xoxo - fymb

scan and recommend

the scanned post is so embarrassing! >.<<<

let's start? i read a lot this week and here are some of the manga i read. let's read together, can we?!

Aye, aye!

manga: 

Aishiteruze Baby

Kippei Katakura is a 17-year-old playboy who spends his time chasing girls, careless of their feelings. But when his 5-year-old cousin Yuzuyu comes to live with his family after her mother's sudden disappearance, Kippei is put in charge of taking care of her. As Kippei gets to know Yuzuyu and starts to understand how she feels, he also begins to realize that all girls were like Yuzuyu once...
*source: MAL
- i just finished reading this and definitely a good read. this is one of the manga i started from start to finish! A very fast read, cute characters, many lessons to learn, a good ending(i guess- hm.. well, i want more!) and worth to read.
manga:

Kirakira 100%

Miku is an ordinary girl, who has a crush on her classmate Shibutani-kun. Miku doesn't have confidence in herself, and holds her feelings inside. But one day, after a makeover with the help of her guy friend Yuutenji, she ends up confessing her love to Shibutani-kun!

*source: MAL

- a typical shoujo manga about an ordinary girl who have a little crush on the boy protagonist. a cute manga that can make you at ease when you read it first in a nice Saturday morning. A kimi ni todoke-like manga.

manga:(last...)

Honey Bitter

Shuri Otokawa, a girl who can see premonitions of the future, has been trying to hide and suppress her special ability for 18 years. In order to start a new life, she joins the private investigation agency owned by her aunt, trying to use her ability in a beneficial way. However, her ex-boyfriend (and the reason of her hate towards men) Riki Nijihara was accidentally hired by her aunt as well, not to mention his superior performance as a private detective has thwarted her plan to have her aunt fired him. With another male colleague named Youta Kubo who has a crush on her, Shuri has to prove herself professionally worthy as well as dealing her office affairs triangle. 

*source: MAL

- i like this one. i haven't finished reading it yet but it started cool and i think i'll be reading this until its end. A light supernatural manga with a bit of romance and comedy. Never bites. never give you stress. ;)

Good tidings!

what is there to hate? well.. maybe at the beginning, he started out as a player, happy-go-lucky guy..

but at some point, he makes sense.

he makes sense in some ways.. but still do a lot of action.

and when i say a lot of action..

i mean it. a lot, lot, lot of turn-on actions.

and of course.. when all the entrance, arm twists, kicks and some boobs(lol) are shown and done,

all that sense goes back as well.

leaving girls on bended knees.

bye! - fymb

*imaybe i'll scan my written thoughts next time. lol. lazy today.

reading in a rainy day..

how's the weather out there? while i'm writing this blog post, it's raining. it is so hard to choose what to do whether to sleep, read an ebook or surf the net. but hey, i chose one.. so here we go..
this post contains some selected crops from few latest manga updates.  i opened this certain manga site and saw 'i love her ch 12 update', it took me forever to calm my nerves. lol. it's one of my fave. some of you who really read everything i post here might already know that i love reading manga stories with protagonists with very distant age gaps or manga with student-teacher love stories. and 'i love her' manga is one of those.  honestly i found myself crying some real tears. and also, why can't they update an old, completed 90's manga like, so fast? this is always so frustrating.. ;((( i dont' know when will be the next update, but i'll be keeping myself busy so i can't remember it too well..huhu

 *want to read about my fave genre? click here: stud-teach love
anyways.. here are my fave scene.. manga: i love her chapter 12

oww.. Hana really love Sensei.

and Sensei seems on the same side too.

He keep all the feelings inside and try to be all so composed to be able to not hurt somebody, right? Because if not, if he is not a teacher in the first place, he can automatically choose between the two girls. if he is not a teacher, he can make up his mind, very easily, who to run for.. who to come into for shelter.. for hugs and for kisses. If society never pressures, a love story might not be very complicated like this. But, it is. and for that, they have to keep those cute, loving and precious little moments to themselves, snap out of it as fast as they could tolerate and pull over some strength and face reality. If the society and some people who would be hurt, he can hug her as many as he could. he could continue living next door and never worry for anything. he can say goodbye to that Nishikawa girl and confess to Hana that she's really the girl he love. and if fate is hiding, he can fuck it bigtime and run to her anytime without worrying about the world. But... it's nothing like that. there is no easy way out. and the only way to take.. is the hard way.

