Manta Oyamada : Pants Unlike Any Other
Manta Oyamada. He's just like any other boy. He atends school. He has friends. He eats. He inhales oxygen.
Sounds like a pretty ordinary kid, right? Well...that's both right and wrong.
Manta wears pants...which is pretty ordinary in the real world, but not in this story, for this sory is not of this world. He is also the heir to the prestigous Oyamada Electronics Company. Which is far from ordinary...not many boys are heirs to muti-million dollar corporations.
For your reading pleasure, I implore you to utilize your imagination during this upcoming section. You will find it highly uncool if you do not! Or, if you would rather be cynical, which is fine by me, and do not do what I have so kindly asked, you shall suffer, because then the story would be lightless and unmagical. Which wouldn't be fun at all. (AN : Did you take this seriously? Silly! I was kidding!).
Manta's pants are green. The most vivid green anyone could ever hope to see (this is where your imagination would be put to good use!). His pants may be something that even the poorest of the poor does not have; he has PANTS THAT ARE FIT FOR A MIDGET.
Now, if Manta were to grow a couple inches (in height; not width), he might be able to wear pants that are fit for a king! Or talking ham sandwiches.
Good. The fact that Manta's pants are green is established. But did you know that on these pants that are rich in the color called green, have...dare I say it? POCKETS. These pockets are conveniently found on the back of the pants, postioned on the rear end.
Are you excited yet? Well, if you aren't, here's the most exciting part about Manta's pants. A ZIPPER! Which can be found where most zippers are customarily put. Y'know, a ZIPPER! It has this thingy that you pull up so that it closes the thingies on the side! The zipper...invented so that people can tell you, "Examine your zipper!(xyz!)", in the unlikely event that it should be open!
Repetition is good, isn't it? It drills things into your head so that you will remember it, regardless of whether you want to or not. Which is why I will repeat. MANTA HAS PANTS THAT ARE FIT FOR A MIDGET. That's because he IS a midget!
Imagine if you will, the length of these petty/midget-y pants. It's about 3 squirrels (very much alive and not dead) stacked on top of each other vertically in length. In width, it would be about 5 eggs put side to side.
That was rather tedious, reading all that info, huh? GUESS WHAT? It gets even better!
Manta, knowing full well that since this chaper was titled "Manta Oyamada : Pants Unlike Any Other", knew that it was his turn to waltz. Not wanting to be scared by the abrupt speech his pants were going to soon make, he dediced to be the first to talk.
He put sheets of cheese, imported from France, all around his house (imagination,people!), in the hopes of preventing the Shaman King cast from witnessing the seemingly most hilairious thing they'd ever seen. But, as you all know, the Shaman King cast got in anyway, thanks to Horohoro who ate the 1,000 pounds of cheese!
He then preceded to talk to his pants. Being unsuccessful, he kicked (oh dear!) his pants high into the sky. But the pants, who were strong mentally and physically, and landed back onto the floor. The pants would speak of their own accord.
Manta curled up into a ball and sucked his thumb. He had failed so extravagantly. It's at such moments like these, my friends, that pants talk and our worst fears are realized.
Manta's pants did not talk. They simply went through a series of pants signals, commonly known as "the sign language of the pants." When he pants mimed waltzing, Manta knew what that meant. Nothing good could come from this, and he already knew that the Shaman King cast had managed to get in.
And so they waltzed. The Shaman King cast (including the non-pants wearing others), all watched in stunned silence, enraptured. When had Manta learned to waltz so well? Why, just a minute ago, when someone pounded into his head the rules of waltzing. With a hammer.
HOORAY! HERE COMES THE EXCITING PART : PART TWO!
Choose how you would like this to end (no, you are not voting...)
(A)-Manta stopped suddenly in the middle of waltzing. He dediced to go to France and jumped off the Eiffel (how do you spell that?) Tower, only to be rescued by his pants. Manta decides to become a mime and let his pants become the heir to the Oyamda Electronics Co.
(B)-Mannoko (manta's little sister), stole the pants after the wonderful waltz and sold them on ebay. To purchase the pants you had to surrender 6 dollars, 5 dollies, 15 sticks of butter, and one live squirrel. Someone actually agreed to this ridiculous deal and the pants were sold. The pants never waltzed again, and Manta lost the only waltzing partner he ever had.
(C)-The Shaman King cast was so touched by how adorable the waltz was that they took 50 snapshots of this waltz. 50 photos of the most lively waltz ever, captured on film. 50 Kodak moments. 50 photos that Manta would rip into confetti if it were ever in his possesion.

AN : Repost Feb. 17! Yay!
KimBob-Thanks for the note about Ren's 4th pair of pants! I can't change it now, but thanks for reading my author's note. I didn't think that people would actually read those...(insert happy face here). Just so you know, you're the only one who reviewed so far, so thanks! Strawberries in paraffin for you!
sakuuya-about your last review-I kind of responded incorrectly, so...here's a much better response! It's great that you had a warm, special feeling! He/she was rather friendly. Do warm special feelings like butercream icing? Oh yes, I was reading you profile...why do you dislike Yami Yugi so greatly? Just wondering...he's rather charismatic, you know!
