Otome Plays: Banjul (YH Route)

Another Nameless play of Yeonho's route which I started 5 months ago but never finished got around to continuing. My hardrive broke so I had a bad taste left in my mouth because of recording this game.
Not much to say but enjoy this episode and the next installment will come out soon though it depends on how many people like/comment :D


Update: R.I.P QSMR, Kieuana is born

Hey everybody? Had a nice Christmas?
I've been gaming and manga-ing so I more or less have dropped the ball for the nth time due to laziness/work commitments. Anywho, I've decided, after a lot of thought, that my clumsily made url of quickshoujomangareviews.blogspot.com was more a less me being un-creative as hell.

So I chose a a shorter name that represents me. I am worried about the whole broken links debackle but then again, I'd like a fresh start at this blogging thing.

I will post a otome plays post really soon as I haven't done so in about 5 months.

Bye all :D

Latest Fix: Henyoku no Labyrinth

Name: Henyoku no Labyrinth
Author & Artist: KUMAGAI Kyoko
Chapters: 21 (ongoing)
Genres: Romance , School Life, Shoujo, Supernatural
Plot:
The story follows a love struck girl who is unfortunately in love with her sister's boyfriend, Hiroto. After her feelings are found out by the couple, she thinks her life is over... That is until she receives a magical key that allows her to travel back in time. Miyako is determined to use this second chance to confess to Hiroto before he develops feelings for her sister. Will this be second encounter be fruitful or will she discover that there are some things that simply can't be changed?

Overview:
Oh boy, I had to write the plot for you guys since the sypnosis on most sites is either non-existent or simply vague. Anyway, I don't make it a habit of picking up manga that is under 20 chapters since waiting for chapters is antagonizing (having the same problem with Rokka Melt by Toma Rei).

I'm currently addicted to this and though it seemed like it was going to be a short and typical story of: girl meets boy, falls in love, angst/complications, big confession scene and then happily ever after, it actually has a fairly compelling story.

Shoujo Manga Cliches: HNR Love Triangle

Time to revive my Shoujo Manga Cliches segment to just sit down and talk about the craziness of Hirunaka no Ryuusei since it's finally ended. Unlike most love triangles, HNR was actually fairly balanced and had some sort of uncertainty regarding who would get the girl. In other words, no one felt alpha or beta in the love triangle. Most mangakas make it very clear who the canon pairing is but HNR made it feel a lot more ambiguous in my opinion.  Though not all of these theories prevail standalone, if there are 3 or more, you can best bet the dude who fulfills all of them will 99% of the time be together with the girl. Let this pseudo-analysis begin!

Update: I'm on social media y'all

Hey, just an update on my further expanse of the interwebs. I've always been pretty crappy at micromanaging social media accounts and this blog in itself is no exception. Nonetheless since blogger isn't all that community orientated and I feel like I'm more or less on an isolated island, I've decided to expand and make some social media accounts so you guys can follow or interact with me as you please.
Please support and like, I feel like I need to start regularly blogging again. I've also started drawing but since I'm not good enough for deviantart, I'm going to post a lot of my doodles on instagram so remember to follow me there.
I've also started admining this fb page about shoujo manga so I'll see who that pans out. Until next time ^^
