A couple of months ago I read the synopsis for "Immortal Rain" which has just been released by (if I'm not mistaken) Tokyopop. The synopsis, the story of a criminal who lives forever and the female bounty hunter who hunts him down, seemed interesting. I picked up the first volume, but I never finished it first because it was, IMHO, unbelieveably boring and second because of the shocking language. It was rated teen but I counted something like four F-words. Eeek. So I jus tthought I'd throw that info out there in case anyone sees it on the shelf and wonders as I did.

thanks for the review:)

I read it. I don't remember all these words youre talking about... *goes and gets her book*... hmm... *flip*

*snaps book shut* As I cannot find the four f- words of which you speak I will go back and reread it. I did see one H- word, and I remember one b- word. *thinks* There wasn't too much blood as I remember. There was fighting, but since Rain is an Immortal there is a time he covers Machika (the girl) when they are being fired at by the evil people.

I actually thought this was a good book. At first, when I picked it up, I was like.. "Oh yeah..uhhuh.. how wonderful. A book with no new plot." But when I flipped through it I thought the art was good, and started wondering why certain parts where happening. So I went back and actually read the first couple pages. (I never read whole books in stores...-.-)

There is an element in it where you find that Rain (the immortal) has a silver cross attached to his chest. He says its his punishment for 'eating an angel'. >_. yeah I didn't really get that either. But then you find out that there is a place where there are certain kinds of immortals called 'angels' who are frozen in a certain place that Rain and Machika are trying to find. It's actually an interesting story I thought.

Though I wouldn't let a child too young read it, I still think it... oh yeah wait. I forgot. There's a weird girl obsessed with the head of her dead love. >_. yeah i thought that was kinda wierd. x_x But.. still.. read it or not, thats your decision. ^-^

Aviento!

That's what I

Hmmm. . . um, I'm like %99.99999 sure that they were there. I mean, I could have invented one, but I don't think I could possibly just image three. I very rarely hallucinate, and when I do-- it's generally buff bishies appearing at my door and not F- words. But, you own the books]*Sigh* I'm still waiting for the Noir Manga..[/quote]
Now that would rock! Is there even such a thing. . . I wonder.

I found it! It took me forever! Geez! >_< Ok.. There is one F word in it. That I found. And I saw a GD word. And a BA word... and the S word.. oh man.. >_. *sigh* This is what my white out is for. *gets out whiteout pen*

Well.. I guess.. I'm sorry? >_. Its still a good book. Did I mention that Rain obviously has some hard issues from his way back past? Yeah.. you can tell it still hurts him. *nod*

Well... anywho... just.. saying.. so.. bye. o.o

I didn't post this thread to bash Immortal Rain. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up who might want one. Language really bothers me and so I was just really upset and shocked to find any number of F-words in a TEEN manga.

Uhmm I don't mean this meanly! Please know that! ^-^;; But its OT. Not T. o.o there.... is .. a .. difference.... >_.;;

<--shutting up now

AH HA! This is why I should quit reading so many pre-release summaries. They get a stirred up in my head.

o.o; uhm.. Right! o.o/)..... >_. eh no? v_v;;;

sorry

Yeito

BTE, Yeito, what's your avatar from?

No clue. v_v;; I just found it and thought.. *Gasp*!! PRETTY! And then it fit.. I got it from some avatar site.. if I can find the site, i can give it to you i guess.. I can always change it if its not appropriate... o.o;

Yeito

One difference betweeen T manga and OT manga is that I am alllowed to read T manga but not OT manga until who knows when...

Immortal Rain sounds like a pretty good story to me, but I haven't checked it out. Judging by your comments though, "The pen" is in order, ne?

AngelSakura: bummer that you can't get OT's but thats probably for a good reason. I hope anyway.

Speaking of which I don't even know what the ones I have are rated.
*Dashes away and looks*
Cool! I only have two OT manga: Negima, which I seriously and thinking of getting rid of, and Juvenille Orion #2.

On the other hand I've probably read a lot of OT manga.. Chobits for example.

Yeito, That Avatar is cool!! Probably wouldn't use if for me though.

Yes, indeed. TIf you buy it, you'd probably want to "the pen" it. Or atleast, I would.

thanks for the compliment xavier. ^^;; I've been thinking about maybe putting a new one up, but I might leave it for a while. Aviento.

And yes. I think Immortal Rain is a good book, whether it needs "the pen" or not. ^-^

Your welcome, and I will look into this "Immortal Rain" further and see if my growing "clan" of anime fans deems it worthy. (I loan out almost all my manga to close friends.)

Although, it seems you like it so that should be good enough proof.

I flipped through immortal rain vol.2 and I guise I could be wrong but near the back there was a detailed shot of michika from the front [it went by really fast] and no I don't mean her cloths were detailed. So I'd recommend looking at it before you buy it if that would bother you.

*sniff* I know.... I wanted to mention it but I didn't want to grave dig cause someone put up a post about not doing that anymore but I felt really bad cause that must have been why it was rated that and I'm really sorry!

I.. honestly didn't know... I am ashamed....

::leaves::

It's ok Yeito!
Actually I should have posted sooner.... I looked at it like last month
I just finally remembered to say something about it I seem to forget allot of things.

No problemo, my friend (BTW, if you have something important to add to a thread, I don't think that's considered grave digging. Grave digging is more when you post something just to bump a thread up.)

Exactly.

Hmm.. thanks for the warning.
