*need more Cain*

Final manga update for the eve. All manga goals have been met. I will be tracking down the original twofive volumes of the Cain Saga at Otakon since I love Godchild dearly after this first volume. I have no idea how I will acquire translations. Perhaps, I shall beg. I love Kaori Yuki though. She's about as insane as all the mangaka out there but she is actually *good* at telling a story. I never understand how but she always manages to join plots and work in the usual elements without anything seeming contrived. And even if her penchant for incest does perturb me, she can portray very powerful, emotional relationships that almost transcend the limits of definitions of love or friendship. Back to Cain, I had no idea he was so young or how blatantly Yami no Matsuei ripped the Muraki/Tsuzuki relationship off the Doctor and Cain. I must say that Cain is ten times more gorgeous and alluring than Tsuzuki. I still like Tsuzuki though. He can be cute.

La Esperanca, you have failed me. What the hell was that thing you called a second volume? Hells. I don't even know if I want to dare pursue a third. I might resort to checking it out first in a store. Her Majesty's Dog, you continue to intrigue me with the quirkiness of your storyline even if your characters aren't all that unique or appealing. I think I like the main girl more than I do the demon-dog and only because the demon-dog is cliched as all get out. Shaman King, I love Ren. Give more men repentent "I have sinned and am going to atone for it by finding my own Shaman way" Ren.

Now all that's left is eventually getting back to RG Veda (to decide if I want to continue with that one), FMA, Here is Greenwood and a healthy helping of assorted shonen ai/yaoi/teasers (Cafe Kichijouji, Love Mode, Antique Bakery, Lies and Kisses, Skyscrapers of Oz, Our Kingdom, Kizuna, Selfish Love, and Il gatto sul G) Yeah, I realize I'm pretty shitty when it comes to reading my unknown pron. I want to read some of them before Otakon so I can decide if I want to continue any. It's always easier to find the speciality manga at the cons.

I have such a thing for Kaori Yuki's works ^^; Heh, Cain is beautiful, though I fancy Jezebel, is it any wonderful that I also adore Muraki? XD; Gotta love the demented ones _-_; Cafe Kichijouji is adorable XD;

Oh, I worked for Sakura-Crisis as a translator, and we did the Cain Saga and God Child. I have the scanlations on my computer of the Cain Saga if you are interested... or I can direct you to the http downloads. Let me go have a look see.

Thank you! I still plan on buying them at Otakon because I love the art, especially Cain. But understanding is a nice thing too.
