Manga Review: Diamond Life

Name: Diamond Life
Author & Artist: FUJIWARA Akira
Chapters: 14
Genres: Drama, Josei, Romance, Slice of Life, Tragedy

Plot: Kanae dropped out of high school, because her father is a gambler while her mother ran away with her boyfriend. Kanae is twenty-two years old, and very poor working for a cleaning shop. She comes to have something to do with Haruki Oda quite by chance. Haruki is an IT millionaire and called "money-mad man," or "the god of death." Then Kanae's life makes a sudden development. Money cannot be made by love alone, though love cannot be bought with money. People of today want to have both love and money. This get-happy-story is a must read for the present-day people.

Review:
The thing I love about Josei is that it's so much more easy to read in terms of not gagging from over cheesiness. I guess if you love melodrama then this may not exactly be for you.

What I love about this series is it really addresses some pretty interesting, lesser known issues and I actually found myself learning more about. If you can take anything away from this manga, it's that you learn some important life lessons and I felt more knowledgeable about things (I can't really tell you what they are since it'd kinda spoil it).

Template Updated Once Again

I was really unsatisfied with the last template so I decided to spend some of my time updating to my liking. It's nothing flash but looks a lot better than it did before.

I also want to take the time to thank everyone for reading and commenting. I'm usually the passive reader and really get too lazy to comment on things but thanks for showing interest towards this blog.

I have no friends who read manga in real life so this is effectively my only outlet to fangurrrrllll.

The picture is from Dear by Fujiwara Cocoa. I really need to do a overview of it sometime since I love that manga to death.

Shugo Chara AMV

Random post but I was just procrastinating on youtube (since schoolwork is physically impossible to complete unless I'm at some kind of library) and I stumbled upon one of my favourite anime music videos back in 09 when I was really getting into manga.

I jumped on the bandwagon pretty late since I went to a white washed school and it was only in high school (13 - 17 yrs my country has no middle school) when I started to really get in to manga.

This AMV helped solidify my growing love for manga and Shugo Chara was the first one I really got into. I want to review it some day since I got a couple of volumes of it sitting on my bookshelf though. What's stopping me is the fact that I was a noob back then and I've taken off my rose-coloured glasses, I'm afraid that the manga I loved so much is going to effectively be a dissapointment once I review it.

Anyhow if you plan on watching the anime, I suggest you skim over the Shugo Chara Doki season and try to skip the fillers and skip most of Shugo Chara Party.

Enjoy the AMV :)

Manga Review: Mars

Name: Mars
Author & Artist: SOURYO Fuyumi
Chapters:
Genres: Drama, Mature, Psychological, Romance, School Life, Shoujo, Tragedy
Plot:
Kira believes that Rei and all other men in the world are dirty. She stays away from her classmates, hiding in her art. What happens when the delinquent motorcyclist and playboy, Rei, gets ahold of one of her drawings, and actually wants to keep it?

Review:
Now I perpetually avoid tragedy cos I'm a crybaby but seeing as I was in the mood of some psychological romance I thought, why not?

At first glance it's typical bad boy and anti-social, man-phobia girl but there seems to be such an inevitability on how it all unfolds. It's the dark side of human nature. It explores our natural instinct of violence and atrocities of man.

Hellooo~

I'm on holidays now so I should really get around to reviewing. I've spent most of my days hermitting while reading manga, I have no laifu :C

Meanwhile I found this manga/anime shop in my city and I set out alone, especially to go buy some manga. I tried to contain my excitement and my otaku feels while entering the store. A whole shelf of manga. I feel like manga is just so much better in physical form :3.

I modestly purchased the first volume of Strobe Edge and he nonchalantly handed me my receipt as I could of literally skipped happily away from.I even posted a pic of it on Instagram (don't ask me why I joined the camwhorifying bandwagon).
