Saiyuki, Volume 2 Book

I'm really enjoying this more and more, especially as I begin to feel more comfortable with my own ability to decipher what's going on, and find myself confused less and less. The artwork is still gorgeous, and I found myself squeeing just a little over young Sanzo. So adorable! Also, the ending made me wibble lots. Stupid crazy Buddhist monks always cause problems.

I am a little uncomfortable about the roles in which women are represented in this for the most part; though I suppose that since Saiyuki (for all its anachronisms) is supposed to be set in ancient China, that's only to be expected. It will be at least two weeks before I can pick up the third volume. I hate this town's complete lack of decent bookshops.
