Intro: Hey look here's an asshole

The title kinda gives it away doesn't it? Oops. Name's Faun and I'm playing the ever-so-pleasant Genjyo Sanzo from the Saiyuki manga series by Kazuya Minekura.

Sanzo's not at all pleased to be here so, uh, enjoy the ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, chain-smoking Buddhist priest? He's really good at shooting stuff and being obnoxiously bullheaded. That and the whole, being-a-jerk, thing. I'm so sorry. At least he's pretty? 

Have a list of important stuff. 

Well, I look forward to the lovely rp! Please let me know if you wish to subject your character to interacting with this scrawny bundle of fun~

Yeah, Tokyopop stopped publishing them. They released Reload through volume 9 and then stopped. Last I heard, you could only find english!Vol 10 released by the publisher Chuang Yi. But it's so rare it's basically online only for most of us; I don't even have it.

And Blast is of course only in Japan for now, but [livejournal.com profile] saiyuki_manga puts scans and translations up (and has Reload 10 up, too). It's open to join.

Saiyuki Ibun is also on that community, for all your Koumyou-Sanzo-was-such-a-punk, goddamnit-I-would-RP-him-if-it-wouldn't-break-our-Sanzo needs.

Yeah, that's what I heard; I was hoping maybe that had changed in the last few years or something. Alas! I've got up to Reload 9, so I might actually have the whole published set save the Chuang Yi version.

Blast is still ongoing then? Are there any plans to release that in English, or has that suffered too?

Ibun is the one I haven't read at all, though I've seen some of the anime version. I need to catch up, so thanks for the link there.

There's no Ibun in anime version, I think you're thinking of Gaiden. Which got a soul-murdering OVA to finish it off. And by soul-murdering I mean they didn't pull a single punch and delivered it pretty much panel for panel from the manga. They done good. And it hurrrrrt.

Blast is ongoing! Although Minekura's health often stops her from updating for big chunks of time.

... I am entirely thinking of Gaiden, yes, thank you. It's been too long. Which part of the story does Ibun tell? Or is it a continuation of Gaiden? I don't think I've heard of it.

Alas but also excellent, it's not over yet.

Ibun is a totally different prequel kind of story, following Koumyou Sanzo before he was Koumyou Sanzo, and his friends. (Koumyou was our Sanzo's "dad".)

It's glorious.



Dat fanservice.

I am sad I did not know this existed before now.

LBR the whole of Saiyuki is nothing but fanservice. <.

What fanservice.



I don't see any fanservice.
