I've seen you commenting in some other journals I read over the past few months, and when I finally blitzed Death Note two weeks ago, and got to the Mello panel that you commonly use as an icon, I had this moment of "wait a minute... that's that crazyperson icon that that person was using... who was it now..." and re-looked up your journal, found that you had written quite a bit on Death Note and other subjects, and that you were also interested in composition. (The thing that I think sets your average manga apart from your average American comic is not so much quality of the art in general as, specifically, dynamic composition...)

So. Yeah. Came for the icon, stayed for the analyses.

As for me? I'm a grad student. Literary analysis and critical theory. Dabble in manga analysis, but haven't published any yet. Dabble in drawing comics, and more than dabble in writing. Friend people at random. (hi.)
