Kimi ni Todoke Mood: Love in the Summer Air~

First place the newest thing, chapter 56 of the Kimi ni Todoke manga.
The story right now is the characters on a school trip at the beach.
I just loved it because it was about Chizu, right now she has a boyfriend, but... I had never thought that the fact she have had so many boyfriends is because she has never really loved someone. Well, at least that chapter left that message to me...
In the story Sawako and Shouta are lovely-dovey, and happy ever after, so I suppose Shiina Karuho will focus on the rest of the characters.See for yourself...read from right to left [S P O I L E R]

About the anime, well, we know they had some problems because of the earthquake:

Right now they have broadcasted 12 episodes out of the supposed-to-be 13.
I'm just going to say I looooved episode 10: From Now On.
In this episode they are starting the school festival, so it means Shouta shouts in the middle of the school 'I like you!' to Kuronuma (^O^)! OMG when I read that at the manga (long time ago) I was so crazy to see the same in motion with full color! It was beautiful~

I am kinda sad this second season was so short...but I kinda understand hence they finally reached each other, so I am very happy too.

Manga Reader Mood: Roses, Blushes and...

Kisses.

Yes, I spent like 3 hours reading like 18 chapters of a manga: Barajou no Kiss. Kiss of the Rose Princess.

I had recommended it on a spanish post. 

Since all the mangas I'm reading right now haven't come to new chapters since last year -_- I ended up finishing this one, well, not finishing, just read all the chapters that have been published n_n''

This manga gives me strange feeling, in the sense of liking it or not liking it. I think I definetely like it but hmmm I don't know, maybe is not the best manga ever but it is very entertaining and very very shoujo: kisses, roses, cards, magic, flower petals filling the air, a cute-chibi-bat-like monster, and the most interesting the pentagon of love... four knight and one princess.

I like the fact that there are always new characters appearing, and the situation changes very fast (not to many fills in the story). Changes in the situation and in there characters' feelings.

I you have free time you must indeed read this manga, I LOL a lot btw. ;) And there are this adorable scenes that get your heart beating faster and going aww~, cute~, etc etc...

To convince you a little bit more, I'm leaving images :D

Anime Watcher Mood: Sentimentalist + Upcoming Holiday Special

This is about Valentine's Day, about Kimi ni Todoke 2nd Season Episode 1.

Sorry, today, just english.

I just watched the episode, totally follows the manga, so it means, totally made me mad. I remember when I read it, I was just so astonished of Sawako's way of not-acting -_-

I kinda understand her situation, but I believe that is better to regret what you do than regretting what you did not do.

Something all valentines should start thinking about already, were are a month away from this special holiday, so let's start thinking what you want to do that day and what you don't want to regret not doing.

 Online & Download of Valentine's Day Episode

Btw, SPOILER coming: Kento Miura finally appears. He looks hotter than in the manga I think, but he was just like a couple of minutes on the screen so let's wait for more episodes to see him well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   Now, title says: Holiday Special. Yes, I already mentioned something about Valentine's day, so I wanted to share some nice, cute and maybe handmade ideas for this day. This entry will be very general.

   Now, first, gifts, since it's general I'll make a list and you can choose, if you want to give, one, two or all the things I mention. Just try to think in that special person, all humans are different hence everyone likes different things, try to associate things in the list with that person's clothes, hair, face, personality, anything. 

Read the list, if something makes you think that person will like it, do it, buy it, or I don't know xD

1. Send flowers in the morning, maybe as early as possible, to that person's house. I don't like roses, since they are soooo common, but some people is very classic and do like them, try white and soft pink roses. 
2. When giving flowers do not use plastic in any ways, glass is very good looking but kinda expensive, try something more vintage, maybe something with a ecologic look will be good too, even a cardboard box would look nice if the flowers are well arranged.
3. Flowers are sometimes too much if you can't control yourself. More than a dozen can look too big, try to think that after a week, flowers are trash :/ So, if you want to give lots and lots of flowers do it in different momments ;D
   - Like number 1, send a tiny set of flowers early in the morning.
   - When is the time to meet and go for lunch or dinner, make the restaurant (or wherever you are going) arrange the table with flowers too.
   - If you are giving a present -an object, like a watch, jewelry, etc- decorate the box or the bag containing the present with flowers too, like this.
4. When you meet the person, anyplace and anytime, give a flower, the first thing is giving a single flower with some nice wellcoming words.
5. If you are having lunch, go to some familiar restaurant, nothing too fancy in the day. Coffee shops give a nice mood. Also try to not have a big lunch so you are not so full, being too full makes you lazy for the rest of the day. After the lunch, go for a walk at some wide open space place, parks are great for this. Have a nice talk and in that momment you can give any present you had in mind.
6. Handmade things? If you want to make something handmade, I prefer useful things like jewelry boxes, book dividers or something like that. You can search for tutorials at Google, more specifically YouTube, eHow, blogs, etc... Since it's a hearts day, I leave you this nice simple tutorial to decorate both gifts and places: Garlands.
7. Trips are nice, for any holiday, so this day you can take your valentine to the beach and watch a nice romantic sunset. Take a bottle of wine with you and drink it while walking at the coast.
8. If you are going to dinner, then, there are two options:
   a. If you are confident in your cooking skills, then prepare an expensive-looking dinner (but in reallity is not expensive since you prepared it). If it's at your home, clean up, make it smell nice, light some candles...
   b. If you don't know how to cook, then, start saving money to take your couple to a nice, sofisticated restaurant, the classic are italians or french, but nowadays, japaneses, indian restaurants are very high-class too
9. After dinner, if you are planning a romantic fun at bed, decorating the room with some flower petals, a bottle of champagne or wine plus some chocolates or sweets is the classic best way. Hope you enjoy.

