doopdoop, this is Daisy aka your friendly neighborhood pirate doctor reindeer (
doublehats), taking a shot at bringing in a second character! This mysterious handsome stranger is Minagawa Hifumi, from an itty-bitty obscure series called
Cafe Kichijouji de. It was originally a rather popular drama CD series that was then adapted into a three-volume manga. There's also a live-action drama but I refuse to acknowledge its existence. :I However, Minagawa is strictly manga-verse only.
Now, who is this guy? He's a skilled chef of a small cafe, a loving cat owner and... kind of really digs the occult/black magic/dark arts/anything that exists in the world that is absolutely horrid and morbid and would bring chills to a normal human being's spine. BUT DON'T WORRY. He's safe.
Seriously, Minagawa is
so totally safe. :>
For anyone familiar with the series (?!), his loss is his memories of his pet cat Sukekiyo. And for anyone not familiar,
MAKE YOURSELF FAMILIAR. Scanlations were unfortunately dropped before volume 3 so as far as I know, you can only read up to the end of volume 2 online. Also, there's actually a
fourth volume that hasn't been released in the US, but I happen to own a copy so I'll be including some canon information from there as well (for example, Minagawa needs to stay indoors when it rains, because rain makes
this happen).
this was so much canon-whoring i am so sorry IS IT OBVIOUS ENOUGH YET THAT I LOVE THIS MANGA? /)A(\
