UWAAAAAA!

i just read Not Ready, Sensei! and I am IN LOVE. With Kazuma Kodaka. And now I need to go buy Kizuna, because if it's even half as good as Not Ready, Sensei!, then it's amazing. It's so... meta. It's about a managaka for a boys love magazine who seems to fall in bed with random men every time he gets drunk - even though he says he's straight and has a girlfriend. His boss (boss? not quite sure... his senpai at least) is in love with him, and after he sleeps with his assistant, he finds out that his assistant is in love with his former boss. The plot-lines are so hilariously cliche - the uke who doesn't want to admit he's gay and the uke who doesn't want to tell his seme that he used to be an enormous h0-bag who would sleep with anything that moved. But it's WONDERFUL. The best scene is one where the main-character uke (the one who thinks he's straight) goes over to a female co-worker's house to ask for help with a yaoi plotline and gets sucked into helping her finish a doujinshi. SO META IT HURTS. When they're explaining why girls like yaoi... oh the inside jokes. I wish I got them all... >_>

GO READ IT. NOW. YES, NOW. (I'll let you guys read Kizuna after I buy it... probably on Thursday... manga is so fucking expensive... ~sulks~)

1. belladonna:
   oh, wow. old memories. "belladonna poisoning" was eala's concept of the rock group we would have formed in 8th grade if we were, you know, into that kind of shit. i hijacked it to become my pen-name. still go by it. i'm too lazy to change it now. sylvie_the_elf still calls me Bella!
2. danse macabre:
   OH MY GOD I WANT TO PLAY THAT PIECE SO BAD IT HURTS. (Yeah, i know i'm not good enough. shut up.)
3. fruits basket:
   soooooooooo cute! I'm in love with every single male character in the manga/anime. and akito, since i don't think s/he counts. And I think the author thinks that the guys should just all give up and have sex with each other, because it's so amazingly slashy and if you listen to the subtext, they're all uber-promiscuous h0s.
4. hp:
   ah, my first fandom. i hardly read it now, and i don't write any more. but it was fun while it lasted.
5. latin:
   my one true love. it's been five years, baby, why are we still together? because we were made to love each other, duh. i hope that when i'm older and teaching kids the language i'll be cool enough to make them love it as much as i do.
6. mendelssohn:
   his music = love. especially the Hebrides overture. we played it in orchestra. wicked hard, but it's so beautiful.
7. petshop of horrors:
   Leon and Count Dee are married. Thank you. That's all.
8. prince of tennis:
   it eats my brain. that's okay. i still love it.
9. slash:
   it eats my brain even more. it's also all that keeps me from killing myself over how amazingly pathetic my life is. it's a mindless pleasure, and i love it.
10. vergil:
    hah, non-brainless pleasure! the Aeneid was a definite experience. maybe one of these days i'll read his other stuff. until then, i'll continue to proclaim all other epic poetry to be totally knock-off crap that cannot compare to the original. (YES, EVEN HOMER. I DON'T CARE IF HE DID IT FIRST, VERGIL DID IT BETTER.)
