3x3 Eyes vol.12 summary:


	After realizing that Kaiyanwan is still alive in the end of volume 11, 
Pai and Yakumo realized that they no longer had the luxury of time.  What's
worse, is that Pai figured Kaiyanwan has already been freed from the sacred
stone.  They're determined to confront Benares before Kaiyanwan fully revives.
The most reliable source of info on Benares would be from Ayanokoji Pai, since
she is the "Hua-Ser" (Imitating Snake) that was under Benares' command.  Well,
she doesn't remember anything (from book 5), and Yakumo is reluctant to remind
her of what happened.  So all they were doing was just following her.  In the
mean while, because of the 300 year seal, Kaiyanwan's physical body has
deteriated drastically.  At that current rate, Kaiyanwan's body will be 
completely ruined in a half a year's time.  Benares is in a hurry to find
the 3rd Sanjiyan so there will be a chance to save Kaiyanwan (The title of
the book is finally becoming clear here).  Another evil creature under his
command, Spasuku, feels that allowing Ayanokoji to be close to Pai and Yakumo
may be a potential threat, since the deep part of her memory still retains
the information about Benares' location and several other things.  Benares
feels that he doesn't have time to waste on Pai and Yakumo, and decided to
leave them until they find the third Sanjiyan.  Spasuku decides to wipe out
the potential threat first, so he mind controls Ayanokoji to kill Yakumo.
After the incidence, Ayanokoji has all her memories back, but she would not
tell Yakumo where Benares is.  Yakumo clearly has no chance against Benares 
at this moment, so Ayanokoji promises to tell him Benares' location after
Yakumo becomes powerful enough to confront Benares.  The interesting info 
revealed in the end is that a magic user managed to put Benares in seal 
hundreds of years ago in Wales.  Spasuku's hand then reveals that the magic
caster in question was Madurai (From book 10&11, Wu of Parvati III).  It
would be worthwhile to find Madurai's descendant to see if any of the spells
have been left behind, and so to UK they go.

I have been reading Raika for a while now, and my local comic supplier told me
that Raika is in fact Korean. He may have been missinformed, but that is what he
said. Anyone know for sure.

This sounds like the Kingyou Chuihou! anime.. except that I think the
manga was targeted at that age group, too.  :-)  (But I like it anyway.)

I'm wondering what Saitou Chiho's stuff is like, since I heard of
"Saitou Chiho's Manga Academy" -- apparently a very comprehensive
how-to-manga book.  (1990, Y780).  Worth getting?

Yes, but non-adult reading does not equal worthless reading. :-)

How about adding that synopsis of vol 12 that was on the net just recently?
Personally I like that level of coverage for some of the manga that has
enough action to follow *what* is happening but just need the *why* it is
happening [this make sense?].  If anyone is hording that sort of synopsis
could they post some of them pretty please? Any manga would be interesting,
maybe it will help people decide whether to pick something up.  Hey I'd
like synopsis of the first few compolitions of Bannana Fish :-)

not necessary always in that order, usually, one of the title is rotated
to have color pages each publication, and that specific title will usually
get the Vanguard position, and whatever the new title that the publisher
feel need hyping will get front spot, too.  Sometimes big name title

if they can top the Feb 1992 Chen Wen 4 color pages, then I got to see it.

just because a manga title is dramatice, artistic, thoughtful, and offer

There is no Ghost in the Shell translation on the net, at least none
that has been posted here.  The closest thing would have to be the
discussion that took place in alt.manga just after its release.

(I know that Patrick Yip WAS going to translate at least SOME of GiS,
even though he's aware that an official translation is only about a
year away.  Last I heard, those plans have evaporated, and I can't blame
him -- he translated a vast amount of manga and did not, as far as I know,
get a single word of thanks or acknowledgement.  Then again, Real net
translators don't do it for the adulation, they do it because they want
to. :-)

(However, Patrick no longer reads r.a.m, for reasons best
known to himself.  If people are waiting for his return, they better
start waiting for something else. :-)   Come to think of it, Tonghyun Kim
and Lesfeena Lee don't post much anymore either.  Some people who post
here (or used to) are genuine godsends to the manga-deprived, I hope they
know that...)

On the subject of Shirow, Comic Gaia 12 had a color story of his called
Exon Depot -- anyone know if this is an ongoing series?

As for Akira, there won't be anything new for months.  I won't expect
the Japanese vol.6 to be released until June at the earliest, at the
rate Otomo is going at the moment.  (He had about 200-250 pages left
to draw starting from when Floyd smashed onto the carrier.)  I'll
post the moment I hear any news.  (If anyone else has any, go right
ahead, plz...)

