- Princess princess :
The french edition was out a couple of days and like an addicted to junk foodmanga I went out of my way to pick it up.
I remember that the anime put the emphasis on Tohru and Mikoto's first encounter, you know with the slow motion and the background of pink love. So the logical conclusion was that Mikoto and Tohru would be special friends but no, not at all. Like the manga the anime made it clear but later Yuujirou and Tohru were the item of the story. Mikoto is at best at Sakamoto's level i.e. a bit above nameless background characters.
What I found interesting is that Tsuda sensei started princess princess as a BL and Yuujirou and Tohru were meant to be together. Since she wanted to go mainstream she changed a bit the story. But clearly who is going to believe that Princess princess is a straight story ?
Oh and the omake behind the cover is hilarious. "Prince prince" would have make my junk food list too (especially a "prince prince of tennis" remake would be perfect. Who is up for a AU fic ?) Can't wait to read the second tank with the family complex side story.
- Naruto :
I still follow the manga out of habit but I lost my interest for it since Sasuke and Kakashi are there only now and then. It's like reading/watching the James Bond serie and being only interested in the outcome of Q's fate. Although I had to concede those last weeks were delightful as Sasuke did come back and was forming his little squad of worshippers.
Guess what ? The only girl has a crush on him. It's like Kishimoto sensei can not compute how a girl could not fall for Sasuke....

So Rikkai versus Seigaku in the final ?
100% of chance that my heart is going to be crushed by Rikkai's defeat >__<. (and it's not ii data)

Meanwhile I sort of became of video games freak since the percentage of video games blog and bbs I read is now bigger than the anime/manga ones.
I'm and always was a Nintendo fan. It's nothing rational, it's just that my first memories of game video are composed of afternoons with the boy next door playing NES games (duckhunt was fun) and being totally not impressed with playstation 3D. To me, Sony and Microsoft killed the spirit (Yes I'm aware there's good games on PS2 but to me it killed the dreamcast, home of Chuchu rocket)
Well DS and Wii brought me back at home. Can't wait to play Cooking Mama on Wii and the next Gyakuten Saiban.
- Mistful rec
Could she stop being so prolific ? I weep since it's been so long she didn't update Quality of mercy that I couldn't remember how I miss her Charlie until today.
Drop Dead Gorgeous part 5 update yesterday.
I like Maya's style but I can't help myself being disappointed by that particular fic. It began so funny and fast paced... and now it took a weird turn toward her usual Draco's circus. It's still funny since her writing is enjoyable buut the fic lost its wacky premise... well there's still hope since she usually writes long fics. The wacky will have many chance to return !
The Way we get by : newYet Another fic (no longer a one shot since LJ limit means nothing for our brilliant H/D lover). Draco centric this time (Drop dead gorgeous is more or less a Harry's POV isnt' it ?)
