part 347 dimensions of sight and sound

and of mind. Do do do do do do do do do do do.

How was your end-of-December-into-January time, meme? Did you make any New Year's resolutions? Or light a candle in your window in the hopes that Himaruya would update again instead of leaving us behind like an 19th century light house keeper's wife whose husband has gone off to sea? ... Did you?

Enjoy part 347!

she sells sea shells by the sea shore

10x fast

i suck at tongue twisters, i want to see which of the english-speaking nations are any good at this. they should be, shouldn't they? they've all got centuries of experience

[Ooohh and now a new person too!? Today is her lucky day!]

[Plops her hands down on your shoulders, mentally judging your taste in books.]

Oy! Come on kiddo the good books are this way!

Canada is the only one who can do it.

But no one even hears him.

{Well, drat. And it's a romance novel he's already read too!}

{Browsing through the horror novels, picks up King's 'Salem's Lot.}

I suppose... this will be a good read... {The cover makes him a bit uneasy, though.}

I love when Prussia says fuck. In all honesty, I probably make him curse too much when I write him, but I don't care. I like it!

{Jumps a bit by the sudden hand on his shoulders, looks up to see that it's Ms. Prussia.}

Really? But I thought I was in the right section?

fuck is a good word

just ask mochimerica

[Does her reputation proceed her? Even better!! It should!]

Nah, this is all that stupid lovey-dovey crap! This way, this way!!

[Tries to steer you away towards the good stuff, you know classical literature and poetry and all that fun stuff!]

I love swearing Prussia, I don't even know why but it just seems wrong to not have them swear.

I like when authors make Romano react to things with stuff like "Tch!" and "Keh!" and other things like that. But the moment has to be right, and it can't be overdone or it loses that something.

{It does. He's heard a lot of tales about her. Most of them consists of her slashing through enemies without a sweat!}

W-Wait - {Starts to get dragged away, drops the book he was holding. Oh, here we go...}

[Someone is saying nice things about her, aaahhh how nice it is to have such a great reputation!]

Don't worry, the cool me will find something good for you! So what's your poison, English? French? I'd recommend German if you want something really heart-wrenching!!

[hey, hey! he can't help it if he's more of a tactile type than a reading type!]

[also, woah, hi there, company]

Uh...jus' lookin' fer-

[-wow, this is gonna sound a little hokey-]

-summat on werewolves?

[there's no reason you can't be both. though Gilbert is like that...is it a guy thing?]

Werewolves? Oh you mean like fantasy stuff?

[she knew it!]

I love having Denmark flub/make up words, like X-majig or X-amasummatorother. And words like fiddlybits. Fiddlysummats. Like maybe he heard good vocab somewhere but couldn't be bothered to learn it right. Someone please have a vocabulary intervention with this guy.

{Dragged all the way to the opposite side of the meme library. Wow she was right - the selection here looks much better than where he was at.}

Um... E-English... if that's okay with you? {Doesn't know if she'll get mad at him for not choosing German. Trembling a bit because one it's Prussia and two he's not really good with people.}

[maybe! or maybe Denmark's just hella bad at sitting still? can they get a grant for this?]

...kinda? Or how ya'd fix 'em up?

[sort of fantasy, sort of oh-shit-how-do-i-fix-this-condition]

[fantasy and self help don't exactly go together in most libraries]

Who are your favorite manga artists and why?

finland/perkele is my otp

[She has a talent for finding the good parts of libraries!]

English...English...let's see here... [She's skimming the books for something good, looking back only at that qualifier.]

I don't care what language you re- Oy, are you okay!?

[Hand on top of your head. Don't shake why are you shaking!? She's supposed to be cool not scary!!]

[it's vitally important research!]

Fix them up? Since when were you one of the magical ones!? I thought that was just Norwegen!!

Keehhh...maybe there's some mythology books that'll have historical accounts about that?

[starts walking off towards the mythology section, assuming Denmark will follow her.]

I'm more a fan of series than creators. I choose what I read based on what sounds interesting and don't really consider myself such a fan of anyone that I'd pick up everything they produce.

Naoki Urasawa is the only one whose works I have never been disappointed by and whose stuff I like so much that I want to read it all. The only problem is that his manga makes me feel such intense emotions that I can only bear to read a little bit at a time, so it's a slow process. He's just too good at making me love minor characters and then I'm always devastated if something tragic happens to them.

Other than that, the only person on my "must buy everything" list is Rihito Takarai, but that's more because I like slow, slice of life BL rather than because I think she's absolutely brilliant. That kind of BL doesn't get licensed nearly enough.

Mochizuki Jun of Pandora Hearts. The art is just gorgeous. The detail she puts in dresses is just amazing. And she's good at portraying character expressions too.

I also like Yana Toboso of Kuroshitsuji for the art, even if I don't follow the manga much anymore these days.

Story and plot-wise, I like Aoyama Gosho of Detective Conan, Higuchi Asa of Ookiku Furikabutte and Yellow Tanabe of Kekkaishi.

Kaori Yuki. Everything is as beautiful as it is fucked up.

Kaoru Mori, kind of obligatory, her attention to detail is lovely, great narrative style
Yuusuke Murata, is just. ridiculous. didn't read eyeshield 21, but from what I've seen in Onepunch-man, he's absurdly good.
Hiromu Arakawa, I really like the themes she tackles, and she writes nice, fleshed-out characters
Hoshino Katsura, I really liked her early and later styles
Akiko Higashimura, pacing and decompression, characters
Asano Inio, good pace,insanely detailed
Takako Shimura, good pacing and characters
