The Hokkaido Trip and the Archery Tournament

I've mostly only read the mana, so I apologize to those who've seen the anime, but I was curious about people's thoughts on vol 4. The Hokkaido trip, and the turnament, I mean. Seeing as we already have a thread for the St. Michael's arc.

I think the Hokkaido trip is adorable because of the bath thing where Hisoka won't go into th bath with the others because he's self conscious and then later Tsuzuki tried to help him by taking his hand because come to find out, Hisoka's afraid of the dark (totally "awwwww"ed at that). And It's hilarious imagining Tatsumi singing karaoke xDDD

The archery portion was a part that I absolutily adored (let's face it, I adore the whole series). OMFG!!! I LOVE ARCHERY!! I did archery when I was younger in school, and then later when I lived with a hunter who had those kinds of things. Seeing Hisoka and Tsuzuki with bows and arrows was too wonderful for me. Plus, that was where we met Terazuma and the lovable Wakkaba Kannuki.

Please tell me what you think of these^^ I'm very curious to know^^
*huggles all*

That's one of my fav. books! X3 <3 I wish it had been in the anime. D: Even though they were still working in one of those chapters, I love the "relaxing/break" stories. :3

And who else thinks that Tatsumi's "twitch" was all because poor Hisoka was going to have to kiss Terazuma? X333 Then later.... "What a coward."

I can't read the one about the Snow Queen without thinking of Rhea's fic now, though. XD Which.. to me.. is a good thing. X3

Weeeeee~ I want to read it all again now. :3

This one is one of my favorite volumes. I loved that Tsuzuki offered to hold Hisoka's hand and I loved the bathing scenes. They were so wonderful. I also loved that the only time Tsuzuki was able to make a perfect shot in the archery contest was because he did it for Hisoka (I practically exhale little hearts whenever I read that part). I also loved that this is were we're introduced ot Yuma and Saya, Hisoka's personal fangirls. They're so funny.

Book 4 altogether is defintely one of my FAVOURITE books. The first two stories practically gave me nose bleeds, I was laughing so much! From Yuma and Saya's huggle treatments (which would have looked so hilarious on screen but nevermind, I love the anime as it is) too the hotsprings, to seeing the cast so out of their elements, Tatsumi's glasses off, Watari's hair up, everyone half naked, the boob jokes, the gay jokes, the Hisoka is under developed jokes, the Tsuzuki cooking jokes, the why is there a crocidile in the water and talking animals and their facial expression jokes, the fluff with Hisoka and the fear of the dark and Tsuzuki winning the contest, the introduction of Wakaba, Terazuma and he's monsterness, Konoe and he's back, the game at the start, Watari's potion, the beauty in the art, the near kiss and te fact Hisoka looks so innocent with those labels and so nonpluss he looks soooo like, whatever lets just, you know, and the fact Tsuzuki's so offended he wasn't chosen and omg!!. I love it!! It's class!!

Who do you think would kill Tera first? The count? or Tats? xDDDD

The count would be on him first, but he can't really do anything and would just be all fussy. Then Terazuma would've been all like, "I didn't WANT to kiss him!" , and they would've gone off into some pointless argument.

But after the tournament, Tatsumi could do some things either using his authority to make Tera's life miserable, or afterwards, when no one is watching...*evil grin* (I don't know what he'd do, but I know it'd be pretty awesome...but not for Terazuma)

"Tatsumi KICKU!"

.....I loved that... XDDDD Even though Tats used the all mighty attack against the count, I'm sure it could be used against Terazuma as well. X3
