New Manga Again xD
I just realized that my week isn't complete without reading new manga xD Hehe.
Well, I've seen entries on Summer 2008 previews. Will be making an entry with my own impressions someday. I've checked out one of the upcoming series coming next month:
>> SEKIREI
Leading guy sucks. Leading girl is fanservice material. And why twin girls, not twin boys? xD Lol. Story seems to have potential, but so far it's lame. But take note I've only read chapter 1 ^^; And oh, what I hate here the most is the many unecessary ecchi fanservice x_x Geez. Can such things actually happen in real life? x_x And I think majority of the characters are some sexy females. Harem + ecchi is totally not my thing >_>
However, there are two things that had caught my interest: (1) The CEO guy . . . he's evil . . .in a Komui from D. Gray-man level, and he's also amusing . . . in a Cross from Vampire Knight level. I like that xD Hehe. (2) THIS GUY:
WHOEVER HE IS, HE'S SUCH A HOTTIE *_*
Now, for other new manga that I checked out:
>> FREEZING
Another obvious ecchi fanservice series (not as explicit as Sekirei though) and it also seems to be harem with a loser main guy at the center of it x_x
I like the supernatural stuff though. . . women with powers fighting wit weapons. Pandora thing. and many more.
I've only read chapter 1 but I'm not appreciating how the story is progressing so far >_> And please, I've had enough with the badly-injured-person-becoming-super-powerful-when-loved-one-is-hurt x_x The romance bit is also lame.
Oh I don't know. It may not really be that bad, but I didn't like it >_>
I am not sure if I would be reading more of this. It's actually better than Sekirei in terms of story development on its first chapter in my opinion, but the characters here are just so . . . ."ugh"
>> LOST+BRAIN
So this is the Death Note wannabe series that I've been hearing about before. If I compare the story of the two series, Death Note is much better. But the hypnoticism stuff of Lost+Brain is pretty interesting and cool.
As for the main characters, Raito >>>>>>>> (to infinity power) Hiyama. They actually have similar goals, and that is: to recreate a new world by destroying the current one. Both of them are pissed with the no-good people in present society. Both of them want to change the chaotic world. They wanted power. They see other people as merely tools. They wanted to be like gods that will determine what's good for this world and not. And not to mention that both of them are geniuses and excel in many areas.
BUT they have differences, like: Raito wanted to exterminate the bad ones and maintain those who he sees as okay; while Hiyama wants to control literally everybody. Raito was more after justice; while Hiyama just wants to get rid of people other than himself. Raito only became extremely evil and heartless when he got the power; while Hiayama had been like that since the very beginning ^^; And their greatest difference is: Raito is hell cuter than Hiyama xD Ohohohoho!!!! I also love it when Raito makes Ryuu do what he wants by treating the shinigami some apples xD LOL!
As for the girls who are in love with those leading guys . . .both of them are pathetic losers x_x The leading girl of Lost+Brian was more pathetic though, because even though she was blatantly and rudely rejected, she still flirts with him x_x Misa's better with her goth style and cute approach in flirting . . . and she also makes herself useful. Both are idiots, but I have to admit that Misa's a bit more decent that that girl x_x
Lost+Brain is totally nothing compare to Death Note . . . but all these philosophical and hypnoticism stuff interest me . . . .and who knows, it might also have a character like L?! xD If ever that happens, I HIGHLY DOUBT that that character will eb any better than L. But we'll see ^_^
>> TENJOU NO KAIJUTSU
The idea of a girl hating guys is nice but this series made such a girl change her mind too quickly and they became canon in just one chapter x_X What the heck?! Honestly, for me, it's too fast x_x For a guy hater for more than 5 years, she falls in love that fast???!! Oh geez to that kind of transformation. It didn't impress me. The root of that hatred was lame. Just because she was bullied like that? Her way of showing her hatred didn't impact me either x_x
Conclusion: Leading girl sucks.
As for the leading guy, he's so-so. At first I thought he looked similar to Johanne from Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen . . . but nah, Johanne's hotter xD
And what's with the fast pairings between the presidents and vice presidents of those schools? Romance development was just too fast. Yes, there had been reasons how they fell in love, but it was really too sudden. x_x
In other words, I don't feel the romance >_>
But I admit that I'm amused with the other couple: Girl-who-looks-like-a-guy X Guy-who-looks-like-a-girl xD Hahaha! I've seen a pair like that in W-Juliet, but Hikaru and Todou look much cuter xD Hehe. But I still find it awkward when they do romantic stuff though . . .because Todou's just too tall ^^; Poor Hikaru xD
And yes, I find Hikaru adorable . . .. both as a guy and in crossdressing xD LOL!
Another interesting thing in this series: Todou's family (her father and brothers) are hosts! As in hosts like hosts in Ouran Host Club! Oh man, I like it when something reminds me of Ouran xD Hehe.
Overall, it's not a fantastic series but it's pretty enjoyable ^_^
