P.S. Clamp, I still hate you
Manga reading spree still going on.
Finished:
-Prince of Tennis 9
-Prince of Tennis 10
-Prince of Tennis 11
-Prince of Tennis 12
-XXXholic 1
Goals:
-Her Majesty's Dog 2
-Godchild
-Shaman King 9 (as soon as I remember where I put it)
-La Esperanza 2
-At least one yaoi manga.
Here is Greenwood will be delayed for later this week since I can't remember where I left off. Possibly also Fullmetal Alchemist because I hear the storyline is quite nifty once it gets going, although I'd probably enjoy it much more if certain people hadn't SPOILED IT HORRIBLY FOR ME IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A WARNING. Thanks, guys. Thanks. Not *everyone* reads Fullmetal Alchemist manga. Just like not *everyone* watches Bleach. Warnings are our friends.
As far as XXXholic goes, I like XXXholic. I like the characters. Seeing the storyline in the anime was enough to encourage me to get the manga, and I intend to buy a chunk of it at Otakon. I'd watch the anime but I have enough trouble remembering to watch anime I love and XXXholic was more of an anime "interest." That said, I hate having Legal Drug characters in cameo. I hate having Subaru and Hokuto mentioned. I hate having Tsubasa crossover with XXXholic within the first volume. I don't like cameos of unfinished series tossed in for the sake of pandering. Clamp school in X wasn't so bad because Clamp school was finished. The Subaru and Hokuto thing should fall under the same rule but it's too much of a watered-down version of X pandering for me to cut it any slack. CCS reference I will also allow since CCS is finished. But no more unfinished crossovers. And crossing over Tsubasa with XXXholic when they were both just getting started is lame on so many levels. Tsubasa can be the masturbatory paradise for the Clamp ladies. I want to enjoy XXXholic as XXXholic and not be reminded of the series I only vaguely tolerate because it's the only smidgeon of X I'm any longer allowed. I will be buying XXXholic despite my irritation and unending vendetta with Clamp. I will not, however, pretend that I harbor any less resentment toward them than I ever did. And I reserve the right to bitch about them as much as I wish throughout my continued patronage. It's a sick twisted twisted love I have for them, and that's that.
