the pain of liking old manga. yeah, this is completely petty, I know.

I really want a translation of the rest of Igarashi Yumiko's Paros no Ken.

Maybe one day I'll manage to bribe someone into giving me one, but until then, I'll be over here with raw scans and vague plot summaries. Has anyone read it? Is it actually as awesome as it sounds? Because it sounds awesome. Of all the untranslated but interesting-sounding things I've encountered during my exploration, this is right up near the top of the "want to know more" list. ....HUH. apparently it IS all scanlated and I just... somehow missed half of it? NEVER MIND.

P.S. For those of you following my Sailor Moon progress with baited breath (no, really, I get the feeling that crystal actually is), I've finished season one and am getting ready to watch R. well, the bits that I've been advised to watch, anyway.

What's it about?

There's a summary here - it's an 80s story about a princess. in armour. :D It feels like it fits into that whole line of crossdressing stories which I'm so fond of, basically.

Ohh, what did you think, what did you think?
The bits with the Ayakashi Sisters (the first suite of the Black Moon saga of R) is also full of filler, but I don't know it as well. Rubeus is a wonderful villain to hate, tho, and there are plot revelationsh here and there. Wikipedia might help guide you =)

=D I am not ashamed to say that I am!

Tell me when you get to S.
