Okay, I'm at work and vaguely restless. You know what that means...

Hmm, what is this Hands Off! of which you... type? :p

It's fun having a workplace with internet. Other than the looks I get when I giggle at LJ comments. :p

Premise (not quite spoiler-free, but close enough): Two male cousins, living with their grandfather. Very close as children, but Kotarou, the short blonde that looks like a girl, is a touch-activated psychic amplifier, and triggered his cousin Tatsuki's latent postcognition, which, of course, changed everything between them. When Kotarou moved in with his grandfather and Tatsuki, they were not on good terms - Tatsuki having been studiously avoiding him since he became a postcog, since he kept seeing violent deaths and awful stuff, and Kotarou made it worse.

Kotarou has no idea, by the way, that his cousin is psychic or that he himself is an amplifier. He becomes friends with a guy called Yuuto, who can read auras. It's all very cute and a lot of Tatsuki grabbing Kotarou's hand at inopportune moments so he can "see" the past (ie, crimes and things) more clearly.

Highly recommended. :D

Also, it's only 8 volumes, and complete. I've read five and a half of them, borrowed from my friend Cara. I hope she buys the remaining two very soon. ^_^'>

Ooh, short series are my friend. :D

I tend to go for the interminable ones, myself - one of my failings. ^_^'> DB/Z, Naruto, Bleach, Ranma 1/2....

[yubsie]

I get scared of the really long ones. :p Plus, I find they lose a sense of direction, which is why though I may enjoy them, they never hit soul consuming status. :p

They do that. But Dragon Ball (by which I mean both DB and DBZ, which I usually abbreviate DB/Z) is just so AWESOME. The anime does drag a lot, to the point where the fans call it Drag-On Ball - later in the series you'll get one attack and some peripheral action lasting one entire episode, all in bullet-time, more or less. :P But the characters are so GOOD and the art is so AWESOME. Toriyama-sensei calls himself lazy and then goes and draws WELD LINES on tanks. O_o

I'll stop yelling now. The manga's less bad for dragging and the art is more consistent because it was actually all done by the same guy - you knokw how that works. :P And my big brother is awesome and in the process of collecting the manga. He's up to volume 7 or so of DBZ, having already acquired DB in its entirety.

I did find it easy to let go of Naruto, but I didn't get very far in Bleach and am pining for it, and the friend I was borrowing it from is still in Edmonton. ;_;

[yubsie]

Ooh, that does sound shiny. :D

[chibifrieza.livejournal.com]

It IS. :D And it's totally platonic. At least so far. :P I love it.
