Gakked from

yonmei, according to your interests, the things I might be interested in are:

( basically mary renault and g. manville fenn )

Also GIP for Hajime's hands. I think I have a thing about him. He's my favourite character in Peace Maker Kurogane, but no one else seems to be much interested in him from what I can see. He's sarcastic, slightly creepy and can see into the future. I honestly can't see why he's not more popular. Plus he wears Sanzo's gloves and is deadly with a sword.

Peacemaker Kurogane manga is really good. Brilliant art and a complicated (all right, baffling at some points) story line, finely drawn characters and lots of historical detail. Oh, and mysterious cat boys. It's a continuation of another series, which makes for a feeling of being plunged in at the deep end. I had to read both volumes twice to properly understand who was who and what exactly was happening, but I was glad I did. It treads a very careful line between lightheartedness and intense drama, from what I've seen so far.

I'm going to see if I can pick up vol 3 in London on Wednesday, where I shall be attending Pulse 2005 at Earls Court. No, it's not a lentil convention, but an interiors accessories show. But yes, Peacemaker Kurogane--I recommend it.
