I think the discussion thread on Soka-chan can be a great start!
But... Unfortunate and extremely screwed up doesn't cut it, I think. =X
has anybody else noticed how SCARY they are??? MAN.
but personally, it's like Matsushita-san had dumped nearly all of anime/manga's cliches on Hisoka and his family.
Cursed hero, cursed family tree, cursed child, etc etc etc.
Wow.

It's just a big ol... CURSED LINIAGE
[[light spoilerage for those who haven't read book 10 or 11]]
Something's rotten in the state of Dennmark--I mean.. Kamakura XD
...
With stain'd incestuous sheets.
I mean, the whole Rui/Rui's Twin(Kasane) marrying the same man... probably not too long after the other died
And the other's ghost coming back to take revenge?
Hmmm. <3

I don't /like/ them. I don't like Nagare, either. No matter how much pity I feel for the man, I still don't like him.
HIGHLIGHT IF YOU WANT SPOILERS
HE LET THEM KILL HIS FIRST CHILD I MEAN WTHELL IS WRONG WITH THAT?? THE MAN HAS NO MORALS IF THEY STAND IN THE WAY OF HIS FAMILY'S 'GLORIOUS DESTINY' XP

Didn't highlight cos I can't read spoliers until book 12 comes out.
Omg that is so true, Yoko DID practically slam every anime/manga cliche on that poor hapless family, and battered them with it, repeatedly, until they all ended up screwed up and dark and sick and omg someone just give em a break.
To be honest, I agree with what Whispers of a Ghost said many a long time ago in the Yami forums past.
I remember because I remember laughing out loud and thinking that the thought came in my head myself when reading that bit.
That village sucks. Stuff that, the Kurosaki family must live my arse O.o, I'd just die and stuff procreating, town of losers, live with your suffering if yourselves is all you care about. Pah.
Moving on, did anyone else here hear a creepy sound in the background on the last page of book 11, I almost saw the screen zooming in on the paintings on the wall I swear, and some creepy dramatic music building and then dissipating and the screen fading to black on that bit, *shudders* Yoko man.
I wonder what it would have been like animated. I hope they'd skip the, you know, THAT bit.

I mean. I don't think the village KNEW about what I wrote in the spoilers. but MAN..
It's a cursed place. No wonder Hisoka didn't like it- with or without his powers.

The village did know what happened. They are all in what happens with the Kurosaki family. Poor Hisoka, he not only had to grow up with that family but to be raised in that village. I've been to Kamakura a couple of times and I could just feel the history there. I know this may sound strange but I feel closer to Hisoka by just being there. I'm curious which part of Kamakura is the Kurosaki family suppose to live in. Its a pretty big place with many, many temples and shrines as well as the Daibutsu (great big Buddha statue-I mean its freaking huge). I think I said this before but I wonder what are Nagare's true feelings for Hisoka. A part of me hopes that he really does love his son but I just don't know.
I do find the Kurosaki family fascinating (afterall, it is Hisoka's family) and I hope to learn more about them in future volumes.

I don't know how I'm going to react to that part Jihye mentioned, once it's actually published in English... ;_;
And woah you've been there XD
Did you do the Watari thing? "Woooooah! A GIANT BUDDAH (It's huge!)"
XDD Sorry, had to throw that out there.

I've never been to Kamakura. But laustic has. 8D
however, I don't know if I even go- but I probably will do the Buddha thing. XDDD

Its pretty standard for anyone who visits Kamakura to go see the giant Buddha statue. Its one of the great monuments of Kamakura. I think it may be one of the oldest Buddha statues in Japan. Its a nice place and when I go there I just think wow, Hisoka grew up here.

he grew up there- but that doesn't mean he liked it. I don't think that a basement counts much as Kamakura, anyways. If you grew up in a subway street under Manhattan, can you say that you grew up in NYC?
|

I never said that Hisoka liked being there. I was merely commenting that it was cool to be in a place where Hisoka was raised. If the basement is in Kamakura then yes, I think you can still say someone was raised there.

bweh. each to her own, then. XD
I still think that it's a pretty nice place, considering the rich historical background, but THEN AGAIN- not every little corner of Japan is pretty. 
and I kinda wonder if that.. demon kinda KNEW if the Kurosaki's lived there, of if it just came with the property.

Did the demon live there or did it terrorize all of Kamakura? And yes, not all of Japan is beautiful but I guess we can say that about any country. I really do feel bad for the Kurosaki family as a whole. For generations they have to suffer for what their ancestor and village did.
I can't wait for Yoko Matsushita to finish this arc. I hope a new YnM chapter will come out in Jan/Feb. I noticed that the last chapters (or whatever they were) came out every few months and I think the next one should be due sometime in the beginning of the New Year.

You know, earlier I was reading some of Theria's YnM translations of the Kamakura arc and I didn't realize that Watari wanted to go onto the Enoden train and I just thought to myself, 'Cool I've been on that train twice!'
I don't remember where I read this but someone described the Kurosaki family as gothic and when I think about it I have to say that I agree. The Kurosaki's are a very old traditional family and they have deep secrets that have haunted them for generations. Plus the history is full of tragedy. I won't say what some of the tragedies are since some people may not have read the translations and don't want to be spoiled. Still, the Kurosaki do remind me of gothic books that I've read over the years.
