Antique Bakery, Sex Pistols, and Saiyuki. And health whining.

I have come to the sad conclusion that my immune system has up and died on me. I've has some type of flu/cold every single month since about Christmas, and I'm getting heartily sick of it, no pun intended. Dear World: It's summer. Flu/cold season is supposed to be over now. Agh. Being the hypochondriac that I am, I have of course decided that I have developed some horrible syndrome that has destroyed my immune system and now I'll have to spend the rest of my short life in a plastic bubble. But then, everyone else I know seems to be sick just as frequently as I am, and we're all complaining about how often we've had flus this year. So I don't know. Perhaps I'll postpone the bubble-ordering.

Onto slightly more interesting topics. I've been gleefully reading and rereading a whole bunch of manga lately. Aside from Sex Pistols, which I already mentioned and which is the most fabulous crack I've ever seen, I've finally caught up on Antique Bakery. I read the first bit of the series some time ago, and didn't really get into, but I've tried it again recently, and it's fantastic. Oh my goodness. I love this. *dies* Ono is the most wonderful character ever, but I adore everyone. The only problem is that I get hungry whenever I read it. Now I want cake. Mmm. I read the first two volume scanlations, and now I want to read volume three, but tragically I'm kinda broke right now, so I'll have to wait a few weeks to buy it. Woe.

Speaking of money, I dropped my last few dollars on Saiyuki Reload 4. ( Cut for slight spoilers )

Deaged Umeda. ♥ Aw. He's so cute! What happened?!

Who do you think of naked? The classic question.

Deaged Wolfwood. Hee. This looks funny now that Wolfwood-mun has chaned the icons. Still, cute.

Oscar conjectures about a camp movie. Okay, so I'm mostly just linking this thread because of the Gwendal/Wolfwood interaction. Hush, I can't help the fact that they're cute.

More deaged Wolfwood. Also cute, and also unintentionally-funny due to the icons.

Goku is thesaurus'd. *snorts*

Anya attempts to use her revenge-demon powers. It doesn't work out so well.

Ask the Houshi, Installment 22. Greatest advice-column answer. Ever. XD

Boobies! Wolfram-harrassment is a hallowed pastime of camp, dammit.

Umeda returns to his normal age with a stirring speech. Lots of funny in the comments.

The plot thickens. Gwendal! D:
