why i wish i lived in japan (specifically tokyo)

I posted this bit about the Tezuka x Ryoma only doujinshi event at tezukaryouma and thought I'd post it in my own LJ as well...

( only events I wish I could attend, and all the fun from reading other people's fangirling )

I am home again...I seriously hope I can get out of this prison house tomorrow...>_< But I do feel better than this weekend. I am getting better!!

yukikaze manga chapter 04 translation

I took a nap in the middle of the day and felt rather funky afterwards...mostly looked at random shit online and, well, felt funky. I saw the Yukikaze manga lying on the floor and been somewhat "productive" and translated part of the it. :P

( Chapter 04 )

This chapter really drew me for some reason. I suppose it's because I had heard before that Rei had a crappy life (which he did...poor boy...I mean, not only was he the lone survivor of a wonderful family murder-suicide carried out by his father and didn't talk for a year after that, but he was even betrayed by his probably most trusted criminal associate who turned out to be an undercover cop...), but I didn't realize that Jack had been married. In many ways his situation is typical of the guy who isn't there for his family because of his work, but what intrigues and confuses me is how the scenes set in Fairy and the scenes with his family that the manga switch between have to do with each other.

I ended up rewatching a good part of the first two episodes of the OVA to figure out some of the English equivalents of terms...gads, those eyes just slay me every time. Such melting, expressive eyes. Especially Jack. He just oozes some undefinable something when he's looking at/thinking of Yukikaze and/or Rei.
