Shoujo Recommendation: Hibi Chouchou

Welcome back Readers!
I take this moment to rant a little.

That I am thankful for these "unpleasant" people in my life.

Because they teach me to become someone I don't want to be.

Get that off my chest, and now, we shall start.
I was thinking of posting my views on anime that I had posted about before.
But I'll do that tomorrow.

Now it's another shoujo manga, the same author as "Tsubaki chou Lonely Planet".
I happen to stumble upon Hibi Chouchou when it was still ongoing.
I really love the art.
The characters are beautiful.

Upon entering high school, the very quiet but extremely cute Suiren becomes the immediate center of attention among the boys…but one particular boy does not look her way.The story of a quiet girl and a quiet boy. A short, refreshing love story.

And one thing about this manga is that it doesn't go all out love.
By that, I mean you know how some shoujo characters just think about love and not studying?
I'm sure there's a time we went "Gosh, they don't care about school huh?"
Hibi Chouchou is very subtle. (Sorry for my lack of vocabulary)
It starts subtle, and at the same time it focuses on each character development.
Not just the main leads.

I love how the main guy, Kawasumi, thinks about his Karate.
And the main girl, Suiren, thinks about how she's gonna change to become "stronger",
in a sense that she can interact with people and not be timid and quiet.
Hands down, I think Suiren and Kawasumi is the cutest couple yet.
Just look at them!

Well, I did say I was a dark-hair bias.
And there's another character that fits it, and I'm not complaining.
Heh.

Ba-thump Ba-thump ♥

Welp, Hibi Chouchou is actually completed.
So readers, you can enjoy reading this manga (if you haven't)
Without the fear of waiting for another release chapter.

Till then!

Random Recommendation: An Important Talk Between You and Me

Okaeri Readers!
It's the weekend, and let me tell you...
I am freakin' drained out.
I was dragged out of the house to go to 2 different places.
One was a sea aquarium that was closing down, and it. was. HELL.

There were so many people. in such an enclosed place.
Let me tell you, I'm slight claustrophobic.
So throughout the time being in there all I can think of was:
        "Oh please don't let there be a stampede..."
And at the same time I was thinking,
        "Hey I wonder what'll happen if I shout FIRE!!"

And the other place was equally the same.
But rather than an enclosed space (thank god), it's open.
But that doesn't mean it's any better.
All those street food, shops and a constant never-ending stream of people,
pushing and groping (just kidding).
whatever it is, bottomline, I absolutely loathe crowded place.

That aside, why is this post a "Random Recommendation"?
It's either I'm too tired to explain or it's just a random manga I found.
Wakaranai.

But anyways, this manga is hella funny.
It's tagged as Shoujo as well.
There's just 3 chapters so far.

The high school romantic comedy manga centers on Aizawa, a high school girl who is in love with her classmate Azuma, but she doesn't talk much in school. In the train station, Aizawa says something completely unexpected to him.

Two words:
Random, Hilarious, Unexpected.
Yes, I can count.
The first chapter got me burst out laughing when I reached the end.
But I guess we all can relate to the female lead.

I'll just share with you basically how the first chapter went.
Imagine finally you're able to gather all your courage and confessed to the guy you like.
And having a random conversation with him.

Having that "ba-thump ba-thump ♥" moment right there.
So you wanna try and be friends first with him instead.
And then...

Hold up, is that what I think I see?
Is that-....??
Yeap. It is.

But of course, I don't want to spoil it for you.
So Readers, you have to check it out and see how she reacted afterwards!
And if you think chapter 1 wasn't funny enough,
you have yet to continue chapter 2 and 3.

I have witness his manly lower half...

What has seen, can't be unseen...

Till then!

Manhwa Recommendation: Dr. Frost

Welcome back Readers!
If my post seem "distracted" in a way,
it just means that I really am. Literally.
My train of thought just poofed because while I'm typing this,
my sister is feeding her son while singing some children's rhyme.
So every time I thought of something to type, my mind just started to sing along.

GODDAYUM these rhymes really do stick with you huh?
I wonder if I didn't mention about it, would you have noticed?
Unless you're some super psychologist...

Like Dr. Frost.

Yes, Dr. Frost.
Readers, if you're interested in psychological genre,
or you just want to break away from your shoujo binge-reading;
Dr. Frost is just the right manhwa for you.

We trust professionals with our money. We also trust professionals with our bodies. We even trust them with the most meticulous tasks, like decorating our homes and educating our children. Even marriage decisions. We could trust professionals with so many things. However, what about our minds? The story of a genius psychologist, Dr. Frost.

Dr Frost is a very interesting character.
You might expect a psychologist to have emotions like sympathy, empathy etc;
so they could understand the feelings of their patients and understand what they're going through.
(Well, that's my opinion after watching/reading anything psychology related stuffs)
But Dr Frost?
He lacks that important feeling.
So you can imagine, him being frank to someone who's having a rough time.

Only to make the person feel terrible, while he just goes "meh". 
The reason why I love to read this is because I want to know more about him.
What made him that way, what does he really feel after helping a patient.
And other mysterious stuffs like: What does the other professor wants to do with him??

