Ah,'Omukae desu'; I remember that being pretty funny. The premise alone is enough to make it worth checking out, of course. I liked their various shinigami theme days! The story never really went anywhere in the three volumes that I read, but it was fun reading them anyway. And I think you're right, anime_heart; I'm sure Meca Tanaka mentioned that he was a guy somewhere in that series.
I now must add Pearl Pink to the ever-growing to-read list (honestly, I think I'm slowly but surely whittling it down, and then people go and talk about other cool books and it's a lost cause...)
Megan, are the pole things you're talking about naginatas?
