Things I read recently...
❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦
Fhuwaaah~~~ Another monday.. I've got my deadline on time.. so I thought, why not take one time off the computer and doing things I wanna do, but usually can't!? ^__^ So, I'm spending the whole Saturday and a part of Sunday, lying around, reading books and watching movie files (trying to make the pile look less than before ^^;; )
I got to read LaLa6 and HTY10 (still grumbling because Kino hadn't got the next issue available just yet.. I mean.. issue11~12 supposed to be on sale since May, and yet.. arrrgghhh~~ At least I want that 2 mangazine right on time!! T_T ) and listening Gakuen Heaven Drama CD (no comment of this, it's just so-so.. if only they didn't list the seiyuu I like there, there's no way I'd listen to it in the near future ^^;; ) watching fate/stay night eps.17~20, and in the end, spent half of last night watching Garo eps. 13 up to 24 (one more eps to go!!) Umm.. if you go ahead, you might bump into spoilers here and there..
LaLa6.. as usual, my favorite title, Ouran Koukou Host Club, the ending of Monarl Princess arch (only 2 chapters though ^^;; ) Not the best chapters in the whole series, though.. but the ending in this chapter will be the link to the story in LaLa7!! 'Coz I got a quick peek on what happen to the wondrous host club **cough** in LaLa7, I just can't wait to have my own copy!! (and when is that to be, I wonder..) Basically, I read every title in this issue (except from gag and such).
Vampire Knight.. I can't understand why Akatsuki and Hanabusa didn't do a thing when Ichiru took Shizuka's body right in front of their noses!! She's not supposed to be in that school!! What the hell is in that Kurosu Principal's head!? Is he trying to make Kaname had an open battle with Shizuka!? (one pure blood down, then it will leave one more to go!?) Aarrgh... Whatever..
Kin'iro no Corda in this issue ended by Kahoko decided to participate in the 3rd selection of the concour as she supposed to be. At first, she wanted to quit and has been swaying between quitted or not. It was all because Tsukimori heard her play without the violin, and thought she's bad at it, and she should just quit. It's interesting when Tsuchiura learn out about this and said, 'I went all the way to the 3rd selection because you're also there.. and now you're telling me you wanna quit!?' Now now..
In this issue, 'Momoko Mannual' by Tachibana Yutaka ended its serialization, and the tankoubon will be out in Japan somewhere around this month. Personally, I'm not quite fond with the art style, but well.. it's not that bad.. The story itself seemed to be hilarious (at first), and then, it turned out to be something soooo simple **sigh** Stupid me.. expecting something out-of-ordinary ^^;; I don't think I'll buy the tankoubon..
Harukanaru Toki no Naka de... Yorihisa is still pondering about his accidental KISU with Akane, whether or not he'll be telling the truth to Tenma (who he knew is in love with Akane). Meanwhile, Akane's been missing from Tsuchi no Mikado mansion. Fuji-hime desperately looking for her. Yorihisa, being the one who stand in guard for the Miko the night before, knew nothing out of ordinary, so Akane might be went somewhere alone on her own (maybe, thinking about the happening between her and Yorihisa!? XDD ) Outside the mansion, Akane arrived with Yasuaki, they met Inori in the way. Now, the mansion is calm again. One scene that catched my attention is the scene between Yorihisa and Tomomasa. It seemed that Tomomasa has been making Takamichi drinking all night long in order for him to spit out the truth ^^;; From whatever Takamichi has been said that time, he has made his own conclusion. And as the result, he said to Yorihisa, 'as one of the Minamoto clan, why did you do something half way as stealing her lips? You should steal away all of her' And Yorihisa just gritted, saying, 'Tomomasa-dono, you're too much' ^^;; (or something like that!?) Well.. in one scene of this chapter, Tomomasa did mention he's tired being a nice grown up in front of Akane (what's that supposed to mean!? I mean.. yeah.. this is a love sim.. but.. **sigh** ) In the end, Akane is trying to accept Tenma's feeling, but Tenma rejected her, saying she should not be pitying him and he'll be waiting until Akane could see him as a man. The problem is, Akane only heard it half way (until the rejection), she ran away in tears then bumped into Yorihisa.. Tenma was just about to finish his speech but he found Yasuaki instead of Akane (funny scene here ^^;; ) He went to look for her, and spotted Yorihisa and Akane together..
