king of nabari; and moodthemes

[discombobulate]

So I've been reading Nabari no Ou. It's gooood~ The art is cute and the characters are all adorable and likeable. Yes, it's a series about ninjas, but it doesn't go the "ninjas are normal" route and instead paints the ninja world (the world of Nabari) as a sort of underground/mafia-esque/normal people don't know it exists kinda way. In any case, I fell in love (with Yukimi) about 40 chapters in, so don't be deterred if you find the main character a little boring or think Yoite should just host a pity party already.* Later on the characters gain a lot of depth; even the main character (he was struggling with ending his dependence streak for a while).

Anyway, what frustrates me most about this series is that no one seems to share my opinion! Yoite became annoying after a while. Miharu was a total shell and Yukimi is the coolest character since ever! I can't find any fanwork of him! It's all MiharuxYoite or YoitexMiharu. There's not even that much RaikouxGau! (Which is probably almost as canon as Kouichi+Raimei**) As for Thobari, well... I don't know what to say about him, I liked him a lot at the beginning but he didn't show up for around 30 chapters so I can't really say. There's only room for one father-figure-to-the-main-character in my heart, and that belongs to Yukimi, I'm afraid.

Only partly related is the fact that I noticed how many moodthemes I have; 12. Wow. I'm not sure which I should use because contemplating this John Stewart one (good for all occasions, naturally) over a rather plain Nabari no Ou one. I had originally included an Amatsuki one that I liked, but the pics were too small. :/

*I know I did. In retrospect, Yoite is an important character, I just don't think that he deserved such an incredible focus like he was given. I mean, 50 chapters? Really?

:O I started reading that once. I think I only have like 2 chapters on my computer though....

That cover art reminds me of Persona4 art :O

[discombobulate]

It's fun~! You should keep reading it, it's very sweet~

The art started off kinda wonky but now it's better, like the one I linked to with Yukimi~

[mortar.livejournal.com]

DID YOU KNOW I RP YUKIMI. AND I SHARE THE "WHERE IS THE FANBASE" QUESTION WITH YOU?

[discombobulate]

I DID NOT KNOW OMG. GIVE ME POINTERS. POINT ME TOWARD ICONS. SHARE THE LOVE.

wryyyyyyyyy, why is everyone so fucking Yoite and Miharu obsessed. stupid fandom B|

[mortar.livejournal.com]

LOL I made my own RP icons. I'm finishing up colouring them right now.

I like Miharu and Yoite but I like other characters more. But Yukimi's relationship with both of them is priceless. Have you gotten past chapter 50 yet?

[discombobulate]

I'm prolly gonna end up doing the same

Omg, yesssss. Yukimi is such a good daddy to them~ And the scene with Yukimi and his phantom limb pain? Gah, it hurts so bad when he tries to remember Yoite :(

[mortar.livejournal.com]

I have more, but they're not uploaded.

NNG I BROUGHT HIM IN RIGHT AFTER THE ARM THING, BUT NOT BEFORE HE FORGOT YOITE. And the place I was RPing at had a Miharu and Yoite. So Yukimi was basically bleeding to death on the street and buhhh they came and dfbsuidg

Bawww phantom limb painnnnnnnnnnnnn djifd

[discombobulate]

eeeeeee, your icons capture him so well. somehow, they're very yukimi

LOL that sounds pretty awesome. Link me to a thread~! I WANT MINE TO BE VERY RECENT SO HE CAN BE LIKE NNNNNNGH WHAT IS THIS PAIIIIINNNNNN. I wanna take him to ubau which has ghosts and a lot of plot and stuff. I-I kinda wanna see if I can literally give him a phantom limb. That would be amazing.
