I have the DVD, manga, and am currently reading the novel. Does anyone else? What are your opinions on it?
I thought the movie(which is live-action, BTW) was pretty clean for today's teen flicks. I definately reccomend it to ppl who are interested in learning more about modern Japanese culture, particularly the Lolita and Yanki subcultures.
I liked the art in the manga, and the fact that there's a sequel story in it.
So far, I've been enjoying the novel, but don't like that Ichigo uses the f-word a bit too much.

I'm interested in modern Japanese culture, so maybe I'll look into the movie. I've never heard of it though. What's it about?

It's about two very different teenage girls from the rural Tokyo suburb of Shimostuma who unexpectedly become good friends, Momoko and Ichigo. Momoko is a Lolita-fashion girl and Ichigo is a Yanki biker-gang member. Momoko fantacizes about living in the "Rococo" period of 18th-century France and a loner. How they met and became friends is kind of a long story, though.

Is it too girly for a guy to watch?

Well, it IS a pretty girlie film, but it's also very hip and there's some action in too, with the biker gang and all. It isn't Lizzie McGuire, but it might still be a bit too girlie for you.

I thought the manga was good, but the extra about the pinky ring girl was not so appropriate....

I'd seen the poster at a Japanese bookstore and was interested but haven't seen it. Is it the sort of "Love and Pop" kind of movie about the scandals of modern teens?

No its about a yankee girl (gangster type) and a lolita girl who form a friendship through the yankee wanting an embroidery done on her jacket. Its a good story for sure and definitley enjoyable. Nothing objectionable that I can recall except again, the Pinky Ring Girl extras....
