I agree with jamin... although I would venture a guess that it's some sort of anime\mange publication?

Brilliant deduction, Watson ;)

Of course, I do not share Dom's aversion to anime and am genuinely interested in hearing what this is...

Except for what it is the Nr.1 question is where to get it. Should I buy it or must I download it? Where?

"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.

I bought the 1st issue of the mag @ rAge & personally I think it's brilliant.
I think I'm going to be an anime freak.

I'm waiting for my first issue :)
The rAge issue was pretty good, you could see the Jap chikas selling it wasn't from arround here, when you would pay with a R100 or R200 note they rip out a wad of cash that they carried around with them, crouched down and started getting you you're change ;)

I thought the Jap chicks were cute. I was hoping to attend the 'By The Fans' thing they're having - LAN & anime sreenings.

I do wish CNA would stock the magazine. I don't want to travel to Cresta just to spend R20 when I can simply walk to CNA. :(
