RL, manga I've read recently

[stalkerbunny]

Let's get the RL stuff out of the way first.
Summerjob, stages:
1. Felt relieved that no disaster was for once on the horizon.
2. 8 hours every weekday for five weeks started to seem a long time when my legs started aching. Also, I imagined people were looking at me funny (as in, lookit the dirty cleaning lady) *paranoid* Wailing a bit at home helped, thought.
3. I'm thinking the legs must get used to it eventually. Hopefully then my arms don't get sore, but eh...my brother made me a MP3 file with lot's of new songs which also helped make the work more bearable

My parents and younger sisters left today to visit my mother's parents. So myself and the brother are keeping the house. I have to do two difficult things. 1)Remember to keep my sisters paprika plants alive and 2)Wake up for work. Dreaaad~ D:
It was fun to go shopping and try to find cheap things that would last for a few days. I was especially pleased to find cheap steaks :D since I was pretty hungry
Had to call to my mom for instructions for cooking then, but it went okay.


A Midsummer Night's Dream in pseudomanga format...was okay. That play has always left me a bit confused. Too many characters at cross purposes, no matter how on purpose that probably is :P.
Still, purty art was nice.

Then there was Sword by Sanami Matou, who you might know for Fake. Series is set in something like ancient Japan, and it's about a youkai hunter (karinin) called Asagi. Then he meets a half-youkai and her youkai father who's currently in miniatyre form. Wont spoil it all for you.
The father, Kurenai, is pretty hot. So's his miko wife as well, for that matter. They're an attractive couple, I guess ;P
Nothing special, but I'd read more, if only for the yummy art. It all reminds me rather of Inuyasha, really...

And then, of course, I read Saiyuki Reload 8.
Great volume, but very heartbreaking. (Had trouble falling asleep after reading it, actually)
Oh, Goku ;_; ♥
So, we're never told the name of the girl then? That's fitting to the tragedy I suppose...
The youkai at the village as well...so sad all around. *sigh*
Was very vindicating to see Hazel get his own words fed back to him, and looks like they tasted a bit bitter, eh?
This also means, I'm afraid, that I have to officially cross out that git from my hated characters list. Since I now have a better reason than how cute he was as a kid.
And later, was he actually worried about Gato or am I seeing things? =_=.
EDIT: I forgot to mention how I totally fangirled Sanzo in this volume. He was so sharp, and for once most of all in the "really insightfull" way. (as opposed to the "really blunt and/or plain mean" way) ¤_¤
