I did peek at the manga section. There weren't many titles I recognized, though. They did have that one you mentioned getting...Ruroni? Something with an R? Sorry! I remember ones I've seen, but not ones I haven't.

They had Escaflowne, and if I'd had lots of time, I might have at least looked through the first volume, just to see what manga is like. But we were trying to fit in a bunch of places in a fairly short time, so I didn't do more than flip through quickly.

"Rurouni Kenshin" (rurouni is a made-up word roughly translation to "wanderer")

The Escaflowne manga is hideous. It's lousy. It's bad art and worse butchery of the story. Don't bother. Most of the time, the manga comes before the anime; in this case, they tried to create a mange after the anime, and it just didn't work.
