hikaru no go

[cimorene]

so... early evidence suggests hikaru no go is completely awesome. i don't feel extremely coherent about it yet, but i do feel extremely impressed with the slashiness. for a while this afternoon i was feeling, kind of dizzily, that maybe all anime and manga is gay! and then i remembered that my sample is somewhat biased since i came to it from, you know, inside slash fandom. it is really pretty angsty - at least at this point. i keep alternating between giggles, warm squishy feelings, and the faint but distinct far-off creaking sound of my heart sloooowly cracking (*crick!*). but... ♥♥♥ oh! and also, mitani looks like a baby atobe.

I am just gorging myself on that too! It's fun, and the subtext seems to be spilling out all over. Sooo slashy!

yes! i find slashiness so inherently fun that i haven't actually spent that long gibbering over the angst at all. in fact, it tends to make the angst cute to me that they're so intense.

i have been considering seeking some of those manga you and daegaer are into so i could be in the same fandoms as you again but maybe now i won't have to! i wonder if there even is a[n english-speaking] fandom. i am determined not to look until i either watch all the anime or read all the scanlated manga i can find.

Ha! That is just what I thought too when I saw you were reading Hakiru no Go. Yay! A fandom we can share. Although I would love it if you read Saiyuki. I can send you the scans and everything. *tries not to beg too hard*

Anyway, I've read up to vol 16 of the manga now, which is chap 139. Touya keeps thinking things like 'Shindo, come to me!' and there is much angst. Also, Ogata is getting pretty hot.

ps, I don't suppose you've got vol 17 scans have you, as it's the only one I'm missing?
