I have always been a fan of Japan, its anime/manga, and its caluture among many other great things. I can openly say my respect for the Japanese has only grown over the years. After hereing this it has grown even more. I hope for only the best for such a proud nation, and hope with all my heart for their recovery. It will take time perhaps even more than we can imagine, but one day Japan will be fully recovered, and standing strong once again.
