Death Note (manga), Honey and Clover II

Death Note

I just realized that I haven’t made a proper post for Death Note (I’m pretty sure fangirling isn’t proper, anyway). I’ll just blog what I’ve read in the manga so far, which is only until chapter forty. The start of Death Note was already pretty intriguing. Ryuk/Ryuku himself was enough to get me to continue, really. Plus, Raito/Light is in desperate need of professional help and that’s pretty cool. The concept of this death note thing is also very creative. The morbidity and this wrong sense of justice is just so awesome. The plot also builds up really well and I didn’t get bored during the time I was reading it (vision started failing, man!).

As for the characters, I am totally not complaining. I love L and his quirks and oddities. Raito/Light is kind of a love/hate character for me, though. I really hate him sometimes but I can’t see Death Note continuing without him. Misa can get a little annoying but she’s otherwise pretty damn fun. The detective squad is so awesome (especially Matsuda!). I have no complains whatsoever.

In conclusion, Death Note really got me hooked. With the combination of really good art and really , really good plot, how can it not?

Honey and Clover II

May contain slight spoilers.

I’ve only watched till episode six, so I’ll blog about that. The first episode was basically a recap of the first season. Nothing truly surprising there. In the next episodes, we get to see a little of Hagu’s dilemma with Takemoto, some insight on Shinobu and Kaoru’s childhood past, and Shinobu’s feelings for Hagu. Most of the episodes I’ve watched so far, though, deals with Yamada’s feelings for Mayama and Mayama’s feelings for Rika. Episodes like these MAKE ME CRY. I really, really, really don’t want to hate Mayama but he’s making it so hard on poor Yamada. And I truly, truly, truly want Mayama to go with Rika (especially after episode four!) but I love Yamada way too much to hope for that.

But the blooming relationship between Nomiya and Yamada is really heartwarming. I’d rather see Yamada with Nomiya, really. Nomiya is just really sincere and nice and sweet and self-consciously adorable!

As for the Takemoto/Hagu/Shinobu relationship, it’s starting to get somewhere but… not really. Every time it feels like something is going to happen, it stops. But I’m still Takemoto/Hagu, man! Takemoto, go, go!

Euuaughr.

January 25, 2007

Spent nearly the whole day reading as much Death Note as I could. My eyes started hurting, head started aching, and stomach continously growling. Plus, I ended up getting hiccups, too.

Goshdarnit.

Still. Death Note is just so so so so so sooooo much fun. I can’t stop fangirling over L/Misa. I really have no idea what attracts me to the couple. Maybe it’s their stark differences; Misa’s so active and L’s just… blah, etc. Well, whatever the case, it pushed me into looking all over the web for good fanart of them. Found a few good ones, too, especially those made by a certain artist (also made HDoujins of Misa, actually).

Oh, and I’m not particularly fond of Raito/Light. That guy bothers me. Alot.

AH. AH. AHHHH. So much luuuv.


HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
