What Anime Means To Me: Nikkaku Animart

Sending my first mail-order purchase to the San Jose-based Japanese gift shop Nikkaku Animart on April 2, 1989. The order was for 2 Dirty Pair shitajiki, the first two hardcover Cream Lemon film comics, Akira film comics volumes 2 & 3, and the first volume of the Hokuto no Ken manga. The first Cream Lemon book turned out to be sold out. I finally got it on my 5th order placed on September 25, 1989.
