One knows that a mangaka has attained a status of unassailable popularity when their publication schedule resembles the rain forecast for central Australia.
*Cough* Hunter x Hunter *cough* Watase Yuu *cough* Yuki Kaori.
Well, apparently, Yuki-sensei has started a new work, called Camelot Garden (Picture here for archive)
I don't know if this means she's finished Ludwig Revolution or if she's just letting it simmer itself into oblivion. Kind of like Zero no Choukoushi and Bloodhound. Were those meant to be finished works? >__>; She hasn't produced anything substantial ever since Count Cain. Even Fairy Cube I thought was a lazy effort on her part, lifting quite a lot of elements from earlier works like Gravel Kingdom, and never returning to the sort of intensity she managed in Angel Sanctuary or even Count Cain.
Though I must admit, I was very fond of Ian ^^;
But if this Camelot Garden thing be to King Arthur what Fairy Cube was to Celtic legends.......eek. I am so sick of King Arthur retreads!
-=-=-=-=-=-= I divide, this I do -=-=-=-=-=-=
We had 2 days worth of ethics and professionalism talks last week. Some parts were more interesting than others, although we still struggle to discern the relevance of a 45 minute talk on global warming. It was also impressed upon us that we were well on our way to becoming drug addicts and alcoholics, and failing that (or as a consequence), we are 3 times more likely than the general population to contribute to RTA road toll statistics. And that should we ever become an experienced, fully qualified doctor, we will by then personally know of at least one colleague who took their own life.
There was also an engaging forum on ethical issues, case scenarios that prompted contribution from the floor. A mother dying of cancer asking for euthanasia, the family not wanting an old lady to know about her cancer because the word is synonymous with death in their cultural mentality. I am not here to teach you ethics; there is no right answer, the lecturer says as he mediates the debate, you must decide what your principles are, and be consistent.
A remote hospital with equipment shortage must make a choice of saving only three of four patients. Is allowing chance/God to make this choice (by drawing names out of a hat) any more ludicrous than using your own judgements on the qualities (such as age, prognosis, outcome, social contribution) of the patient?
Then we watched a wonderfully hilarious video by John Nance, comparing problems in health administration to similar problems in the aviation industry. His dramatic reenactments made even his near-Boeing-speed American-accented talking enjoyable.
And finally, something for interest: guy resistant to cold.
