I realize I still have no fricking clue who these people are--my own fault, assuredly for not following the manga at all--but that it doesn't matter, because I loved reading this the second time as much as the first!

MMmm. Belial seems like a very interesting character indeed. I'm glad you decided to write this.

^_^V

Oh, you must read AS! It's twisted and complex and, um, *coughs* a lot more canonical than you might think, in a scary sort of way. Viz (I think) is bringing it out, here; pick it up next time you're home, it's utterly cool.

[lady-readwolf.livejournal.com]

Aa. I've been reading your rants--I mean, comments about it, but I'm rather hesitant to get involved with another manga that I won't be able to follow up on unless I give in and start paying through Amazon for international delivery. [sighs]

I'm in recruitment mode; want me to burn it to disc and mail it to you? The translation is a tad rough at times, but it's tiding me over wonderfully until Viz actually gets the whole series out.

{having read the second story-which is really the first in the series, appearntely-and realizing I have no clue whatsoever what's going on}

wait... Lucifer was the guy who was the sword who was Setsuna's kinda-best friend? {scratches head} yeah... if the offer still stands, I think I'll take you up on those scanlations....

[branchandroot]

Yep, that's the guy. *grins*

Send me your snailmail address (ravenwood.1@osu.edu), and I'll send them off to you.

American or Japan?

[branchandroot]

Whichever you think will get to you faster, or be easier. *thinks* I"m complete bolloks at writing kanji, but I could manage kana, probably.

muses on vacation?

[lady-readwolf.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... ne, ne! what do I have to do to help the Kirihara muse win the plot-bunny battle? ^___^ I wanna see what happens next in Rikkaidai!

Re: muses on vacation?

[branchandroot]

Umm. Hunt down Konomi, tie him to a chair, and make him write more Rikkai? With Yukimura this time, for preference, I mean, for pity's sake...

There will have to be more source-text inspiration before Kirihara stands a chance against Belial, I think. Though, I have to say, they seem to be hitting it off pretty well. Sanada's getting nervous. ^_^

{laughs}

First Niou and now Kirihara, too? yes, I would think Sanada has something to be worried about... next thing you know, Yukimura will be... {pauses} Seiichi isn't already collecting around Belial, too, is he?

Hmm.. it does look like it'll be a while before we'll see Rikkai again, though we might get a sneak peak of them sometime in the next month, but I sincerely get the feeling that he won't---as much as I wish it otherwise--start the Nationals before January.

I think Sanada has every right to be nervous, honestly.

[quietly cheers Hatter-sama on]
