Futakoi Alternative and Zettai Shounen

( Futakoi Alternative. I'm up to episode 7, but this is general commentary. )

( Zettai Shounen 1-3 )

Saiyuki

Aaaaaand, volume 5 continues the fun. The first half, anyway. The second half is back in the present time, which is somewhat less gripping to me than Hakkai's incredibly tragic backstory, but since they took a full volume and a half to explore that, I can hardly complain.

To quote Goku, "Hakkai! Hakkai! Hakkai! Hakkai! Hakkai! Hakkai!" ^_^

When I was following the html road through LJ yesterday, I saw someone trying to convince someone else--velvet_mace, I think--that yes, Saiyuki was the best thing since sliced bread, and she was saying that Saiyuki was total fanservice when it came to bondage and so forth. My feeling is that you could easily whittle that down to "Saiyuki is total fanservice." ( Vaguely spoilery if you know nothing about Saiyuki at all. )

( Food unrelated to fandom. )
