Kouryuu fanart

[louiselux]

From some site, somewhere-- I've no idea at all what's going on in this cartoon detailing the early years of ridiculously cute baby Sanzo, but it's adorable, especially the one with the elephant.

Oh my. That's adorable! I especially like Sanzo's dinosaur costume when he's nibbling on his toy rabbit, and the picture of Koumyu cuddling him, with Sanzo's little baby hand in his hair.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Squeeee! Those ones are too cute-- the world needs more baby Sanzo.

I can't tempt you to write any, can I? *puppy eyes*

[daegaer.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. I feel I can probably be tempted, all right.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Hoorah! *tempts further*

The thought of Sanzo as a baby with Koumyou, who clearly doted on him at that age, is just so-- I dunno, heartbreaking, really. Have you seen the Saiyuki Burial arc? It's vol 3/4 of Saiyuki Reload, the next series of manga after the first one, and we get a lot of backstory for Sanzo and Koumyou, and how he became what he is. You should read it, I think. Shall I upload the zips for you?

[daegaer.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've read Burial - I read some random part of Reload, and got very confused! I'd love the zips, please! (Dear me, I see Baby!Sanzo in my future . . .)

You can read Burial pretty much independently of the rest of Reload, plotwise.

These are kinda like...baby pictures...

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

It's like looking through Koumyou's photo album...

[myroughdraft.livejournal.com]

I'm absolutely dead. I love it dearly.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Me dead too. Isn't it just the cutest thing *ever*?

Oh this is so cute. XD
my lame attempt at translation: (It's a very very lame attempt so uhm...)

Oh this is so cute. XD
my lame attempt at translation: (It's a very very lame attempt so uhm...)
1st strip:
<The kind, and beautiful Koumyou Sanzo is known as a Super Idol in Kinsanji.> (the temple's name. if I got it wrong, whack me. o.o; )

<Even so, the Super Idol came back one day with a baby.>
Koumyou: I will be taking care of this child.
<What a shocking statement. A big problem!>

<In fact, there is a super secret organization within Kinsanji - the 'Sanzo Fanclub'! They were all very shocked to hear the news and rumors spread.>

Monk a: Did you know?
Monk b: BABY?!
Monk c: Whose child is that?
Monk d: hmmm...
monk e: But he is the only beautiful person (koumyou)... <-- (uhm. help with this sentence)
Monk e: Could it be?!

Monk e: So... That child is not Sanzo-sama's, is he? <small>I mean, you didn't give birth to him yourself...</small>
Koumyou: Please don't say such horrific things.
Koumyou: <small>Who was the one who said that?</small>
Koumyou: <small>Do you wish to be makai tenjou-ed?</small>
Arrow pointing at baby Sanzo: Alseep.

Ahahaha! Koumyou-preg! Thanks so much for doing this - it's so funny. I have a feeling that the monks think that the youkai who appears in later panels might be the father.

[hungry-worm.livejournal.com]

Incredibly cute. :)

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

It is! Yay!

[cicer.livejournal.com]

Oh my God, that's hideously cute. *faints*

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

It's deadly cute. Sanzo would be mortified!

[baka-gaijin.livejournal.com]

~ falls over ded from the cuteness ~

I love it! Especially 'sleeping baby sanzo tied to his crib' and 'baby sanzo as baby dinasour'.

How in the world did you find this? I would love to see the full translation.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

This level of cute could easily kill. :)

I found the site through some random trawling of Saiyuki comms, specifically raven_moon.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Duh. I meant raven_sun

[toscas-kiss.livejournal.com]

That is indeed teh cuteness. Darn, don't you just wish someone had a photo to show Sanzo? [evil grin]

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Sanzo would be so horrified! It would be cool. :)

[daegaer.livejournal.com]

Yay!

Yes, it's ok to give it to her (though I don't know why she didn't ask me!)

OMG Koumyou has a fanclub at the temple. I so knew it. XDDDD

Whoever drew these, damn they're good. I'll be over here quietly perishing from the cute.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

All those bald monks just love him - it's hilarious. And aaargh! so cute. Sadly I can't read a single word of the site, but I'd like to tell them they're excellent.
