Happy Monday! Remember if you pretend long enough delusion just might become reality.
Title:Arata: The Legend
Mangaka: Yuu Watase
An action-packed shonen fantasy from the acclaimed author of Fushigi Yûgi! In a mythical world where humans and gods co-exist, Arata has the unfortunate honor of being the successor to the matriarchal Hime Clan. This means he has to pretend to be a girl or face death if his true gender is discovered! On the day of his inauguration, an assassination plot forces him to flee-and he somehow winds up in modern-day Japan! Meanwhile, a boy named Arata Hinohara gets sucked into the first Arata’s world and finds himself dealing with people after his life!
Why do I want it?
Well its Yuu Watase for one and its a shonen for two and I don't think I have ever read a shonen by her before. Has she ever done any? I don't know if she has but I do know she does action well. Not a big cross dressing fan but I'll give the first volume a read to see if I can live with it.
Title: Sorcerers & Secretaries
Mangaka: Amy Kim Ganter
Nicole Hayes sure likes to daydream and who can blame her? She studies a subject she has no interest in so she can satisfy her mother, and she works part time as a receptionist to satisfy her growing debt. But when she's alone with her notebook, she crafts a fantastic story and lets her imagination go-go-go! Meanwhile, her old neighbor Josh pines after Nicole's every step but just can't seem to snap her out of her daydreams and get her to notice him. If only he could see what it was she was dreaming about, maybe he could finally win her over!From the creator of the online comic site, felaxx.com, comes a romantic comedy for anyone who has dared to dream about a crazy little thing called love!
Why do I want it?
On Tokyopop's website you are able to read excerpts of their manga and on there I got to read the first few chapters of Sorcerers & Secretaries, its cute and the art is beautiful. Nicole is a dreamer whose wonderful fantasies seep into her mundane everyday life and as the reader you can completely understand why she would rather jot down in her notebook then face every day life after you see what she sees.
So now its your turn, what manga or anime are on your wishlist?
