underloved manga part 1
Or at least, they seem underloved. Then again, I think Kekkaishi gets a lot of love (right?), but pretty much no fandom. So maybe everybody already loves these and I haven't noticed.
(It's secretly just an excuse to babble about them anyway.) :D

Every single thing I learn about Japan makes it seem more fantastically wtf.
So in the case of both censorship and gambling for money, it sounds like the point isn't what's really happening; the point is what APPEARS to be happening. Yes? So long as it looks good, it's okay.
Looks good for whose benefit, though? o_O
Thank you for telling me about the gambling. That is my happy thought for the day, possibly for life. And it makes me want to go back to Japan and gamble so as to have a random prize to remember it by. :D
You don't like the Korean art style? I...I kind of love it. It's got these nice, clean lines. It is different, though. Maybe you'll get used to it. I often get to like art styles I initially hated if I like the story enough.
...Then again, maybe not. :) Worth a try!
But you'll have to tell me what you think of Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service. :D It's a lot of fun. Strangely.
(You are so brave. 9 volumes of MPD Psycho. WOW. I keep meaning to pick it up again, but...yikes.)

I actually started reading it because of that Gangan cover that had Ed and Maka on the front, and was hilarious. The best thing about it must be the way all the meister/weapon pairs really work. Somehow. Each in their own strange, strange way.
"Well, but Black Star is always stupid. I like him that way. It's kind of our style." YAY, TSUBAKI. And Black Star. I never thought I would love him as much as I do. <3 ( ... )

its so great to find somebody else who is there! i have just finished reading the available manga chapters to swing back to the anime (I can say till at least episode 30 its very, very faithful to the manga) and just wanted to share my joy
my liking of black star was a little abated in the middle, but his come-back was super cool...the only thing is he steals screen-time away from Soul!!! Even if I enjoy the story a part of my subconciousness still always thinks "well thats all nice and good, but can I see more soul now?"
He is super great (I wanna see more of his childhood! i wanna see how maka met up with him!) I love that even though he technically stars as the male lead in a shonen manga, he is absolutely supportive and understanding towards maka (he is, in many ways, more adult) who is kickass and physically stronger than him, which he totally acknowledges!! That is so much balm for more battered feminist soul. Like, yes she is not as strong ( ... )

uhh now you have me checking your journal compulsively because time-zones confuse me....and I never know when friday evening comes for you even though I know logically that it will be saturday afternoon by that time probably...bleh
im sure I'll love it you haven't written anything I was disappointed till now^^
(but what about that finder fic? ever going to see the light of day?^^)
i know flashbacks are uncool (totally hearted that scene in the manga when black star says that nobody is interested in stupid flashbacks...you go!) but i wanna see~~ how they all met and how the whole teamsorting actually works...*grumble*
i thought soul eater is serilazed monthly...or is it weekly (i would be absolutely down with that!)
oh and i totally understand what you mean with the cop-turned-social-worker in kurosagi! he is awesome! dressed like a thug and I second the whole "thank god I'm not dependend on them" thought of ( ... )

...*dazed with exhaustion*...
The Finder fic will see the light of day! Um, when my beta is done with it. And, to be fair, she is sick. Also I made her learn all of Soul Eater canon to beta that fic. ...Soon, though. Soonish. ^_^
Soul Eater is monthly--in Gangan. Which comes out on...eh...the middle of the month some time. I think. :D
Okay! Bed, yay.
