thanks for the link! Much love and appreciation. ^^v
But, I’d just like to correct that it’s Otaku Champloo not samurai champloo. ^^;; ehehehe… ^^;;
Le Chevalier d’Eon — wow, he gave this book a great review. I’m still a little mixed on exactly what type of book this is but it is well done despite some flaws.
Sorry! I’ll fix it right now. I’m on vacation right now, and apparently my brain is too.
Thanks for fixing it~
I thought the artwork for the Chevalier manga was a little awkward in places, but it’s an enjoyable read. I liked it better than the anime, which introduced so many characters and subplots that I had trouble differentiating them, and somehow managed to make the Russian monarchy look… dull.
