Leaving so soon? Oh well, I guess you can't really stay here forever, just isn't practical. Below are links to sites dealing with Shirow in one form or another. Aside from the official sites like Seishinsha and Dark Horse, whose information isn't much beyond product information, I highly recommend sTwo's, Puto's, and Asgard's sites for Shirow information. Not to toot my own horn, but those are the only Shirow sites I've come across that contain better information that mine does. The Hyperpages could be conisdered the fourth, but aside from sTwo in all of those, none have updated in at least a year, if not longer. Eventually I plan on including links to a varieto of Japanese fanart sites featuring shirow-related art, but today is not that day. Same goes for online retailers, while J-list over there helps out with paying the bills(and I certainly encourage you to help with theirs), there's any number of shops online that you can order Shirow merchandise from, some have a better selection than most, and others having access to the more obscure items, so with a bit of shopping around you can probably find the better part of what you're looking for.
