Awesometastic manga of awesomeness

[telophase]

No, I'm not yet telling you what it is, as it's still in the mail to rachelmanija. However, I want to collect guesses so I can make a poll before it's revealed. :D

So feel free to guess away at what this AWESOMETASTIC MANGA OF AWESOMENESS contains/is about/whatever. Hurry! I sent it Priority Mail (because I had a lot of Priority boxes and I can buy the postage online), so it'll only be a day or two before she gets it!

(My coworkers laughed at the sheer WTF?! of it also, when I showed them this morning. XD Gosh, there's a minor clue: I have no problems with showing it around at work. Also: it will never, ever be translated and sold in the US in the history of ever. Possibly nowhere other than Japan.)

I'm trying to think of what's crazier than a shounen competition manga about baking, or being raised by pigeons, or zombie cannibal angel embryos, or the hero's super-power is nose hair, and I am really coming up blank.

It's a shoujo harem manga where all the men wear glasses? A shounen competition manga to design Japan's craziest soft drink? The heroine was raised in a vending machine? The Adventures of Pole-Kisser?

I think when you see it, you'll sigh happily and say "Of course there would be a manga of this!" XD

I think "my right hand became a girl" is crazier than all of those, but it's already been done and sold in the US.

Completely unrelated to your post: I put a bunch of Arisia masquerade pictures up on flickr. You might be amused by this guy who, upon discovering that he'd left his documentation at home, pulled out his laptop to show the judges his source material.

Hee!

And I see he has Photoshop on his laptop. XD

It's an adaptation of a Jane Austen novel set at a county-fair, and the main characters are a pulling-horse who's loosing her job (and on the verge of being sent to the slaughter-house) to the transformer-tractor that secretly loves her but would be disinhereted if any of his (wealthy/influential/alien) family found out about his forbidden love.

HOW COULD YOU KNOW?!

I have no guesses, but I feel my icon best describes me reaction upon hearing "awesometastic manga of awesomeness".
The stuff you find never ceases to scare me/amuse me/fear for our future. ...And I love you for that. XD

I live to serve!

And frighten!

I cannot think of anything cracktastic enough! I mean, someone has already done cannibal merpeople and dinosaur/animal mpreg and all the things Rachel mentions.

XD You will be smacking your foreheads and saying "I would never have thought of that" after the reveal, I expect.

I'd put in a vote for the talking penis manga because it is full of awesome cracktasticness, but, well, I wouldn't show it to my coworkers.

That and I first saw scanlations of it several years ago, so it's unlikely that it would be that new to others.

I've talked abut that one here before, but it may have been before the advent of tags. XD (And I, uh, drew the Saiyuki characters as if they were in that manga, but I have no idea what the URL of that picture is, unfortunately. XD)

[weirdquark]

Sanzo would kill everything if he were in that manga. ::g::

A manga in which Florence Nightingale heals the wounds of a bishounen vampire and in the last chapter asks him to initiate her into the ways of vampirism, and even today they still walk the land being... uh, you know, vampire nurses/activists.

(There is at least one Florence Nightingale manga, and I am not buying it so I can pretend that stuff like that happens.)
