Manga: Blood+ Vol 3, Special A

WOOHOO! Illuminati Manga finally released the translation of Blood+ Vol 3 and I am over the friggin moon! :D

( For Blood+ Vol 3 spoilers )

I also started reading the Special A class manga, which really is two kinds of awesome :D The art is soooo much more nicer in the manga and i just wanna....eat Kei up! *num num!* He looks so delicious at some parts...ditto for Tadashi *squeeee!* I didnt really like the way Hikari looks in the anime but I definitely like her design more in the manga :D Its somehow...softer maybe? But that also applys for Kei, whose character design i am not particularly fond of in the anime. I really like Ryuu in the anime (kyaaa~! <3)

I read five volumes in two hours and then had a dream in which i saw Kei and Hikari....Special A overload perhaps? XD

I hereby vow....

Looking at the utter lack of Special A icons (manga icons), I hereby vow that during my upcoming holidays i WILL make as many god damned Special A icons as I can! ESPECIALLY of Kei/Hikari and Tadashi/Akira....and toss in Ryuu and Megumi/Yahiro as well. And anyone else or thing that strikes my fancy in the Special A manga.

Cause god damn it! When i was readin the manga, every third page I was thinking "OooOOoOOh! You crop that up in that angle and it'd make a neat lil icon! I hope someones made it!" but then i go and search and NADA! Bumpkis! Zilch! NOT KOOL!

Therefore....expect Special A icons my friends! And if i forget, kick me in the ass and tell me to make them!

Michael Turner (RIP)

I just found out that Michael Turner, THE Michael Turner passed away yesterday after a 7 year battle against cancer. He was only 37.

He was one comic artist that I admired over all the rest. His beautiful art style and characters...

I am just at a loss for words. I loved his work and this is just......

I just...
