It has been an awful long time since I commented on anything regarding manga in general, so here it goes, a self-indulgent post about the series that I finished like twenty five seconds before I wrote this blog post.

The series I read was

Godchild

and it was pretty darn awesome.

The artist is Kaori Yuki, famous for her previous series Angel Sanctuary. Though of course I'm not really interested in reading more of her just yet, because I have in fact finished two of her series consecutively (the other is called Ludwig Kakumei, but isn't as good as Godchild). I adore her art, yes I do, but it's time I took a break from her dark stories.

Godchild tells the story of Count Cain Hargreaves and his quest to defy his father. Boring? Yeah, it's generic. The story of course is a lot less childish than the summary I give you, and it is certainly much more pwnsome than, say, NARUTO nowadays. (I have had a grudge against Kishimoto since Itachi was killed & Sasuke donned that HIDEOUS RAG, I won't lie.) The art style isn't what I'm used to. I usually like clean crisp lines, and very little toning and blurring, like Kuroshitsuji, but Kaori Yuki's style of extremely over-the-top detailing in ALL the clothing of the characters, and all the patience that must have been spent on the hair of some of the characters like this one is incredible. Her design of the people is amazing, and I adore her male characters just as much as I adore almost every single bloody character in bloody Kuroshitsuji.

Hello, you're still here! You can read Godchild on OneManga, and I'm sure I've seen it on a Borders' shelf somewhere. It had a previous series called Count Cain, but now that I've read the ending of the entire series, I'm not really interested in the series anymore.

It wasn't particularly riveting anyway, the Count Cain series.


** I just realized something. There are a grand total of EIGHT shounen-ai manga in Onemanga.com and including Godchild, I have completed FOUR. I read another TWO more halfway because they got too boring in the middle. The other TWO looks pretty interesting, and I have already planned to read one of them.

If that doesn't make me a shounen-ai/occasional yaoi fangirl, I don't know what does.
