And the winner of the Shoujo Science Fiction manga giveaway is…Helen!
As the winner, Helen (who also runs the great reviews blog Narrative Investigations) will be receiving a new copy of the first volume of Saki Hiwatari’s shoujo science fiction epic Please Save My Earth. I love science fiction and have a particular fondness for shoujo science fiction, especially “old-school” manga.
