Jason: Happy New Year and welcome to another month of American Comiket! This
month
I have very humorous 2 Weiss Kreuz crossovers to review. One is called
Pocket
Weiss, and the other is White Gravitation, both of which are brought to
you
by Omitchi!
The next doujinshi is Pocket Weiss which happens to be a Weiss
Kreuz/Pokemon crossover. I really loved the cover to this one. It shows
an
incandescent Pokeball with a cross on the front. Just from looking at the
cover, one can pretty much guess what it's about!
In this story, Omi is experimenting with a new hallucinogenic for his
darts. He decides to take a break and go with Ken to get something to
eat. In
doing so, Omi leaves one of his darts poking out from the table. Enter a
poor
Yohji who somehow backs up into the dart and is injected with the
hallucinogen.
What follows is a story that could only be thought up by Lewis
Carroll
(or Omitchi ^_^). Yohji has a very realistic dream that he is in the
world of
Pokemon where Omi is a pikachu and Ken is a raichu. Unfortunately I don't
have a resident Pokemon expert on hand, so I wasn't able to figure out
what
Aya was supposed to be. Maybe it was a vulpix?
While I preferred White Gravitation's story over Pocket Weiss, the
latter of the two definitely had the better artwork. The inks were bold
and
this book seemed to be made for the format in which it was printed.
Facial
expressions on all of the characters (especially Yohji) were priceless.
I'm a big Yohji fan and I love seeing Yohji put into humorous
predicaments such as the one in Pocket Weiss. This story was very cute
and
entertaining. Hopefully one day we'll see more of Yohji's Pokemon dreams
(nightmares?).
I'm so used to seeing angst-ridden Weiss Kreuz fanfics and doujinshis
that White Gravitation and Pocket Weiss were both a breath of fresh air
for
me. Both stories are something I would recommend to yaoi and non-yaoi
fans. I
look forward to seeing more from Omitchi in the future, especially if
there
are more volumes of White Gravitation involved. ^_^
Until next time, see ya later and take good care of yourselves!

Janette: Pocket Weiş was more on the warped side. It crossed over Weiss Kreuz
and...Pokemon!
It was like an Alice in Wonderland drug trip, with Youji
getting hit with a dart filled with a poison that causes hallucinations.
I fell over laughing at the half-Pokemon, half Weiss charas. The art was
rougher in this doujinshi, but it fit the mood because I suppose that
Youji isn't seeing so clearly anyway. And Omi as a Pikachu character was
hilarious. It sounded like it should be so wrong, but it works.
I admit, when I read Weiss Kreuz doujinshi I usually like more yaoi. But
these were so funny that I enjoyed them immensely.
