Yet another manga for me to fall for...
Meeeep. I started on volume 4 (yes, I gobbled them) of Her Majesty’s Dog and it’s official. HMD is LOVE. Total love.
HMD is an 11 volume manga about (and I quote) In today’s world of computers and cell phones, few people have time for superstition and ghost stories-but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t real! Amane Kamori might be a high school ( Read more... )

I ADORE the flashback...absolutely adore...chibi amane is just so insanely cute(and I like Hyoue when he's not dressed like a modern teen) I know what you mean about the human bit...but a large part of that is that, really, he only exists to protect Amane(well, his current master...but he's so picky about his masters that it may as well be the case)
And WOOT! to Platinum Garden(we haven't seen much of them yet, but I think THAT family matches the Sohmas in evil)
But, POKEMON!!!!!! That's like, the kind of mistake you never admit to and hope no one ever notices. Not that you post so that it can be used to torment you for all eternity. *innocence*

But that's the thing, he doesn't really. I mean he does, voluntarily, but he could sit in that tree forever blah blah (as you point out he is immensely picky) and wanting to change his nature isn't bad or anything. He has a right to wish just as anyone does.
I just finished vol 6 yesterday...there is far more angst headed your way...far, far more...
Nooooo! The thing is, the angst in absolute terms here isn't backbreakingly themost awful thing ever yet (not like Fruits Basket or Ceres) but it's huge in that I love the characters and don't want them to suffer.
Ironically, I started this and was all 'ooooh, funny and light, good counterbalance to other angsty stuff.' Heh.
Platinum Garden(we haven't seen much of them yet, but I think THAT family matches the Sohmas in evil)I am only one volume in, so not sure about the extent of their evilness but I will not that doing the whole 'here, Mizuki, we want some cash, so how about you bring the dead back despite the fact that it's going to make you ( ... )

Don't worry, the angst isn't unbearable, but it's there. And really at least half the angst is our not wanting angst.
Have I told you how they trained Mizuki in raising the dead? evilevilevil.

I was just rummaging through oyur lj for more PG stuff and yeah, I just came across that.
*stabs with a fork*
UGH. I hope they all die in a giant fire. No wonder he is so freaking standoffish and odd.
Oh, I agree that he doesn't just exist for that, but they have issues seeing Hyoue and co as anything but that capacity.
Agreed. That's what bugs me about it. It's sort of the house-elf thing only writ large and as if the whole lot of them were Barty Crouches.
Re: angst. Yeah, I know it's not unbearable but as you put it 'it's not wanting angst' because Hyoue and Amane are such adorable darlings and I totally just want to protect them and similar.

Re: Pokemon. Apparently, And trust me, it's impossible to make me feel bad about that stuff. Plus, I exchanged it :)

And I've been reading the scans for Platinum Garden for a while now, too. I think I've reached somewhere in Volume 6. I can't picture Pi as that type of megane character either. But it's an excellent story.
