Saint Young Man 26. So the holy beings are Bond fans, eh? The otter was a surreal touch, but I chuckled at how Jesus worries about fanfares beginning films, because his angels get overexcited. And bless God not being able to text very well!

Genshiken Nidaime 101-102: I have to say, I’ve started really not enjoying this Madarame harem. It’s gone a bit far to really be believable, and has reached the awkward stage, especially with Madarame leaning towards Haato. I like Haato a lot and want him to be happy, but I think neither he nor Madarame see the other as a real person. So perhaps this change of direction with the cabaret club and Sasahara’s sister will head in a good direction. We’ll see.

1/2 Prince 60-61: Looks like translation is in full flow now! There are actually 8 more chapters already translated. This will do for now, though: there’s been a pretty major turn in the plot and what seemed like a double-chapter, so it felt like a natural place to stop. After looking more like Link than ever before, Prince confronted the Dictator for Life, and found he was being controlled. After the most homoerotic scene yet. Conveniently – given it really gained him nothing – the true bad guy revealed himself, but the main characters were sent out of the game again. We had the fun of seeing lots of minor characters’ real-life faces, which would have been better still if, y’know, I could remember who half of them were.
