A book you will never see but should

I just finished reading chapter 28 of Kodomo no Jikan. It's a well written story about a girl trying to cope with every day life in grade school. A lot of the topics addressed in the series might seem to be a little too adult but the truth is that children these days are maturing at an accelerated rate. The main cause of this is their unrestricted access to pop culture, the infinite sea of information available to them, and media saturation by commercial broadcasting. The other main problem is a lack of parental guidance; not parental restriction mind you, that's even worse. It's akin to not teaching a child about wildlife and then wondering with disbelief why the child stuck their arm in a lion's mouth and got it bitten off. Ignorance is bliss, but it is also death in disguise. This series is a in depth look at what children are faced with today, It is a shame that Seven Seas pulled the publication of this book after buying the rights to it. I think there are a lot of people that really need to read it, unfortunately they are the ones who would see it not hit the shelves of book stores. My advice, find a copy on line and read it. Go past the superficial and read between the lines to what the author (which happens to be a woman) is trying to show. A big thanks to SaHa for translating this to English so the rest of us can learn from this story. 30 chapters have been published so far, 1-28 and 2 preleminary chapters.
