This is one of those moments you will not see in the anime. It's things like this being left out are what I feel hurts the series more than helps. Yugioh the manga has a lot more character development and expands upon things like this, Yugi's home life. You wouldn't know that he actually has a mother if you didn't read the manga. This is a great little scene between Yugi and his mother. Their interaction is so normal, that it's refreshing. Yugioh tends to err on the weird side so seeing a mother smacking her kid over the head with a kitchen utensil for not improving his grades is just win. (Do not click on pics, they link to the wrong picture).


These are Yugi's thoughts, which makes it all the weirder. Yugi normally doesn't catergorize people in such a derogatory manner. I guess Hirutani is a special case because... well he is an SOB.



LMAO. No explanation necessary. I don't think Kazuki Takahashi gets enough credit for his sense of humor. The manga is actually hilarious.


Click on it for the full effect. It's Honda's asides to Jounouchi's exclamations which make the duo so damn funny.


Methinks someone enjoyed a certain Clint Eastwood movie...


Yami has a habit of making the act of simple jacket removal look like a grand gesture of the ages. I think this follows a scene where his opponent pulls a punk ass move and kicks him in the side, knocking him down.

Ah, I miss vacation already...

I am so not going to want to get up at 4:45 tomorrow...

Welcome Sunny Sunshine and Angel An!

I missed the phone calls at 10:30 this morning, but YAY!  Two more nieces to add to my collection!  And to carry on my tradition, I hereby nickname them Ushi and Inamiboshi.  ^-^

I now have a Neko (Rat) called Phooka or Nezumi, a Neko (Cat/Rabbit) called Neko (since her mother is Usagi), a Hebi (Snake) called Hebi or Snake, an Uma (Horse) called Uma or Waterhorse, and two Ushi (Ox/Cow) called Ushi and Inamiboshi.  So far, only the two older girls are called by their nicknames with any regularity, but the tradition must go on, hahaha.

Congratulations to Ninja Mistress and Marathon Man!

^No kidding. I laughed SO hard at this page. I love the expression on Honda's face. I think he's concerned someone is going to think Yugi and Jounouchi are gay for each other. XD

The arc with Shadi and his Shadow Game with Yugi was excellently done. I really enjoy Kazuki Takahashi's art work; he makes good use of dramatic shading and perspective (by chapter 13 it's improved from the first ten chapters considerably). I also dig his unusual, random humor. He can have an intense dramatic scene going on, then he'll switch to the narration saying and showing "Meanwhile, Jounouchi is still running..." 

Jounouchi: "You're the one who knocked out all his teeth Anzu!"
Anzu: "I only knocked out three!"

^Anzu is so proactive. She defends everyone by picking up a globe and slamming it against the zombified professor's head to stop him from strangling Jounouchi to death. The manga really is a lot more violent than the anime. Shadi actually murders someone as a result of the Penalty Game.

^Mokuba... Yuzuka promoter in training. *shudders* I told you he was a minion of the Anti-Christ!

This is a kid's manga? Personally I think some of the subject matter is questionable. Then again, I don't know what the audience is, but it must be the same target audience as Naruto. The genres both YuGiOh and Naruto fall in seem about the same.

Hehe, this is the second manga I've gotten into reading that's a shounen. I don't know why but I can't stand shoujos. I only own two shoujo anime series and they're only because they're the most tolerant of the genre I could find. I don't like too much emphasis on romance when I watch/read anime/manga. I like it as a major plot line or a minor one but as the whole focus it puts me off and I get impatient with the characters. Maybe it's because I personally haven't had much real-life satisfaction in the romance department. Well, whatever.

Yami: Get your dirty hands off my Puzzle! Goddamn brats! <----- Best line ever.

Anyway. I'm really liking this. Hopefully when I reach the dreaded switch-over to the Duel Monsters Rule All and Hey Is That Guy With the Weird Hair a Pharaoh? part of the manga, the subplots will have more focus than they do in the anime. 

The whole manga is WIN for this tiny little scene between Yugi and Jounouchi ALONE. It's a fourth wall breaker that I think sets the tone for the rest of the manga:

Jounouchi: Yugi, why are you wearing your school uniform on a Sunday?
Yugi: Is that weird?

GEE I WONDER. XD
