So, this month, I've decided to participate in the fandom snowflake_challenge, something I've never done before! It's a community that posts a series of prompts throughout the month of January, some of which require talking about things in your own space while others require you to go out and interact with people within your fannish circles. There's no time limit on when you complete the prompts!

Which is good for me, because I've been a bit slow getting going on some of these, hahaha. But today! We are going to catch up! Starting right here with Challenge #3.



( Challenge 3, Who's Coming To Dinner? )

Back at it again, sorry friendlist! This time it's snowflake challenge #5, promoting or talking about a canon you love. So join me as we return to the dark depths of 2005 and place ourselves into the frankly untrustworthy grip of Tokyopop, with their firm monopoly of the western manga market. Let us discuss that strange and slightly uncomfortable creature, the Original English Manga.

And let us reminisce about the one I loved above all the others, and a conclusion that took me fifteen years to reach.

Let's talk Off*beat.



( Tory Blake is every bit as awful as I remembered and I would not change one thing about him. )
