Disclaimer- What can I really disclaim? I don't own the information and I found the pictures. I don't own Takeuchi-sensei, and I don't own any of her manga or wish to infringe upon her rights. I'm merely a fan, what more do you want from me? Oh! right! She's one of the most talented mangaka out there with such a range of technique and gernre and a flexible drawing style that I can't but help admire her! ^_^ ^.~
