I HAVE MY VOLUME 7 SITTING NEXT TO ME ON THE COUCH AND AM RESISTING TEMPTATION TO JUST CONSTANTLY FLIP BACK THROUGH BITS BECAUSE I HAVE TO DO MY LAUNDRY. BUT! BUT!

And that is because Kyoko is AMAZING. I have such a thing for characters who come off as ordinary/silly and turn out to be saner than everyone else.

And yeah, I understand the Yukiji reasoning - I would not mind it so much if she was not also The Only Girl in the group, you know? But since it is it plays out in ways that are more problematic. It is true that there is no one else at all competent to raise Kanna, but still.

- !!!!! seriously all together? HOW AM I GOING TO WAIT TWO MORE MONTHS FOR THAT

*cough*

Anyway, as for Pluto - I am already terrified of the Johan lookalike @_@ The cast mostly feels individual to me too, but I keep getting these niggling reminders that they look almost like this-person or that-person from Monster and I am supposed to be identifying them! And then I have to remember that no actually, I'm not.

The detail really is gorgeous. And since rereading your post I am going to make a note of looking out for Gesicht's body language!

Yeah, those chapters read very much to me like they were saying Here Are Some Themes To Keep In Mind. Which, I trust Urasawa to have them play out in fascinating ways, so I'm okay with that! And again with the Fullmetal Alchemist parallels. *laughing* You know, somehow I find it unsurprising that both of these series appeal to both of us. I'M JUST SAYING.

. . . . . thanks Urasawa. D: *preps box of hankies*

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TL;DR ABOUT URASAWA. *cough*
