Saiyuki Calendar Boys

[chomiji]

So I finally received my lovely 2008 Saiyuki Reload Calendar, and I have it artfully positioned so that I can see it from where I'm sitting by merely turning my head about 30°, but no one walking by my office can see it from the door.

And it is very artistic, and mildly distracting (it's Hakkai's blissed-out face that I find the most attention-grabbing on this first page), but it's not much use as a calendar. The numbers are really hard to see, and the day-of-the-week labels not much better. I'm going to have to print out one of those blank calendar pages available on the web, for practical purposes ... .

Actually, I am reading Fake. And, I think, that I've mentioned it to you once. Maybe.

But, The Reload series is wierd. I can't get any sense out of the first volume. And I have tried several times. I think that I'll go catch up on Blood Sucker and the try again.

The trouble is, people started talking about Fake when I'd just started reading it, so I got confused, I think!

Let me think ... vol. 1 and 2 of Reload are indeed pretty odd. It's like she had trouble getting started again after Kami-sama. There's the silly thing about them running into some doppelgangers of themselves, there's a very cute little one-shot episode about Jeep getting kidnapped by some children, there's a terribly sad story about the ikkou encountering a lone adult youkai who's been taking care of some youkai orphans in a cave in the mountains, and then there's an encounter with Kougaiji's group. Yeah, it's all sort of run together.

I should get myself together and order vol. 7 actually.

Yes, and my poor little logical brain can't handle all those different aproaches to the story... I get very confused.

Well, the language issues probably don't help ... it's been translated from Japanese to English and it probably takes at least a partial trip into Danish in your brain - no wonder it's confusing.
