Is W.I.T.C.H. really any good? I've yet to see a non-Japanese "manga" imitation of much quality, as they seem to try to follow manga-based cliches at the expense of a good story. (This sometimes applies to the art; the artists should just *be themselves.*)<BR>

I think W.I.T.C.H. would sell really well in the US, especially stocked with "real" manga in mainstream book stores. <BR>
