Oh, I just love it when Rat's trying to convince everybody - himself included - that he doesn't care about Shion when in reality, he would die to protect him, he loves Shion so much. That's why he keeps berating Shion because he's afraid something could happen to him. It's hard to write reviews for this manga because, having seen the anime, I know how it will continue and I don't want to spoil the upcoming volumes for anybody. But, gosh, Rat and Shion... *happy sigh*

I love this series. I'm unabashedly smitten with it and totally, blindly uncritical of it. Shion and Rat are very, very special to me. Their adventures, their relationship, their love for each other... it's all so beautiful. And the style! It's one of the best drawn mangas I've ever come across. I highly recommend it to everybody!

My favorite anime is now a manga! Man, I was so excited when I came across it in Amazon UK's shop! I love the setting, the adventures of Shion and Rat, the blossoming love between them. As I have said many times in the past, Shion and Rat remind me of X-Men's Charles and Erik, respectively. Shion is a child of privilege but so kind-hearted and willing to help anyone, he would give the shirt off his back to a person in need. Rat is a child of oppression, full of hate, disillusioned and determined to tear the world down, and yet he has a soft spot for Shion... Wonderful. Truly wonderful.

Amazon is telling me that the anime Night Head Genesis will be published in manga format, starting this November. And the mangaka? You Higuri! For real! My most favorite mangaka ever! That means beautiful, amazing drawings, detailed background, pretty, pretty boys... You Higuri equals must-buy for me! \o/

Also, according to Amazon.co.uk, "Gorgeous Carat L'Esperanza Vol. 1" by You Higuri comes out next month already? For real? *dares to hope* "Gorgeous Carat" is the first manga that I ever bought - and my favorite manga still, yes, even after all the years. Floréan and Ray - or Florian and Rey in English - and their adventures, stealing jewels, hunting treasures, fighting against the gorgeous but devilish Azura... I need to re-read it soon!

I just finished reading Marimo Ragawa's manga series called "New York, New York" (4 volumes) and...

My spoilery reaction... )

And now, I picked up Piers Anthony's "On a Pale Horse", the first part of his "Incarnations of Immortality". Hm, sounds interesting...
