A friend of mine just picked up the domestic DVD. I'd like to pick it up myself because it's a fine series (well, ova, it's only 4 epps).
The manga goes further than the anime and the ending is pretty depressing (I think the manga does a better job of resolving it, but then it's longer).
Still, I reccoment it. It's pretty powerful.

You know, I think I've heard of this? But I can't quite recall what it's about. Could you give us a few more - non-spoiler - details?

Aliens are on earth, and elementary school students are in charge of keeping them off school grounds. They wear "hats" which are actually symbiotic aliens.

Hmmmm.... am I mistaken in thinking that ComicsOne translated and published the manga over here?

I believe the Manga is by Central Park Media since they are bundling the the anime and manga together in a boxset.

Alien Nine is the creepiest anime/manga I have ever read. Especially after some shit I read about the series. Its an interesting show and gets bonus points for being creative but is a show I could never buy since I never want to watch it again. I am however picking up the manga so I can see how they differ.
