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 ... .

I wonder how far out she's plotting Reload - whether she was deliberately saving the full view of Hakkai's other form for this latest (in the English tankoubon) sequence or whether she was just coming to various scenes (like the rescue scene) and saying to herself "Hmmm ... not yet." We do get the one quick shot of him vined-out in the raincoat, with the gangmembers shouting in fear. And then he's all buttoned-up again, doing his "Tut! Looks like no more rain"" thing ... .

I think I already mentioned that someone once pointed out that when Hakkai decides to go after Gojyo, he swears for the first (and thus far only) time in the series.

BTW, do you realize that your comment above is now on page 9 of my inbox? And it was only 2 days ago?   XD
