Reply to this meme by typing "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.
DNAngel: The first shoujo manga I read since Cardcaptor Sakura and there was a gap of 4 years, mind you. I loved it due to my fetish for wings due to the Maximum Ride novels and also due to the romance too. And the fact that there are two winged bishounen who look damn good in anything especially when crossdressing. On that, I'm currently drawing Dark and Krad as Alice and Will of the Abyss from Pandora Hearts because the 'black and white theme' fits. Currently I'm still frustrated with Sugisaki-sensei's hiatus. I hope she comes back before other shoujo series that I'm reading (examples are Monochrome Factor and Shugo Chara) finish.
Krad: The most misunderstood character of DNAngel. Mostly because of the stupid anime which ruined him. Most people don't like him because he fights with Dark and tortures Satoshi. But remember that people are born good, so there must be a reason Krad became evil. To sum it in one sentence, he needs more love. Look at Dark, despite his state as a curse and everything, the Niwas treat him well, are concerned about him. In return, Dark also helps his tamer whenever possible, despite having an attitude problem. However, the Hikaris shun Krad, treat him like a parasitic presence and a curse. Because of this, Krad is lonely. And when even the only other presence similar to him aka Dark hates him, he is really pitiful. After all in volume 9, Krad says that he envies Daisuke. Until then, he needs more panels. D<
FMA: I read it after D.Gray-man because I heard that it's similar to DGM. My favourite character's Edward Elric, and I support Edward x Winry all the way. Even thought I might like BL couples of other series, but I can never stand those couples of FMA. Roy's too old for Edward, and Envy's technically Edward's half brother in the anime. Currently the story's in the climax, and I'd really love to see the climax end nicely. Especially I want Alphonse to get his body back, and a Edward x Winry last page.And a Harry Potter-ish epilouge. just joking. Still didn't like the way Envy commited suicide but oh well... FMA ftw and Edward should get a happy ending because he deserves it like totally.
Chinese language: It's my second language (because I'm Chinese) and quite troublesome compared to English. So many strokes, but I suppose that's the beauty of it. But recently I've been thankful that I can read and understand it due to the unavailability of Japanese manga raws and availibility of very HD Chinese scanlations on the internet for series like Ouran High Host Club (chapter 72's coming soon), Monochrome Factor (Just read 41), Kingdom Hearts II (I feel sorry for Axel in chapter 37), Pandora Hearts (Even if Gil is called as 小基 which sounds just like 小鸡 which means chick as in the baby chicken and I crack up because of this) Although it's in traditional Chinese which is much more complicated than the simplified Chinese I'm used to, at least I can understand it and I'm happy. Still a pain to read it still...and I'm dying for the next Ouran High chapter 8D
manga: I read it because of the kawaii-ness aka big-eyed-ness of it. And also because it has epic plots and characters. First seires was Cardcaptor Sakura, first series that I was reallt obsessed with was Death Note. Because of this, I also learnt some mediocre Japanese enough to read some raws although mostly I still look at the kanji which are the Chinese looking characters and cheat in the process. Currently I'm still more biased towards shounen manga because I can't stand shoujo manga unless it has an excellent plot that involves action and fighting like Shugo Chara, DNAngel and Monochrome Factor due to too much fluff. One exception is Ouran High. But that's because of Tamaki and Haruhi. Now I'm most obsessed with Pandora Hearts because of the Alice in Wonderland theme, gothic Victorian-ness, cute protagonist and his erm...ancestor. Chapter 38 was epic win especially Gilbert's past. Damnit, I'm starting to ship Jack x Gilbert and Jack x Vincent... But who is that mysterious woman on the last page? (O_o)
