Anyone here like Kodocha?
Yeah, yeah I know it's made more for the female gender, but you have just GOT to LOVE Sana's charecter! She's so perky and cute! An Akido is hilarous with how he's serious so much. Sort of like combining Duo and Heero from GW. I would HIGHLY recomend this manga for BOTH genders, because even though it's a romance novel, there's plenty of comedy and other goodies to go around. Not to mention that the male main charecter gets a total reform from the leader of a band of punk kids, to being a mostly good student, albeit mischevious. PLEASE, PLEASE check this manga out, you won't regret it!

Waldens Bookstore sells it, and probably amazon.com, e-bay maybeh. Just do a search for it. It's fairly popular.

Kodacha's great! You can find it at Waldenbooks, Borders, Suncoast or an anime or comic book store. Also, Waldenbooks will order them for you for no extra charge.
[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE
You see into the deepest part of me ---
beyond the fog I hide behind.
You cast your light upon the shadows
that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.
You ease the pain when I am hurting,
and morbid visions from my past
pierce into the realm of Reason
as though I danced on blades of glass.
You grant me strength when I have fallen
and, once again, I've lost my way.
You take my hand in Yours and lead me
into the promise of a brand new day.
You bring order to all my chaos,
yet set my well-laid plans awry.
You place me on a firm foundation ---
then give me wings so I can fly.
You sand away my roughened edges
and polish all the dullest parts
until I stand before Your presence...
a newly-sculpted work of art.
You see into the heart within me,
right through my motives and selfish will.
And yet, in spite of all You see
You say You love me even still.

waldenbooks, suncoast, hastings, barnes and nobles, comic book stores (a comic book store without a Tokyopop display is nary worth being called a comic book store at all!) half.com, ebay, and of course directly from tokyopop... from hastings, though, it's a dollar cheaper and no shipping...

"Kodocha" is like "pokemon" it's the official shortening of "Kodomo no Omocha" and in the US we just stuck with the abbreviation... Sana's stage? I have no idea why they have that as the subtitle... It might be to have some other refference to go by when buying it ("Oh, sana! Yeah, I know that name from my fansubs. Kodocha must be short for Kodomo no Omocha!")
I only wish Tokyopop had explained some of the cultural stuff like the anime fansubs did... (Oyakodon Baka? What's that supposed to mean?)

Yes, Kodocha is the manga which is the story about a girl, Sana, who stars in a TV show called, "Kodomo no Omocha." The anime in Japan and the manga are called, Kodomo no Omocha, I'm pretty sure. I know for a fact the anime is.
Sana is one of the best anime/manga characters around. Kodocha is sweet and funny and has a great story. The characters just get better and better. My daughter has up to Vol. 9 of the manga released by Tokyopop. Volume 2 is titled Sana's Stage, which is probably the volume you found at the store, Jojo.
It is shojo, but I think anyone would like it. I highly recommend this for anyone who loves a good manga to read. It's up there with some of the best.

I LOVE Kodocha! Aww man so very good.
Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away.

Since this seems to have disappeared, I figure I should revive it... It's really a great story.
Ya'll (y'all) should check it out, y'know?
By the way, "Babbito" isn't in the manga... Also, the Brittish guy (who is the teacher in the TV show in Kodocha) plays a much smaller part. At least, I think... I've only read the first couple (it was still coming out when I had access to it.)

It's really only a matter of time before Cap'n pops in here. . .
On topic, I read the first volume of Kodoncha, and I was frightened by the freaky (a.k.a. UBER mean) boys at her school. But since everyone else likes it-- I might just have to give it another try.

Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

You bet your sweet monkeys it's only a matter of time before I pop in here! I was first exposed to Kodocha in the year 1999 and it's still my all time favorite. It's also a big reason why I'm so into anime now. I liked anime before but Kodocha showed me the true range and power of the medium and got me hooked.
The anime has this way of being deathly serious and riotously funny at the same time, all without coming off as insensitive. It's something I hope to duplicate in my own work some day.
I really like the manga, too, but I'm not sure if I would have enjoyed it as much had I not seen the show first. It's just not possible to cram that level of energy into a stationary page. But, the author notes are all worth it. Miho Obana leads a full and interesting life and from this life she crafts full and interesting stories. Just about every character has some basis in someone she has known or been, giving the story an emotional veracity that is very difficult to match.
And, before I die, I must bet her at pool...

I have a special place in my heart for Kodocha 
This was the first manga I got into, but instead of reading the actual scanlations of it I just read the translations of it (this was a few summers back before it was licensed). I have never actually read the manga of it, but since I read all of the translations of it I feel like I don't need to so much. The website that had the translations of it is not up anymore however. I would recommend this to most everyone; the only thing that disappointed me was some of her actions at the end, but I still love it.
