I'm reading the 7th and last volume.</p>
<p>
Does anyone know whether Bisco Hatori (the mangaka, who also did <i>Ouran High School Host Club</i>) is launching a new series any time soon? I tried some searches but didn't find any news (except that she was a guest at Anime Expo this year).</p>
<p>
All of my favorite mangaka seem to be dropping off the face of the earth, especially the seinen adventure series ones. Shirow Miwa (DOGS Bullets and Carnage)? Rei Hiroe (Black Lagoon)? Kazuya Minekura (Saiyuki)? *sigh*</p><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=chomiji&ditemid=619193" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2010-09-03:578263:561058Is Anyone Reputable Translating Saiyuki Reload Blast into English Now?2017-09-09T20:22:15Z2017-09-09T20:22:15Zsadpublic4<p>

Somehow I missed the fact that someone has actually put this up on YouTube. It's my 585 theme song:</p>

Tracey Thorn's voice slays me. It's not that it's spectacular, but somehow it's super comforting and cozy to me.</p>

Summary: Kenren's knack for attracting all kinds of attention is both an excellent smoke screen and a source of Tenpou's amusement--until the day it inadvertently backfires on him and the entire unit.</p><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=chomiji&ditemid=459581" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2010-09-03:578263:402504So What Is This from Sensei?2013-03-31T02:06:38Z2013-03-31T02:06:38Zconfusedpublic2<p>

<span style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='https://theskywasblue.dreamwidth.org/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='https://theskywasblue.dreamwidth.org/'><b>theskywasblue</b></a></span> was kind enough to give me the letter <b><i>T</i></b>, for which I now have to name five favorite characters whose names start with that.</p>
<p>
I have here four manga characters and one lonely person from mainstream fiction. (Actually, it's amazing that I'd have <i>anyone</i> from mainstream fiction!)</p>
<p>
<b>Tracy (real name: Eustacia) Quinn</b> is the shy, brainy modern-day heroine of Rumer Godden's <i>China Court</i>, a romance in which the most prominent character is really China Court, the Cornish house in which the Quinn family have lived for the better part of a century. Tracy's only happy memories from childhood were the few years that she lived at China Court with her grandmother. The very ending is problematic, but I have always sympathized very much with Tracy's shyness and her love of the house and the garden.</p>
<p>
<b>Tenpou Gensui</b> (Field Marshall Tenpou) is an ancient Chinese god who ends up on the wrong side of a political struggle in Heaven, in Katsuya Minekura's manga <i>Saiyuki Gaiden</i>. He's a brilliant man but also a slob and a bit of a space cadet. He has a keen sense of justice and right. In Minekura's main series <i>Saiyuki</i> (with its continuations: <i>Saiyuki Reload</i> and <i>Saiyuki Reload Blast</i>), Tenpou is reborn as Cho Hakkai. His lover Kenren Taishou (General Kenren) is reborn as Sha Gojyo.</p>
<p>
<b>Tokine Yukimura</b> is the female co-lead of Yellow Tanabe's manga series <i>Kekkaishi</i>. She is a teenaged 'barrier master," the current heir of one family of skilled magicians who can protect others from demons by creating magical barriers. Tokine is intense, loyal, studious, and skilled, but the series constantly contrasts her finesse with her male opposite number's magical strength.</p>
<p>
<b>Tokito Minoru</b> is a troubled and brash young man with a strange clawed and furred right hand and hardly any memory of his past. In Kazuya Minekura's <i>Wild Adapter</i>, he becomes the friend - and likely more - of the nihilistic young criminal Kubota Makoto. Together, they are trying to find out the secret of the strange drug Wild Adapter, which may have something to do with Tokio's weird hand. Tokito is frank, almost fearless, down-to-earth, and fiercely loyal to the very few people he trusts.</p>
<p>
<b>Taki Tooru</b> is a middle school girl in Yuki Midorikawa's manga series <i>Natsume's Book of Friends</i> (or <i>Natsume YuujinchŨ</i>). She is able to draw a magic circle that will allow her and others to see <i>youkai</i>, spirits/monsters that are usually invisible to most. She becomes one of the closest friends of Natsume Takashi, a lonely boy who has been tormented by his ability to see <i>youkai</i>. Taki (usually referred to by her family name, as are all the school-age characters in the story) is remakably brave. At first she is quiet and withdrawn as a result of a curse that was placed upon her; later, she becomes lively and more talkative.</p>
