DN 38. This series make me love it more AND more each week. Raito shows us his temper, L shows us his moves. Really good kick. Does anyone know what sort of martial art L did, or was it just something random that he picked up? Anyways, L had the most disgruntled look in this chapter. His cheeks seem to bulge out more than usual when he is stuffing his face full of cake. Actually, he remind me of a chipmunk. Don't ask.

But dude, Raito can do the throw really well, and L's kick! OMFG! L's KICK!

Their choice of fighting style does say a lot about their personality, even if the fight did deteriorate into a punch up -_-;; Hmm, maybe I should stop analysing it, but I CAN'T help it. NOT when Raito is a close body contact type of fighter, and L is teh long range type. It says a lot. It -really- does. Or the fact that L eventually get annoyed enough to get into close contact and attempt to punch Raito's face in ^^;; It's sort of cute.

I have read way too much shounen fight series NOT to analyse a character's fighting style (and the psych text books about body language doesn't hurt). It's fascinating. Now, if L suddenly pick up some sort of long range weapon, and Raito picks up some form of magical gauntlet, we can have DEATHNOTE: SHOUNEN FIGHT SERIES!

Oh. The mind bleed.

Okies, off to edit Mkt. Plan, and then SLEEP!

OMG, they are toying with us again. >:o Yeah, now L and Raito are going to start duing wuxia-ish moves (hey, they already introduced the supernatural. Now everyone is going to start getting special powerz). Shades of Excel Saga, almost. (I, Ooba Tsugumi, hereby give permission to make Death Note a.... etc.)

OMG! You are a genius! I did not see the Excel Saga link until you mentioned it. But you are right, you get the distinct feeling that Ooba Tsugumi is waiting for the doujin and the fanfics to come pouring in. The way she wants it. It's almost like 'Look, I'm the mangaka so I can't go all AU, but I'm giving you hints, so dammit write fics, draw doujin to amuse me.' I'd really like to know what she thinks of the fans in general, and just how aware is she of the fanbase?

I half expected Naruto characters to pop into this chapter -_-;; I'm just falling for this series more more, because it is almost as if I have discovered a mangaka with a similar sense of humour as me (self-delusion on my part is purely acceptable). CAN'T WAIT for 39!!

DN is the only series I'm following these days. I'm so glad ^_^

XD I have no idea. (We really have no idea who Ooba Tsugumi really is, strangely. It is quite mysterious, but I lack the JP skills to investigate further. Rumour has it that the name is a pseud.)

Yes! "In this episode, this shall be a ninja manga!" And then we see them rappelling into the Kira^3 HQ, in ninja outfits. (Oh, and Misa can cosplay as Sakura--please, it works, 3 person Naruto teams. If they can reference PoT and make Light and L unexpectedly good at punching one another, why not ninjitsu?)

Hmm, I'm following DN, Naruto, PoT, Bleach. I was sorta following SK, but it ended in WTF. I may start up on FujiRyuu's new series, though.

The lack of info is intriguing. I wouldn't be surprised about the pseud.

It DOES WORK! I keep on hoping that they'd do another spoof cover for DN, and have the DN cast cosplaying characters fron different shounen series. I think Naruto would be a hoot. Big-eyed Raito will have to be Naruto, and L will have to be Sasuke, and Misa is SAKURA!!! (except with more leather). Oh, the PoT chapter, that made me laugh so damn hard. And using Shurikans and Jutsu! ..... I can see L attempting to use a Jutsu with his hand gestures, and the way he holds things.... someone so NEED to do a fusion, or something about them cosplaying.

Naruto is becoming painful, I shall wait until further notice, Bleach, I wait till it is released in volumes, and PoT, I'm waiting for the NAtionals to begin properly. As for SK... pretty much WTF. YES!! FujiRyuu's NEW WORK! I have heard about it but I know NOTHING!

IT IS CALLED WAQ WAQ. AND APPARENTLY HAS GIANT JYOKA-LIKE ROBOTS.

AND THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW!

BITCH! You made L's boxers icon BEFORE I had the chance! Damn You!

....

It just means that when I get the chance I'm gonna be making Raito's chest icons.

Neither would I. I'm just continuing to wonder.

Yes.... Although Light is more like Sasuke in style and personality (but it's messed up because there is no L-like chara in Naruto). I wouldn't be surprised if there was already fanart.

Essentially, in Naruto, something important only happens once every month. The rest is just fight scenes. I wonder what happened this week in PoT? It remains to be seen how long it will take to nationals (I would guess a week or two, but in manga time, this can be three years XD). I've heard some things about Waq Waq, but I forgot them.

Figures L would retaliate with a kick. I think Tae Kwon Do is mentioned? Which would make sense, since this style utilizes a lot of kicks. Apparently so too do Southern China art styles, how true this is I do not know.

But sad to say, I was most facinated by L's semi-exposed back. Ah ah ah, the temperature of the room suddenly rose. *puzzled*

On the fan side of things, this herald's interesting poses for cosplay. Hm.

(come to think of it, Death Note; Survival Horror Series. We could just give them both the {_rusty_pipe](s) and let them duke it out.)

That makes sense. I kept on wondering why the moves looked familiar but couldn't put my finger on it. But ohhh, Death Note goes ALL WuXia ^_^

^__^ Well L's back is nice and exposed, and yes nice.... I see what you mean about the temperature.

Hehehe.

Dude, DON'T let them duke it out, LET them be on the SAME team. In SILENT HILL! DIE STUPID DOGS OF DOOM! Hell, with L's and Raito's brain, the puzzles would be a piece of cake. The only I'd be worried about is Raito suddenly deciding to somehow attempt to utilise the creatures in Silent Hill for Worl DOmination, and L going after the babies, 'cos you know they're sort of fascinating ^^:;;

Man, don't DO that to my brain. Wuxia... ><; My parents are going back to China at the end of the year, and they were pretty hyped up about going to where Tian Long Ba Bu was filmed. They are such kids at times.

I'm like. BOXERS. BOXERS. He'd be such a boxers guy. Eh.

OMG..=_= SH would be...a wonderland for those kids. The babies. OMFG THE BABIES. *empties whole clips at them* But L and Raito on the same team would be, yeah they'd top -that-.

Hm, doujinshi are a vague indicator of how popular a series is with a certain audience, so it's skewed, but for some reason seems to be rather accurate with JUMP series. Was browsing through jahoo, there's about 300+ doujins up on the auction, all to Death Note, which is quite respectable for a newish sorta series. Take into account POT has 3000+ doujins up there though. ><;;;

Dude, is Deathnote just a manga, or is it an anime, too?
