UPDATE...

... Yo. June has passed and no new review or what-not. And there I was prattling about being consistent for once and keeping a regular writing schedule. Oops. I just thought about how I always never had a second post when I'm starting, so I guess I slacked on my third post, thinking that there'll be another one since I've broken my streak of first-and-last posts. Actually, I've been thinking about what to write here and all. I've got a pending blog draft for Ballroom e Youkoso and Ouran High School Host Club. I've got plans for OHSHC, and hopefully I'll be able to push through with it. For the former, I can't really come up with collages. The reason mainly because the art is indeed stunning and I've hit a wall on making collages. So, either upload that without collages or come up with at least one edit. I really liked the manga, too, and now that it's getting an anime adaptation, I can't let it receive less love than my first two p

MIZUTAMA HONEY BOY

< I reckon, why not another shoujo manga review? It will also be a shame if I forget about this precious little manga I'm about to share with you. Because, really, it's funny and cute at the same time. It's entitled Mizutama Honey Boy—yes, the title is a bit on the cheesier side—but don't let that fool you to ignoring this one. Mizutama Honey Boy  by Ike Junko is a shoujo manga about the kendo club captain, Sengoku Mei and the "girliest" boy of the school, Fuji Shirou. Though the term I used may disturb some, "girly" is what describes Fuji the best. He knows how to sew, elaborately and intricately, might I add, how to cook, and has the poise and delicateness of a maiden, even his pure heart. On the other hand, Sengoku is an independent, strong-willed, "masculine" character. She's the captain of the kendo club and even has her own female fan club. The story starts with Fuji confessing about his feelings for Sengoku.

TSUBAKI-CHOU LONELY PLANET

< Is a first post in a blog as nerve-wracking as making first impressions with your imminent university classmates? No, of course not. It's much easier. And for that unnecessary introduction, I'll now move on to my very first *wipes single tear* manga review here. And it's all about a sexy reclusive writer and a high school student living together. Have you guessed already? (Well, it's in the title...) Yes, it's Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet by Yamamori Mika! This was one of the few, newer ones I've been reading, and one that proved itself to be interesting. The story revolves around the protagonists, Ohno Fumi and Kibikino Akatsuki, the former an unfortunate high school student and the latter a reclusive (but attractive) and kind-of-an-airhead author. Other supporting characters that aren't less of the two are the editor, Gorou Kaneishi and Fumi's classmates, Tobiume You and Aioi Isshin. The story's premise is that Fumi, a rather sim
