Love the series, just too cute. Though Yayoi's treatment within the series is a bit questionable. Not saying it's bad or anything but she's a little too energetic no? Most of the characters retain most of their original personality...but then again I guess I shouldn't be complaining much on about Yayoi then the treatment of Takane within the series, Akane-sensei has taken Takane and made her more "odd" then "mysterious".
Really looking forward to the release of volume 5 of the manga next month, they're releasing a limited edition with a bonus DVD of the anime if anyone wasn't aware of that yet.
There seems to be plenty of Puchim@s! merchandise coming out too. Though I'm STILL waiting to hear anything on a 1/1 scale plushie...c'mon, I'd bet that fans, including myself, is willing to pay good money for that. I've mentioned this so many times...seriously, that should've been idea #1 for Puchim@s! merchandise.
