So I just found out that there is a anime (and manga) version of Romeo and Juliet that just began airing in Japan!

According to the entry on the Anime News Network, "This is a story of a young and tragic love, set in the aerial city of Neo Verona. Tyranny rules this island in the sky after the Montague family took control 14 years prior. The ( Read more... )

Just read chapter 1 of the Kimi Wa Petto manga, and so far it's pretty good. Certainly not what I expected when I first saw the series a few years back under the English title of Tramps Like Us. (I really don't know what they were thinking when they chose that.)

Now, can anyone tell me if I should look into the J-drama? I know sykogwyfinangel really likes it, ( Read more... )

Was reading a one-shot manga piece by an artist I like last night and randomly wondered when it was published since the style of art looked older than that of some of her other works.

And that's when the male protagonist heard a ringing sound issuing from his pocket and whipped out his pager. XD

Even more aggravating is that I had actually e-mailed Sasuga in November asking about their KH supply, and they never even e-mailed ( Read more... )

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

My brain's been Bleached! I downloaded a few volumes months and months ago, but then FMA, and then PoT got me distracted. Recently, I've been starting up on Bleach again and now I can't stop!

I still have to finish Wuthering heights, write the paper, and do my other homework. O_O But I still want to read ( Read more... )
