@CB3 I would'be listed it but RAVE anime wasn't too big around here those days since it didn't really go on any channel. The manga however was more popular than Naruto manga(since this is hormonal preteens we are talking here >_>) and even some 'female' teachers borrowed the volumes to read(don't ask me how that was allowed) Cardcaptor Sakura manga was also available but sadly only one of my friends appreciated it and I myself still haven't finished it much to my dismay :( Still, the fact that it was available locally meant that it was a staple of the generation.

There was also this random gory smutty manga on a shelf one day many years ago that I forgot about till just now. Can't remember the name(obviously), but man... for it to appear there near the children's section just goes to show how terrible the market awareness was back then. Nick had it much worse >_<

Also, lol same. I didn't know RAVE's author at the time(because I only bought DB and Naruto volumes) but was utterly shocked when I saw Plue and very familiar artstyle in the first FT opening.
