X
X/1999 is my new love. It sucks that the series is so old and has been hiatus for so long that Borders doesn’t have any copies. I’d have to order the books online, and I never order books online… Hopefully, someday the series will be finished and I can die happy.
I’m never thought of myself as a yaoi fangirl, per se. I like some yaoi pairings, usually when fanon is better than canon (*cough* Digimon, Naruto *cough*). But the few yaoi pairings that are canon (Yukito/Touya, Fai/Kurogane) I’ve never really paid attention to, either.
AND THEN I READ X and discovered the craziness known as Fuuma, Kamui, Seishirou, and Subaru, and my world will never be the same. I’ve been scouring the internet for fanfic and been pretty successful. Even though the fandom’s pretty dead, there’s still a lot of good stuff. I’ll post the links eventually, probably…
The art for X is great. Not too fluffy, like Cardcaptor Sakura, or too stylized like xxxHolic, but a nice balance between ornate and realistic. I hope the four year hiatus doesn’t change the art style too much, but that’s probably inevitable.The artbooks for the series are wonderful and a definite change from the usual artbooks I’ve seen. Very…risque in some cases, heh.
At volume 18 out of a planned 21, this series is so close to ending. As much as I don’t want it to end, I need to know what happens. Please Clamp, finish X!
