Amatsuki

[suanz]

I found out about this manga/anime from pixie_blade and decided to check it out.

Mind you, I have seen this manga appearing in my Zero-Sum magazines which I have been faithfully subscribing since Jan 2010 and did not paid any attention to it. Anyway I'm so glad I did. (On a side note, these Zero-Sum magazines are so darn thick, I'm running out of storage space!!)

It's very nice!!!! In the beginning, I thought the protagonist looks a bit weird - what's with those huge eyes but I grew to love it after 3 episodes? or less.....

What's so nice about this series?? I dunno exactly - just that the characters, the storyline and the animation appeals to me.

And I checked out the artbook over at BL Academy and the art is gorgeous - rich, colourful and kinda abstract (that's how I'll describe it).

Anyway this has been a very fruitful weekend. I sat thru' 16 episodes of Uraboku (that's another story) and all 13 episodes of Amatsuki. It's kinda sad that the production of the anime was abandoned due to some drug scandal. Anyway that's what I gathered from searching online. If that's true, with all due respect, this is one thing I can never understand about their culture..... Sigh.

Anyway all this is possible, thanks to pixie_blade . Because of her (in good faith, of course) she has helped me discover Kuroshitsuji (kya~~~), 07-Ghost, Hakuoki Shinsengumi (drools) and now Amatsuki. My next target should be Monochrome Factor... I think., on top of checking out the rest of the Amatsuki manga. And why the bloody f--- is this not translated???
