UPDATES

June 18, 2000 - =) I think I finally know what to put up in this section. ... I think.
If you want to really know Houshin Engi, go to:
http://hop.to/houshin
I think it's the best english Houshin site from what I have seen so far, and the layout is pleasing to the eyes. Plus, you can learn Japanese while you're there!

This is Chibi's site. You know the one who introduced me to Houshin. I'm sure you'll like visiting there, and it will give you the opportunity to know how the mind of a very interesting individual works. =) She's one of the few whose names make me grin when I hear or see them.

This one is an art site. It's a site which has fanarts and works based on different series. The artist is talented! Only three Houshin fanarts so far, and I HOPE there will be more. Her youzen pic is kawaii!

Two of those sites above have counter hits! Meaning, you can win beautiful pieces of art if you are the counter winner. It's a lovely concept though not new, and I think it very gracious of webmasters who have this feature on their sites.

I have decided to make post miscellaneous announcements and links on this page. *smiles sheepishly* It's all that I can do, and please head down to the links to other Houshin sites I've visited.

May 22, 2000 - Mini-site for Houshin Engi right now, but I do hope to keep on updating it, hopefully.

What is HoushinEngi?

Fact 1: It is foremost a series in the weekly digest Shounen Jump. It is the same digest which introduced Rurouni Kenshin and Yuu Yuu Hakusho.

Fact 2: Its master and creator is Ryu Fujisaki.

More facts to come... someday.

How did I learn about HoushinEngi?

Considering the sheer number of anime and manga series out there, it is through coincidence that I learned about this series.

The first time I heard about HoushinEngi was from an online acquaintance. HoushinEngi is a series which is an unknown in the Philippines at the time. In Japan though, it is very popular and becoming even more popular.

What brought HoushinEngi to my immediate attention and interest though is not due to mere mention. By accident, I bought the latest issue of Comic Box during my trip to Hong Kong. ( I really wish there was a Japanese bookstore around here. )

Comic Box is a magazine digest, just like Shounen Jump and Ribon with one very distinct difference. It's a doujinshi digest. ( You should know what that means, right? ) It's mostly yaoi or slash, at least in this issue I have. (looks defensive) No, I didn't know it was that sort when I bought it. My Japanese is barely beginner's level. How was I suppose to know it was like that. (points to image below) See? I bought it cause it looked interesting, and it appealed to me.

Needless to say, it reminded me of the series my friend mentioned and off I went searching online for it. So far, from what I have learned about it, it is a series to watch out for. For much more information about HoushinEngi, check out the links below.

More links to come.

When HoushinEngi becomes internationally popular, these sites will be what I term as "mother" sites. Among english houshin sites though. From what I've been told, there are more than a thousand Houshin sites in Japanese and in Chinese. I too hope to contribute, but right now, my HoushinEngi sources are very limited. I'll have to order overseas or go abroad for more HoushinEngi. ~ Yen ( June 2000 )

Still, I have something in here.
