OMGGG!! YAMI NO MATSUEI IS RESTARTING!!! WHOO!!!

It is the most epic of all manga that I've read. And in case it's not obvious enough, I AM IN LOVE WITH THE MANGA.

YAY!!!!!!!!

The mangaka went on an 8 year hiatus. And I almost lost hope... But seriously! THEY'RE BACK. And I am gonna marathon the manga again after the exams!

Haha! There are only a few characters in manga that actually influence my life. One is my first anime love, Trunks from DBZ/DBGT. XD It was because of him that I eventually fell in love with anime/manga itself. And my ideal type of boyfriend is also sort of based off his character. ^^"

The second is Kai Hiwatari from Beyblade. He was my longest love. XD I've been nuts about him since secondary school. But alas, the thing about such characters is that you grow up, and they don't. So I have to move on. ;_;

The last character is Muraki Kazutaka from Yami no Matsuei. It is because of him that I actually decided to go down the medical path. As you can guess, in Yami no Matsuei, he's a doctor. Although he's crazy, bloodthirsty, completely psychotic, etc. He's a doctor. And the only one I really admired wholeheartedly.

Don't ask me why. But his story is sort of sad too. He became a doctor, but realised the shortcomings of medicine, and the reality that no matter how good medicine is, one can never escape death. And I suppose it was this realisation that no matter how hard he tries to cure patients, he will eventually lose to death, that made him go... Kinda wacko.

But the scene that will forever touch my heart is seeing Muraki in a cemetary. The cemetary is specially for stillborns, babies that never had a chance in this world. And I dunno... Seeing Muraki there... I was kinda in awe of him. He is someone that I can identify as fully human... And fully demonic...

AS you can probably tell, he's the antagonist in the story. XD And the last book before the author went on hiatus, Muraki was about to make his grand entrance AGAIN. So, as you can tell, I can't wait for the next volume to be released!!

(Part of the thrill is watching him traumatise all the main characters, like Tsuzuki)

Tsuzuki... Is the most powerful Shinigami (yes, the entire story of Yami no Matsuei talks about Gods of Death, life and other such issues) that ever existed. But he was an existence that wasn't entirely human, and he was hated and feared because of it. When he became a Shinigami, he wanted everyone he encounters to be able to meet death without regret. Idealistic, isn't he?

The interesting part is, you can choose to be a Shinigami if there is something in life that you cannot let go of. Every one of the Shinigami in the manga has... unresolved issues, or issues that can never be resolved.

Tsuzuki, in a sense, always hopes for the best scenerio possible. To the point that it's almost painful to watch him.

Hisoka, Tsuzuki's partner, is the same. Hisoka is one of the many victims of Muraki. Ah... One thing about Muraki. His favourite hobby is to psychologically torture people to the point of self-destruction. Hisoka was different. He was tortured to death physically. And raped. And had his memories taken. And tattooed with some curse of Muraki's... >.> So yeah... Hisoka gets a little obssessed with battling Muraki.

Muraki always wins though. Even when he doesn't win, he takes the main characters down with him. HE'S THAT EPIC.

Haha! Muraki is untouchable. And I guess, that's one reason why I am still so drawn towards him.

The thing about Muraki, he draws his victims in psychologically, to the point where they cannot escape him, even in death. In a sense, you can't escape from him. Your life becomes intertwined with his, like a spider's web.

I suppose you could say, I'm a victim too. =^^=

-----------------------------------------------------

Anyway, the ones with the most impact, I suppose are Kai and Muraki. Heck, they are literally the reason why I like the colours dark blue and silver. Red is my colour, btw.

Even now, I am waiting. To the day I can meet Muraki again~

Back to the present?
