Overview

Saki Hiwatari--The Creator

Saki was born on July 5, 1963. She began her career at the age of nineteen by sending in a manga story to a very popular shoujo manga (i.e girl's comics) magazine--Hana to Yume.(which in english means: 'Flowers and Dreams') She called the story "Mahou Tsukai wa Shitteiru" or "To know a Magician."

After this, she was on her way. Her next manga would make a name for herself, Boku-Chikyuu.

The original idea for PSME came from her childhood dreams. Once when she was little she had dreamed of all of the plants speaking to her and singing sweet music. From this dream she came up with the character Alice.

She moved to a new house when she was in high school. When she had first reached the house, she looked out over her new neighborhood which was covered in snow. She noticed small footprints which she assumed were a small boy's. The foot prints ended suddenly with no continuing footprints as if the little boy had disapeared. The idea for Rin came from this.

At first idea had not included the idea of having the characters reincarnated, but rather she came up with it as she began to draw. Many of her ideas for PSME just evolved with time. When talking about PSME, she had said,"I want you to feel nostalgic and feel a sense of wonderment at the same time."

This is Rin twirling his ribbon .....thinks ...thinking .... I remember a time when Ribbon Dancers were so hot and I would stand outside and thin I was 'da bomb swishing the florescent nylon..(hehe) ummm...not that it has anything to do with anything ^_-

Please Save My Earth

The first time I ever saw "Please Save My Earth" I completely loved it! The OAV Series is based on the shoujou manga by Saki Hiwatari.(refer to left column!!) It was originally printed weekly in "Hano to Yume" magazine. Then later it was released as a tankoubon-compiled volume.

Later, an OAV series was created containing six episodes. *Sniff-Wish there were more!* Each of these episodes are 30 minutes long. In Japan it was put out by Hakusensha and Victor Entertainment. In America you can get them through Viz Video.

The Episodes
--Awakening
--The Meeting
--Memories of the Moon
--Thoughts
--ESP
--Reincarnation, and then...

Ever since she was a little girl, plants and animals have always seemed to love Japanese high school student Alice Sakaguchi. Her next door neighbor Rin loves her too. Even though he is only eight years old, he is determined that him and Alice will be married.

Alice's classmates, Jinpachi and Isssei, tell her that they've been sharing the same dreams since they were in junior high school. The people and objects in thier dreams always have the same names, and they remember details and conversations as though they were awake. The settling for the dreams is always the Moon. On the moon there are seven scientists that are from another plant that watch and study the earth.

Alice has a "moon dream," where she recalls her life on the moon and her love for Shion. Together the three of them search for the rest of the seven scientists and the story of PSME really begins...but I can't ruin it for you! You'll just have to see it for yourself!
