Title: Metaxyxae Pairings: 1x2 Circle/DJka: Ihatou - honpo Kazumi Yamabukii Date Published: 1997A Artwork: At times the art is lovely, but at the same time the outlines are very thick and almost chunky (pleeze no comments about peanut butter) and almost as if they were drawn with charcoal. Plus the mouths are really really wide (again.. no comments onegai ^^;;) Plot: Honestly, I have no idea what to make of this dj. The kanji, frankly, doesn't help. It's hand written and pretty damned illegible for novices ^^;; Heero and Duo are at a hiding place err.. hiding. Heero is exasperated by Duo, I think Heero's actually hiding Duo for his own good and of course, Duo doesn't want to be hidden. At any rate, they have a fight and Heero leaves. Then there's a cute short story, by a guest artist, where Heero declares his feeling for Duo ( like we were all waiting for him to do in the anime series =d). Duo can't understand how Heero can love a person like him - a murderer, someone who can't believe in anyone, even themselves, etc. Heero knocks some sense into him (No! not literally...) Another scene after that one, by the actual djka this time. Duo and Quatre are contemplating, war, their lives, their roles in the war, etc. Then the last scene continues where the first story left off. The bad guys ( no.. I dont' know who the baddies are actually ^^;;) find Duo, manage to capture him after Duo knocks a few of them silly. Heero returns only to find an empty apartment building and Duo's blood on the floor... tbc... Don't you just hate that? ^_^ Opinion: I'm sort of iffy about the artwork, but the storyline is interesting. And well ^^ the use of symbolism and varying mediums is pretty damned neat ^_^ Reviewed by Reishin BACK
