I picked up the first volume of Best Student Council not too long ago and really enjoyed it. I was curious about a few things with the way ADV's releasing it.
First: Can anyone tell me if there's an art box planned? I've poked about but I haven't seen any mention. ADV has been screwing me out of art boxes lately (UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie and Diamond Daydreams) so I'm concerned that they're going to do it to me again.
Second: Does anyone know if they're going to release Puchan stickers with each volume or if later volumes will have different characters? It's not that I dislike stickers but I'd rather have some with Rino or Kaori. (I'd really prefer pencil boards but ADV didn't ask my opinion.)
Third and Last: Is there any chance ADV might make a Puchan puppet? It would be a sweet collectible for such a wacky show.
Anyway, just a few questions and hope someone's got some good answers. (Is there an ADV rep here on ANN? I know Funi and Seven Seas have people here but I don't think I've ever seen an ADV person.)
