I DID threaten you lot with a host of X mvs, didn't I?
Round one is Kamui and Kotori, because they're all about the pretty, pretty angst.

In volume 2 of Blade of the Immortal, Manji, the main character of the series, and Magatsu, an Itto Ryu swordsman, did a "duel to the death" bit for ownership of Rin's(the girl Manji protects) father's sword(a duel that Magatsu WON but Manji cheated by being immortal...but that's ok, Magatsu-unintentionally or not-made Rin cry, and Manji is allowed to take any steps necessary to address that)
Now Manji? Makes Wolverine look like a wuss. And Magatsu? He may not strictly be the best swordsman of the series, but more than anyone else in it, if he wants you to go down you are going down-sometimes very literally by way of a long drop-and after events a little earlier in the series, he doesn't really care what the cost to his own well being is. Boy takes almost as much damage as Manji does and makes it through without the benefit of being a near immortal. *stops self before she degenerates into rabid Magatsu fangirling*
Anyway, the two have known the other made it through their fight for quite a while(which makes Manji saying he didn't know here kind of odd as he was told around vol 4-5...I figure he just forgot), but they don't meet again until volume 10, when both end up staying at the house of Sori, an old friend of Rin's father.
Here's what happens when they learn the other is there, and how to tame a pair of homicidal nuts about to make your house all bloody.

anime: Kyo Kara Maoh: Season 1
May. 3rd, 2007 08:35 pmSo, what's Kyo Kara Maoh? Here's the brief version:
Fifteen year old kid from out world gets transported to a fantasy world and learns they have a special destiny. Of the core group, there's the borderline perfect knight(yet, naturally, with a tragic past and lost love) the loudmouthed hothead who's decent enough underneath and gets accidentally engaged to the main character right off the bat, the court official declaring his love for the main character left and right, the grouchy guy who's a big old softie underneath and has a protective streak, and the crossdresser who initially challenges and tests the main character, but is soon a hard and fast ally.
Sound familiar?
*waits for the friends list to stop chanting "FUSHIGI YUGI!!!!"*
The twist? The main character is Yuri, a boy with a demeanor rather like that of Haruhi from Ouran High Host Club(I Keep comparing characters to Ouran characters lately...I think that means it's been too long since Viz put out book 8 and they need to get on the ball with it), and Yuri's destiny isn't to save the world from evil and monsters, but to become the demon king and save the demon tribe from humans. And yes, all the above characters are male.
Short version is, there's plenty of fodder to keep yaoi fans happy(butthen, that's true of any anime or manga with at least 2 bishies), but as far as what's actually in the show...well, if it's been holding you back from checking it out, don't worry about it, there really isn't that much, or at least, there didn't seem to be much to me. For the most part, it's just a fun, likable take on the "magical girl" genre. It IS rather long though...78 episodes(season 1 is 39 eps)
