Sabbatical

Right now, I'm in Wisconsin doing some research, and I'm off manga/anime for the period I'm on my REU...cold turkey. >_<

Expect a binge when I get home, second week of August. ^_^ Until that time arises, go here and look up /Eternal Sabbath/, /Please Save My Earth/, and anything by Midorikawa Yuki. Especially that collection of shorts she did...'cause it's good. ^_^

I was reading a personal favorite of mine, Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, (I loooove the gangsta gangsta manga to me--it just seems so ironic. Plus, there is no badass like a manga badass) when I saw the most awesome picture of our favorite meganekko, Adachi Hana!

You've gotta love a girl who can rock her shades like that.

As you can see, there might be a touch of prejudice in this character's personality...hehehe

Maybe, someday, I can aspire to be...

What do you think?

Note: for those that read the page and may not know what a "goukon" is, it's an arranged meeting for groups of girls and guys to hook up / find bfs/gfs. You want a hottie of the same sex to attend, so that you can get plenty of dudes/babes to attend.

Read This First!

This is going to be an introductory post for the new readers, with all the things they should know before beginning to read this blog. Experienced readers of manga can jump right in (Know what Fruits Basket is? Know the difference between shoujo and shonen? You're good), but newer readers might be a bit confused. Obviously the site is not completely up yet (no links, ect), but check back every once in a while to see how the site's been updated, and if you have any questions whatsoever, please please comment and I'll get back with you as soon as possible!

1.) Dictionary is here. Take a look over it to see how I'm defining everything; the link to it is in the sidebar in case you ever need to check back.

2.) WARNING: I use mangafox.com for almost all my links to manga, however it's prone to massive amounts of popups, so be careful/go over to onemanga.com if possible for your regular reading unless you have a good popup protector (I do, so it only really bothers me when I'm on a computer that doesn't, and it has multiple times the amount of manga that onemanga.com does). However, with that being said, onemanga.com does have most of the best manga (though it is sadly lacking in oneshots, in my opinion), and it's very stable. If you have any concerns about your firewall/popup protector/ect., head over there. While I use mangafox because it generally gets the new chapters in more quickly and has a lot more series, I would reccommend onemanga.com to all new readers, as it is a more stable site (and quicker, from my personal experience).

3.) I'm going to scan in a "how to read manga" page pretty soon...look for that later.

Apparently, all Americans think that you can see Mt. Fuji from anywhere in Japan...

I really need to start reading more shonen manga; when I first started poking around the manga world online, I dabbled in shonen (you know, the basics--Full Metal Alchemist, Bleach, ect.)--but then I found shoujo, and haven't left it since. Anyways, I was making one of my very rare forays into the world of boy's manga (though plenty of girls read it too), and came across this assumption about Americans:

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/doushirou_de_gozaru/v01/c001/17.html

Now this is definitely not the wierdest idea about Americans that I've come across in manga (I will never, ever forget the day I saw the line "Didn't you know? Everyone in America's done it by the time they're 10!"--apparantly, I'm quite the slacker...), but it did make me laugh. The manga, on its own, is pretty cool; it's about a Japanese boy raised in the middle of Nevada (where, apparently, the bison have somehow managed to still run free) as a samurai from the Edo period. Now he's come back to modern-day Japan to live with his mom and younger brother and...well...he's got issues. But they're funny issues, so it's all good. ^_^
