   I heard something about the problem U.S. publishers having with all
the stories from Jump Comics being that the japanese publisher is 
very resistant to having their pages "flipped" to conform to the american
way of reading left to right.
   Then again, maybe it's a matter of acquisition costs as well.

   I've heard of it, but I haven't bought any of it yet.  So far, I've only
seen an episode of the anime.  It reminded me of Lupin.  I read about the
live action movie, but haven't had a chance to see it.  I saw a picture
of some of the actresses in costume.  It looks pretty good.  
   I saw Jackie Chan's performance in the live action City Hunter movie
though.  I wasn't too keen on it, though it was funny to see Kaori's 
1000 ton mallet.