That's all that comes to my mind so I hope something of this helps you.

Manga Reader Mood: Vampires, Flames and Desire

Hell yeah vampires!

Those are the most horny mitical creatures ever and I love it! XD just kidding but it's true ._.

OK. I'm reading this manga named Junketsu + Kareshi. At the beggining I was like I don't get it -_-

But know in chapter 6 everything about the plot is clear, not completely clear but enought to get into the story.

I like that is very silly and very mmmm ''romantic'' in a weird but not new way. 

The manga started last year (2010), the mangaka is Shouoto Aya, it's been just 6 chapters out for now and yeah it has a alternative titles like: Pureblood+Boyfriend or He's my only vampire.

I recommend this if you are open minded about how a vampire should be, you like werewolves, chibis, cat-like characters, dog-like characters, fantasy, supernatural things, some action and romance.

Vampiros Vampiros Vampiros....salen en todos lados pero simplemente siguen captando fanaticos, desgraciados seres libidinosos que nos hacen fantasear xD

Bueno bueno, estoy leyendo un manga llamado Junketsu + Kareshi. Trata de vampiros en general pero como genero de fantasia y sobrenatural, tambien incluye hombres lobos y otros seres miticos supongo... el titulo en español es Novio+Purasangre.

Al inicio era una historia confusa asi de misteriosa como debe ser un vampiro hehe, pero ahora en el capitulo 6 las cosas se aclararon lo suficiente como adentrarte en la historia.

Se la recomiendo a aquellos que les gustan las escenas romanticas de morder el cuello, la accion, los personajes con orejas y cola y los chibis.

Anime Watcher Mood: Kimi ni Todoke 2 arranca!

A como dice el titulo. Ya arranco la segunda temporada de Kimi ni Todoke. El 4 de Enero salio en Japon y ya esta con subtitulos en español.

Desde el inicio el opening te recuerda lo refresacante y lindo que es este anime.
Ver las sonrisas, las mejillas sonrojadas, las miradas y los colores tipicos de este anime te hacen sonreir.

Bueno, el capitulo final de la primera temporada quedo en un festival en invierno, y se retoma de aqui tambien, solo que todo se centra en Kurumi.

Creo que el episodio esta bastante bien y aunque algunos se enojen porque el episodio es todo sobre Kurumi vale la pena verlo, en especial cuando ella esta escribiendo en su lista de ''Bastardos que me han llamado Ume''. Clasica y excelente burla de Death Note. Mis respeto al que se le ocurrio esto. LOL.

Bueno, todos los shojo fans estamos felices de este regreso y esperamos con ansias el siguiente episodio.

Disfrutenlo.

Manga Reader Mood: ''I told you so!''

I'm reading Kimi ni Todoke's chapter 45 :3

I remember in an old entry I had ask the ''What do you think about Yano and Pin being together?'' question... guesss what!? More to come about this two!

SOME SPOILER:

 Well, now just go to Mangareader to read the rest!

Now about Sawako and Shouta they are going out, Shouta simply smiles and show his feelings and she is as shy and cute as always bla bla bla nothing new... my hopes of real emotion are in other love stories like:

Chizu and Ryu - Ryu told Chizu ''I love you'' but she didn't got it I think -.-''

Pin and Yano - my fav couple-to-be

Kurumi and Miura - both with uncorresponded loves.

Kare Kano ~Los problemas de él y ella~

Exacto. Otro shojo. -^.^-

彼氏彼女の事情 [1999]  

Resumen:  

Yukino Miyazawa siempre ha sido una estudiante modelo por su brillante rendimiento académico, su belleza y su personalidad humilde, pero en la realidad de su casa es una adolescente egoísta, vaga y caprichosa que se autodescribe como Reina de la Vanidad para reconocer que su comportamiento en la escuela es una gran farsa. Ella siempre quiere ser la numero 1 pero se encuentra con Sōichirō Arima un estudiante gentil, apuesto y amable que obtiene las notas más altas de la escuela, alejándola del reconocimiento de sus profesores y compañeros. Este suceso ella lo toma como una humillación y busca derrotarlo. Ella luego le gana en notas pero Arima no es competitivo como ella y solo la felicita. BLA BLA BLA. Arima luego se da cuenta de la verdadera Yukino y ella descubre al verdadero Arima (que no es tan gentil y es mas bien un aprovechado y chantajista). 

