things that make me happy

[insaneneko]

I figured I should do a "I LOVE THIS" post because sharing the squee is always a good thing. So...the following are things I love.

Castle Mango volume 1 by Ogura Muku (art) and Konohara Narise (story) is a manga I picked up thanks to wednesday_10_00 and OMG the cute is pure love. It's about a high school student who lives at the love hotel his mother runs (his

Ohhh, I'm making a note of the last one, because it sounds hilarious and adorable, and I love the cover illustration.

Glad you liked Castle Mango! The wait for the next volume was killing me, so I'm now collecting issues of Cab. /sighhhhh

Hope you like Beauty & Ghost! The cover is quite nice.

I have to make myself not regularly buy any magazine issues after years of getting Jump and Hana to Yume and having the hardest time stopping. Or getting rid of them. It's killer waiting for each volume to be published for a whole host of manga. ;_;

I worry about Konohara Narise springing a horrible turn of events later on as this series is so far mostly fluffy and sweet, but I'm going to classify my fears as just being a worrywart.

I...I don't think you're a worrywart. >_> I'm up to chapter 8, and it definitely hasn't gotten as dark so far as some of her stories tend to do, but fluffy and sweet it is not right now. (Also, I hear that the director is actually a character from a previous book, and has a pretty tragic past already. XD;)

It's definitely awesome, though! If only there weren't such a long wait between chapters. :(((

At least I'm warned.

And surely it couldn't get as bad as the Cold series...

Haha XD I'm pretty sure you're not the only one. I've only read two of her stories, Utsukushii koto series and Cold series, and it makes me think that Yorozu's "lie" will backfire on him later on.

Which really scares me because right now, it really looks like he's not yet quite there but you can already sort of tell that he's "almost" about to start falling for Togame.

Oh if you love the manga, try the drama CD. ^^ I have Castle Mango's drama CD and I can not get tired of relistening to it. (It has the same voice actor as Ritsu and Onoe in Ameiro Paradox's drama CD, which was also to die for btw)

I loved Ameiro Paradox's drama CD! I'd been meaning to mention it in a post, but I hadn't gotten around it. I find that a lot of stuff doesn't transfer well to drama CD for me, but this one was hilarious. I guess I'll need to check out Castle Mango. That voice actor is *excellent*.

I'm a bit worried about what happens in Castle Mango after the comment above, but if I can read Konohara Narise's other stuff I can handle whatever ends up happening in this series. (Or so I keep telling myself.)
