Oh Irumi ♥

[pez]

Oh Irumi (Illumi?), I have only seen you in a few episodes and you have empty eyes and no expressions and probably very wirey hair (my imagination) and you're a total freak and I know nothing about you, but I wub you so damn much. I really hope there will be more of you in the anime. I will need to read the manga even though I have seen in Shounen Jump sort of "art" it has become. Now I must get the manga. Wonder how much it'll cost me from YesAsia. *goes check*

I beg you. Write me Illumi/Hisoka. OMG PLEASE.

(XD So glad you like the anime. Or do you?)

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Hmmm maybe. I'm trying to form my opinion on Hisoka at the moment. Right now all I have is Irumi/odd familylove-hate-care-nothingness XD

^____________^

Wait until you read the manga to form your opinion on Hisoka? I'm begging on my knees, here. Anime!Hisoka is so EWWWWWWW.

But despite being evil, Illumi is sort of cute. And the eyes... <3 I think Killua has the same eyes when he's really pissed, too. Must be a family thing. *nods*

Found out it'll cost me too much to buy the manga online! -_-

[factorielle.livejournal.com]

Am not surprised. 21 volumes... <_< I think I have 15 and 19-21 in Japanese, if you're interested. :p

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Yeah, even though shipping will be free, it'll still cost me HK$1000+ (online price, about 110 Euros) as opposed to about HK$500 (normal price)

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

oh and the anime, I like it :) but must go back to watch the episodes I missed because Sheep watched a lot in the last 3 days when I was at work T_T

[chinawolf.livejournal.com]

!!! XD

Perfect!

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

And then I probably need to get the English subs anyway, if I want to do anything fandom. I'm watching Chinese-subs atm which doesn't help in terms of learning names of characters and places. ^^"""

[factorielle.livejournal.com]

YES! And you DO want to do fandom things. We can, like, make a fandom of three. Or possibly four if Dimmeh ever gets to it. Anyway, there's a slight problem with the names, because Togashi is teh sucks at english, but he still wrote his characters' names in 'normal' alphabet... so Illumi is Yellmi, Kurapica is Kurapikt and so on. The translators all over the world are doing their best to ignore this until the manga shoves it in their faces. >_>

i have Illumi x Killua doujin XDDDD
its creepy tho >__> but who cares, it has smut XD

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

<--- not much of a anything-cest fan XD

Besides, Killua's nice, but too young for my taste. It's like, I like Kurapica too, but he looks too young *sigh*

[factorielle.livejournal.com]

Kurapika is seventeen, dude. XD

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

He looks too kiddish! =P

[factorielle.livejournal.com]

He'd so not appreciate you saying that. XD But yeah, he does look a bit younger than, say, Tezuka.

[myth720.livejournal.com]

hmm, i dont really have pairings in HxH, it just that the doujin looked interesting (and smutty) so i was curious to see it. and Illumi is just drawn so yummy in it ^^;
Kurapika is my fave <3333

how about Kuroro? he's cool :3

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen Kuroro yet (or might have missed him when my sis watched parts of the anime without me), so I don't know. Heard that he's creepy though, so it's likely that I'll like him XD

[myth720.livejournal.com]

ooh so you havent seen the best part of the anime yet D:
the last ep.. from 53 i think or a bit before and the first ova are the best.... but i love dark and angsty stuff ^__^;

[factorielle.livejournal.com]

KURORO IS NOT CREEPY ! *poutsulks*

[factorielle.livejournal.com]

The thing with the art is... as Togashi has chronic back pains or something, he puts a minimum of effort on the weekly publication, and makes it better afterwards. The art is usually much better for the tankubon release. *nods muchly* Anyway, the ending of the anime forces one to read the manga, oh yes. It's also available for download here and there. ^^

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

*blink* I thought a mangaka like him would have loads of assistants to help, but ah well.

Manga = too much money, unless I can get someone to get it for me AND bring it over from HK *sigh*

[factorielle.livejournal.com]

I don't know. He never mentions assistants. :/ Anyway, I have several occasions where the chapter release (scanlated) and the volume release (legally bought) are quite different, art-wise.

Download it, I say. :9

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Mangaka always have assistants. Famous ones have at least 3 or 4 normally, they can have up to a whole team of them. For weekly publications, unless the mangaka really insists, he usually just do the pencils and leave all the inking and screentone-ing to the assistants~

Hmmm, if you can point me to a downloading source? =D

[factorielle.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's also the impression I have, but usually the assistants are mentionned sometimes in the manga, like in extra pages, and in this case all we get is that he got married and went to Egypt and had a kid and stuff like that. Considering the art quality of a few chapters like, twenty chapters ago, I don't think his assistants do a lot of work if he even has them.

Downloading... You can get volumes 1 and 2 here, as well as volume 20 and free chapters. Most recent chapters can be found there, and for the rest you have . Although you'll have to register and waiting twelve seconds before starting downloads is a bit of a pain, and the first 15 volumes or so there are not too good translations of the French parution, but I couldn't find anywhere else to get the missing links. ;_;

Or you can come to Tine's next week and I'll give you a CD. Not resorting to bribery at all, no no.
