Agreed and agreed, especially with that four page spread. Speaking of Sengoku Youku, its author, Mizukami Satoshi, happens to be one of my favorites. His other completed series, Spirit Circle, is imo at least as good as Sengoku Youku. The main character relives several of his past lives in order to discover why the girl that trasfers into his class declares him to be her enemy. His older series, "Hoshi no Samidare" aka "The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer", may not be as good as Sengoku Youku or Spirit Circle, but was still a very enjoyable read. Plus it has one of my favorite starts to a manga. Sorry for the long post. |
The whole thing with the Shogun was just so awesome. I admit to getting a little choked up with the poem (which was supposedly something he really said, I looked up the actual person). I just started the part with the Island and the cat (I LOVE THAT CAT).
That's the same mangaka that did The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer? I had absolutely no idea. Sengoku Youko is way better in my opinion, though I admit I dropped Biscuit Hammer after a short while. Except for the lizard, he was cool. The scenario was interesting but I couldn't stand the two main characters.
I'll certainly look up Spirit Circle. Thanks for the info.
