Big Fat Icon Post (SDK, Saiyuki, Bleach, Fruits Basket, Blade of the Immortal)
I've been having much too much fun with my icons. At first I felt very protective and parental and didn't want to let any of them go, but now that I have lots of them, I don't mind so much ... and it's very warm and fuzzy to see them show up in other folks' posts.

Some Notes:
9. Lyrics adapted from those of a traditional British folk tune.
10. With apologies to certain boutique popular with Gen Y.
12. Inspired by the Young Lady, who said that Gojyo's going-adventuring wardrobe in the first books made her think of what happens when you let preschoolers dress themselves.
27. Yes, I know, everyone makes an icon out of this picture. But there's so little good Furuba art online. Let me know if you have a pipeline to some more! (And besides, I messed with his mouth a little to make it look more like the manga Hatori.) Lyrics from The Who, of course, in "Tommy."
28. Ummm ... there may be a generation gap issue here. The reference is to Dr. Suess' immortal work On Beyond Zebra.
29. Lyrics from folksinger Carrie Newcomer (song: "It's Not OK")
If there's another one I use regularly that you'd like to have, you can always ask ... (the ones I still feel the most protective about are the Yukimura ones I use regularly), and I love making them by request too.
ETA: And I meant to put all the disclaimers: no hotlinking to my poor Earthlink account, please credit, etc. etc.

Hmmm ... sanada's Hana-mi SDK site has scans/trans for 33 onward, and she filled in a couple of the translations betwen those and now, but no one seems to have done the scans. I think that the fangirls were just really getting going with LJ etc. at that point in the Japanese publications. The late lamented SDKPowaaa site, which was French, had scans ... but the webmaster got bored and just pulled the plug one day. All that great stuff - GONE!
Hmmm .. this looks like vol. 29 here and the first chapter of vol. 30. But I'm not having much luck finding the others. Sorry!

I think you said something about 33 Volumes so far. I've read some comments that say spoiler for the end of SDK, etc. I was just wondering is SDK finished in Japan or is it still ongoing?

>> Ok I'm a dork. I just scrolled up in our conversation and saw you said the series went to 38 Volumes. <<
Not to worry! Yes, the series ended in Japan in the early fall of 2006 - just about the time I first got into it!
