I think I didn't want to know that Kodaka Kazuma is drawing Gankutsu-ou doujinshi, given that I just this day read the last installment of Hana to Ryuu preparatory to a translation. Given also that I *know* she's doing Count x Albert because, well, because she has an oyaji fixation. I don't want to see her doujinshi, I truly don't; I don't; really, I don't. No-one can do new and useful with that theme; worse, no-one can do it better than the anime itself, and I doubt even as well. Only if they did the A/U I really longed to see, the one where Albert doesn't hurl his glove at the Count.

Repeat this often enough and I may believe it. I do believe the last two sentences at any rate. Just as I never saw a decent Utena dj, so I doubt there's such a thing as a decent Gankutsu-ou dj.

I haven't actually seen Gankutsu-ou yet, but I have seen the doujinshi. Must say that the cover ... is frightful (an extreme, oddly coloured closeup of someone with much long dark hair). I only flipped briefly through the interior so other than saying the art's on par with her current PoT dj, can't vouch for content.

Long dark hair and frightul is the Count, who has blue skin and fangs. (He's also, mutatis mutandis, the perfect cultivated European aristocrat meeting the brash young bourgeois American, a la Henry James.) I don't know her PoT work but the fact she's doing it at all rather confirms my feelings that I don't want to see what she does to Gankutsu-ou.
