Yami no Matsuei
Oct 14 2000: 
Recently I bought the charac book for Yami no Matsuei... ^^
To be honest, I havent been reading comics much recently. I only buy charac books and illustration books for the artwork... ^^; Probably sounds insane, but liking Jrock plus economic depression plus hyperinflation in Kino makes things hard for me.
In any case, I showed it to Celeste. her first reaction... "This looks like Laruku! Sakura! Tetsu! Hyde! who is this... Ken!" 

Tsuzuki Asato

Watari Yutaka

Kurosaki Hisoka

Tatsumi Seiichiro

huhuhu... I like Hisoka very much.
I got into Yami no Matsuei by my friend's comic... ^^; She bought it and lent it to me. I conveniently got it from her for ... forever *laughs* 
well, since it was the first part, I couldnt say much about Seiichiro and the Yutaka. But I like Asato and Hisoka. I like Hisoka too much! He's too beautiful...^^;
Asato is damn cute!

hehe.
My first impression of Hisoka is to link it with blonde Hyde! ^^;
Well, Asato doesn't look too much like Sakura to me... But that Yutaka guy.. .what with the round glasses... kya~ ^^ 
Asato x Hisoka is also very... probable and cute ^^
Asato is a very funny person... especially with his "the pay is low" and "I LIKE Hisoka, so of course I feel worried!" with those cat ears... hehe

But I like Hisoka more because he's pretty, he's cold, and he has a very sexy body. *gets killed by Hisoka and Asato comes wagging tail around saying "I think so too!"*
haha^^ In some sense, Hisoka make s a very good "hyde alike"... *cough*

Oh, talking about manga, I find that Kaine is rather good. It's almost like sticking the Laruku members into different scenes, and meddle around with their sex a little. (maybe that happens more in Angel Sanctuary) but what I like more about Kaine is the corruption. I will never read Angel Sanctuary though.

Which might have to do with the fact that I dont like how the women and the men are potrayed. Women are slim, gentle pretty, weak, loveable, jealous, full of feelings, cold as stone, evil as nuts, foolish as idiots, smart as edison and such. Bleah. (As a side note, I like Maria Wang in Yami no Matsuei...) Oh, and cute. I think it's disgusting to potray it in such a way because it's obvious self-insertion. ^^; I think many times I liked girls created by guys i.e: Rei, Death.... Sakura (Street Fighter), Morrigan (Vampire Hunter). ^^; Don't know why... Hmm. I think I like these because they're more appealing to me. ^^ 
Ahhh!  And how can I forget Ai! ^^;;; And Belldandy! And URD! (Belldandy because her prince is useless, and URD because she's damn funny.)
I like the girl in Clover too, though.
*laughs* and another thing is they always have the bishounen to themselves.Maybe it's just a reflection of the truth that I don't like. ^^; 

I like tragedy-induced comics though! 
Which suits Laruku very much. No matter how I see them, even with the sunshine-fit-to-kill Tetsu, ^^;; I don't see them as..some people who would star in a happy story. 
Which probably explains why two of the most welcome and darkest manga series bear similarity to Laruku. (and other than some bands, I find that... Laruku is the most influential among manga artists? ^^;; Someone prove me wrong... *sweat*
