FYI, chapters 16-20 were just scanlated. Good thing I didn't start on any of those banner requests yet, eh?
WHY KAT LOVES DOGS:
1) Gorgeously violent in detail (see pics below). Blood and blades and guns. Dark and angsty and vulgar and OMGHAVEYOUSEENTHEIRHAIR?!
2) NAOTO. The only female anime/manga character I have ever liked entirely because of who she was and not who she was attached to. Ever had something akin to a girl crush on (hence her reign as my LJ layout for almost 2 years now). Hair, attitude, ANGST -- seriously, if Sasuke had been born a girl, he'd have been Naoto.
3) HAINE. OMGHELLO hair crush! If this was ever made into a live action movie, I don't know who could possibly live up to Haine's hair + psycho-sexy-angstyness. Actually, I cry at the thought.
4) 'Bib brother, play with us!' -- OK, the twins are growing on me. I will not deny their part in bringing more Haine/Naoto interaction. And HELLO berserker!Haine literally drooling over broody warrior!Naoto. I TELL YOU MY SIMS HAS FORESEEN THIS -- they shall copulate, and they shall have a gorgeously dark and sexy and super strong invincible son with supernaturally beautiful hair and his name shall be SASUKE. *nods wisely*
Anyway -- Miwa Shirow's DOGS. READ IT.
[Volume 1: Original] [Volume 2 - Bullets and Carnage: 1-17] [18-20 torrents]
MY FAVOURITE SERIES OF ALL TIME.
... until SASUKE Naruto comes out tomorrow, anyway. LOL, because lets face it, eventually my mind always wanders back to Sasuke. XD
