Summary
Full Moon wo Sagashite (Searching for a Full Moon, or "Full Moon" for short) is about a 12-year-old girl named Kouyama Mitsuki. She wants to fulfill a promise she made with her love, Sakurai Eichi, that the next time they meet, they will be closer to their dreams (Mitsuki a singer and Eichi an astronomer) because Eichi left for America. However, this is a bit difficult for her, as she has a tumor in her throat and she refuses operation (the operation will make her lose her voice.) One day, she's visited by two Shinigami (death gods) and they accidentally tell her she only has one year left to live. Mitsuki, being too young to audition, transforms into a 16-year-old with the help of Takuto (one of the shinigami) and wins the audition. She now has to achieve her dreams with the time she has left.

Somehow, she can see Shinigamis, even though her time is not up yet.

^.~ Saw this earlier on your manga thread thought I'd tell you my experience with it. In everyday conversation the particle wo is pronounced as 'o'. Sometimes you'll hear it as wo in music, but not in conversation. In fact, my Japanese teacher taught me to romanize it as o. I try to use wo when putting up song titles and such on my lj to not confuse people, but I have to actively make myself do it or I'd just type o. xp Unfortunately, not all teachers teach it the same way so it can get confusing. But anyway, the particle wo is o is o is wo. ^_^

You may discuss the anime in this thread, even though it is in the manga subforum (just not too much, I guess ^_^;.) Both the manga and anime are different, however they do have some similarities. You can discuss how they are different or alike, which one you perfer, and why. In my opinion, I love both; just the manga a bit more!

DISCLAIMER!


Despite what your fellow Gaians might say, I'd like to make it clear that this thread is not the official Full Moon wo Sagashite manga discussion thread.

-----


As you can see, this thread's been neglected by me, the creator, for a while now. I've had others redirect creators of "repeat" threads to this "official" thread without my say. It's a little late to make this post now, and I do realize no one actually reads the first post let alone scroll down to even catch a glimpse of this post, but at least I did put this somewhere. Better late than never, right?

As for updates, I'm sorry to say that I will not be updating this anymore. A lot of the posts still have the old coding before all these other BBCode features came in, and frankly, I've lost a tremendous amount of interest in manga (yes, blasphemous to say in the manga subforum) and I don't have the time to fix every single code.

If you're having plans to open another Full Moon thread, then by all means! Just leave my wording and graphics (even if they suck) in peace. They're all going with this thread to the grave.

Lastly, you may continue to converse or whatever in this thread. Please, however, do not spam or advertise, and I'd like it if you guys didn't stretch the page, and have quote monsters (ie: quoting first page, quoting a series of images, quote pyramids)... Please treat my first manga thread nicely :'D

Thanks to all who've supported me and/or this thread while I was here or not. It was a blast!

P.S. STICKIES = THE NEW SEX. Read them. Obey them. Love them. Especially this one.

For the love of Gaia, moderators, others, and sanity.
