Mugen-Anime is fan-subbing, VERY well I might add. The manga is out there somewhere, I know because I downloaded it, but I lost track of the site because the translating was stopped.

I was born and raised in L.A. so there was japanese culture all around me if I were to simply look for it, and armed with the internet and a (highly superior) Mac, there were even more ways to come to the realization that going to Japan was my dream.
