~Randomness Manga Continued~

Today, I bought a Manga... do you guys know Bakuman? it wasn't cheap, $85 something Hong Kong dollars to Mexican Peso 146.74, I'm not sure of the currency sign, sorry~ also my laptop only has a dollar sign. >.< so I do a HKD currency!

Anyways, I bought the second volume because I visited my book store a few times in my holidays and read the volume 1. It turns out my friend watched the anime and she likes it. I think so. I think its a very interesting story, it has realistic storyline, no fictional creatures and magic. Instead people working hard towards their goal. It gives me hope in my dream too, I also think the characters is likeable.

For me, it is really important that the art work is pleasent and beautiful, I was hugely let down by Nana (Sorry for those that like the manga especially the art work), I found it not very nice, I couldn't read it because I didn't like art work. *thumbs down*

Let me know, what you look for in Mangas? what kind of story you like? and favourite Manga characters? 

Manga

Manga, a lot of Manga and Anime fans... well when I was little I used to watch a lot of Doreamon~ and I really like it. I mean who can not love Doreamon, he's so cute and blue!!! Although, he wasn't blue before, he used to be orange with pointy ears. For those, who don't know the story, Doreamon was bitten by a mouse on his ears, he cried so much he became blue. *what is wrong with me, I'm meant to be talking nicely about manga and now we're talking about this*

My favourite mangas are Lovely Complex and Yotsuba and !, I've not read many but Bakuman is becoming a favourite too, so far I've only read Volume 1. I've watched bits of the Lovely Complex anime and I watched the film. I was hugely disappointed with the film, I felt like they cut so many parts out of it :( they should done a drama instead of a film. Then they could of kept loads of the bits in...  basically, I enjoyed the anime more. Just my opinion. The film stars Teppei Kokei of WaT. + plus in the manga 'Mighty' looks really cute! If only he were real.

I read Fruits Basket and enjoyed it, although it's a manga that requires deep focus/full power concentration because there are so many characters and their lives are really complicated. Although, having said this I managed to read 11 or 12 or 15 volumes of Fruit Basket (borrowed from two seperate libraries) and then stopped :( because it was the holidays, this was like 2 years ago and I don't have time to re-read these volumes and carrying on pursing the other books. Maybe I watch the anime if there is one.

Ouran High School Host Club is okay, I like the style and I think Tamaki is funny but its too complicated with too many characters and too many speech bubbles on the page. I was a little confused.

I read bits of Otomen and I didn't like it :( the pictures were nice but the story didn't hold me in. I was a little disappointed. I also don't like Naruto, One Piece, Deathnote etc kind of style 'fictional' monsters maybe I prefer the modern style set in schools or romantic/comedy love lives between the characters.

However, I throughly enjoyed the 'High School Debut' story, I read one volume that's all my library had but I watched the film and it's so good and the guy who plays Yoh (Junpei something~ I'm sorry I forgot his surname) is really cute and looks just like his manga counterpart so thumbs up!

Any recommendations? Do you guys like Naruto, Deathnote or One Piece? >.<

My small but growing Manga collection.

Manga is expensive to buy, so I only have a few copies, but this collection will grow bigger.

First Picture: Volume 1 of Naruto, to be honest, I was a little disappointed with the story, I didn't like it very much, I guess Deathnote and One Piece etc with mythical creatures aren't my type.

Second and Third picture (back and front) : Volumes 1,2,3,4 13,16 and 17 of Love Com (Lovely Complex), the back is very cute I think, that's why I wanted to show, the books are very colourful too especially volume 17, the manga story actually ends in Volume 16 but Volume 17 has a chapter of them after they finish secondary school, and before they (Otani and Risa) met.

Fourth and Fifth pictures (back and front): Volume 1 of Yotsuba and !, this is a ongoing manga, I bought it to read when I had my tonsils removed since I stayed for 2 nights at the hospital with my mum.

~Today~

Today, we were going to have a BBQ in my garden, it was originally meant for Saturday but the weather was better today, exceptionally hot and sunny, I've never had a BBQ where I was so hot, we used umbrellas in the end as shade and my mum made me wear loads of suncream.

My dad was in charge of cooking the food, we had chicken wings, Frankfurtors, Polish and Turkish Sausages (they were nice, I've never eaten them before, it's always good to try new things), hash browns, potato salad and colesaw (prepared by my mum, she also marinated the chicken wings in soya sauce too).

I eat loads and drank some lemonade and Tango Apple ( I had three quarters, my sister ha a quarter).

Yesterday, me and my sister went to the library and we borrowed some manga (Beauty Pop (first and second volume)), Ouran High School Host Club (first and second volumes), I flicked through Beauty Pop and was not interested but now I am because my sister read both volumes today in the garden in between the BBQ so I'm reading it and I'm hooked.

I am also watching the Lovely Complex Anime, I watched halfway through to the third episode, I have to say this is one of the first Anime's I like alongside Sailormoon, my dad I think bought it for me and my sister, I believe my copy is in Cantonese. The live action movie of Lovely Complex wasn't that great. I'm glad I am watching the Anime.

Any recommendations? Thank You! Take care! Always happy!
