"10K soldiers and palace guards are hunting us, ready to slice off their heads, so let's stop a moment and fuck."
"Okay."
Yes, please do.
No. That's a cruel trick to play on Takauchi and the girl. Udou deserves to have his ass kicked.
Totally agree with u.
All is fair in love and war ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Yeah, I know it's a famous saying. Still doesn't make it necessarily true or less psychopathic.
Hot damn!
You just keep trying to subjugate that hero, Mao. That always ends really well for you.
Reeeeaaal well for us veiwers. mmmmm
zactly.
I think this just flipped from shounen ai to yaoi.
u re right, i can't wait for the tags got flipped.... y no updates T^T
Stray cat has more sense than the brothers.
Right. Those stupid bros are used to be self-centered as an elite.
Shingo is an orphan, deep down he yearns for a family,
so he treasures Keiichi's family for him too.
Aoi Aki's imagination blows me away. How does she dream up these mysterious people with their odd abilities and, yet, make them so human? And the art is always so delicate and beautiful. It's always a pleasure to read her stories.
Yep. I wonder about that too: when do authors dream about these wonderlands :,)) while sleeping? Waiting for the train? Sitting at a café? Haha
There is always something really fresh and unpredictable about them, though, which elevates them beyond the usual fantasy stuff out there — most of which is more like fanfiction, aping different tropes that have already been explored. So, yeah, where do they get their ideas?
(*=*) ***nod nod -you know, i personally have come up with some awesome ideas while sitting on the toilet (constipated, wishing for the best) LOL :))
LOL (may you never discover psyllium husks then.)
bwah hahahaha!!! :')) now that is funny! i was thinking, you know, world peace, combating world hunger, creating a better society, legalizing gay marriage, minimizing street violence (heck! i should be a politician! nah) -BUT, most importantly, finding the best and easiest way to learn Japanese so i can translate Saezuru LOL XD
Ambitious! I would be happy with a nice piece of soft, homemade gingerbread (the kind with molasses in it) and an extra ladle of gravy on my mashed potatoes.
:-L... with a glass of rum on rocks (OMG i absolutely love mashed potatoes with extra gravy on 'em). next to a fireplace. while petting Evangelina (dove). wearing a poncho. and listening to Bob Marley. you're right, world peace doesn't seem so important anymore :)) LOL aaahh so marvelous! the good stuff is on the little things
Maybe it's the secret of world peace, for those who don't have to work every day.
Poor Aoi Aki's thread has been totally hijacked by hopes for a happy Christmas, but at least she's not being relegated to the loo anymore.
Best wishes for the season, MOI?.
to you too, my friend (*^*)/
Wow, that front page, with the two opposing pictures!
Almost forgot about that after the tongue scene, though.
Early Christmas present, thank you!
(Is there some significance to kendama? What is that?)
Other than it being a traditional toy that every japanese should know of (that's why Shouji was like "lol this kid doesn't even know kendama), i don't think there's any particular significance....
It's this toys name. http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/hakuyou_ayakashi_gatari/sa/sa-c002/5/
Oh, that's kendama. Learn something new everyday, and now the comment makes total sense. Thanks!
Thanks for linking the picture. Now the comment makes total sense. Also, Shouji has a real project on his hands — not that it looks beyond him.
Ur welcome :)
This is turning out to be a lot cuter than I expected. Thank you for the update!
The second story had so many interesting possibilities. The bitterness and hyper-competitiveness/arrogance of the rich president felt very realistic, and the backstory of betrayal was a real heart-grabber, even if his reactions to being mocked were not, and the rest of the story suffered as a result. It would've been great to see this story developed with the same care and attention as the initial set-up, and with less reactive emotional content. I would've loved to see a plausible trust and love develop between the two men.
Exactly what I was thinking about it. It had potential to be a real interesting manga on it's own. I would like to have more on why he was buying the stock and what was going to happen after. The hotel key at the end suggested something shady, which I would have loved to seen more on.
Right. How does his company manage to get bought out without him knowing anything about the pirate? And he loses his social composure far too easily, especially for someone who isn't under any noticeable pressure.
Although it may be interesting to compare the story as is against the story that I wish I could have read, that's futile. It's just that Fujikawa Ruri does this a lot with her stories, I find — pushes them past credibility.
If you remember there was talk about yakuza type companies and how some business would make his stock rise. But still, you would think he'd know someone was buying up the stock. The business world has a real hard time keeping that type of stuff quiet here in the States.
