Oh, Tenpou!!!

It's impossible to use too many exclamation marks.

All his guts fell out.

!!!

And fighting for his life and thinking about instant noodles and spare lightbulbs and his spare pair of glasses and how they might be found when 'that person is cleaning my room... like he always does.'

I just want to cry all over my desk.

It took me so long to figure out that I was looking at the frog ashtray upside-down, and when I did, it brought me to all-new wibbling lows.

I never thought the scene where Gojyo finds Hakkai in the road would strike me as happy, but at least that time when he get his guts slashed open and keeps on crawling with the last of his strength, there's someone there for him at the end of it. Oh, Tenpou.

Oh! I couldn't work that out, so thank you for telling me. That's just an extra little bit of painful detail, because it means they've trashed all his beloved books.

This death puts that whole scene in a whole new light, which is quite amazing. I really do love Minekura's ability to pile layers of new meanings to previous (future?) events.
