Cut that out, Imuri.

Imuri! I'm only on, like, your first chapter! And you are apparently mainly about teenagers at an evil boarding school, which is not actually a complicated premise! Do not make me go to your glossary to figure out what's going on! And you probably don't need those huge expository lumps every couple pages ( Read more... )

Kamu on. Kamu on, Toshi! Kamu on. Apparently space-teenagers speak English. Sort of.

I'm going through things in my mind she could be singing, and besides that I think of "Accidentally in Love" by Counting Crows. (?)

Additionally: the art is gorgeous. I'd also keep reading it anyway.

All of my crushes before age 11 were on Star Trek characters (Spock, Riker, Data, etc). Despite that I think the leather pants would have been over my head. I've never been able to see leather pants as anything other than funny.

The "Come on!" page is actually from The Calling, an entirely different pretty manga that abuses furigana. (It's an adaptation of The Forgotten Beasts of Eld, by Patricia McKillip.)

I always wanted to hit Riker for some reason; it probably has to do with the way he ends up acting in the licensed novels like that one. The creepier male writers always ended up writing stuff about him creepily picking up alien girls.

I also thought Whoopie Goldberg's character Guinan was secretly in charge of the ship, and I think I actually had a notebook with some fanfic assuming this in grade school. Again, this might be an idea I picked up from the licensed novels, where she shows up a lot more regularly than she did in the show.
