oyceterOof. It is very confusing reading the new Godchild and the new Cain Saga at the same time, as I tend to mix up elements and forget what happens when.
When I was first thinking about writing this, I was actually not as excited as I usually am. I think this is because of the high pitch of excitement that I have been at all day, partly because of personal stuff going well and partly because of the awesome Cool Bits Generator and the growing list of cracktastic things.
And then I opened the volume to flip to a page, remembered the main plot point, and nearly fell over cackling with glee. I swear, this is more cracktastic than most of the things I have read today, and I say this while emphasizing that I have been reading a LOT of cracktastic things today.
OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!
I just posted "(c'mon Jizabel Disraeli! You are disappointing me! Where is your head in a jar that you want to sew back onto an immortal body to bring back to life*??)" in my Cain Saga 4 post a few days ago. And then...
OH MY GOD! And then Godchild 5 has! -- No, not a head in jar for an immortal body because Yuki Kaori has her own Very Special Brand of Crack! --
Cassian, the hundred-year-old stuck in a boy's body, gets his BRAIN TRANSPLANTED!!!!
Into someone else's body! Dude! WTF?! Awesome!
I have no idea how the hell she comes up with this stuff!!!
Oh yeah, there is also terrible angst in which we think Cain will hurt Riff except not really because I know Cain and I know he and Riff will have communicated secretly via the twitches of their left nostrils about the latest Plan and Subterfuge.
And Cain dresses up like a girl again. Well, sort of. Cain dresses up like a guy who has been dressing up as a girl. And there are mysterious torture devices as well. Yuki Kaori is really remarkably well read. Just in rather unusual subjects...
But most importantly: BRAIN TRANSPLANT INTO ANOTHER BODY!
Oh Godchild. You make me so happy.

The Viz translation is going for "Cain," which works for me, given the whole biblical thing, but then they go for "Jizabel" and "Mary Weather" which just seems bizarre and not-well-thought-out.
