I can bring out gollum on oppurtune times.
*jumps for joy* I just went to the mall the other day, and wasn't even going for manga. Guess what I saw on the dispaly rack! Rurouni Kenshin 10 AND 11! I just had to get them. I am so happy, 'cause i was losing faith in my bookstore. The books are really good and i noticed they quit using those drawing not done by Watsuki on the back. The new design is cool. I love paintings.
What's with the broomhead guy? I wonder if yu can really have your hair that way. I guess wires, or suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper gel. Kenshin's teacher is sure full of himself, in both books. How could Kenshin stand him? I guess I really shouldn't post stuff about the 11th yet. It would spoil it for some.

Who, Hiko?

Yeah in the OVAs he was full of himself too...plus he was sort of mean to Kenshin...*bites*

Dude, Hiko rocks. I love it when he teaches Kenshin the final attack.

And if you guys love it thus far, you're in for a REAL treat when we get the GRAND FINALE of the Kenshin saga as Watsuki envisioned it in....the JINCHUU ARC!

If you have questions on it, ask and I'll answer what I know. Let me just say that we are in for a REAL treat. :-)

Ah so then Kenshin was lying when he said that he was battousai and knew EVERYTHING about hiten mitsurugi ryu. ;)

Hiko's so weird, in the OAV he's like "I am a master swordsman, you are lucky to be my pupil." Oi..........:eyeroll:

Got vol. 10! Wow, wasn't expecting Kenshin to not be all-knowing... he didn't master hiten metsurugi afterall. I was upset that they ended it at that cliffhanger though!

Heh, I know how you feel. I was just jealous of some certain people a while ago for having ten. :hits_self It's silly, I know, but what i did was busy myself with other things.

I just got Volume 11 today. Very interesting but it left me wanting more. Finished it in an hour or so.

One thing, though, which I can't figure out. On the opposite page after Hiko says he will train Kenshin in HMR's final technique, he gives this line: "After all, Shishio mustn't be left as the only Hiten Mitsurugi student."

I've read elsewhere that this is a mistranslation and should be something like "As a Hiten Mitsurugi swordsman, I can't let Shishio take of this country", but is there any way the comment makes sense the way we have it translated that I'm not seeing?

Shishio might have been a student, though I don't believe he was...although he was Battousai's successor.

I'm waiting for more Battousai parts. I'm majorly in love with Battousai after watching those OVAs...:drool:

I got 12 a couple of weeks ago.(?) Wow! That was so cool. But as with these last few books, it leaves with a feeling of wanting more in the story. He's very good at that! :lol: (don't ask)
"Shinta", okay what does that mean? I gotta know. Ch, just if ya know.

That picture with Hiko's cloak on Kenshin made me laugh so hard I had some weird stares from my family. I just don't think it fits for some strange reason.
It was good to see Kaoru actually in her gi and hakama for once in a long time, even if you didn't see her fight.
Okay, i'll post more when I have more time...

I just got 13 on Wednesday! Hah! I bet y'all hate this one now.
I liked the fallen priest! Why did he have to go so bad? (he's Fallen)

I know he's not real and all, but I so wanted to tell him the truth of Christ, so he could really "save the world". Man, I cried!

13 allready? *dies* Hmm. My last Shonen Jump should come in now that I think about it. I need about $40 now... I miss the California tax. In NY it's like 8.25%. All my calculations are messed up now.

*can't believe she hasn't posted in here yet*

i'm planning, if Borders or Hastings has it, on getting 13 this weekend. Barnes and Noble where i live has maybe 30 volumes of manga total in the whole store, and that's being generous in my estimation. one thing i like about living where i do is that there is no sales tax. *evil grin* which makes my pocketbook appreciate my manga buying a whole lot more.

just how many volumes of RK are there? i've heard varying numbers from different people and am curious...

*leaves to go re-read 12 to refresh memory before getting 13*
