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.

Anyone for whom that's not enough can go and read City Hunter. Thank you for playing. [eg]
Besides, 'subtextually' bit is unfair - with enough experience (> 1 year in net.fandom) one can see slash in ANYTHING with two men in it.
Lastly - true-blue shoujo is much more puritanical about ghei than shounen. Take for instance 'Deimos no Hanayome'...

Date: 2003-11-14 07:54 am (UTC)I suppose what I meant by "subtextually" was, "does not have a screaming horde of fangirls ready to cut one's throat for not believing in their pairings." And you're quite right about the shoujo, but I seem to be bouncing from shounen series to shounen series and have been all year... And I'm pretty sure I know people who slash JoJo. By the way. *eg*
Regardless I did get a number of recs out of this post. *g*

If they would only stop screaming for a second, they would
probably not believe their pairings themselves. [g]

Few deviants fandom do not make. Jojo's presence on Comiket was always minimal, even in the glory days of Part III and Joutarou x Kakyouin.
Simply put, in old days shounen manga used to be UGLY. Can you imagine a pairing from, say, 'Hokuto no Ken' ? Yuck. When it started to get all pretty, a-la Kenshin, is when the fangirls REALLY flooded in.
