Prologue here, part 1 here, part 2 here. Now we come to the conclusion of our story...

Anita: 'And I get to be badass!' )

And that's how Anita and Hisa met.

Adds up to about 8 and a half pages from 26.

Part two of How Anita Met Hisa. Huzzah. Prologue here, and part one here. This'n was a bit harder to cut down than the previous ones.

Anita: 'Get on with it, I want to get past how the last one ended!' )

Adds up to about 8 and a half paged out of 26.

Prologue here. Anita and Hisa's relationship is one of my favourite parts of Read or Dream, from the moment they met, to the moment they had to (temporarily) part. I've posted the later parts elsewhere, so, how did they meet?

OK, I still have no idea what to say before the cut any more... Anita: 'You're not even trying!' )

Tune in tomorrow for part 2...

~8 pages from 24.

More ROD! More Anita! ... I have pretty much exhausted the introductory text ideas...

Bah, let's just jump in. Anita: 'Good for nothing, lazybones!' )

8.6 pages of 26.

Part one of How Anita met Hisa proper, tomorrow.

After my earlier ROD posts, one could be forgiven for forgetting that there were 2 other Paper Sisters, since I've been focussing on Anita, and the others have only shown up in support of her. So...now I give you...the mind of Michelle Chan.

Anita: 'And yet, I still get no peace.' )

As promised, more Read or Dream. (Seriously, I love this series.) In this instalment, Anita gets sick (all together, now...aaaw).

I can't think of an interesting cut text. Anita: 'Lazy!' )

And, some thoughts on this chapter, and what it tells us about Anita's character.

Anita: 'What are you, my psychiatrist?' )

Following up on this post, where we were introduced to the only real recurring villain in Read or Dream. Anita, defeated in their first encounter, swore revenge...so, let's continue the story...

Anita: 'I have a nemesis?' )

A combination of 'favourite villain' and a belated 'series I could read over and over'...

Read or Dream, the follow-up series to Read or Die, follows the Paper Sisters - Michelle Chan, Maggie Mui, and Anita King - 3 Hong Kong papermasters who work as detectives, focussing on books (theoretically). It doesn't have much in the way of actual villains (unlike Read or Die or ROD the TV), but there are a couple...

And this is the introduction of one of them - the only recurring one, actually...

We are the Paper Sisters Detective Agency... )

Wow...took me forever to get around to posting this. I fail. >_> This is the second part of this post from Saturday. Go there for the background.

I posted these scans this time last year, on the old S_D...I figured I might as well repost them again, rather than have them lost...lost to time. *cries* Besides, I posted them for International Day of Femslash, and it's the second one, so, hey.

I'm a big fan of Hideyuki Kurata and Ran Ayanaga's Read or Dream manga, the follow-up to Read or Die - it is, in fact, my favourite manga currently commercially available in English, and in the running for my favourite ever. The entire RoD series - Die, Dream, and ROD the TV (loosely based on Dream) - is pretty full of yuri moments... For Dream/the TV, that mostly focusses on Anita...primarily her relationship with Hisami Hisaishi.

Which...is the focus of these two posts.




In reference to the rules changes since then, this post, and the second one, are a total of 28 or 29 pages (it's hard to add up the partial pages) taken from throughout volume 4 of the series, which is about 220 pages.
