Beware the JoJo fan in a position of power
LAUGHING. Candidate for biggest nerd-out by members of the "respectable" scientific community since Planet Xena. But think, it could have been worse - the researchers could have insisted that their discovery be illustrated in moe-chara style. LIGASE-TAN WILL BIND YOUR SYNAPSES WITH LOVE.
Those of you who're Ph.D.-tracked, I'm looking at you.
In other hilarious news, apparently there are Viewfinder side-stories out? They're from the most recent fanbook, I think. (Speaking of which the merchandising for this series has really gotten ridonkulous.)
Love Prize 3: Asami x Takaba with a seasonal theme, like the first two only incrementally sappier. At this point it's nearly functional without the dys-, i.e. one has to figure it's AU or else set in a nebulous post-NT future (and don't I grok the urge). This is what Yamane does best, though; it's not like she's out to write gangland noir fundamentally. XD
Naked Truth Zero: eight-page backstory from the POV of Yoh, who as always is a gem of a long-suffering retainer. Concerns Feilong in prison... yeah, she went there, and by there I mean the showers. Hilarity. But now at least it's ascertained that Yan is (probably) still alive, which is more than one knew before.
Other updates: TRC 159-165 and Holic 139-144, otherwise known as "in shocking news, Fye and Watanuki still can't catch a break with a mile-wide net".
Kurogane: Bitch, this flashback fails at logic.
Me: It, it wasn't my Japanese reading comprehension. T_T
Where this series would be without Kurogane's big sword I'm sure I don't know.
When all's said and done the revelations of the Celes Arc are 1) nothing as expected and 2) exactly as expected. I would ask why Ashura-ou felt obliged to dismember his subjects (a curse? inherent nature? shits and giggles?), except people are supposed to share a soul across world-versions, and he was pretty ineffable the last time too. orz The whole labyrinthine strategizing in order to get someone who cares about you to grant your batshit insane wish while incidentally screwing up their entire life and that of a dozen other people in the process? Yeah.
As for xxxHolic there's not much to do but wait and see. >_> At least CLAMP may have sated themselves on bandage-moe!Watanuki for the moment? I think?
I've also read up to FMA vol.11, halfway through. Am however missing vol.15 which stands to become a problem in the near future. ^^;

I'm sure Araki's depiction of my massive world-altering neurotransmitter breakthrough would look like a gay robot ejaculating flowers onto the face of another gay robot. THAT REPRESENTS CHEMICALS DIFFUSING ACROSS THE SYNAPSE YOU SEE
no subject
I, I'm working with fungi right now? We know he likes fungi! He gave the fungi guy a gimp!
(And viruses. Was there a virus stand somewhere? Canon crushes me beneath the merciless weight of backstory!)
