Stumbled on some really adorable Kare Kano fanart today. It brought me back to my Kare Kano watching days. So much that it kind of made me want to make a post on how much I love Kare Kano.

So.

I love Kare Kano. :D

I NEED TO BUY THE MANGA. NOW. ;O; … goodbye, savings! You have served me well all these non-eating lunch hours!

Tokyo Akazukin

Summary
It’s modern day Tokyo and debauchery populates every street corner. One inhabitant in this city is Little Red Riding Hood, a gun wielding eleven-year-old child. Her only desire is to find Mr. Wolf and be eaten by him. Not an easy task, since nearly every person she meets wants to eat her, but Little Red Riding Hood happens to take things in stride.

Review
This is, more or less, the sickest manga I’ve read in a long time. I know a lot of people have taken the initiative to make this old fairy tale something a little out of the ordinary, but I seriously never expected something as … wrong as this.

The first chapter is Little Red Riding Hood herself having a grand old time with some disgusting pervert. Eventually, she finds out that he isn’t her Mr. Wolf and blows his brains out. Little Red’s sole desire in life is to find Mr. Wolf and be eaten by him. Like, seriously eaten. Like, chomp chomp. Seems to me that’s the only thing that can get this child content.

So if you aren’t squeamish then go ahead, read the manga. The grotesque amount loli and gore pretty much freaked me out, but I can live with it.

But really, there’s a lot of appeal. I, no matter how wrong it was, read more chapters. Even the constant appearance of guts didn’t stop me. The fight scenes are pretty cool. Anyway, even if there is alot of sex and way too much violence, this series is actually pretty fun.

But that’s really all it’s getting from me. I can’t find any other reason to like it except that it’s really interesting with how it progresses.

So, I think I’d rate it a 7/10. :)

Mweh.

Intrams today.

FUNNEST DAY EVER EVER.

Plus, I was able to borrow Juvenile Orion from a schoolmate. Yah beybeh!

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!
