TeniPuri: renewed attempt at relevancy XD
Dec. 29th, 2003 10:15 pmSo yes, had a brief flip through the manga today while waiting for T. It turns out that the reason I don't remember much from the freetalk thingies is that there really aren't all that many of them - what you mostly get at the end of Tenipuri chapters are gag panels (some of which, I suspect, made their way into the anime). There's Seigaku Q&A, Hyotei Q&A, Chibi Mizuki and Butsubutsu!Shinji teaching tennis court etiquette (...don't ask...), the usual popularity/chocolate rankings, the "classmates" contest which I thought was rather brill - albeit a nightmare if you want to introduce random named extras to your fic and are the anal type. (Apparently Kimeru sent in a postcard to be in Momo's class, but they didn't let him win. XD;;;) There's also Konomi talking about the usual schtuff like anime and fanbook info and hanging with the seiyuu at recording sessions - dunno, after Ayamine's let-it-all-hang-out displays of spastic dorkdom everyone else seems a bit corporate in their freetalks. ^^; The one part that amused me awfully was when he talked about guesting at an official Jump convention event of some kind, and getting recognised by a group of fangirls while sitting in the lobby. So then he was like, "I'll be wandering around the floor next time too, watch for me~~" ...And in the next freetalk had to apologise for not, in fact, being around, as security apparently was like, "Will the mangaka guests of honour please refrain from mixing with the crowd, as we are not insured against you being torn apart by rabid fangirls. Not to specifically single anyone out here BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT YOU MR. TENNIS GUY."
