I’ve been reading so much manga lately, I thought I might as well write about some of what I’m reading. Also for some reason I had a really hard time writing this entry, I didn’t bother checking spelling so I’m sorry it’s so terrible!!

New Series

Kekkaishi volumes 1-4- This is a series I had read a lot about on certain message boards so when there was a sale on Viz manga I decided to order the first two volumes. I liked it a whole lot! So much so that I decided to go out and get the next two volumes as soon as I could. I also forced my little brother to read it, he enjoyed it as well. I really liked Yoshimori, the wanting to build a castle of sweets thing is cute. I like Tokine too even though she seems like a bit of snob. The fourth volume was very good, I cried while I was reading the story about the pastery maker and his brother… yup if a manga can make me cry I know it’s good!

I’m so lazy, I got tons of manga recently and I’d like to write about some of that but I can’t bring myself to do it yet. Oh well…

Innocent Venus 4

I was looking foward to this episode a lot and really it wasn’t as awesome as I thought it would be. But then again I don’t know what I really expected from it. Jo coming to get Jin was really cool, it also showed that even though they’re always winning and are really great at everything they can still be outsmarted. I like Toraji too, I was glad we learned about him but I hope they show more about him in future episodes like his motives for leaving phantom and such. I guess what I was disapointed with was the fight between phantom and Jin and Jo, it was OK but nothing great. I decided that I don’t like that big muscle guy or the knife guy in phantom, I kind of want them both to die I like Steve and tarot guy (Chinran?) though. Also this episode pretty much showed that Gora will never die, he annoys a lot of people but I like him and his voice so I’m glad he didn’t die… especially after what happened on Blood+ this week :’( The next episode looks pretty cute.

Doing reviews and stuff is boring, making lists is fun! So I decided to have some fun and make a bunch of lists of my favorite characters woo :D As fun as it was it was kind of hard too because my favorite characters change every day and I’m always forgetting some of them but I tried.

I’m so lazy, I could post here more then once a week but I don’t. Why? Just because I’m lazy.

Before I start I have to advertise: I’m selling some of my manga here. Most of it is sold but there’s still some left and I’m also thinking of adding some more. So if you’re interested in buying some cheap random manga check it out, thanks :-P

Bokura Ga Ita, Night Head Genesis, Innocent Venus August 5, 2006

No I haven’t abandoned this… sorry :-P I’ve been pretty busy lately but not too busy to watch some of the new summer shows. So I have some short thoughts on some new shows.

Bokura Ga Ita

This was one of the shows I was really looking forward to this season because it’s made by Artland and directed by Akitaroh Daichi.

The feeling of this kind of reminds me of Mushishi, it could be all in my head but it’s a nice relaxing show to watch just like Mushishi was. It feels nice and it looks nice. I enjoyed watching the first episode a lot. The only problem I could have with it is that I don’t care much for stories where the main female is stupid and the main male is potentially abusive but so far I hate the characters a lot less then I thought I would.
