Chelsey Nov 19 2013 9:48 am Hello, I believe your website may be having broser compatibility problems. When I look at your site in Safari, it looks fine however, when opening in IE, it has some overlapping issues. I simply wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Besides that, excellent site!

Cadwalider Sep 23 2013 8:51 am This incredible little one has moved me to both smiles and tears many times and I hope that she will continue to have a long and successful career, Ashida Mana is an absolute treasure and a credit to her profession. It's almost sad that she can't remain a kid for a longer period of time. But, I guess it's the same for all of us, in that regard. Keep smiling, Mana-chan!!
