From Tokyo with Love: Canada's Chart Attack discovers Courtney Love's Princess Ai manga: 
 
"Before Hole, before Kurt, Love had Tokyo. She spent several years in Tokyo, living and performing, while immersing herself in Japanese pop culture, including manga comics, where characters show how nervous they are with a giant bead of sweat, or how happy they are with rainbow shaped eyes. Love approached Tokyopop with her idea, which is, like, the Marvel comics of manga. Her idea, in a nutshell, is that this: like, an alien chick is being hunted by demons or something, but, like, all she wants to do is rock! And then some dude named D.J. Milky stepped in to be a co-creator, gave this alien chick super powers along with the task of saving her home planet."
