Two posts in one day, whut?
FROM WIKIPEDIA:
In what was believed to be due to a dispute between CLAMP and the editors of Asuka, the manga was put on hiatus in Japan as of March 2003. Supposedly, Asuka felt the series was becoming too violent, however, CLAMP were unwilling to change their plans for X 's plotline. As a result, X and Gohō Drug, CLAMP's manga being serialised in Asuka at the time, were put on hold indefinitely. In an interview from PUFF magazine which can be viewed here, CLAMP claims that while it was true Asuka believed the series was getting too violent, the primary reasons for X's hiatus were the Great Hanshin earthquake and the Sakakibara incident, both of which devastated Japan. As X portrays earthquakes as a sign of the end of days and contains depictions of extreme mutilation and decapitation, CLAMP decided it was not the right time to release the ending they had planned.
OKAY. THAT'S TOTALLY JUST NOT FAIR. THAT'S IT, ASUKA MAGAZINE, YOU'RE ON NOTICE!!!!
Because, yeah, I get the Earthquake thing, but what did that have to do with Goho Drug? Not that I care about GoHo Drug, but *still*. XxxxxXXXXxxx. T___T
EDIT: I'm thinking that I should re-categorize 'student loans' as: DEAD TO ME. They're still processing EARLY FUCKING JUNE. I'll be lucky if I get my student loan before my birthday. Lawl, no textbooks for Jenn until the second semester! Yaayz!
