[SCANS] Random Canon Tender Moment and more
I cannot scream loud enough how sweet and perfect this family scene is...
Bigger version here
Some months ago I got my hands on the PoT 2004 year Calendar, second hand, in Mandarake. I had always wanted to have it, because it has priceless moments like the Silver Pair and Bronze Pair having lunch on a hill (one of my favorite PoT pics), the angry 2nd years fight, the sweet snow fight, the nap on the roof, Tezuka being harassed meaningfully followed by Atobe, Tachibana and Sengoku, and this summer scene, in which one cannot forget Oshitari's ponytail (context here)
But the 2006 PoT Desk Calendar is worth being kept an eye upon. I had been fairly bored about it these past months, with little more than a couple of pics to get me through the weeks, ignoring the rest. But summer came and everything became HOTTER. You don't believe me?
Important Note: I am posting this pages IN THE SAME ORDER they are in the calendar. I haven't changed any of them. The order *is* important.
It was the end of May, and after a picture of Oji from Rokkaku, I got Sanada for his birthday:
The Emperor, Sanada Genichiro
Then came the sweaty pair, Kaido and Momo, claiming that:
"It starts from now!"
And a provocative, sweaty Ryoma opens the hot month of June:
June starts with a glimpse of Inui's abs. Abs not ass, that was last summer, as my data say, and you know that...
"Data don't lie!"
To which the following week a full-eyed Renji replies:
"I wonder who it was that taught you data tennis!"
And Kaido, who can't help himself any longer, comes to aid his beloved senpai and claims that...
"We'll just make them shut up!"
I don't know if it'll be Kaido who will, or Sanada, with his supreme airs and those looks that kill everybody but Yukimura, darn!
風林火山 (Furinkazan) as fast as the wind, as quiet as the forest, as daring as fire, and immovable as the mountain
Gosh, it sounds like Arya Stark...
But you know that love always wins in the end, and in PoT, nothing represents LOVE better than the GP:
"When those two are together, they are fabulous!"
... who will decorate my microwave this week if I can force myself to relinquish that stunning Sanada...
July starts with a new character I can't care about yet (some Sakurai, saying "Kippei, you have become weaker"), but the opening, color page IS promising:
This character configuration is as deftly designed as ususal.
Momo and Kaido are staring at each other, provoking (whether for a fight or something else, I leave you to decide).
Tezuka and Oishi are speaking in their own private glace language, while Taka is sad because Kikumaru is sulking about Oishi and isn't paying attention to him, even though he went as far as to shave his hair on the neck to look like Oishi's.
Inui seems to be keeping an eye on what Momo and Kaido are doing and another on what Tezuka and Oishi are up to, whereas Fuji looks suspiciously at Ryoma, whose determined face can only mean he knows he'll have his way with Tezuka sooner or later, you just wait, bucho.
Do I need to repeat myself? Save, manipulate and use this scans at will, but do not make a direct link to them. Link to the whole post if you want.
