Dominion's End v1, 1/2 Prince manhua v16

[lucathia]

Got Yu Wo's new novel, Dominion's End today! It's Yu Wo's version of the end of the world, with a dimensional hopping, time traveling do-over of sorts for the main character.

Also got 1/2 Prince manhua v16, the last volume! Wow, the end. Cai Hong Zhong says on the inside flap, "I finally finished drawing 1/2 Prince. Seven years of my youth..." :'D (Thank you for your hard work!!!) Min Gui Wen cosplaying as his game avatar asjdfla;sjdf;af. Ming Bin's RL appearance. djf;laj; (WHAT IS THAT HAIR)



The cover for Dominion's End is really nice! There's a transparent cover that can be removed. Art below has absolutely no text on it for the front cover part. The art wraps around the entire book~~~ (Ahhhh Wu Ling's art. I love it! It always gives a very epic feeling)


Insert/pullout art of the two "brothers"!


Character intros of the siblings. They had this on their site for this novel series too.


Table of contents.


Magnets that comes with pre-ordering Dominion's End!


My order came with discount tickets for the Detective Conan movie Dimensional Sniper. Well, too bad I'm not in Taiwan to watch it... I want to watch it...


And now for some 1/2 Prince pics. Ming Bin!!! Ming Bin, you look so young. (He's on the left, the one with the curly hair)


There are some very lovely illustrations of Kenshin in this volume.


:DDDD


It goes without saying that this one is my favorite. This is the title page of the very last 1/2 Prince chapter, ahhhhhhh. (Cold Fox and Kenshin <333333)

And so I have finished reading all of 1/2 Prince, ahhhhhhh. It has been quite a journey. =x


Also, new fishbones! \o\


Yu Wo plurked today that she got herself addicted to blueberries just like Sun. Somehow, the conversation turned to how Ice must be broke because of Grisia's love for blueberries, and Yu Wo answered:
Ice: I planted a field of blueberries in the corner of the Holy Temple.

(Ahhhhh that is such a cute image... Ice, why are you so cute)

Gong Hua V4 comes out on July 15. It's the last volume! At first, Gong Hua was slated for 3 volumes, but Yu Wo couldn't fit everything she wanted in 3 volumes. She thought each of the volumes would turn into 2 volumes, making it 6 volumes in all. I'm really surprised the end volume count is 4. I hope it's not a rushed ending!

Wu Ling's artwork is so handsome! Aaaaah~~ That spreadsheet! Huffhuff. Also, the cover fits so well with what I'm imagining the setting to be like. Aaaaaaah! If only there were releases in languages I understood.

(psst pssst, I wanna see Min Gui Wen cosplaying Guiliastes!)
Ming Bin is such a cuTIE no wonder people mistake him for a girl! His hair looks so rufflable <333 I really want to ruffle it~~~~~
But wow, Manhua!Kenshin is so handsome. Huffhuffhufffff~~ I always imagined fluffy-haired Kenshin-manga-Kenshin (of which I only read the two volumes, I believe). Ridiculously "painful to the eyes when combined with his hair" magenta pink clothes all the way! But aaah, his looks in the manhua really fit 1/2 Prince-Kenshin <3

I like to imagine you wearing all your fishbones at the same time, aha |D

Good, good! Blueberries are important!! Aaah, how I miss finnish baked blueberry goodies~~ To cover Grisia's blueberry needs Ecilan must have planted quite a field! I don't know how much you get per bush with those huge blueberries you get in the supermarket since those bushes actually grow upward, but for wild forest blueberries (which I find to be more fragrant) you need quite an area because the bushes are rather small (as a the berries, ahaha). And for my mum's blueberry pie you need a pound or two... Just imagine the Ice Knight Platoon rummaging through the nearby forest to collect blueberries for their captain in their spare time! How nice would that be~

Wu Ling's art is so epic, ahhhhhh. (I hope she'll still be doing the art for the main Female Warrior series when it actually starts!) I'm in love with her backgrounds and designs. |D;;

(Oh oh I'll take a pic! He did a very good job cosplaying his own character. |D;; It was really cool though because he did feel a little different~~.)

Ming Bin is super cute! Look at that hair! And his baby face. He very much made me wonder how old he was. Yang Ming came over right after. Seeing him next to Ming Bin was very much whoa, just how old are you, Yang Ming!!! Why do you look so much older than Ming Bin!! Manhua!Kenshin, I feel, usually looks cute over looking handsome. |D;; But when he's serious, he does look very handsome and dangerous. |D;;;;;

The most I've ever worn was fishbone t-shirt + fishbone necklace + fishbone bracelet. XD;; I have fishbone earrings, but I don't have my ears pierced. (But I guess I could wear the ear cuff ones) I only have one fishbone hairclip that I'd probably break if I wore it too much, ahahah. (I need fishbone slippers or shoes hahahah). My usual is just a necklace. :3;;

Because of Grisia, I find myself trying blueberry flavored stuff more. |D;; The other day, I tried blueberry ramune. It was kind of weird tasting haha. Ecilan must need quite a field of blueberries, huh. |D;; *imagines all of the Ice Knight Platoon helping him collect blueberries* XDDD ♥

Yes please! I need my perfect waifu to be epic~~ *cough* If it's not Wu Ling doing the artwork, I guess it'd be likely J.U taking over since it's LSK verse? While I absolutely adore J.U's artwork, that would feel a little weird, haha. Aaah~ But I'd love to see characters in her style once! (J.U-sensei! Fanart plz!) And what would I give to see epic Wu Ling!Lesus, or Roland... (I just need more great LSK art in great styles, hahhh. There are too few fanartist on websites I can reach, seeing how I can't navigate chinese websites beyond finding a single thread through google images!)

