AAAAAH! Much love to blackcatbone who took the time to drop me the link to scans for the Saiyuki Gaiden chapter in WARD. <3 <3 <3 I don't check LJ at all anymore (unless if you count random skims every couple of days that never go beyond the first page), so I never would have found this otherwise. ♥

I sort of just keeled over when I got to the latter pages. The Goku fangirl in me still lives. :P Well heck, the inner Sanzou/Goku fangirl still lives. I'm really not going to attempt to be coherent right now. But. So. Much. Love. And I wouldn't have thought, cause I've all but stopped following the series for a while now. Nothing still beats the chapter where Goku's diadem breaks (fangirled so much then yes I am shameless), but there is a reason why I love the Saiyuki Gaiden chapters.

Since the page, bandwidth and scans are not mine, you must hunt down the link to the scans somewhere on the above post, but it's not hard to find. Also, would anyone be willing to do chapter translations? ;_;

I now go to sleep a very happy fangirl. What a thing to get my attention back to something fandom/series related. <3

P.S. I have only just realized that I have about a month's worth of unread LJ comments on my inbox. I don't know how this happened, I was pretty sure I read all my mail, but I must have clicked on it and then forgot about it before I read it so... Though I'm not really surprised, I can be very inattentive when my interest is focused elsewhere. Will reply to all of them tomorrow, so don't be surprised if I reply to a month old comment.

AAH! More Saiyuki Gaiden chapters finally. Printed on the July issue of Zero-Sum. *_* Must. Get. Don't have money to subscribe, but omfg, if someone knows anyone scanning the pages in I will love you forever. *starts stalking Saiyuki comms* Or if anyone is willing to scan the pages in I will love you even more. I mean.. I'm sure some Loveless fans on my flist is subscribed to ZS? *hopeful* I RETURN TO STALKING CAT'S DREAMS NOW.

WHAT?! What!? Apparently Saiyuki Gaiden printed in WARD (Zero Sum's sister publication) and not in Z-S itself. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO STALK. WOE.

This also reminds me how very behind I am with the Saiyuki manga. I stopped following in the middle of the Against the Stream arc, so I'm a long ways behind and have no idea who these people are in the most recent Reload chapters I'm seeing. But, don't care. Want to see the Gaiden chapter. ;_;

Screencaps galore. 55 caps, that's a total of a 3.1mb download if you click on that LJ cut.

Mostly of the Kougaiji-tachi, because we'll get lots of chances to ogle the Sanzou-ikkou in the future. And becaue Dokugakuji completely owns me. <3 No summaries and witty commentary here. Just caps, because I'm much too lazy for anything else after having capped them.

( Where you get to see a lot of Kougaiji and Doku... and there's Nii and his bunny! )

The ZeroSum website confirms the Saiyuki Reload tv series.

Kagenami also has the news on her site as well as scans of the new character designs published on the September ZeroSum.

(This is the exact same post I posted last night, except I've edited the fic some, which I hope I managed to take down fast enough so that nobody actually got to read it. It's still botched in some parts, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to fix it.)

*purrs* sweetie_fiend has posted just about the most purrfilicious Draco fanart I've seen in a long while. It's that V-neck ivy league shirt and that bloody tie, see. geilheit, if you ever get around to going back online anytime this year (you know, just maybe?) you'd better go take a looksee. Because I know you'll love that shirt, even what little that you can see of it.

And you know, this is only because I couldn't help it. No matter how completely off kilter canon it may seem to be. I blame it on SF really, for her comment on Birth stating that her continuity circuits point out that Goku was born at night (saw the full moon, and thought it was the sun). I'd dedicate it to her, but she won't get to read this unless if I post it on FF.net where she can actually find it. But you know, this is all her fault.

( It will be awhile before I can write Saiyuki fic that isn't Goku-centric )

Translation for the Saiyuki Gaiden installment in the March Zero-Sum. Konzen and Goku goodness. There is a reason why I like Konzen more than Sanzou.

Kanzeon: Don't have any regrets now.
Kanzeon's voice: (in flashback) Can you be the sun for that little guy?
Konzen: (thinks) No. I'm not anyone's sun. It's the other way round...
Gokuu's voice: (in flashback) Hey, it's so shiny!
Konzen: (thinks) The one who's the sun---
Konzen: (aloud) I won't have any regrets.
