- Cross-promoted with the highly successful anime from Bandai, which has more than 50,000 fan web sites - Online grassroots marketing efforts led by the founder of Teenreads.com, a leading resource for YA booksellers and librarians - Cross-promoted with the popular Tokyopop manga series
Fun, decent, quick, undemanding and yet satisfying. I believe it follows the events of the anime (or rather, the anime follows the events of the novel), but I felt that an extra dimension was added to all the characters that may not have made it into the show. It's a shame Tokyopop decided not to publish any further.
I have watched the anime and read the manga. This book follows the 9th and 10th episode from the anime series. I liked how it is not always told by Pacific's point of view.