I posted a synopsis + part translation of the original ending, did
anyone read it? :-)  There was a kind gent at Stanford who was going
to scan the entire last 48 pages of the original ending, but he hasn't
answered my email for months.

WHERE IS ASAMIYA?!?!?  I thought AX was getting Asamiya!  I was expecting
Asamiya!  I was making up the bash-Asamiya-manga-questions-100 when I got
this news.  Now to avoid a subject beaten to death on f.r.c./r.a.m./a.m./

SUPPOSE TO KNOW ABOUT?  Does that mean Kikuchi is coming and Asamiya isn't
because he can't because he's here?  Mike, do you know something we don't?

Current Asamiya/Kikuchi theories are:

1) They are two completely unaffiliated individuals who, due to similarities
   of styles, are often confused as one another.

   (I know, very boring.)


2) Asa/Ki are in fact the same person, who is ashamed to be a manga artist
   and hence using a pen name.  (On NewType, Ki.'s personal data are usually 
   more detailed than Asa's.)

   ("Confirmed" on separate occasions by Lea H. and Mikimoto.  But what do
   they know?)


3) Asamiya is not a single person, but in fact a collection of artists similar
   to CLAMP.  Kikuchi happens to enjoy a particularly successful solo career,
   and is now the brightest star in the constellation.

   (The running theory from fj.rec.comics.)


4) Childhood friends, ninja doubles, and other miscellaneous theories....

I just picked up the first of the Dark Horse translation of Hisashi
Sakaguchi's Version.  Quite fun to read a tale of a Japanese detective who
is hired to find someone who had disappeared in the Australian Outback.

Of course so far there was only one "Australian" in it.  He's the pilot of
the light plane that flys Mitsuru Happo (the detective) into the outback.
Mind you he appears in one small panel and says "A Wot?!?"  Looks more like
an Italian than an Australian :-)  Everyone else is Japanese...

Most of the airstrips I've flown into outback don't have made strips, most
are only cleared ground with rocks marking the edge.   They are usually
near homesteads or mining towns not in the middle of nowhere... (honest). 
[Actually the funny bit about this section is that the terminal building
has airconditioning but no powerlines in nor a generator building nearby.

As for "rotgut Australian Whiskey" judging by the bottle he was drinking
Bundaberg Rum... which has been known to generate hallucinations :-)

My current favorites classified as shohjo mangas are:
(in no particular order)

RG VEDA by CLAMP
X by CLAMP
Boku No Chikyuu wo Mamotte (Please Save My Earth) by Hiwatari Saki
Banana Fish by Yoshida Akiyo
PALM series by Shin Tamaki
Kanatakara (From Beyond) by Hikawa Kyohko
Hanasakeru SieSyounen by the same author as OZ, which was made into
 OAV recently
Tomoe Ga Yuku (There Goes Tomoe) by the same author who's doing BASARA
 currently.
Dark Green, Nayuta, or Aoi Ryu no Tani (Valley of the Blue Dragons) by
 Sasaki Junko has some of the most heavy and mind-boggling sci-fi
 concepts.

and more.  I'd know the names of all the author I couldn't name above,
but that's  because my memory is a fuzzy sponge.  

Also, Kakinouchi Narumi's Miyu series seem to be making rounds in
the U.S. readers, but you might want to try out Hagio Moto's
Poe no Ichizoku (Clan of Poe) which was out more than 10? years ago
but still beautiful and wonderful to read.  Vampire story that has
captured the imaginations and even Kakinouchi admits that she wanted
to make Miyu stories kind of like a reflection of Poe.  In Poe, you
see one of the most saddest main character who, at the same time,
belongs the the world of "darkness".
 

There are more good shohjo mangas.  It's a misconception that they're
all romantic doodles.  I admit there are LOTS of it, but that's if you're
reading "elementary and middle-school" targetted shohjo mangas.
And, "romanticism" is to shohjo manga as "violence and extreme nudity" is
to shonen manga.  But "romanticism" does not equal "shit story".  I would
say otherwise.  Try reading PSME.  It's very down-keyed, but one of the
most complex stories in terms of expressing the light and dark of human
nature.

the Chinese mob story), how do I know?  I read someone else's

Terasawa simply give up writting more, and whatever left is not enought

I never read the wide edition, if the end of the wide book #3 is 
about a cross country race, then you already have that materials.

(the last 2 stories on small book #4, is about this mad female who can
