crumpeteer who linked to hayden_ew comm, I bring you a lovely Hayden Christensen picspam. Because the boy is GORGEOUS.
In completely unrelated news, I definitely jumped ahead and ended up reading the Enishi parts of the RK manga at Borders (and am now reading the translations for yet-unpublished-in-US parts on line) as I know the anime won't cover it.
Talk about a brother in law from hell. Apparently Tomoe keeps causing issues even from the grave.
And Enishi makes Kenshin believe Kaoru is dead, complete with a corpse and everything. Which is about the worst thing he could do to Kenshin, because not only does Kenshin love Kaoru, but also since Enishi only killed her because she is Kenshin's, Kenshin knows it's his fault, it's because Kaoru got involved with him, because he didn't leave her. And of course this also brings back memories of Tomoe and the situation is, in a strong way, Tomoe Part 2. That is horrible. Kenshin, meet insanity. No wonder he completely shuts down. I guess it's better than if he went Battousai.
And I love that it's Aoshi who figures out the truth, because he is both very logical and methodical and screwed up at the same time, and I think can think the way Enishi would think (that's a lot of 'think's). He's been down the well of blank unreasoning hatred, after all. And I love that his reason is that Enishi would want to kill Kaoru in front of Kenshin, so as to torment him to the max, and since he didn't, and Enishu is good at puppets, there is a chance Kaoru is still alive. And he is right.
Basically, Kenshin's skill at making friends with scary people who want to off him is really useful.
And I also love that Aoshi ends up in a massive fight and afterwards Saito is all "I thought you planned to die in the fight" because of course Aoshi still has major guilt issues from his all-expenses-paid trip to the Dark Side, and Aoshi is "I can't, because there is someone waiting for me to return" and it intercuts to Misao. Be still my shippy heart. What with Kenshin's breakdown over Kaoru and this, I am one hell of a giddy shipper. Eeeee. Misao keeps Aoshi from death. Swoooooon. Yeah, I am now spoiled for parts of the Kyoto arc (like the fact that Aoshi a. doesn't die in Kyoto b. snaps out of his psychoness c. makes up with Misao) but hey, I am knew it already.
Btw, how do you hint gently to husband that for that nice birthday present you want the entire (published so far in English) set of RK manga?
