Hekikai no AiON

Released in English as simply, AiON,
Plot Summary:Tsugawa Tatsuya just lost his parents in an accident... but he's trying not to let that keep him too down as he starts high school. While trying to obey his father's final wish for him to become an upstanding man, he ends up helping a girl who was being bullied. Despite her exceedingly cold nature, he just can't leave her alone... which may not necessarily be to his benefit, as he ends up getting wrapped up in a world where things like parasitic mind-controlling bugs exist...

anybody else read any of this? Lighter fare, but has an interesting twist to it.

Yup, I've been following this series since the first chapter was scanlated.
The first two volumes were released in North America by Tokyo Pop, but they went bankrupt, so it's currently not licensed.

Yeah, the whole Tokyo*pop* thing has been annoying on several series' fronts. Any idea if any scan sites have gotten very far with this one? I had seen one a while back that had it up to some sort of giant-sized mermaid..........

I'd like to see it licensed, of course (so more of my money can go *poof*), but for now......................

Thanks, I'll check it out!

Well, I tried to check it out, but none of the links work for me?

Well, if the East coast is another country.......................

New Link seems to work!

Okay, now that I was able to read all that, I have to ask...............

is it me or did the Karin (Chibi Vampire) crossover not really fit? What was the point?
