dramas, mangas, and rain, oh my!

[calledinvain]

Fact: it is raining right now in Southern California, and looks like it will rain through Memorial Day weekend. I think this is EXCELLENT. Because I was getting tired of the freak heatwaves.

Plus, I just got a huge box from RightStuf and I'm still not done with my order from JustManga.com so I have a looooot to keep me occupied this weekend.

lols "that is the power of my love."

the part where she runs and finds out all the pictures he's taken are of her? he even has to stalk her when he's there.

Magic has been subbed, actually.

why did i not get this comment in my email?

[calledinvain]

OH LJ YOU FAIL. And you are going on your super sekrit getaway trip so who am I going to bother with my kdrama enquiries?

1) Like, where do I get Magic subbed? I hope it does not rhyme with "clubbox."

2) OMG, KANG DONG WON, ILU SO.

Anyway, enjoy your trip, and happy early birthday! :D

Just a little drive by Skip Beat squee because I just started it a couple months ago. I'm on volume 5 now and I looooooove. I wish it had better covers and a better blurb because if they had given me some hint of how twistedly awesome and angry and filled with vengeance Kyoko is I would have picked it up a long time ago.

plus, the mangaka's other title?

Tokyo Crazy Paradise about a female bodyguard on the mean streets of a very different Tokyo? SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE SOMETHING I WOULD LOVE. License it, VIZ. LICENSE IT NOW.

Yeah, you have to get past the strange looking covers - Nakamura's drawing style is a very different shojo archetype from the usual stuff I read, it reminds me more of 80s manga, but the writing, and Kyoko herself? So made of love and awesome and VENGEANCE. I'm surprised I didn't tell you about it! Oh well, bad saff, no biscuit!

And I'm marathoning Princess Tutu this weekend.

Re: plus, the mangaka's other title?

[smithereen]

I'm surprised I didn't tell you about it!

Oh, I'm sure you did! I remember both you and anenko talking about it being awesome, but then I'd pick it up and look at the cover and it looked so SWEET. Hee. At least I finally caught on!

[[[[PRINCESS TUTU!!!!]]]] That reminds me I never watched the dubs on the last 6 or so episodes. Must rectify at some point since it's a good dub job for once. Besides, I have a severe lack of Neko-Sensei in my life at the moment. *G*

OR ELSE YOU WILL HAVE TO MARRY ME.

I <3 Neko-sensei so much. It's wrong, but I don't want to be right.
