Hi brain, let's talk, shall we?
Please stop fandom hopping. Why are we suddenly revisiting Robotech now while we're still very interested in St Seiya? Let me focus on St Seiya for a while longer before we go nooming off into Robotech, please? I hate when you get to be a chipmunk on crack when it comes to fandoms...

well, I can see why the anime changed the hair colors - nearly every one of the Gold Saints on the cover of volume 24 is a blasted blond (not that there's anything wrong with blonds mind you, but ugh, I count one redhead and possibly two with dark hair - don't see Libra on the cover and I know he's dark haired)

but more intriguing is in volume 24 is a map of Hades' realm. Hello, Dante's Inferno.

search Amazon for volumes 14-25, 27 of Saint Seiya


(why no 1-13? Because I only want the Poseidon and Hades arcs and the listed volumes are for those arcs. I already have 26 and 28)

edit 3/16:
ordered vol24, 25 - 24 is a big reveal volume for the Hades arc and I really want to see it. I would have gotten 14 but that's a bit more expensive than I wanted to pay.

So, my manga count is vol24-26, 28

Lise looked at Selene and gestured helplessly. "What the hell did you bring us on? Because they haven't spoken that version of Hindu since the time of the Buddha," she said, gesturing to the blonde that had his eyes closed. "Hell if I can even catch a word of what he's saying although," she gestured first to the one with the ram's horns before she gestured back at the blonde, "he seems to be able to understand. And that's not even taking into account that he's speaking Portuguese!" she continued, gesturing to the bull-helmed one. "And fuck if I know why there's an Italian conversing with the lot but from every other word I can make out, he's wondering why we're fucking here," she groused.

Selene held up her hands in defense. "Calm down, Lise, please! I'm sure there's an explanation as to who these Gold suited tin cans are."

Milo glanced over at the blonde female. "Did she just call us tin cans?" he asked, looking at the others in confusion.

Selene glanced over at the Gold plated tin cans that seemed intent on following her and Lise around the excavation site. She took a small steadying breath and turned slowly, her blue eyes settling on the one that was causing her the most grief. A tight smile crossed her features and she reached over to her left, grabbing something and then tossed it at him.

Milo startled before he caught the ..shovel? He looked at the shovel and then at the girl.

"If you lot are going to be a collective pain in our ass," she said, her words dripping with icy sarcasm, "then you might as well pull your weight around here and help the fuck out or you can take your little tin-plated asses out of this digsite."

Mu brought up one hand to hide a laugh behind it - even going as far as to masquerade it as a cough, but Milo shot him a withered look anyway since Mu had completely failed to hide the amusement in his eyes.

Aphrodite turned his attention to the pretty yet mouthy little blonde. "Spend a lot of time looking at our asses then?" he all but purred.

Selene sputtered indignantly - even more so when she heard the soft laughter of her long-time friend ripple forth at that.

"She," Lise started before Aphrodite snapped a "he". "He," she began again, barely batting an eye at the correction, "has a bit of a point."

It was just a small box - nothing flashy, easily overlooked. But the contents hidden within - the small box held such hope, such promise. He glanced at the box in his hand, the one that would seal his fate from now until the day he died. He quietly walked over to her, settling down next to her. "Hey," he murmured softly, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "I got you something."

"Oh?" she answered, tilting her head to look at him.

He offered the small box, trying to not as nervous as he felt. A silent prayer escaped him as he waited to see her reaction of the contents.

She opened it slowly, her eyes widening in surprise before she glanced at him. "Is this?" she asked.

He nodded. "Will.. Will you do me the honor of being my wife?" he asked.

She studied the ring before sliding it on. "If you will be my husband, then I will be your wife," she answered, a smile crossing her features.

He let out a cry of delight and kissed her deeply.
