Actually read some the other night.
First Fumi Yoshinaga's Don't Say Anymore, Darling.
Which reinforced my previous idea of what this mangaka does, which is that their work is oh so good but, unfortunately, occasionally quite HEARTBREAKING.
Haven't read enough to say for sure, but this collection certainly was both. ;_;
Well, to be fair the first story had a good old traditional happy ending (is that a spoiler :3), and the last (which had my fave main character btw *commiserates with MY ART IS PHAIL OMG ;_; feelings, and also the NO ONE WANTS ME feelings. :9*) was sort of ~~frustrating D:~~...hopeful?
If not romantically, at least no one died? XP

Then I was feeling all twitchy because of the TRAGIC and decided to read Saiyuki Reload vol.9, since I figured it couldn't make me feel any less inclined to sleep at that point.

Let's see...Nii was just horrible, poor Hazel. That thing with the flower was especially appalling. Just not fair to manipulate easilly influenced kids like that... :<

Not to even talk about the fight with Sanzo, which was obviously epic.
...how had I totally missed before he told Sanzo who his biological parents were? =_=;
Gato being reasonable was pretty cool, and talking about cool...GOKU~~! ♥
Seriously, he was just too awesome. ¤_¤
Got to go to bed all gleeful after that ^__^

Read the equally epic extra earlier already (certain someone might remember the running commentary :9)
Especially ~~slashy~~ amusing points:
- The anon. girls: "waah, muscles! ♥" and Goku going "Yup, agree."...ahaha. ~~Stop it, you're making Sanzo feel inadequate :9~~
- Sanzo looking so excited to join the competition. Obviously enjoying himself there :D *shot*
- Gojyo and Hakkai's fight was...soooo much flirt there guys.
and and
Hakkai: "Oh, you'll do me the favor of making me cry? In that case I'll look forward to it."
~~there's a line straight from a bad yaoi pronz, yes?~~
XD...I officially have a dirty mind :3
- Sanzo's SNEAKY win. lulz
- And then Sanzo and Hakkai were sneaky together. B-but, we didn't get to see them fight, woe. ;_;

And, yup. Fun tiems. :3
Oh, except one more thing. That picture of Ukoku/whoever on last page after the main story is disturbingly cute o_o; ...are those freckles on his nose or a mistake in printing? o_O

Decisions~ >3>)
