X/1999, Vol. 13: Lament

This series is getting better and better. Kamui and Fuma, do I need to say more? We get hurting & threatening and touching & licking, it is almost erotic. But that is my opinion. In this one a lot of drama and action, fantastic. Can't wait to read the rest!

Now for all those people who go 'blah blah blah, angst, great, blah blah' over the TV series, here's a volume every one of them should read to realize just how crappy the attempts at hurried plot/character development/angst-mania in that anime were.THIS is Clamp angst. This is what it was meant to be. *and trust me. This is NOTHING compared to volume 16. *kicks Viz some more* Hurry up, dammit!*Fans of stuff that makes you sniffle will thoroughly enjoy this. From the heartbreaking battle between Satsuki and Yuzuriha with its more than tragic outcome to the Karen side-story that reveals the pains of her childhood with her abusive uber-religious mother, it'll get the tear glands going.And a special treat for those of you who like more-or-less side characters. Yuuto FINALLY gets the special attention he needs, and breaks out with that bubbly personality that make his most dedicated fans cheer and applaud.I give it four stars because I'm waiting desperately for volume 16, and am a horridly obsessive Subaru-... He wasn't here, so it don't deserve 5 stars. Nanny nanny boo boo. :POther than the fact that, in my personal opinion, it needed my beautiful green-eyed onmyouji, a beautiful novel and one who's translations didn't make me want to flail desperately and beat my head into a wall.For once, I shall humbly applaud Viz.I'm not going to be like most reviewers and ruin the entire book for you by summarizing what happens in its pages. Pick it up.Just let me say this.If you at all like Yuzuriha, Karen, Aoki, Yuuto, Kusanagi *YAY, KUSA! FINALLY A FEW DECENT PAGES!!!* and teddy bears, and have been wanting to see more Kamui/Fuuma interaction with the DoH boy actually getting his panties in a twist enough to make stuff go boom, I have two words for you:Read it!
