mommy, make the hurting stop
Aug. 29th, 2006 01:02 pmSomeone arrest CLAMP for manslaughter, because rereading Tokyo Babylon is fucking killing me.
Surely, I must have read vol. 4 back before we got the dog, because I didn't remember that there was an inugami in it. ;_;
...
Manga explorations of the week include So-Young Lee's Model, which has nice art, and I liked for about half the prologue, while the vampire was lying dead-drunk in Jae's apartment, and she was sketching him. I love stories set in the apartments of impoverished students (yay Honey and Clover!)! Unfortunately, the vampire woke up, and it all pretty much went downhill from there. I hate everybody except Jae, I was annoyed that the setting switched from Jae's apartment to the generic Ginormous Gothic Estate With Bats, and I don't really like vampire stories anyway.
It did remind me that I want to order more volumes of Lament of the Lamb, which is a vampire story set in a Japanese high school, and has a sort of spare atmosphere and a dark, sketchy art style that makes my toes wriggle in glee, especially the gorgeous painted covers.
Other ventures: Yakitate Japan!--yes, that's the manga about competitive bread making, and it's every bit as fun as people kept telling me it was--and Omukae Desu, which is a loose, light, and very low-key comedy about shinigami in bunny suits which I will happily buy for whatever the length of its run. And other stuff I don't feel like mentioning here.
