Another thing that I dislike is killing off promising characters, such as Koji and Mayumi. Stan's got good story reasons for that, of course, but I'd have loved to see more of them (I think in the first case a flashback story might be done). Hmm... Never thought of it that way (the 'respecting the characters' part). You're also spot on regarding Inazuma and the "death is life cut short far too early". As for Koji, yes, I agree - that's what he was there for.

Gen pulled me into the franchise. Kitsune made sure I'll never leave.
Third is a very complicated call.
- Tomoe is one that grew on me, but I'm not sure she'd be there. - I like Jotaro a lot, but I think the "should I tell him" situation is dragging its feet. - I think I'd settle for Jei, since Inazuma is gone. - Sakura shows promise but, so far, we haven't seen enough of her.
Also, I'm sure Stan would do either a Sasuke or Ishida solo series if he had more time. He seems to have so much fun with those characters.

Thank you! Hope to contribute to the discussions I've just finished re-reading Sagas 1-6. Will buy and start on 7, then start my way up the Fantagraphics (although Gen's book - #7 - was the first one I read). Oh, I also bought and read Legends. Oh I do know that, but I began with the Saga editions and I don't want to lose momentum. Besides, the good thing about UY is that you can jump in at any given point and follow the series thereafter. Thanks for pointing it out, anyway I miss Gen a lot (can you tell?) and I love his dynamics with Stray Dog. But, barring a few exceptions here and there, I think all UY characters are fun, which is why I love the series so much in the first place. Another thing that I dislike is killing off promising characters, such as Koji and Mayumi.

BTW, I might be wrong, seeing that the last story I read was released almost 9 years ago, but I've got the impression Stan hasn't done much with Gen or Stray Dog lately.

Hi guys, new poster here.
While I consider most of her stories fun and a lighter fare, this is a very strong Kitsuné story. Noodle's crucifixion is jarring, especially because it shows clearly how high the stakes were in this particular adventure.