En fin, la historia gira mas que todo en torna a Yukino pero claro se muestran las situaciones personales de Arima y de la pareja.   

¿Por que lo recomiendo?

Les recomiendo primero que todo porque es divertido, es decir Yukino es BUEN centro de entretenimiento y Asapin no se queda atras :D

Segundo, lo recomiendo por el toque interesante que le da la realidad de la vida y personalidad de Arima (no les digo como es porque sino se los cuento todo :P), ademas de la pequeña Tsubasa y su historia.

Tercero, les recomiendo el manga mas que el anime. El anime al inicio es bonito porque te reis, pero luego se va por otro lado y ya no centra bien en la historia, hasta hay un episodio tonto sobre las hermanas de Yukino! Osea no! xD En fin, el ultimo capitulo pareciera que faltan 20 capitulos mas asi que mejor lean el manga ;)

Desventajas del anime:

• Si no les gustan esos episodios que resumen por donde va la historia, pues este anime es uno de esos que trae como 5 episodios de resumen. Incluso yo me estrese viendo eso -.- aunque da risa por los narradores y las imagenes.
• Si no les gustan los anime donde ponen imagenes de gente real o calles reales este tiene varias tomas asi :/
• Si no les gustan esos anime donde aveces ponen como scans del manga, este tiene incluso casi capitulos completos asi! Aveces me preguntaba:  ¿Y que esto no es una animacion!? ¿Porque ponen el manga!? 
• En el final, te quedas como que no sabes que hacer si buscar el siguiente episodio o imaginar el resto.
• Cabe mencionar que estas desventajas se dan por diferencias creativas a la hora de adaptar del manga al anime. La autora Masami Tsuda consideraba que el estudio Gainax se estaba centrando mucho en la comedia y no en el romance. Asi que por eso es que quedó a medias el anime. Lastima. U_U  

  Lo que mas me gusta de la historia:

Un poco dificil pero bueno...Me gusta por la variedad de personajes, el buen equilibrio entre la comedia y el romance. Yo creo que no hay un buen romance sin risas, es irreal xD Y como siempre me gusta porque tiene su buen toque de factor humano que conecta a la realidad de como son las personas y porque son asi...

Ademas lo recomiendo porque termine con Sakura y Tonami como mi pareja favorita, (tienen que avanzar para saber de que hablo). Y me gusta como al inicio se muestra un poco la historia de Tsubasa Shibahime y Kazuma para luego retomarla muchoos capitulos despues en el manga :3

Manga Reader Mood: Going Crazy, Getting Emotional

Hey there...

I'm quite confused. I mean what's wrong with this Bakura ga Ita manga!? I was reading when they where in high school and then I just see Nana at the university! (Chapter 13 jumps to Chapter 32)

And over all, it just too real to bear with it! I mean, it's about forgetting about a dead girlfriend who was cheating on you, and about teenage boys getting horny and teenage couples making sex so naturally... since NANA I haven't read such a real world plot, it get me on my nerves and even give me goose bumps @__@

Seeing this situations make me want to cry, why all the stories that involve a NANA name are like this? Is that name cursed or something like that!?

This is not a love triangle is like a hexagon or something like that! x__x
Also the characters... they are so interesting, Yuuki Obata really design them so well, specially Yano, I mean I really don't like him as a person (I think he doesn't like himself either) but he is a real life person, those persons who have experiences, who know themselves so well, that knows what they want but hesitate, he is very human...

You must read this manga, if you like NANA you'll like Bakura ga ita.

Anime Watcher Experience: Ending Episodes... One Good, One Bad

Hey!

First anime blog entry xD

Haha I just like manga more than anime...It's kinda like saying I like more the book than the movie n.n'' isn't it like that?

Soo... I saw Kobato's end some days ago...as always a really cute CLAMP ending.
I have the feeling that this is going to be like Chobits and the ending in the manga is not going to be the same as in the anime hmm :/

Well, CLAMP rocks and I know I'll like it anyways (:

I was really suprised with how they made the story, quite original quite unexpected I have to say the totally got me with it.

Don't know that else to say about it so I'm leaving you some shots of the episode, but go watch it, you'll love it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now... my other anime ending: Kimi ni Todoke, yep as you know it ended this past tuesday and I just saw it... it was soooo boring.... for me who read the manga the ending is nothing compared to what is already happening on chapter 40 volume 10... THAT is something!
Of course I enjoyed all the episodes but I guess they'll have to make an OVA, a movie or a second part to show how Kuronuma reaches Kazehaya, isn't that the point: ''Reaching You''?

I think I liked the most that at the ending all the couples-to-be are showed: Sawako and Kazehaya, Yano and Ryu, Chizu and Pin... I was right about Pin and Chizu! mwajaja >D (see Today's Question)
Well, that's all... Have a nice weekend...
