RIP

[mayoraasei]

irc.mircx.com - ie, the server that hosts almost all English scanlation groups and the majority of fansub groups - has officially died. Most groups have probably relocated and should have announcements on their websites. I think #mangaproject, #shoujomagic and #mangaart are all currently on irc.cruelfate.net

I was reading Fruits Basket volume 13 yesterday and noticed that Ayame has a chibi mouse as a mobile phone accessory. Very cute~!! ^^

Reasons why Tooru would get with Kyou instead of Yuki
- When Kyou says "If you have a guy you like, I would help you", Tooru bursts into tears (though she claims she doesn't know why she cried)
- Tooru is hurt when Kyou says "It's none of your business" and is worried that he would push her away one day.
- Yuki admits to Manabe that Tooru has given him a love that is most similar to "a mother's unencumbered love", and while he knows that romantic love does and can develop from that, it seems hinted that he prefers it not to develop purely from those grounds.
- Yuki also points out that when Tooru ran after Kyou (in volume 6) "Kyou had looked at Tooru as a woman he loved, and she had looked back with the same feelings".
- And the fact that a Yuki + Machi ending looks too possible, though, like Irene, I prefer Yuki + Manabe, without slash =^^=

Funniest pairings
Yuki x Manabe
Mayuko x Shigure
Ayame and anyone else XD

I would like to see...
- Mayuko get together with either Shigure or Hatori. It'll be nicer for her to get with Tori-san, but she's hilarious with Gure-nii.
- Hanajima with Kazuma, if only for the expressions on everyone's faces XD
- Momiji and Momo-chan - so cute!!!
- Ayame get a girlfriend? *Gasps in shock*
- Manabe's girlfriend...I wonder if she's anything like Yuki-hime....mua ha ha XD
- An end to the story ~~; It looks all set to beat Hanakimi. I'll kill someone if it attempts to overtake Hana Yori Dango. There was a time when the longest shoujo stories were at a maximum of 10 volumes T___T

Manga I now want to finish collecting...
(Since enough people are doing Furuba already *grins*)
- Full Moon wo Sagashite
- Marchen Prince
- Zettai Kareshi: but Night better gets a good ending!!!

Ah, the plot's plonking on with its slow pace. Lots and lots of Yuki and Rin angst! Actually lots of angst with everyone ~~;;

Yuki: "I'm so sly, I was so pathetic, I really hate the old me, I want to change, one day I want to be able to face myself."
Tooru: "It's all been safely hidden, I don't want to see those memories again. I'll do my best sticking my nose in other people's business!" -- her own words.
Kagura: "I was so sly, I pretended I accepted all of Kyou without actually doing so. I created the gap between us."
Rin: "Why is everyone so kind to me?" *bursts into tears*
Kyou: "Not much time left, I have to treasure it."
Uotani: "COME SEE ME DAMN YOU!"
Kureno (rooster): "I can't go see her again."
Momiji: "I want to play the violin."
Momo-chan: "I want to play the violin with Momiji."
Mayuko: "I like Hatori, and DAMN THAT SHIGURE."
Hanajima: "..."

And all the other people do a good job of looking angsted by the development ~___~ Except Shigure, who seems to be in some deep dark plot behind everything.

Argh ~~;;; There was sooooo much angst on Yuki's part (cos he's the main character and was always a bit depressed to begin with). Every now and then he'd suddenly get depressed and have a fit, usually at Manabe. But he's now become close(r) with Ayame, going so far to defend his brother in front of his mum (that was cute ^^)

Ooooooh Momiji playing the violin? WAAAAAAH SO CUTE!
And Ayame!!!! Awww good to see he's finally gotten his wish and are patching things up with Yuki.

So like, what exactly IS Yuki angsting about?

[luna-rainbow.livejournal.com]

Yup, Momiji played the violin until his dad stopped him from playing because Momo-chan wanted to learn too ~~;;;

Er, I don't know what Yuki's angsting about. He always goes off on a little thought trip and either says "I'm starting to accept myself and other people more" or "I'm still so pathetic, I can't relate to other people [the way Kyou can]"...

But yeah...the author's doing a cheap CLAMP trick ;___; She's telling half of everything, and leaving the fans thinking "WHAT? WHAT?? WHAT WAS HE GOING TO SAY????" Arggh....frustrating T__T That's why you're getting so many different FB speculations coming out.

Speaking of CLAMP, it's been almost 2 years since the last time they touched X ~~;;

[beliael.livejournal.com]

I thought it was one year... BUT STILL ONE YEAR TOO LONG! ><

I've heard rumours that CLAMP won't continue X anymore. LORDLY, I HOPE NOT.
