I love Yasuko Aoike with a deep and obsessive love, but LEOPARD SOLID will never ever stop being hysterically funny to me. Especially since most of her Western characters have halfway plausible names, which makes him seem all the more ridiculous in contrast. (Even Sugar Plum or Tom Cat I could halfway justify as being saddled with bad childhood nicknames that stuck, or having the misfortune to have been born to parents with either tin ears or utterly dreadful senses of humour.)
Also, am now wondering if the way to get over my lifelong semi-irrational aversion towards reading Austen would be to acquire a plaintext ebook version and search-and-replace the original names with ludicrous manga characters. Mr. Darcy, of course, will be played by LEOPARD SOLID.