Penguin Kakumei. There's no story development in this chapter. Ryou is still confused, why he was so mad everytime he was reminded of Narazaki & Yukari's kissing scene **baka!!** and then he and Yukari's ^^;; Around the same time, Narazaki is filming a samurai movie/drama.. (I guess something like Musashi?) and the director praised him for his 'emotion' (apparently, he was expresionless in his past roles ^^;; ) At night, a private party was held for the actors/actresses who wins the Wakajishi award. At the hotel, Aya saw someone, but he pretend not to see. It seems Ryou saw the person too, and suddenly went after Aya who goes up first. And Yukari got bad feeling about all of this... A woman being told by a waiter not to smoke in the area. She throw away her cigarette and leaving the sofa where she sat not so long ago.. saying, 'wow.. no wonder he has been praised as a first class actor. His face didn't even flinch.. and now they have been in good term with each other, eh..?' Now.. what is this supposed to mean..?
ZigZag. The story is getting nowhere.. Taiyou, started to realize the feelings he had for Kenpachi, is approached by a cricket club member. The boy asked him to make a flower bouquet for the girl he liked. And it turns out that the girl is Kenpachi.. Meanwhile, it's obvious that Sonoo is trying to disturb the on going between Kenpachi and Taiyou (they're so amusing, he thought ^^;; ) Taiyou take a bite on Kenpachi's chocolate bar. While Kenpachi's blushed from the thought of 'indirect kiss', Sonoo took the liberty to bite a crump of where Taiyou left off earlier (nooo!! Sonoo bacteria~~) Poor JinJin.. he had to act the kind big brother for Kenpachi is busy with her feelings towards Taiyou, and didn't even have the slightest idea for what he has been feeling all along for the girl..
Eikaiwa School Wars by Matsumoto Tomo. Personally, this is not the title I usually read, but well.. An expresionless Arisu with her phobia for English, while there are 2 gaijin staying at her house.. It's fun when she translated Shiro's confession 'will you gou out with me?' as he asked her to accompanying her outside for some shopping ^^;;
I just read a chapter of Oni-chan to Issho in this issue (this title has been licensed here, too). I never thought the story would be that kind of story (what kind!?) Niwae, I might read about it later.. Another title in this issue was Kaichou wa Maido-sama by Fujiwara Hiro which serialization is just started. An all boy's school(Seika High) has just turn into co-ed school a few years ago, but still, there's 80% boys. The president of student board, Ayuzawa Misaki, is trying to make all possible means to ensure that more girls will enrolled to the school by the beginning of the year. The president hates boy, but after school, she had a part time job as a maid in a maid cafe.. (a cafe where the waitress wear cosplay outfit.. in this case is maid outfit ^^;; and called the costumers 'go-shujin-sama') What will happen if the boys from school find out about this!? In the other hand, she got to handle the situation with Usui Takumi, who has already know her secret and has become a regular customer to the cafe.. As far as this issue, I have no idea what kind of story is Morio Masami-sensei trying to make with Love-Chop (Rabu-Choppu).. Another short story by Takagi Shigeyoshi entitled Fureru Ondo. The story is sweet, not to bad, about a boy named Kashuu who's afraid of being touched by other, no matter how slight the touch is, yet he's fine when a biology teacher, Kimura Sayuri, touches him..
And in this issue, LaLa announced that Hikawa Kyouko's newest serial, Ayakashi-something-something will be serialised in it's sister mangazine, Melody. This series has been running in LaLa as furoku (just like new version of YamiEi in HTY..)
