Twin Spica 9 Out

Go watch it already! :) It's another flashback episode. If you're wondering, it's in the 2nd volume of the manga. In the manga the side stories are after the main story in each volume. The bit with Marika at the beginning of the episode isn't in this story in the manga (but it might be there later since I haven't read all of the manga).

The first episode of the series is actually taken from Yaginuma Kou's debut work that was in Comic Flapper in July of 2000, "2015nen no uchiage hanabi". The actual Twin Spica manga didn't start until October of 2001 in Comic Flapper.
