Happy December! Apparently CLAMP is returning with a new xxxHOLiC series. What the actual fuck, CLAMP. After you pissed off all your remaining fans with the ending of original HOLic (The Professor's Wife will forever remain my HOLiC canon), you still choose not to finish X/1999 and instead troll us harder. I swear they like to see their fans suffer as much as their characters. And yet they are still among my favorite manga-ka with some of my favorite series...
I remember enjoying the first volume of Gate 7 that I read, though I also remember thinking I would get so much more out of it if I were better familiar with Japanese history. I haven't managed to read through the new Legal Drug/Drug & Drop because the change in art style threw me so much (same issue with the new FAKE sequel). I did enjoy Kobato, though I suppose it makes sense since I loved WISH too. But really, I do miss their older stuff. It is hard to top CCS in terms of ~my feels~, because I am really just a twelve-year-old girl at heart, without the magical sparkly powers.
But this is maybe a good nudge back towards manga. Teen Wolf fic is feeling very samey-samey these days, on top of the fandom imploding with wank. I am avoiding all of that except for Tyler Hoechlin's face. Anyway, this month there will be H/D to read! But I definitely think some manga will be a nice fannish distraction too.
My fannish life is so scintillating these days, lol. I had some excitement over MAMA 2012, mostly in boggling at Adam Lambert performing (Amber singing along wtaf alskdfjslkfh), screeching with glee over Wang Lee Hom performing, and sort of just...completely uncomprehending of GD and Yesung sitting next to each other. That said, aw, congrats Suju, even though I feel kind of bad for Kangin to be back in a group where his two best friends/troublemakers are gone. BUT MOSTLY I HAD A LOT OF BIG BANG LOVE. And I will never not love Epik High - their performance and how much they rocked out to BB. ♥ YG family love.
Re the post title: Fushigi Yuugi will forever be my go-to series for the most anguished romantic wailing (both towards the respective true love and also to the fates)
