Saiyuki and such
I've been on a big Saiyuki kick lately...re-reading the manga for the third time in a few weeks. It's very rare that a manga series has both aesthetic and plot appeal. The characters are so well-developed and Minekura has managed to create a depth to the story using those characters that I think many other manga series lack.

Another reason why I'm re-reading it is because I've come to the conclusion that there's something more between Gojyo and Hakkai than the series lets on. I know, I know, the same can be said of any number of pairings in the series..I've heard Saiyuki described as "the most slashable non-slash manga". But I honestly believe Minekura is hinting at something more between Gojyo and Hakkai. Just simple glances, or interactions. They're great friends, obviously, but I just can't help seeing something more.

And I think it's sweet, gosh darn it.

Saiyuki is awesome.
