She's back!

So Japan? Was awesome. Fantastic, fabulous, only reason I could force myself to get on the plane was the assurance that I will be going back.

The mild case of pneumonia I returned with? Not so much fun. On the mend now, but manga delayed 'til next week. Hopefully will be feeling up for writing soon - been too long since I have, am missing it. More about my Japan adventures later - in a nutshell, Kyoto's as beautiful as they say; Tokyo is way too freakin' big; I want my local combini to carry curry bread, dammit; the best part of the (many) bishounen on the trains is that they can't understand you when you're plotting their abductions; and I did not get a definitive answer to the eternal question "how much manga can fit in two suitcases?", but I can say with certainty that it's more than 50 + 40 volumes of anthology doujinshi (Mmmmmm. Used bookstores in Japan are even more dangerous than the American variety.)

How many? Too many to remember! Japan is chock-full of 'em...new young salarymen in their suits, highschool boys in their uniforms (mmm, the uniforms!!), bookish sorts (ahh, glasses!), punkish types - er. Yes. I didn't go to Japan to guy-watch, but...next time... ^^ (and then there were the ones we never quite figured out if they were bishounen or bishoujo, but they were pretty, at any rate...)

...Wonderful. You go to Japan and drool over bishie, and what do I get? Priests, bookish dudes (not that I don't like 'em ;) ) and guys wearing pink eyeshadow!

ANYWAY, glad you enjoyed it. Fangirlism rejoices in your triumph. ^_^