;(((

next crop.. manga: stardust wink chapter 19

meet, Asou, Ayane.. hmm..

oh my..how can things not fall for these two? the new-but-not-really-new-coz-she's-the-ex girl came and will rock their world-definitely. She's the ex, so.. a 'someone' to look forward to.

i'll still be cheering for Sou. lol. hinata's all gone. maybe, the next time we'll be seeing him he's with someone new, or kissing that bitch teacher again. lol, i  am so sorry, i can't get over with that scene. it doesn't have any clear explanation about that, right? im still confused.(ahm.. look for the past chapters, you'll know what i'm saying or click  this.

 last.. manga: faster than a kiss chapter 48

 Kazuma's father:

I can't help but worry. His father seems vulnerable, but i sense something.. something dark. For a fact that he said that he didn't know his own child, makes me think that he was thinking a future problem to occur. He might be planning something, right? 

It is so funny that i started to read this manga, and here we go, it's chapter fuckin' 48 and there is no direct lip-to-lip kiss? oh man... the author seems pruny--lol. i think, we could get used to it for a while, besides we can't expect a kiss for the following months. the thing is, at some point, former updates doesn't excite me anymore. i know, the update should be, and maybe it's the motive of the author to excite us and expect a kissing scene already, but my hopes- it seems so deteriorating. maybe, the waiting is too much. i know, maybe sensei is waiting after she graduates, but a kiss can't kill! lol. Or, as the title implies, some scenes can be faster than a kiss. ehehe.. Anyways, i will be here. nothing to worry about-mr/ms. author. ;))

*so.. here we go.. thank you for reading.

maybe next time, i'm gonna scan personal messages for you guys like i've done months back.

words and actions.

hi. crops for yah..
usui's featured cosplay never fail fangirls!

i mean, when will he fails? when will be the time he, for once, make a mistake? Even if everytime Misaki's words surprises him, he can still be cute and so appreciative of each words, when people around are clueless. He can fathom each words while others understand as it is. The fact that sometimes Misaki is just being kind, he can turn each of them as sweetness. (kaichou wa maid-sama ch66)

Meanwhile.. someone is jealous..

he's totally irritated by their closeness here. oh man.. shoujo manga is always like this. the boy protagonist takes time to confess to the girl, girl gets close to someone, the boy gets jealous, he always makes those actions that the girl never notice, then.. then at the end, the girl gets to confess. i mean, be the first to do things, Kou. You have that nice face to begin with. (ao haru ride ch 12)

This time, i am team Shou..hehe

So much for Yuki, if she wants to be friends then let it be. It's the circumstances in which Seiji wanted a relationship with her and yet he can't have. Then Shou is always been there. I think, Seiji might try to work out with Shou, this time. I happen to read a forum that readers wanted Risa at least to have a chance with Seiji. I am with them too, unlike Yuki, she is straight forward and very clear about  her  feelings. And maybe, Sasaki, Keiko(story and art) is considering that angle too. Anti-Yuki much? hehe.. no, it's just that, maybe she's better off alone this time. And when the time comes when she's ready, i want a scene where she confesses first.. just for a change. (good ending ch 105)

-- bye. ;)

we were there.. from the beginning and then, last 3 chap to go..

i forgot writing about chapter 68 of Bokura ga ita. a lot in my mind these days. who read it? seems like a new obstacle occurs.. or an added reason for them to actually meet?

when i saw this page above, i felt sad. it's going to end, i thought. it will definitely end with these two together. but as it progresses in these last chapters, it's a reality to feel bad how these chapters are still containing a large gap between them. they deserve to be together, we know that. And the fact that it's a drama manga, it keeps us hoping 'til the last chapter - which i'm sure will make you and me feel a lot of emotions.  Anyways, Yuuki Obata is still one of the best. 

If I were to ask by people what is my favorite manga, I'll be enthusiastic to recommend this manga and will hope that they will read it because, they might miss a fraction of a good life! (nods, nods)

It is so nice to know how they pursue harder to get in touch with each other

how distance gets in the way but the hope of them connecting will make it shorter.

Even though they didn't know what to do and what to say when they will finally meet,

because it will get weird how the conversation will go and conclude, how scary it will be if it will fall from their "his and hellos' to flashes of hurts and millions of questions long left unanswered, the thought of seeing each other might make things fall into place. Besides, there were people whose lives got involved as well.. 

who in return made them a better person(who got Yano for the first time, insecure and lose- go Takeuchi!)

So, maybe.. well, we already have a hunch how it might end. A good one, i hope.

But 3 chapters, is still three fuckin' emotional, roller-coaster chapter! I already sense an emotional experience of me reading the last update, but let's make it lasts.

And.. Yano and Nana.. make it work!

---

until next time!

