Brief note

I have a ridiculous number of half-written posts about manga (covering Saiyuki, After School Nightmare, Please Save My Earth, Silver Diamond, Loveless, Yotsuba&! and Flower of Life, amongst others) and one major work deadline, but I also, finally, have an internet connection back again. This is, therefore, just to remind myself that Monster volume 10 has the most physically discomforting scene I've ever had to force myself to read in any comic ever. I am still all twitchy and convinced that I may have missed major plot info, but I'm not flicking back to it to check (also, end of chapter 8? Arrgh arrgh arrgh).
