RIFF/CAIN FOREVAH

[laceblade]

OMG I JUST FINISHED VOLUME 6!!!

I hope to one day write coherently about the Cain/Godchild saga by Kaori Yuki.

For now, this is what I have to say:

OMG VICTORIAN ENGLAND! RUFFLES! LACE! BOWS! DOLLS! SADISTIC TURNS ON NURSERY RHYMES! BIBLICAL OVERTONES! INCEST! SECRET SOCIETIES! A COLLECTION OF POISONS IN GLASS JARS! A MANGA-KA'S ART STYLE THAT STARTS OUT OKAY AND MORPHS INTO HELLA AWESOME AMAZING!

EARL CAIN AND HIS BUTLER RIFF! ONLY RIFF IS ALLOWED TO TOUCH THE SCARS ON HIS BACK! ONLY RIFF WILL EVER TRULY UNDERSTAND CAIN, THE MAN WHO CLAIMS TO HATE EVERYONE ELSE AND HAS BEEN CURSED TO NEVER BE LOVED!

I keep reading this on the bus to/from work and it's really difficult to not throw my head back and cackle every time I turn the page.



DO NOT SPOIL ME PAST VOLUME 6 OR I WILL END YOU.


I want Riff/Cain icon, but I'm too afraid to look right now. Only two volumes to go and I am not spoiled yet!!

Eventually, we all lose the ability to do anything but say "THESE SCARS...THAT ONLY YOU CAN TOUCH!!"

I love how the ultimate insult in volume 6 was FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO TIE YOUR SHOES. Rehehehehe!!

Is Angel Sanctuary more or less heinous? It's going to be hard to beat gay Victorian men in suits!

School of flying whales. Sword with a secret identity who is in love with God's favorite daughter who led Heaven's armies. Archangel who angsted himself mute.
