(Hmm... is it spoilers if I tell you what they don't tell you?) I wanna know what happens, too! You do get some of teh info, there's a couple of chapters that cover heaven...but a lot is still left out. (Like, why Goku was imprisoned.) (Well, in teh anime, at least... and as far as I know, teh Saiyuki manga and anime follow each other pretty closely, at least until they switch to Reload). There is a another short-ish manga series, Saiyuki Gaiden, that covers heaven in more detail, but I think they just started making it into volumes (from teh magazine serials) in Japan, so who knows when it could make it over here. Man... I wish I knew more about teh downloading action. I bet you could find scanalations somewhere.... But I'm glad you're enjoying teh manga! It's definately one of those ones you can read over and over... And over and over and over and over . . . . . . . I've read them in order, backwards, and outta order in any order you can imagine! It's gonna get worse, 'cause I'm planning on getting teh rest of teh manga that's out now, and that means I've gotta read them all AGAIN! Yay!

Snagged some of this from teh other thread.... Hmmm... interesting! I guess I never considered that there might be a 'third' version.... but I guess that makes sense.... Yeah, I don't know either... I think most of those 'modern' clothes pics are just... whadaya call 'em... just chances to show off teh hot boys for teh fans. I haven't actually found that many good saiyuki sites... there is www.saiyuki.com but there's a lot of stuff that's unfinished. I get most of my info from Kagenami Q's site Journey to teh Rest: www.madkukkii.com/saiyuuki/saiyuuki.html She actually lives in Japan and has all teh latest info about what's going on with Saiyuki right now. (She also has, BY FAR, teh largest doujinshi archive I have EVER seen. If you're interested.... all yaoi, though....)

I might as well just say it.... I wuv me some Saiyuki yaoi. I've really gotten into collecting doujinshi... heh... so if anyone is curious about that whole phenomenon, let me know. =) (I know! I know it's WRONG! But I can't help myself!! Gojyo and Hakkai are MADE for each other... *hides from angry Miho*)

I think teh one reason there aren't any women in teh Saiyuki four is because sex would be involved because teh characters are so close to each other. I'd rather think of them as brothers; Sanzo teh oldest, pissed at teh resposibility of being teh 'leader' in charge of this motley group; Goyjo teh second oldest, fun-loving and lusty, alway taking time out to tease everyone; Hakkai, teh resonsible one, always smoothing out arguments with a quip; and Goku, teh youngest brother, always testing his limits with teh others.

I prefer to think of them as monkeys [Goku: "Hey!"] tied together with a banana dangling from a stick attached to their haeds just outta their reach, and they're too busy scrambling to get to it and blaming each other for not cooperating and tripping each other up to realize it's tied to a frickin' stick attached to their heads.

[Bet he WAS gonna' ask her for a date, noda!!! *snerk*] "Oh, MY BUDDHA!!!!!"

Actually, when they're travelling--and QUARRELING--in teh jeep, they remind ME of a "Family"-- Sanzo is teh cranky "Father"--"Don't make me come BACK there, you TWO!!!" Hakkai is teh "Mother", trying to keep teh Peace [SUCH as it IS!]--"Now, now, Dear....They're JUST kids, Remember, and Boys WILL be Boys!" Goyjo is teh "Older Brother"--"Will you STOP annoying ME, you pesky little TWERP!!!??" And Goku is teh "Younger Brother", feeling picked-upon--"MOOOOOMMM! He's TEASING me again! AND he keeps HITTING me when yer' NOT looking!!!" Sanzo, as teh Crabby Father, again--"I SWEAR, Honey--I'm gonna' KILL those two if THEY DON'T SHUT UP!!!" Hakkai, teh Peace-Keeping Mother, again--"Yes, Dear....!*sigh*" And there is silence for all of FIVE minutes before it ALL STARTS UP AGAIN! *snicker*

AND, Sanzo tries-ta' SLAP her, even tho' he's unconscious and still weak! Tho' I think teh look of utter SURPRISE on Goyjo's face is pretty funny, too! [Then he tries-ta' get a lil' "fresh" with her--and PASSES OUT!] ;D I DO so wuv teh way Mercy "handles" her men, noda! [Which is WHY I "sicced" her on Seiryuu, of course!]
