Awhile back Tony and I watched the first five episodes of the Persona anime. And had no idea what was going on. Despite the fact that I've read some of the manga and he's played all the games. Characters kept doing this thing called "shadow stripping" which actually just looked a lot like rape. So then when some girls are getting dragged into a room and someone started lifting up one of their shirts we were like, "wait is someone actually getting raped now or is this just more shadow stripping.." I still have no idea what "shadow stripping" is.

I was lent Persona 3 though, so I could get a better idea of what was going on. Persona is this really original idea where you shoot yourself in the head to fight these things called Shadows. The anime had these twins that were Maka Albarn and Soul Evans look alikes. The game has this guy named Akihiko who is really just 5YL Ryohei who moved his nose tape over to the side to hide his scar. CAN'T FOOL ME BUDDY.

Needless to say, I got the sudden urge to catch up in the Hitman Reborn manga. Also someone sent me this Byakuran page. He looks like he got caught in a wheat thresher, how could I resist such style?? Now that I'm caught up I have to say, can we be done with this arc yet? It's been going for eeeeooooons. I'm really uninterested in the new Millfore guardians though I do like the latest chapter and Irie's descriptions of his time travel. I don't even really get the tournament right now, like do we have to suffer through like eight more of these battles? How do we know how many there will be? I'm assuming that can't just be it since:
1. It's a shonen manga
2. Not everyone has been able to show off yet (especially Hibari)
3. Wtf is this manga going to be about if they just hand over their rings and boxes?
4. It's a shonen manga

Currently, am recovering from a night out at the bars. I woke up at 8am and couldn't fall asleep again. Tummy is a little upset but otherwise fine. I got drinks bought for me all night which was awesome because I like to save my money for my much nerdier pursuits.

series: persona, series: hitman reborn!
