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.

I have up to vol.6. Am currently a couple of chapters into vol.5. ^_^v

...She really doesn't pull any punches, does she. ^_^;;

No she doesn't. It only gets more, uhh, intense. But the panelling is still so amazing even when the death and blood gets slightly overwhelming. I can't wait till you read all six volumes.

I want to hear your wankage then. Oh, the wankage *jumps up & down*

And, and, and when you finally gets your hands on volume 1& 2 of Kurogane... oh man, I want a full dissertion from you. With footnotes if possible.

See, it is getting harder and harder trying not to spoil everyone.

So here's a practical question then - where the heck is Kurogane running, if it's not Enix/GanGan anymore? Are the chances such that I should be pro-active about it, or trust it will show up near me in a Chinese version? ^^;

(Are you getting these in Chinese?)

(...Is it really her first manga?)

No need to be pro-active. Yet.

The first 6 volumes ends without -much- need for a sequel. One can happily stop there, but the second series provide much more fodder and much more angst (not enough explanation yet). And while I can't be 100% positive, I'm 99% positive you'll enjoy it.

Yes, I am getting Kurogane in Chinese. My Chinese might be bad, but I have my trsuty dictionary right next to me. Beside, I have much more hope at reading it in Chinese than Japanese ^^;;;

I have no idea. I keep on thinking she might be one of those people who do other works under a pseudoname. I mean most first manga isn't this complete. This pretty, this perfect. Then, I haven't come across any manga that is similar in artwork as hers.
