Peace Maker manga was in the shop!

...The rest of Prince of Tennis was not. >_> <_< As flies to wanton boys are we to the manga gods. To hell with it, though, I'm reading the fic come fire or high spoiler.

That is, as soon as I am able to mark a pause in my ear-steaming fangirl mania over Peace Maker. Dear, dear saints alive. It's just as well I didn't bother to set up phone post this afternoon, or you'd all be afflicted with my hyperventilations in real time, real sound. Or maybe all you'd hear is choking noises, as I run out of superlatives and am reduced to flapping.

I suspect I should get my act together and make some detailed fannish posts on this that and the other (I kind of regret not blogging all my crackpot impressions as I wended my way through the GB anime, y'see; so many st00pid Vagrant Story / Kenshin animation team jokes not saved for posterity), but aaaaarrrrgggghhhh. *flaps* I refuse to believe it's Kurono Nanae's first manga, period: no acolyte is this well-versed in the nittou ryu of Angst and Crack. *deep breathes* Right. Will go watch anime now.

She says the pigs are historical, so there.

Oh, P.S., other manga I got are Saiyuki Reload (so I can make sure I understand XD) and this other pwetty thing called Youko-Den. As in fox spirit. However, it is more precisely 妖狐伝義経千本桜。 Ohohohohohohoho~ *ojousama laughter trailing off into distance*

P.P.S. Is anyone I know currently reading a <i>proper</i> shounen manga that is universally acknowledged NOT to have teh ghei, either textually or subtextually? I need to recalibrate my brain. Thank you.

Well, that's kind of what I mean. Subtext has always been a question of reading, and one is sure (for instance) that one's male friends don't see it at all and think one is on crack. Which is comforting and grounds one, in a way. XD

GetBackers stretches the boundaries nigh on to breaking point. Peace Maker appears well on its way to disregarding said boundaries, with a skip and a bound and a well-you-know-samurai-in-*those*-days. Thus, I need a reg'r shounen series to read. XD;

Well, as long as the subtext is only there when you wear the slash-colored glasses... I have no idea about recent titles, though.

Having been dragged (kicking and screaming, I tell you) into GB fandom, I plan on staying here for a while, so I've been actively resisting most other shiny shiny new toys, though I am considering investigating PoT... just enough to appreciate the fact that one of my favorite doujinshika is drawing for it. *sheepish*

yeah, I have that problem too... almost EVERYONE who is a favorite djka of mine draws Prince of Gheiness doujinshi these days. I have like... 4 PoT doujin... purely because they're by Private Label, one of my favorite circles, and last summer comiket I instructed my lackies to "get me everything on her table, I don't care what it is." XD
