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.

a bit of a Christ figure? ^^; (well I guess he's not as bad as Kamui...)
I adore Vash, and that isn't to say that half of my tiny dj collection isn't WWxV, but I don't actually see it that much in canon.

Hmm, now if GB would just get back to being happyhappyjoyjoy don'ttheseboysloveeachotherso. As opposed to this extended separation and yes flashbacks are nice but I want my kiss of life gosh darn it!!!
...ahem.

well, come on, christ figures are pretty common.

Ginji, for example. They didn't just SAY he is the messiah. He IS the saviour in GB. Think about it:

* these days he tends to turn the other cheek, almost to the point of idiocy.
* he died and came back to life (when Natsuhiko stabbed him... Ayamine said at some point that the idea was that he did die but his will to live was too strong or something like that) via the power of the Holy Ghost (er, Raitei) and inspired by God (Ban-chan).
* the villians in GB tend to repent and find salvation. Who is it usually through? Yes, that's right, it's usually through the inspiring genuine goodness that is within Gin-chan. Sometimes he has to kick their asses first.
* He has apostles. One of them betrayed him. But he's sorry now.
* EVERYONE in ths series likes him, pretty much, sometimes inexplicably.
* has no parents and was found and raised by the good and kind joseph Teshimine.
* is jewish um, he has a crown of, er, thorns? XD
* has been crucified. XD

YOU SEE?! THE LIST GOES ON AND ON

...Actually I've been fooling with a story with just that concept for a couple months now, with Masaki the Father and Raitei the Son who refuses the cup at Gethsemane, at the temptation of the Serpent...
...I think I might get in trouble... ^^;;;
