wah! the chapters keep on getting better
Man, Oh! Great is just piling on the drama. Sooooo much anticipation for the next chapter... Shin is gonna go berserk big time. That Fu Chien is quite a nasty guy. Wonder if he'll have to fight Shin...
What's up with that back cover? Mana and... a big fish? in a cage? not a fish tank? what? the imagery is beyond me. anyone care to explain?
I'm really lovin the intro art though. especially the red color of Isuzu's hair.
Feels like reading these recent chapters has left me breathless.
K, enough spouting of fanboy adoration from me for today.

The back cover of recent issues have all featured a character, and an animal. Often, they are not "real" - the panther with Takayanagi Masataka, for example, was kind of a "spirit".
My guess is that the fish is Emi's spirit familiar. By the way, her mentor, Kuzunoha Mana, has the kanji for "fish" in her name (Mana.)

Those animals are probably 'totems'. Mitsuomi's a lion, Aya and Nagi are both dragons (whatever that says about their future), Masataka's a panther/leopard, Maya's a tiger. No idea about Bob and the rest.
And just to note: that's Fu Chi-en, 3 syllables.

Ohhh, yes. And it'll make you toss your cookies. I still can't read that particular bit without a shiver down my spine...That Fu Chien is quite a nasty guy. Wonder if he'll have to fight Shin...

When I first read that bit, it took me a few minutes (literally) to realize what had happened... So ... nasty.Agent_Wax wrote:Ohhh, yes. And it'll make you toss your cookies.

Fu Chi'en is spelled that way because of the extra syllable. I think that is a standard orthographic convention?
Well, I don't know what the standard is, but since Fu is chinese, and most chinese would have three characters/syllables to their name (the first one being the surname/family name). Some people write their names (in phonetic english) in 2 words (eg. Zhang Ziyi; even though it's 3 characters). Others prefer to put a '-' between the 2nd and 3rd characters/syllables (eg. Chow Yun-Fat). "Fu Chi'en" would work, but "Fu Chien" would probably be a different pronunciation, with different Kanji characters.

and the fact he didn't even notice at first... though you'd figure working for the Takayanagi family Fu Chi'en would know better
