Help!

claire_wain is ordering fabric for clothesmaking purposes. I'd really like a skirt made from this - but not without knowing what it says. Does anyone know enough kanji to translate it?

Until The Full Moon

Saying "It was as bad as I expected" would be an easy way out, and wouldn't let me share the sheer pain of this book with you :D ( Spoilers, or warnings if you prefer )

Anyway, after that I needed my Saiyuki fix. Only one volume to go now (and it's sat on my shelf, calling to me) and I'm up to date with ...Reload. Dammit, I'm now half-way through two stories where I want to give everyone big hugs and make everything better. The "Burial" arc and - well, Hakkai in general, but especially his interactions with Gojyo - quite appropriately left me feeling as if I'd had my guts ripped out. Comics shouldn't be able to do that to me.
