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.

The former is a fairly interesting "outsider's view" of the 2000 US presidential race (and US politics, national identity, and, interestingly, Vietnam, from a Japanese perspective); was consistently nominated for various awards, but was also read by a grand total of like five people. The author, incidentally, is the same guy who did Silent Service, which was rather notorious in the late-'80's for its thinly-veiled anti-Americanism.

The latter explores the conversion of Japan to a US-style representative democracy complete with strong executive...which sounds interesting, but the thing itself basically becomes a Tom Clancy military/technothriller knockoff, complete with a new Korean War and the Chinese invasion of Taiwan...so, "interesting", but not actually *good*...
