Natsu: My pawn reached your end.
Rachel: Uh huh?
Natsu: I want to swap with my piece please?
Rachel: Which one? Your late bishop?
Natsu: Only a fool would want that. I want my Queen.
Rachel: Oh, Natsu. That's so bold of you! *wink*
Natsu: I mean my chess piece of a Queen!
Rachel: Oh I'm sorry. I can't seem to find it. *hold both breast and moves it around, making clicking noises of the chess piece in between*
Natsu: (Why did I agree to play this with her in the first place?) *tsundere blush*

Shigure is awesome, eh? "XD: May I ask why you like her, Natsu, and Kenichi?

ManunuArt In reply to EmperorBassexe [2013-03-06 15:01:28 +0000 UTC]
Yup! Let's see... I love how Shigure at first seems really serious and then it turns out she has the mind of a little kid XD she's really unique and funny (not to mention she's pretty and totally badass) and I think it's sweet how her lack of common sense makes her look like a child XD Also, I like her backstory, how she gets along with Apachai and the fact that she's always ready to surprise you XD...and her mouse is also funny :3 I do want to see her fight seriously though, since she has not yet fought a serious opponent on her own >.< at least not in the chapters I've read. Hopefully since I'm reading the beginning of the all out war with Yami and yomi, she'll get her chance to shine
(along with the oher masters of course)
About Natsu, I have a weakness for tsunderes and anti-heroes XD I love how he's badass and strong, and even during the time of the story when he's a villain, I think he's amazing. I admire how he always wants to get stronger and works hard, and also the way he wants to keep his promise to his little sister T.T His relationship with Honoka is sweet and hilarious, because it shows how much of a good guy he is >w< and the way he always denies he worries and cares about Kenichi and his friends, when he actually is always the one to come to the rescue, is just priceless for me XD I mean, he's not the kind of character who rambles about friendship and moral values (like Kenichi XD) but in the end he's always there talking with his actions, ready to help. His backstory was also quite strong T.T Oh, and he's handsome XD
What I love about Kenichi the most is how we normal people can relate to him. He has come so far only with effort, and I think it's quite fun to see the contrast between his determined and cool self, and his coward and funny side XD I love how he is the kind of character who defends moral values, but in his case his determination is true and it shows, and I think that's really nice, because it shows he's not just rambling, but actually ready to stand to defend his words. I can really relate with his desires to get stronger, since I've been in situations where I wish I could be brave enough and strong enough to stand up and defend the weak. I also like the fact that he's not "perfect" since he has his times when he tries to escape too XD and the way his masters love him (even when they torture him daily XD) is also a proof of how much of a silly good guy he is What I like about him the most is that, even if some could say he's the typical main character who "wants to protect his friends and etc." he's really genuine in how extreme his kindness is, making him special and not just a stereotype :3
Sorry about the loooong rambling, I'm such a fangirl -.-

No worries about the rambling, it's quite understandable. I'm glad you like the manga.
I agree with you on the points about Shigure, and don't worry - she'll fight people on equal-footing soon enough. Though fanservice is ramped up a bit as the series progresses.
I like Natsu because of his backstory and design, and how his bitterness is somewhat validated by his past. I always like the anti-hero/rival types [as you've no doubt guessed due to the Lelouch pieces I've commissioned. XD]. I also enjoy his design, as the cloak symbolizes his desire for solitude in addition to looking so badass. The pentagrams on the back of his gauntlets help as well in making him look cooler - in addition to the way he's drawn in scenes and panels.
Kenichi is cool in how he also shows character development throughout the series rather than remaining static. At first he's kinda annoying but then later grows more and more of a backbone and develops as a character. Also, his semi love triangle with Miu and Renka is an adorable plus.

I'm gald my rambling didn't bother you!XD
I'm getting excited now that I know I'll soon see Shigure fight! and I've developed an anti-fanservice filter, so don't worry XD
I'm glad we both like Natsu, and you're right about Kenichi

And keep on reading because Shigure gets several different rivals in later chapters, some are brief fights, some ongoing, and one that's very much anticipated by the fans.

EmperorBassexe In reply to ManunuArt [2013-03-06 23:50:45 +0000 UTC]
Yep!
One character I actually dislike is Miu's Grandfather, the Elder. He just seems far too overpowered most of the time, he seems to lack a weakness and states to have never lost a match. This is a bit of a flaw in him being the supreme master as it means he hasn't experienced everything there is in the martial arts world such as defeat. Even Kenichi experiences defeat a few times and grows because of it. The Elder seems more like a plot device at times, rather than a character.
I do like Siegfried though! Both for his eccentric personality and fashion sense.

ManunuArt In reply to EmperorBassexe [2013-03-07 02:12:39 +0000 UTC]
Well, I don't dislike the elder, I just think he needs more character development I think he has potential, because normally when a character is so overpowered, finding something that shakes him is a huge part of the plot, I guess... anyway, I haven't seem as much of him as you have, so I have to wait to be able to give a concrete opinion about him >.<
And Siegfried is hilarious!!XD I think the way he admires Niijima is especially funny!

Oohh nice! You did very, very well with this! ^_^ It's pretty much how I'd envisioned it.
They look very much in character, despite how cold and psychotic Natsu is, he's still a guy!
I like the textures you used for the floor paneling and wall, were those real-life images edited in photoshop?
Their expressions work so well! And that bra looks totally like something Rachel would wear in the series.
Thank you very much! ^_^

Thank you! I'm happy you like it!
Yup, I edited real life images and textures
and I had a lot of fun coming up with a design for Rachel's bra XD So I'm really glad you think it suits her :3
