all I want for Christmas is a subscription to Shoujo Beat

Saturday has me standing in the manga section, after work, mulling over whether to buy Rurouni Kenshin v. 1 now that we finally have it back in stock, flipping through the translator's notes and suddenly realizing that the bad guys in this are the Shinsengumi, and Kaze Hikaru is about the Shinsengumi, and they were on the wrong side of history, and oh, oh, this is going to hurt.

I did not buy Rurouni Kenshin.

O Kaze Hikaru, my not-so fluffy shoujo love. Plz dun break my heart.



In other news, I did not write two poems when I went for a walk up in Rockland Woods, but I was eaten alive by mosquitos.

I'll read Kenshin someday. Maybe even in the foreseeable future! I was just in too much shock to be able to bring myself to buy it that day. Let me adjust to that fact that my new favorite manga is probably going to end in horrific personal and political catastrophe for the extremely likable protagonists, and I'll be right as rain unless I'm over there in the corner sobbing my heart out.

He looks like a goth Goku.
