Usual babble
Jan. 7th, 2004 10:42 pmLo is coming back from Japan this month. I am trying to get her to proxy-buy useful Prince of Tennis merchandise for me (by useful I mean, of course, containing data as opposed to cute toys and geegaws), but Lo is a shoujo's shoujo and has never heard of the series. "What's the author and imprint? Wings, Chara, Flower? So I can identify it in the sea of pink and red lettering." *laughs weakly* Sugoi, ano ko. Didn't think one could be a fangirl physically in the Land of the Rising Sun and escape the merest osmotic knowledge of Shounen Jump.
We took care to sl0re her on GB before she left, though, so at least that one is covered. XD
(I'm cursed, she says wearily. What happened to the scanlation site of this wretched thing? OTOH I learnt the hard way with HikaGo that being a mere week behind the Japanese serialisation doesn't actually make me any happier, because I loathe following manga in dozen-page dribblets. So perhaps I should just wait for tankoubon - Chinese tankoubon, for family's sake - and adopt a stoic attitude toward spoilers.)
( up to 208 )
In real-life news, bumped into Japanese-class-Dave in the metro car coming home last night (this happens, in fact, at least once every few months ^^;), and got an email from Justin this afternoon, though he'd actually sent it several days ago to an account I check rarely. A slacker in friendship am I, surely; there's a lot of catching up to do on both fronts.
