only I can't really imagine buying anything in that quantity - especially if I didn't do it for Mars
Yeah, especially since this thing is 36 volumes, only 19 of which have been published stateside.
If you like the look of the anime, then by all means you should get it, as it's very very good. I've bought mine on ebay. Just be careful to get the series and not the movie (even though my series DVDs have movie pics on the cover and I almost died from the horror as the movie is an AU set in a ballet school. Yes, really). I really really love it (usually, artwork is a make or break it thing for me, in anime, and the fact that I ended up marathonning this despite never getting into the artwork is a huge thing for me).
I do remember, since this was the first version of HYD I came across, how horrified I was in the beginning that the heroine, whom I really liked, was going to end up with Domyouji :P
