Thirty years, over one hundred tomes, more than enough to see characters getting old and married, to see kingdoms rise and fall. But a question was never answered: Is Guin’s leopard head a mask or a natural part of himself?

This question will never be answered. Kaoru Kurimoto left us on last evening, May 26th 2009, after a struggle against pancreatic cancer. Guin, Linda, Remus and Ishtvan are now orphans; and the saga will never be concluded. She have now joined Gygax, Jordan, Tolkien and other big names of the genre.

For those who still follow the animated adaptation, I still do, enjoy it.

This is my new timesink. Use the left and right arrow keys to lead Tenshi’s perpetual hop, and hope to crash in a blazing glory for the greatest pleasure of our favorite masochist. You may want to use the ability to switch to the other side of the game screen to reach platforms that appears impossible to reach. The cloud stage and the UFOs stages were difficult to me. However, I heard from Tempest from Asuki that it does get worse, he did 40k km after all. So, hopefully you will do better than me.

The new Spice & Wolf bring us back the good old and lovely Horo x Lawrence chemistry. On a sidenote, while I usually don’t like tsundere, IF Horo is one tsundere, I must say that she is one of the better tsundere around. Not only she is not cringeworthy like Louise, but she doesn’t appear outright, INYOURFACE, tsundere. Teasing and whimsical would be two better adjectives.

And this is what made Lawrence and Horo one of the more lovely couples in this decade (counting Tomoya and Nagisa here too).