*please read the whole chap, if you haven't read it yet. enjoy

shhhhhh.. 1

hi. it's me again. are you feeling the chill? fall started so quickly, and then.. winter is just around the corner. How's school? For me, I graduated already so, not feeling the pressure anymore. But some days, i feel like missing school. It will be your time when you should be making good memories with friends and boyfriends. eyyy... Believe me, it is way better than being haggard to work. For me, it's like an opportunity to learn things. Oh my... what am i saying?! lol. Of course, students always say, "screw school!" hehe. But, you have to admit.. you don't really totally  hate school, right?!
Anyways... purpose of this blog post?.. hm.. I'm gonna be saying some things about the manga:

Kanojo wa Uso wo Aishisugiteru 

Synopsis (source: MAL)

Ogasawara Aki (age 25) is the reclusive, idealistic composer of the popular band Crude Play. Discontented with his life and with no drive to succeed, he meets Riko, the 16-year-old grocer's daughter in a band consisting of her childhood friends, and asks her to be his girlfriend on a whim. Riko, young and innocent, agrees immediately, but worries about her new boyfriend, whom she suspects has just broken up with a woman he cared very much for. 

.......

My real recommendations are just posted right here on my blogger account so.. let's keep this as a secret. hm? A real good follower will smile...;))

Personally, i am bias for shoujo manga. BUt Sometimes, it just gets me pissed off because of the idiot girl, the liar boy or the bitch blond. It plays with my emotion but knowing that plots resolutes in the end, it assures me and i'll be fine. Many times, i feel that almost all of the shoujo manga are fuckin' all the same. Then, without knowing, i'm scanning the pages and didn't care to read the captions. I'm being unfair for it. These times,  I hated those authors playing a romantic love plot that i can't even bear to believe because it's just all being repeated. 

Anyways, i still read. Maybe because, i'm witnessing a world in my screen that seems so perfect, so i'm like i might as well escape reality even if it's just a short time. Escaping reality, huh?- a real otaku's old reason. tsk.. 

Ok, cut the crap. let's get to the point.

Just started reading it. It's still updating and ongoing so let me tell you about my impressions.

The guy. It reminds me of Yano in Bokura ga ita. I started liking him with his pick up line. But the worst is, he's started and built as like being a liar. I Hate liars. so when he immediately say that "he's a neet and a virgin", i was like, "oh, no you didn't?!!".

And the thing about he's being crazily in love with a girl who loves another, and do anything for her just turned me off. And the fact that when he always see this girl he automatically thinking about having her into his bed just sucks.

But,  there's a conflict in himself.  he'll be making his move by doing what he really wanted to finish some things and be better. (chap 6)

The girl. She loves singing. One time when she's in middle school, she heard a guy humming a melody and she can't forget it. a typical shoujo girl. that's how she's being described. Abnoxious, sensitive, innocent, and a cry baby.

The pretty-and-famous-and-sexy-no-one-can't-ignore-and-the-one-who-do-the-pretty-lame-excuses-for-meeting-him-but-every-shoujo-boy-always-fall-for-it-anyway girl (lol, that's long). A bitch. Totally. LOl. 

At this moment, i wonder how some girls are like that. They are physically blessed but they are mean. You know, when you were born pretty and you are aware of that, try making some of your qualities pretty good too. A mean girl is always a mean girl. A good girl is the best girl.

toodles!

*my favorite season of the year! fall!>.<

;))))

Review: Saiunkoku Monogatari Season 1

Sypnosis: (MAL)

Saiunkoku is a world of eight provinces or houses, each named after a different colour. The new Emperor, Shi Ryuuki, has gained for a reputation for being uninterested in courtly matters and for flaunting his love for men. Shuurei, although born of the important Kou family, has difficulty making ends meet. She easily accepts an invitation to be the Emperor's concubine in order to turn him into a good ruler. The mysterious Seiran, a young man who was adopted by her father, goes with her as Ryuuki's bodyguard. Entering the imperial palace revives Shuurei's dream of being a court official, and, together with the many companions she meets along the way, continues moving bravely forward while trying to fend off the Emperor's advances.

************

Hayeeh!

You know, the one thing i regret is to slip off a good anime and not giving it a try. Watching Saiunkoku Monoogatari is like having to be careless about the world, like staring a fall leaf to drop, waiting for a snow flakes to crash the window or like staring your crush from afar and just being happy and contented. ;)

4 Days ago i was needing a good anime to watch and wanted to be away to those anime which are action-fantasy-supernatural type for a change. I wanted something new. I thought of Fushigi Yuugi's era and it led me to this anime.

It was supposed to be good.. but i think it's more than that. It was so addicting that i was always surprised when the closing song starts to play. I can't get enough of it. And before I knew it, I was crying at the closing song.. of the last episode.

It's the third time that an anime made me cry. The first was Bokura ga ita and second, i cried a bucket of watching Clannad: after story.

