Links
Hooray for the ever-expanding English fandom for Sono Te/Hands Off! I reorganized this section a bit and added a bunch of stuff--anything new is in green ink. Happy reading/viewing/joining!
I'm not sure I'm going to bother with banners (they're not very popular these days), but behold my horrible buttons!
If you want to link to this site, feel free to use one of those or wait for when I design something that doesn't bite. Oh, or design your own and donate it, since we can all see I have absolutely no talent in design.
The official English site of the Tokyopop manga can be found here.
Fansites:
Virtually the same site in different versions, though the Sekai Seifuku one has more stuff on it. Kristin was the pioneer of Sono Te goodness on the web, considering she wrote the translation of Act 1 way back in the day and created the first English Sono Te fansite. Great pictures, too.
Fanart:
The deviantART community has a Sono Te fanart fanclub, also known as The Hands Off! Club. This place rocks! But be warned--I wouldn't be surprised if things get a little more adult here over time.
Fanfiction:
Fanfiction.net now has its own section for Sono Te/Hands Off! fics (YES!), which can be found here. Particularly impressive is Lamenting Fox's story The King of Hell, although there are also a fair number of solid character fanfics here. PLEASE NOTE THE RATINGS ON INDIVIDUAL FANFICS, as some are adult (usually yaoi).
Because fanfiction.net didn't have a "Hands Off!" section for some time, a few stories appeared in the "Misc. Anime" section back in the day. Here are the ones I found:
Feeling the Pain by Lamenting Fox
Something He Will Never Have by Bloody Kitten (very yaoi--rated M)
Baka! by Ryuueiki
Eva-Kokaze-Black wrote some Sono Te fanfics before the manga made it into English and posted them on her fanfiction.net profile here, though be careful, there are spoilers for the end of the series in them. Her two fics are supposed to take place after the final volume, and there's back-referencing, so...yeah. Only for those of you who like spoilers.
Fanlistings:
Boy, there were a lot of these for a while! Those listed below are the fanlistings still active:
Oohira Kotarou Fanlisting @ Anime Child
Triple Your Psychics, Triple Your Fun (hmm...that sidebar picture looks familiar)
Reviews:
There are a bunch in Amazon's Hands Off! section, obviously.
There's a great one on OtakuBoards here.
And the best review EVER, since Kethylia is famous for being well-read, intelligent, and unapologetically cutthroat: see her talk about Hands Off! Volume 4. Note, a 5.5 rating from her means "solid for the genre." And she loved the translation! *beams*
Clubs/Other:
The Hands Off! Club on livejournal
Some pretty cool icons (may take a while to load; be sure to scroll down a bit)
Hands Off! chat at the Tokyopop forums
More links forthcoming, hopefully. Anybody else feel like making a site? Hint hint?
