my insanity

[rispacooper]

has me comparing (again) Inuyasha to Ideas of Sin.

Though is a slight resemblance I will admit, vaguely in the ideas of redemption...regaining your humanity...cast aside son and all that. And if Rene and James were teenagers sent on a quest, it would probably resemble the anime to a frightening degree. And I suppose, some characters are just archetypes. Heh, but here is my crazy list so far.

Inuyasha---clearly, Rene (no manners, yet purity lust for James)
Kagome---well that's James (though weirdly I must say Kikyo is more of Rene's maman...though one could say she had that role for Inuyasha as well...taming him). They do both have the name calling thing down. "Inuyasha! Kagome! Inuyasha! Kagome!" shut up already we know. Sadly though, James and Rene are not innocently sexually frustrated teenagers. That would be totally adorable however.
Miroku (sexy pimp man)---Mirena is the closest, which is awesome. (Miroku...the character most often compared to me aside from occasionally Fluffy references).
Sango is a problem--I could make her Thierry...since she helps out once in a while, but has no actual purpose. Utterly useless really.
Sesshy is another problem---Etienne ought to occupy this space, but there is no way in hell he is that hardcore. Etienne only takes this role on loosely. Once again he fails in the role given to him, poor baby.
Shippo---that's Ben. One day, that boy is gonna grow up and get hot, as recent episodes testified.
Naraku-- heh. that's daddy
Though Inuyasha's daddy is really more of God in Rene's world. Lord of the Western lands. *giggle*
Deniau---another problem. Koga of the Wolves I would guess. A little bloodthirsty rivalry going on. Though has he an interest in James' ass? That remains to be seen. (More of Rene's really)

heh heh
My geek thesis.

God I have had too much espresso today.

FAKE

I looked it up. There are some pretty good pics and character profiles for this manga out there (which means very devoted fans...promising). I am a little scared of manga because I was hopelessly addicted to comic books for a while, and my bank account cannot afford another obsessive hobby. But you're right, it does look very similiar, especially when they 'adopt' the street kid, Bicky or Vicky... Whew. I also saw some pics. Maybe piratefancier would be interested in those, as she was reqesting James/Rene fanart. There was one in particular...

There's only 7 volumes, and you can usually just go to a bookstore and read them right there - they don't make much of a fuss about it.
