Maybe I'm a moron, but I have no idea what OT means. Is it an abbreviation for a manga title or it is internet jargon?
One more step towards manga in the mainstream...

Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Heh, it's an abbriviation(sp?) of the rating on the back of most manga. In specific, I mean Older Teen. I am only allowed to get manga up to the Teen rating. *pouts*
Think happy thoughts.

My parents aren't very big on manga ratings. They think that all cartoon are for kids, so in their minds anime=cartoons=for kids. I've tried to explain it to them, but it's hopeless 
But I keep out of the mature section anyways.
yeah I'm a goody goody.
Anyways, the manga selection at my Borders is HUGE! I could just revel and sit there for hours, staring...but then again that's just me.

I know! My dad is exactly this way. He wanted me to let my 10 year old brother watch Noir because it's a cartoon. Gah!

10 year old brother? Noir? Haha!
My sisters are ten as well...I let them read a limited number of my manga, namely, just my Azumanga volumes lol. I've also let them watch Haibane Renmei. They like anime too, but I try to censor enough for them...I'm also saving up to buy them the Azumanga anime as a surprise present...yes I'm such a good sister...beh...
Thankfully enough my sisters aren't nosey enough to look at my Chobits or Love Hina manga >_>

Ahaha... no such creatures exist at my school.
My parents don't pay attention much to the age ratings on manga/anime, all they care about is that I don't start going Buddhist or trying to use spirit powers or anything, which I wont, although I'm sure they'd be pretty upset if they found me reading dirty manga. I've never read over the OT rating myself.
Alas, the bookstores in my little hick town (that's endearment, fyi) have but one small shelf of manga apiece, and like I said mostly containing the "popular" series.
I'm not gonna charge people for borrowing my manga, but from now on I think I'll only do trades and borrow someone else's book while they borrow mine. Unless it's a close friend or something. They get all the perks of befriending an otaku.
