Long Gushing Yami no Matsuei vol. 12 post

[kurenai_tenka]

Yes, I know I only just posted. Non-fans please ignore again!

Well, as I Said in my last post, the new issue (in which we expected just a few illustration changes) is a complete and utter redraw. And I'm shocked to say that I actually love it.

I LIKED THE WEIRD TECHNO TIGER.

[rubyd]

Also: ditto most of what you said

[kurenai_tenka]

I LIKED IT TOO It was just a bit different to what I was expecting XD

And I'm glad you agree! :D *spreads fangirlish joy*

[kurenai_tenka]

Also I was looking back at the originals and just noticed, what happened to Nagare's blindfold? I'm gunna be noticing stuff for days. D=

[ravenbell]

Waaugh. I never followed the manga, but I'm very, very happy that it's been resurrected in ANY form.

[kurenai_tenka]

You didn't? =O Or do you mean didn't keep up with updates? Cos there's not really been much to keep up with till now anyway...

And yes, a whole new volume of resurrection! I guess she still loves it after all? :P

*closes eyes as scrolls down post* Still downloading! 9 minutes left! Then I shall return and hopefully gush! And actually read the post instead of squeeing in anticipation in the comments!

OOH! 6 minutes! My download is speeding up!

[kurenai_tenka]

Hehe, I hope you'll be wanting to gush too! :D And don't worry, I left current download percentages everywhere. XD

Never before have I been so excited about a book I couldn't read.

[kurenai_tenka]

I'm a little embarrassed as to just how excited I was/continue to be.

Have you seen it yet or..?

[veleda_k]

Yep, and I pretty much agree with you. I can't say a whole lot, as I have a hard time paying attention when I can't understand the words.

All of the characters continue to look younger, but it's not as bad as it was in the Hana to Yume chapters, I think. Which is good, though I'm still nervous. I would really prefer it if my crush on Hisoka didn't cross the line into pedophilia due to change in drawing style. (But in terms of years he's actually older than I am, so it's okay, right? Right?)

[kurenai_tenka]

Umm.. potentially... though I think with the amount of years the manga currently spans you'd still be older. :P I know what you mean though, the older I get, the more awkward I feel seeing images like that, lol. Atleast he was mostly grown up to normal by the end of it? And even more so, atleast he isn't fugly like in a lot of the HtY chapters. And the sidestories were much worse for kiddyfying, good grief...

Poor you and your crush. I feel for you man!

[kurenai_tenka]

You could try here; http://www.sasugabooks.com/ though they don't seem to have it listed yet (understandably, it's only meant to be out um.. today I think?)
In fact, all the places I jsut checked fo you don't seem to have it... how odd.

I was thinking of ebay-ing it myself.

[astrokittie]

I can pick up two extra copies when I go get it. I'll probably be going on the 28th, or possibly earlier. I think it'd be like $7-8 for the volume (lol, Kinos markup. I'm not sure what they're charging for HtY stuff anymore, but last I checked it was about $6, so I imagine they've raised the price 'cause the dollar value shot straight to hell) and $3-4 for shipping within the us? So it'd probably be $11 or 12 for the whole thing.

Idk if that's cheaper or ebay or not, but if it's agreeable to you, just let me know and I'll grab an extra or two.

[kurenai_tenka]

I would jump on that, but I'm actually in the UK, not the US *drinks tea for enthasis*. Any chance of that or would the postage have to be astronomical?
