Been trying to get into reading all the scanlations I've had saved up forever. Aku Tenshi finally released more Sequence *drool* They say they can't find scans for the rest, though T_T I wish I knew what issues of Hana to Yume to look for, so i can ask around (the end of Sequence was never collected in a tankoban)

I'm reading Carat, first, though, because Yoshitomo Watanabe is my favorite manga-ka. Even more than Clamp, now, I think. Her characters and sense of humor, she's just the best. This one looks really promising too. So far, it seems like a cliche magical girl story, but Watanabe adds so much fun and humor to old story types (like Beyond the Beyond)

That reminds me. I'm so mad that living in this country, I can't support my favorite artist! I want to buy all her manga, but I can't get it anywhere at all unless I do an Amazon Japan order. How ridiculous! I have had luck finding 4 out 5 volumes of Gin no Yuusha at the used manga store, but I thought, why couldn't it be Fun Fun Factory instead? ><; Gin is her first series, so it's not quite as good art wise and it's just a little harder to get into. I haven't read much of it at all.

OMG I just finished the first chapter of Carat! MAGICAL BOY!!!!!!!! I have such a huge grin on my face right now! How does does Watanabe-sensei always do it? Our scense of humor is just so in sync ♥ Her manga make me so happy ♥ Though, I supose adding in girly boys is just her tried and true formula ^^;;; (most of my favorite parts in FFF involve Kuon-senpal ^^;)
I like Alto/Canon right now, unless something better comes along. I want to do a fanart. ...Only I'd murder them so I don't want to try T_T

Speaking of girly boys! (lol) It's hard to pick a pairing in Suteki Tantei, since EVERYONE is in love with Mayuki. I like Seiran/Mayuki, but after episode...8 was it? I like Hatsumi/Mayuki too. I thought she was like 20, but she's still in highschool, so maybe she's only 5-6 years older than Mayuki?
I had more to say about Sueki Tantei, but I can't remember. Bleh.

Oh! About pairings: I like what kurosaki_akane explained here: http://kurosakiakane.deviantart.com/journal/19356702/
I've noticed too that alot of fans don't pay attention to name order in pairings. It's important, though! It's mainly more important with BL pairings, then het, I think. But even then, seeing Tohru/Yuki sounds wrong >< I'm sorry to say it, but the guy's name should go first. Now I could be wrong with this, but I think it's okay to have the girl first if you think she really is in control, like I usually write Rosalyn/Ari (Okage) because anything happening between those two would be Rosalyn's doing.
But back to BL, if I saw a doujinshi that was labeled Sawaki/Kei (Moyashimon), I woudn't be as interested as if it said Kei/Sawaki, because I want Kei to be in control.
The order chanes the entire way the characters personalities and interactions are presented. Like I've read both Akira/Hikaru and Hikaru/Akira (Hikaru no Go) doujinshi and there're both a completey different experience. The characters act totally different (I perfer AkiHika myself ^^)