If I'm gonna recommend a good anime, this has to be one of those. Forget Naruto, One piece or Bleach for a second, you gonna give this a try. And if you started posting its pictures on your blog, i'm watching you!! (devil's eyes..hehe)

It was aired 2006, well, i can't blame myself of not watching it on that year because i was having a cursing time with my Algebra problems. (laughs)

It's not really the looks of the characters I'm truly impressed. It's the characters. Each of them are different. Each was established in a way you can't ignore one of them. It's the feeling of knowing each of them and having to feel what their actions are because of their past, their work, their ranks and their dreams. You'll be telling "I like the Emperor for her", and then at some point your option was being swayed because a new character was built and then at the end you'll be saying "It doesn't matter who's for who.. really.." The funny thing is, even the minor character won you over.

At some of the episodes, It was so fulfilling having to feel what the girl protagonist is feeling. Or, having to predict like, "Oh my, she's in-love with him.." even without truly hearing romantic words from the girl.

What more can I say, I loved it.

bye! :)

*Ahm.. i would love to hear your thoughts. :) - fymb

*those were good recommendations for yah.. ;)

crops for today!

hi guys!let me tell you about where we went this day. we went to downtown. you know, when downtown comes in my mind, i always think 'bout library and bookstore! hehe.. i bought "The Girl with the dragon tattoo by Stieg Larsson. I was planning to read this book when a movie adaptation trailer came. who had a copy? I decided to buy this Millenium series book one as soon as possible. I always love books and everytime i got to have time i want to go to bookstore to purchase book copies. I catched glimpse of some manga and what a bliss it was! Naruto is always a bestseller and Bleach. I also found the  Hino Matsuri Illustrations Vampire Knight book. I always love  his art. All pages are consists of solid packed colored illustrations of VK characters in full pages! Most of the illustrations are of the main trio; Zero, Yuki and Kaname. But even with in that, there are a lot of pairing pictures, mostly Zero x Yuki or Kaname x Yuki. I say, the print quality is very high!


Anyways.. so much for that, here are some of my favorite crops today!

manga: hentai oiji to warawanai neko
*"why can't i just speak my mind?" - how many of you ask this question at some point of your life? Are you the kind who unconsciously say what your mind speak, discreetly say safe words for you to not hurt others even if you're shouting inside, or not speak any of those thoughts in your mind at all? This phrase stopped my reading momentum and made me pause and think a bit longer. If you're gonna ask me, i can only say that there are times that words should be left unspoken and needed to be rephrased when decided to let it off and hear. I think, even the most sarcastic and tact person in the world have words and thought that never even said. 

manga: hana no mizu shiru

*i already read this one, but when i was browsing some manga to read, i accidentally click this again and i got hooked again. >.< This is one of the few  yaoi/shounen ai that i love.

manga: Kore wa Koi no Hanashi

*ahm.. i know some might not be interested in the genre/type of manga which focuses on the couple protagonists which have a wide age gap usually 10 to 15 years. Furthermore, this manga crosses that gaps because this time a 10-year-old have feelings for a 30-year-old novelist. So, when you do a little math, yes, they are 20 years apart. Don't react! Reserve opinions in mind. This manga won me over because there is something about it that will make you think how Love can cross boundaries. It won me over. if you read this, well congrats, i think you read some few manga worth reading! If not, try.

*that's it for now! for those students out there.. study hard! xoxo

my favorite crops for the week: set 1

starting now, i'm  gonna post crops i recently read and watched over the week(so a post for each week). it turns out that i have to at least remember them because at some point a thought of losing my files bothers me. I've got a trauma about deletion of such files. i remember one time when i and my best friend had shopping, had the best laughs and had our pictures taken and then suddenly she accidentally deleted all. it broke my heart not just because of that, but because she cried over the phone. so, with that experience in mind, i should at least place my favorite anime and manga pics and crops to where it can't be easily deleted.
here we go..

(crop from aozora yell)

*looking at my shoes means being shy and too weak to look into people, to talk socially, having no confidence and saying apologies always(well.. the girl used to say sorry..so..)

(crop from naruto ch 558)

*i love these guys.

(crop from blue exorcist)

*the current 'apple of my eye'. he can be cute at any time and as badass as hell!

(crop from blood c manga)

*yes.. yes.. it's from blood c manga. i'm sorry, i can't get enough. >,>

for now.. these are some. the week is far over so maybe i can add some over the next few days.

mwah.

fave cosplayer..

before i started writing this blog, i got a problem what pic of Alodia Gosiengfiao I'm gonna post. It was way too many and they were all cute. And then i decided to pick a very simple one.

Profile, you say? Two words - "Cosplay Queen". She got my attention really quick. She really have nice face but it's not the reason i got to admire this woman. The fact that she loves anime, video games and cosplay and so other things makes her not only cute but beautiful. When i see her, i always smile. Maybe because she lives in a life of being an anime lover which she loves and loves her back.

To know her more, you can check her out thru her facebook account here.

Here are some of my favorite pictures of Alodia and maybe you can easily guess what character she's portraying.

you? do you have a particular cosplayer in mind that made you smile and love anime more? comment. i wanna know!

love lots!
