andraste: The reason half the internet imagines me as Patrick Stewart. (Default)
Me: Well, hey, my friends reminded me that I feel like reading Saiyuki again! But maybe before I plunge into a complete re-read, I should just catch up on those three chapters I haven't read yet ...

Kazuya Minekura: *is evil genius*

Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! *is broken forever*

... I am torn between wanting her to get on with this as quickly as her health allows, and not wanting to see all the horrible things that seem likely to be in store for the ending. (At the very least, we seem to be into the final third of the story now. Although given that it's taken seventeen years or so to get to this point, the conclusion could still be a ways off.)

Despite having been a Saiyuki fan since 2002, I'd never read Saiyuki Gaiden until this week. I was reading the manga in its official English release until TokyoPop went belly-up, and they never translated Gaiden. Also, I knew it would be sad.

However, I've now finished re-reading all of the official main series translations and, uh, acquired the remaining chapters. There was really nothing for it but to finally read the tragic backstory.

It is really sad. But not quite as hopeless as I thought it might be when I was half way through.

Spoilers for things that happened five hundred years ago. )
