NakagawaRyou

Yes, all hail Takahashi-sensei. She has a new series now, Rin'ne, and it's so far so great. You can actually read it online on Viz's Rumic World site. I love UY (obviously, #5), home to many of my all-time favorite manga characters (Tobimaro, Cherry, Ran-chan, and many more). What the hell, here's the rest of my Top 30: 30. Devilman (1972~1973, Nagai Gou) 29. Pyu to Fuku! Jaguar (2000~present, Usuta Kyousuke) 28. Gintama (2003~present, Sorachi Hideaki) 27. Kyoukai no Rin'ne (2009~present, Takahashi Rumiko) 26. Real (1999~present, Inoue Takehiko)

Nakagawa Ryou is the main character of a story I'm writing called High School Boy Ryou. I have since adopted it as my penname, although I plan on publishing High School Boy Ryou under the name "Anonymous McGee". My actual full penname is The Late Nakagawa Ryou. I added the "late" part out of sorrow after my father died, but I ended up liking the way it sounded, so I kept it as is.

Mine was Hajime no Ippo: New Challenger. It's the second anime based on my favorite manga and it was great to see not only a continuation of the first anime, but also the return of the entire main voice cast(except for Kumi's v.a.). It was also great to see characters like Itagaki and Brian Hawk finally animated, but it sucked it ended where it did, but it was an obvious cliffhanger, which means... SEQUEL!!!

Yes, Columbo is greatness. The detective in my story is inspired by Columbo, Poirot, and Akechi Kogoro.

yeah, pretty much, Q.E.D.'s pretty close too, though...

Off the top of my head, there's Kindaichi Case Files, Tantei Gakuen Q, Q.E.D., Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro, and Death Note... although Death Note is more about seeing two detectives outwit each other than the actual solving of crimes...

I intend to submit it to a few places. It took me about a week, but I have the whole story pieced together and figured out (it's a locked room case and my culprit had too strong of an alibi). Now I just need to write it, which I'll prob'ly do tomorrow.

The Late Nakagawa Ryou here. I just wanted to introduce myself, seeing as I've been here awhile but never said anything. I honestly mainly joined to work on the DC Wiki, and just recently discovered that this forum came with it. Not much else to say except that I hate racism and intolerance but love music, cinema, voice acting, manga, and detective fiction (I love reading in general, but this is mainly what I read). I'm actually currently working on my own detective short story. Errr, sorry, I talk too much sometimes...
