mayoraaseiMyo~ Random post #2:
Went to Kino yesterday and during a moment of compulsive buying, I bought Fushigi Yuugi Genbu Kaiden volume 2. Somehow, I ordered volume 1 as well...
Me: Excuse me, do you have volume one of this too? *holds up FY v2*
Salesperson: Wait a moment please...*checks* *mumbles in Chinese* Someone's stolen it! *In English* Not right now, would you like to place an order?
Me: No thanks.
Salesperson: *beaming and simultaneously filling out an order form* GOOD! Now sign here please!

So far I do like FY(GK?) a lot more than the original FY (which Yuu Watase calls the Seiryuu/Suzaku arc); for one thing, Toriko (I think that's the romaji for it) isn't as annoying as Miaka, but that's not saying much. Rimudo also isn't as stupid and annoying as Tamahome - not that that's saying much either; although I still find the whole concept of him turning into a girl every time he uses his power really weird. The whole construction of it is much more mature as well: not just the plot, art and characters, but also the tone of the story. I really like Tomoka(? - man, I don't remember any of their names...) He's the guy that appears briefly in FY original along with Hikitsu(?), just before Nuriko (or after?) gets killed. Argh, I really should revise what happened in FY. It's interesting to see that the style of the clothing is quite different as well, nothing quite as lavish or elaborate as the clothing in Kounan(???); even the princes' clothing don't look all that decorated. I recommend FYGK! I also recommend Zettai Kareshi!!! Night better end up with Riiko or I'll...erm...I'll wait until Watase finished FYGK before I skewer her or something. Oh! It's also interesting to note that Rimudo doesn't look all that much like Tamahome - his hair isn't black! Lol! Tomoka is very cute though <3 I think he's somewhat a cross between Tasuki and Suboshi... I really liked the seishi names in the FY-o...I don't know, but Rimudo's seishi equivalent name just sounds really stupid ~~; Probably just me.
While in Kino, I also spotted an English version of the comic of 倚天屠龍記...I was so scarred -_______-; I think even having comic versions of Chinese wuxia novels is wrong...and translating it into English is just.......*shudders*

aye~ I haven't read manga for so long T_T...I guess it has something to do with the fact I can't afford manga anymore *cough*
And Furuba....wtf-ness all around = =||| It's getting too complicated and there's too many loose ends...Perhaps I shall pick it up again when it's finished...>_>;;
Speaking of english manga and being scarred. Last time I saw a middle aged skip guy buying english version of One Piece....+__+||||
At least it wasn't Naruto >_>|||