Men who can look both cute and dangerous are the worst heartbreakers |DD But hey, it fits with the whole Kenshin image! Derpy blerb vs Battousai-mode, haha. (Though 1/2 Prince!Kenshin never struck me as quite so much the derpy blerb :'D)
Let me just adopt Ming Bin. //adopts EVERYONE

Aaaah, Fishbone shoes! I remember a friend of my sister's having some. Fishbone as a brand was super popular when I was a kid... (like, 8 or something) I think my sis even had a pencil case? Does that brand even still exist?? Either way I always have to think of it when I read the word "fishbone" xDD People had everything... from shoes to pencil cases to belt buckles. Ah, good old times. (If I ever get around to sending you a package, I'll make sure to include something fishbone!!)

Oh, you too!! xDD;;; I actually wanted to get some drink with milk, like milk tea or whatever that yoghurt lemonade is called again, but then I spotted blueberry ramune... Which didn't really taste like blueberry at all, and it wasn't even as sweet as regular ramune, I felt. Unacceptable!!! How can something labelled blueberry neither taste like blueberry nor at least be sweet? My inner Grisia was upset. ûu

(!!!! Kiyu lives!!!! But LJ does not seem to be working very well for her. But you have now successfully gotten her thinking about Roland and Lesus and everyone else's reaction to otome games featuring themselves XDDD)

J.U. makes me think... modern, while Wu Ling really gives Female Warrior a different flair. I'd love to see them do art of each other's designs. |D;;; Now I'm wondering who will be doing art for Searching for Roland...

Truth. |D;; 1/2 Prince!Kenshin doesn't feel derpy at all, though in the manhua, he does have quite a few cute looking panels. |D;;; I want a Ming Bin. XD; I can then pit Hungri against him and watch sparks fly. Though I guess Ming Bin eventually calmed down...

Fishbone as a brand!!! I don't think I've actually gotten anything of the fishbone brand yet. All my stuff are pretty random. |D;;; Shooooesss ahhhh. Belt buckles????

Oh, so you've tried blueberry ramune too! XD It wasn't bad... but it wasn't what I was expecting either, haha. Grisia probably wouldn't like it too much.

(Kiyuuuu~~~~~ *^* Mission accomplished, wahahaha !!! |DDD Lesus vs Otome games omg. That'd be so adorable. IMAGINE GEORGO REACTING TO A (possibly that) BL GAME THOUGH.)

Yes!! That's a good description. Wu Ling's artwork really makes me feel how Female Warrior plays out about 800 years? prior to LSK. The days of old! And ooh, ooooooh, that's really a good question... I can't even say whom I'd prefer for Searching for Roland. (I'm still excitedly scared of that series. Ah! I need to stop thinking about it! Don't remind me!!!)

I think Fishbone is a german brand?? I think it belongs to New Yorker (a clothing label) with the stationaries being a collab with Herlitz or something. I'll make sure to get you Fishbone brand stuff then! |DD (probably just stationaries. Pencil cases are great, okay) Though I don't know where to get them these days...

Gui cosplaying his own character. He did a really good job, haha. |D;;

Gui in a wedding dress (I cannot wait until we get to the part with Lesus walking down the aisle in his wedding dress ahhhhhh)

kf;asjf;saf Ahhhh that sounds so cool. To have stationary like that. Pencil cases... |D;;

Re: huffhuff

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

Wow wow, Gui! You're pulling that off nicely! I know your in-game avatar is technically based on your IRL appearance, but still, good work *^* (I'd still kick my partner in the face if they proposed to me like that, in front of a crowd even)

He also truly makes one beautiful bride... Almost as beautiful as Lesus shall be. Aaaaaaah get married already aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

...Should I see if I can find acquire a pencil case for you |DDD

o.o! When I went to Taiwan last year I saw they had last year's movie already out over there! I was super jealous, since it takes forever for the English subbers to finish such a long episode...

*staring at the End of Dominion cover* So pretty... And it looks so cool!~ It looks even cooler without all the text in the way! *stares at my own picture of Dar* I'll draw like that someday... *sigh*

Creeper smile!~ I'll definitely try to go to one of the CA anime conventions someday to cast worshipful gazes at you while you're innocently walking around! (Although, I still need to come up with a reason creative enough that you won't hit me as soon as you notice me sneaking around 1m behind you.)

[lucathia]

I am super jealous right now. XD; (I only just recently watched Private Eye in the Distant Sea though... So I guess I can wait. But! Watching it in theaters would be quite the experience!)

Wu Ling's art is so pretty and epic~~~. *stares at it some more* It's really cool that the text can be removed so we can stare at the lovely art even more. |D (Oh oh, art of Ah Ye? Do share!!)

skdfl;asdfas;dfja;sd Cooooome chat with me about LSK and No Hero and Wu Ling/J.U./Ya Sha/Neko Kreuz's lovely art. *flails* All the anime conventions, but little love for Taiwanese series there. |D;;;;;
