The four girls are horrified (and maybe a little fascinated). It's so unlike anything they've seen, would probably shock everyone else in their town, and definitely would take over their extremely conservative Christian school. That's when they have the idea to sell copies to local boys...for twenty dollars a pop. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt first, everything goes perfectly, with the friends raking in cash--pretty soon they'll even have enough money to buy the matching jackets they've always dreamed of! But as the market for mildly titillating anime DVDs grows, the girls realize they'll need new material. On top of figuring out how to replicate their first success, there's growing tension within the group. Brooke and Kelly's romance is on its last legs, and hurt feelings are guaranteed when Melissa starts falling for one of them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWill the four girls' shared history be strong enough to see them through this upheaval? Or will they learn that some things can only end in heartbreak?\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDave Baker (he\/him) is an Eisner Award-nominated writer and illustrator.
