Sugoi monogatari, aniki.

I am a greedy, selfish cow and must have all my needs met, now ;). I suppose because I'm not IN the fandom anymore and just do big manga catch ups I'm feeling a little deprived, but that can certainly be fixed by catching up on all the fan fiction I've missed (and this is one of the reasons why I heart you!). It's interesting that you mention REBORN!, because I've been hearing complaints about how REBORN! doesn't have character development while One Piece does, and I'm finding it all a bit confusing. I'm a Gokudera fan, and I think that he in particular has had constant and awesome character development and relationship expansion. Between that and all the Kouyuu backstory and current story we're getting at the moment in Saiunkoku (naturally once the anime has ended, arg), I really shouldn't be complaining. Things could certainly be worse ^^.
