Latest purchases--
--Just a late evening post to brag about my last manga acquisitions...
There's not even much to brag, considering how many people on my f-list reads those XD
SHIGURUI #14 - FINALLY IT'S OUT. I'm also moved 'cause it looks like last volume will be released on May. I'm shocked. Just after one month? Probably the world will end on May, then :/
Anyway! In this volume Mie finally falls in love with Gennosuke and Gennosuke got to find a way to defeat Irako while in a coma due to a sudden attack of fever.
Irako saves a poor little girl and as he executed the bitches who laughed at the poor thing, we're still shown the basic paradox of Irako's wish: to become a samurai and to be recognized as one, despite his hate for samurai... Speaking of samurai, Tadanaga is plotting some riot against his bro Iemitsu to become the next shogun and asks Masamune Date to join him. TADANAGA IS NOT AMUSED BY THE REST OF THE VOLUME.
In this volume there's the bit about Irako bringing the carbonized head of the "honorable monkey" to Gennosuke as an ultimate medication for his sickness.
Why do you think he did? Was he mocking his arch-rival? Was he trying to look considerate to Mie or his high-ups? --That was Tadanaga's precious gift, after all! ..And the fact that Gennosuke "revived" to eat it so passionately looked so-- I don't know, everything looked SO EROTIC and SEXUAL D: ...
MUGEN NO JUUNIN #26 - It's always embarassing to read a new volume after so much time (almost a year..?), 'cause I realize that I already forgot the most of the characters names and faces XD
After Shira's death, A sleeping Renzo is left to Tanpopo and Meguro's care, as Manji and Rin resumed their search for Anotsu.
The volume is all about the "Six Demons" pursuing the members of Ittoryu. While Ryo and Ban got trapped by Kashin in the forest, Abayama has to deal with a group of unnamed guys first, and with the magical return of Gichii and Hyakurin next! --GO HYAKURIIIIN ;o; !!!
I'm really sorry but I love Habaki. I really hope that he'll manage to kill Anotsu, LOL XD *is cruel*
And, and--! Ahah, at the beginning of the volume Rin is wondering about what future awaits Renzo, and she's a bit sad because she thinks that Shira was a "proper person" for him to stay with, 'cause Shira was resolute and honest despite the abominable personality, LOL. Manji wtf'ed her, telling that if that's so, instead of Shira, the best person who had to take care of him was probably Araya. --BUT I LIKE HOW RIN THINKS, LOL.
DAISAN NO KAGEMUSHA #1 - Oooh, I was so surprised to see this one in Italian!!! This is another manga based on Norio Nanjo's novels!
It's the story of Kyonosuke, a kagemusha (actually, the "third" one, as the title says) of a passionate and rough samurai, the young Yasutaka, lord of Mitaya's castle.
Kyonosuke is trained to act and behave just like Yasutaka, and he's also trained to protect him.
All the kagemusha thinks that it's a pretty nice life, after all, but things change when Yasutaka is wounded on the battlefield and he loses his left eye-- Also his kagemusha are now expected to get the same wound!
One of them refuses and is killed as a traitor-- Kyonosuke and the other guy then, accept the wound as a "honor", since they get to feel the same pain as their lord, but the truth is far away from the pretty words.
Horribly disfigured, Kyonosuke wonders about how things will develop from now on-- A political marriage with Teru-hime, the daughter of one of Yasutaka's allies..?
What made me LOL (and blush) is the fact that Yasutaka's first appearance shows him in all his fiery manliness while practicing some archery. Archery was the favourite art practiced by Nobunaga, and we know what Norio thinks of him (let's just mention the fact that Tadanaga from "Shigurui" is often compared to Nobunaga, personality-wise)... It made me smile 'cause modern archery doesn't look like something for a brute, but a noble art destined to bishounen of the serious, composed kind..?

WHAT
Rin, are you fucking BATSHIT INSANE?!
Shira raped and beat up and dismembered people for kicks and abused Renzo in a multitude of ways, you crazy INSANE woman! You've witnessed first hand what the guy is like, what the hell is wrong with you?!
*huff huff huff*
Er, sorry, I just...really hate Shira. :P
Also I am super jealous they publish Shigurui in your country. :'x
no subject
Well, it's a bit where she wonders about taking care of Renzo herself, but she realizes that she couldn't right now, and she would probably betray and deceive him like she did last time (when she told him that Manji was dead) 'cause she's basically a weak and cowardly person... And that she would probably desert him again because of her guilty feelings.
On the contrary, despite the terrible personality and the lack of even a vague morality, Shira was always there for Renzo, he wouldn't have deserted him like she was going to do.
--T-That's kinda cute in my Shira/Renzo fangirl point of view XD
I like to think that's the reason why Renzo returned to Shira the night he died... And the way he kept comparing Manji and Shira, despite the horror for what he did to him, I can feel some attachment ;_; !
Oh yeah... They took something six months to release each volume >_>;;

If Gennosuke wasn't so strict with the samurai etiquette and Irako wasn't so full of himself they woul have shared some proper nakama loving XD
--But still, Gennosuke was totally devoted to Kogan, while Irako was totally devoted to his genius... There was no way to have them get along ;_;

Dae: I reread the parts we were talking about and you were right about everything! BUT! I'm not giving my final verdict until the last volume is out and I can read it all in one go u_u. Also, I'm planning a back-to-back re-reading wih the raws! It will be EPIC
And it will take me weeks. But they will be delicious weeks!no subject
About the discussion on the ending-- I'm still convinced of Mie killing herself because she had a deja-vu about Gennosuke's weakness to hierarchical power (samurai forcing him to cut Irako's head -> Kogan forcing him to block Mie for the upcoming smexing)... Basically Nanjo's philosophy is that it's wrong to obey people just because they're high-ranked to you in society, and when you do, only misery and madness awaits you...

I MUST ADD PICTURES TO THIS POST D:
WHY IS THIS COMMENT ALL CAPSLOCK
YOU SHOULD. ONE EYED MEN ARE SEXY.

Because it looks like, according to Nanjo, archery is a synonym of bruteness XD --But we fangirls know that it's moe and all the characters who practice it have a pretty soul!
(XD)
no subject
(the scene where he is half naked, we find out in the next episode, is because he's practising archery :DDD)
...Seriously, though, why does Nanjo think it's for brutes?
Maybe because it isn't as noble as using a sword? What with shooting from a long distance and not getting to gaze into your enemy's eyes and all that jazz... /makes it up
no subject
I don't know... I think it's because, compared to the swordmanship, archery is considered a more "aristocratic" hobby-- AND BECAUSE NOBUNAGA LOVED IT, LOL XD

Since inside the tea room you were technically equals, it was used by samurai/daimyou to get convenient back-up with the merchants/rich people, it was a very good excuse for bribing and political scheming. Also to threaten your enemy scaring them a bit more than with a letter...
I think this is why NobuNobu and his peers were big fans of tea ceremony!