In HTY10, there's no Skip Beat and Furuba **sigh** Gakuen Alice is getting more and more strange. Is Narunaru that powerless to the point he could only pray for his students!? Well.. Natsume's past will be revealed in the next issues, so.. should I root for it?
My favorite here is being Shiawase Kissa 3choume Unortunately, there's no important development. A friend of Shindou-san from his elementary school appeared (called the guy 'Sacchan' ^^;; ) And in the end of the chapter, he's muttering to himself, Sacchan and Uru-chan are so cute, they didn't even realize their own feelings ^^;; Wonder what will the kansai-ben brothers (the little brother) react about this.. In the next chapter, Bonheur manager would make his first appearance!? Tankouboun 4 of this series will be available somewhere around this month.
Sugar Princess by Nakajo Hisaya is not going anywhere.. I'd prefer her HanaKimi than this one.. (no offense, na.. it's just IMO). S.A., another cute chapter, though Takashima and Hikari have no development whatsoever.. Karakuri no Odett is being serialized starting from this issue. It has been appeared as short story in past issues, though. The story is about a girl, Yoshizawa Odett, an android made by Prof. Yoshizawa, and her daily life trying to live together with human, going to school, etc. Ordinary plot, perhaps, but I don't know why I feel I just can't miss this series. Arakure, the closing chapter of Sachie's kidnapping arch. All's well ends well in here.. The story went as smooth as ever.
In this issue, Emura presented a short story called Grandson, about an excellent bodyguard, Asahi, protecting a jenius (nobel winner) rich heir of Kisaragi Group, Sakuya. The problem is, Sakuya's temper and bad attitudes has made all of the bodyguard before Asahi quit.. The story is not too bad, but I just can't be into her story.. like I did (long long time ago) when I read her 'W-Juliet'..
There's another story entitled Hachimitsu no Hana by Kiuchi Tatsuya. The setting is in the Meiji era, where a half British - Japanese boy, Kuze Ran, is adopted by his uncle, a Japanese viscount as their heir. The viscount wasn't blessed with any kids, so he, being the second son of the original family, is adopted into the viscount's. Well.. it's supposed to be a romance between the young master (Ran) and the maid (Chitose) ^^;; I think the continuation of the story would be in some other magazine..
My wish list for this month : Shin Angyou Onshi13-14, Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge16, Tsubasa RC15, xxxHolic9, Death Note11-12, Sonnan ja nee yo!9 (end! yay!!), D.Gray-man8 (at last!!), Harukanaru Toki no Naka de12, Fairy Cube3 (end), Boku wo Tsutsumu Tsuki no Hikari3, 0 no Zoukashi (after waiting for how many long since I can't get HTY+ here ^^;;) Well.. I think I probably could get all of them from local Kino ^^;; Which reminds me.. a lot of manga from May hven't arrived, just yet...
Has anyone heard a tokusatsu called 'Garo'? Sometimes it was called 'Garo, Saviour of the Darkness'. I watched the first 12 episode around March, and completely forget all about it. Just when I'm packing things for renge_shin, I found episode 13 to 24 in my pile of stuff. Before throwing it into the package, I watch it and.. wow.. I never actually watched any tokusatsu seriously (except for Kamen Rider Ryuuki & Blade, and maybe, Kabuto, later..) But this one is really.. different ^^;; (because I like darkness?) I found out that Konishi Hiroki who played Saejima Kouga (the main hero) in this series has been taken role as Shinji Ibu in TeniMyu Dream Live 1st and Remarkable 1st Match Fudomine, also as Kuroro Lucifer in one of HunterMyu, and the voice behind Ouji Karasuma of School Rumble.. And what's the rest..? Well.. I'll be babbling more about this in another entry, so..
Well.. this is all for today (spending way too much time typing and should got back to work~~)
