So, has Urasawa written anything that WOULDN'T give me nightmares?

[xxlithiumflower]

So I'm a little over halfway through Monster, and, man. Man. Why are you such a good storyteller, Urasawa Naoki?! For the last 100+ chapters, this is me:

TENMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...!

DIETERRRRRRRRRRRRRR...!

GRIMMERRRRRRRRRRRRR...!

TENMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...!Those three. Just. What. Especially whenever Dieter says, "I'm fine. I've got Tenma!"

AHAHAHAHAHA! DIDN'T I TELL YOU? BEST MANGA EVER. I fucking loved Johan. Have you gotten to the, um, spoilery bit of awesome evilness that is SO VERY JAPAN? I laughed, then I huddled deeply in my blankets so he wouldn't come after me with charming smiles and mindrape powers.

Tenma definitely gets hotter the more his morals slip, by the way.

IT'S SO AWESOME. IT'S LIKE THE BEST MANGA EVER, WHAT.

...EXCEPT I STILL LIKE 20TH CENTURY BOYS BETTER. (REEEEEEEAD ITTTTTT.)

I'm not sure? If you mean the part when he sends Milosh off to find out his mom's a whore, then OMG JOHAN THAT'S EVIL EVEN FOR YOU. If you mean something else, then no, I'm probably not there yet. Or maybe I am and I'm just too submerged in black-and-grey morality to tell what's worse than what. *_*

AM I SUPPOSED TO BE HAVING NIGHTMARES ABOUT THE MONSTER WITH NO NAME?

[darkeyedwolf]

IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I MEAN, YOU'RE NOT THERE YET. Trust me. You'll know. XD I will totally get on 20th Century Boys, and Skip Beat too. So much Asian entertainment, so much sleep deprivation waiting to happen...

[xxlithiumflower]

All right, I'll take your word on it! (The thing with Milosh was really douschey, though.)

SAVING THE WORLD WITH ROCK AND ROLL. TRANSVESTITE HOOKERS WITH HEARTS OF GOLD. EVIL GIANT ROBOTS. HEARTWRENCHING DEATHS, NOT ALL OF WHICH ARE PERMINANT. KICKASS WOMEN. CREEPY OLD MEN. OTCHO, WHO DEFIES DESCRIPTION AND MUST BE SEEN TO BE BELIEVED. And all of it's COMPLETELY PLAUSABLE.

...YEAH WELL KALAN PORTER IS WHAT ARAKI WOULD LOOK LIKE IF HE HAD MESSIER AND LONGER HAIR.

guuuuuuuuuh.

Kalan Porter and Trent Reznor. YOU KNOW HOW TO TURN A GIRL STRAIGHT. FFFFFFF

And Trent Reznor = American, rockstar Sanada. TRU FAX.

[xxlithiumflower]

THAT'S. A SURPRISINGLY DISTURBING THOUGHT.

And Kalan Porter - talent and looks = me. Go on, read this and tell me I'm wrong.

LOOOOL OH MY GOD

His most recent post is a LOT like one or two of yours. XDDD

Minus the "with my car". 'Cause you don't have a car. ...With you, at least.

AND COME ON, WOULDN'T ARAKI MAKE A FINE JAPANESE KALAN PORTER IMPERSONATOR? HE COULD LIP SYNC AND EVERYTHING!

[xxlithiumflower]

He describes Bruce Springsteen's voice as sounding "like sadness". I read that to my mother and she was like, "OH MY GOD HE'S YOU."

alskdhg I don't really see Araki rockin' the blond ringlets.
