The first on-screen appearance of the Karen-monster was November 18, 2004. :D oh also, here's a preview of ch51 p8:
*tiny screaming* I've been reading Kagerou since at least 2005, when I was a tiny sheltered homeschooler who - well, I was going to say "winced every time someone said 'fuck'" but actually now that I think about it I had already learned that from Inuyasha translations on Sengoku O-togi Zoushi and was using it copiously (inside my head, where my parents couldn't hear). It gave me an insatiable desire to read/write/draw stories involving monsters, dead people, dead people who are monsters, etc. Favourite part: Tcaolin's origin story, I can't even. Favourite thing: The soda can. I don't care if I have to wait another ten years to find out what happened, 'cause just seeing it is exciting enough. Every time it shows up I'm like "oh man, oh boy, this is going to be SO HORRIBLE :D :D :D" Um. Anyway. I am very excited and I am going to stop now.
I started reading it yesterday and I plan on continuing because I was hooked in about three pages. I love it so far.
I appreciate how the speech bubbles are color coded. It's making reading this a whole lot easier than it could have been. Thank you for being awesome.
Well, I say "everyone," but it's only certain characters who are impacted. Most people keep their own.
Agreed; the only comic I can think of that does so as well is gunnerkrigg court. Anyway, I'm a relative newbie, didn't discover Kagerou until... Actually right before the Kagerou Project Vocaloid kids took over your tag. I should reread but I have a lot of things like that. I do remember disinctly going YES, THAT IS MY COMBAT STYLE re: the flying sword, though. That is entirely my combat style and remains such.
Also, I feel like I should post this here. Spoiler: BEHOLD! Kano and some of the weirdos in his head. BUT AS MAGICAL GIRLS I wanted to make a genderbent Orbkiller, or just a regular one, but it would take ages and I have limited time until class.
I should point out that Kano's outfit is based off of this pic ( http://atomicfireball.deviantart.com/art/trap-valhalla-258933641 )
Oh yeah I forgot to say that I caught up! I'm very excited for the update! Holy shit what a great comic!
I just really love Kano and I want him to be happy and safe. My favorite parts are any ones with Heyoka in them. I don't have any ships really - maybe Tonbo and the nick? They're pretty cute. I don't have any coherent theories right now, but I probably will soon. Also, I know I've seen the gold-backgrounded backstory bit somewhere before, but I can't recall how or where. But I definitely remember thinking that it was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen, both art and story wise.
