[badtzphoto]

• Animation:
  
  1. Frozen
     - Watched on tiny airplane screen. It was good. The story is not at all like The Snow Queen.
     - It's "sisterly" misunderstanding, protecting.
     - The parents suddenly out of the pictures when the girls were older. I wonder what happened to them!
     - will get the dvd/blue ray to rewatch and collect, but given a dvd.
     
• Chapter Book:
  
  1. The Emerald Atlas: book 1 of Books of Beginning Trilogy by John Stephens.
     - Borrowed from BPL.
     - read by Jim Dale.
     - Very good series about the weight of responsibilities of the chosen ones.
     - Siblings love.
     - Magic, dwarfs, wizards, witches.
     - will reserved #2. #3 will be released Aug this year.
• Manga:
  
  1. Missions of Love 6 by Ema Toyama.
     - borrowed from ILL.
     - The rocking entertaining story continues. I broke my resolution of not borrowing any manga until I make a dent in my tbr pile because I didn't want to forget the story! Excuses, excuses!
  2. Afterschool Charisma 8 by Kumiko Suekane.
     - Borrowed from BPL.
     - Shiro doesn't know whom to trust anymore. He can only trust himself.
     - Discussions on nature vs nurture, if these clones have the same genes of the originals, will they have the same personalities and fates?

• Via Manga Conseil, Le fil rouge (Akaiito) by Kaho Miyasaka, the author of Kare First Love, is licensed by Panini, volume 1 will be out July 2014: here
• Wolf Girl & Black Prince by Ayuko Hatta 8 volumes ongoing will be animated via ANN, I hope the anime will be licensed in the US and the manga will follow, so I'll hold off buying the French volumes for now.
