Sweeeet!

Dark Horse is publishing Hiroaki Samura's Ohikkoshi, a collection of short stories, in October. Sweet! *eyes Amazon pre-order button speculatively*

Samura being the mangaka of Blade of the Immortal, natch. Mello doesn't hate Samura as much as he hates everything else.

I finally caved and bought the first five volumes of Blade of the Immortal. I can therefore receive this news with the amount of excitement it deserves. *joins in eyeing pre-order button*

Wooooo!

I have more then eyed it now. I have wielded the Click of Doom and purchased it.

And added a $30 book of photos of artist's models in perspective, so that I would save $5 on the shipping. I have my priorities.

I'm moving into my own place soon and I've had to cut back a little on my purchases, but it'll be on my Christmas wishlist for sure. Along with the rest of Blade of the Immortal.

I may have to talk to my 'friend in low places' about that one...

mello who hates everything reminds me of a gangster character in diva, who hates carparks and fairs and singing and everything, really, and that was basically his only dialogue.

:D

Mello hates carparks and fairs and singing, too. I'm sure he doesn't hate everything - he does love chocolate, and plotting, and applying a bit of the old ultra-violence when called for, and getting other people to do his dirty work for him. But he does hate you. And you. And you. And especially you.

p.s. i highly recommend diva. :D

Mello knows your secret, that you are actually a small corporation dedicated to overthrowing the world. Mello does not have a problem with this, and in fact rather admires this aim, except that he is also, personally, dedicated to overthrowing the world and sees that there is probably a potential conflict of interest. He hates, but with a modicum of respect. Only a modicum, however, because the only person he respects is L. He'll never admit to respecting Near. Sometimes. On occasion. Almost enver.

one of me is possibly arranging to find out how much mello can be bought for to be kept silence. perhaps we are arranging an inconvenient fire someplace--

Mello cannot be bought. Mello, however, is almost always amenable to working out a deal.

I've been looking forward to a translation of Ohikkoshi for years, literally, just on the basis of one scanslated chapter. I'm probably going to combine the purchase with volume 16 of BotI (due Nov 8), so I can have a mind-blowing Samura-gasm when the package arrives. :D Yeah, it's been too long since DH put out anything of his!

Sweet! I'd noticed that title while mucking around in publisher's catalogs, and I put it on my list of stuff to special order, but I didn't realize it was new.

I ♥ Dark Horse, even if they do only publish zombie samurai assassin manga.