Moreover, another main character is the polar opposite of him.
So you can imagine how these two would be working together.
You'll be able to see how their character develop, and how one supports the other.
Also the cute bicker over trivial stuffs between them.

Once you read Dr Frost, you're unable to stop because of the suspense of each case.
So, I'll admit, I couldn't stop once I reach the conclusion of a case...
even though it was 2 AM.

So Readers, I strongly recommend this psychological genre manhwa.
Because Dr Frost is a hotti- 
I mean, the story is hella interesting.
It's ongoing, and I'll be discussing about the latest update if I can.

Did I mention he has an adorable white dog?

Dayum. a hottie and he has a pet. *drools*

Till then!

Manhwa Recommendation: Naui Binaneun Sengye

Okaeri Readers!

I didn't manage to post anything yesterday because I was down with fever.

To be honest, I'm a lazy potato so I thought "I'll pass today."

But no. This has got to stop.

Also, I think I have a cat fur stuck in my throat.

This has got to stop.

Anyways, it's time for a Manhwa recommendation~

Okay. Again, I'd like to apologise for another romance genre.

I'll recommend a new genre tomorrow. Yakusoku.

But hey, it's not like I recommend just some random stuff.

Naui Binaneun Sengye, also known as My Shining World, is gooooooood.

Hella good.

I hafta admit, I'm those kind of person that "judges a book by it's cover" (just books)

Sorry, can't help it I prefer nicer art style.

But most of their plot just sucks. Bad.

My first impression of this manhwa when I saw the cover was "meh"

Because it looked like this:

A girl who is afraid of people. And then approaches a small light. Every person in this world changes, it could be anything like their desires or personalities. What if behind a person smiles hides a dark malice or depression? How will someone react to it if that person have the ability to see their hidden facade? This is the story of a girl who can see the ever changing form of humanity as she dives into the mysterious realms of the unknown and real life.

Yes, I'm so sorry to any Maru's fans or Pinnochio (manhwa) fans.

I should go drown in a well.

Although the cover pic didn't appeal to me as much, the title did.

So I thought, "Alright fine, if the first chapter is interesting, I'll continue."

And DAYUM, it was.

I was hooked.

The art is beautiful. The story line is interesting.

The colours, oh gawd. Speechless.

The main characters are cute and funny.

And it's the first time I actually don't mind the hero to not be dark-haired.

In fact, his hair is just of the perfect colour because my next favourite thing is cherry blossom♥.

He has hair of that colour. 

Look at that gorgeous guy.

The Heroine is not those typical oh-save-me-my-prince type.

Although she's timid, as her character develop, you can't help but root for her.

So Readers, I hope you check this Manhwa out.

It's ongoing, and good news, it updates weekly (if I'm not wrong).

I got dibs on that hot badass ahjussi.

Till then!

Shoujo Recommendation: Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet

Welcome back Readers!
I really need to chill with these shoujo genre.

But I can't help it. I really am attracted to beautiful art style.
It's not my fault most of them I came across are shoujos.
And one of them happens to be Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet.

Ohno Fumi is a poor 2nd year high school student. Because of her father's debts, she's kicked out of her own home and has to rely on her own connections to survive. Thus begins her life as a live-in housekeeper for a reclusive writer. 

If you're a shoujo fan like me, you might realize that the art style is very similar to this:

Hirunaka no Ryuusei

15-year-old country girl, Suzume Yosano, has to move to Tokyo to live with her uncle due to her father's transfer. She bumps into a mysterious man who ends up taking her to her uncle's place after she gets lost. Turns out, Suzume will be seeing him a lot more often once she starts school because... he's her homeroom teacher!?

That's because they're of the same author/artist, Yamamori Mika.
If you haven't read either one of it, I highly suggest you do.
Besides the beautiful art, the storyline is superb.
I have to be honest, my bias will always be the male character with black/dark hair.
I just love dark haired characters. So sexy ♥.
So if you're like me, you'll adore both mangas.

Anyways, Hirunaka no Ryuusei 's plot twist is really something for me.
I didn't expect it at all.
However this manga is completed so I won't be discussing too much about it.

Back to Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet, I love both the main characters.
It has a realistic plot so it's not cringe-worthy.
The comedy, mix with the romance is just right.
It's actually quite a new manga that was released just last year,
and it's ongoing with a new chapter just out today.

As much as I want to discuss about the new chapter, I don't want this post to be too lengthy.
So Readers, do check both mangas out.
Yamamori sensei's work is one of my favourites;
And there's actually another manga by sensei that I really love.
But I'll recommend that in another post. So...

Till then!

Manhwa Recommendation: Bastard

Welcome back Readers!
I gotta be honest with you, I was about to post another shoujo recommendation.
But then life's more than just romance♥,
and there's always bastards around to ruin your life.

Yeap, Bastards.
Hence, I figured to take a total 180 degree change for today's post.
Rather than just manga, have you read manhwa?
Just like the Japanese comic, manhwa is Korean comic.
However, the Manhwa I've read so far are all coloured.
So I figured all Manhwa are? (Do correct me if I'm wrong.)

Anyways, back to this recommendation.
Bastard falls in the horror and psychological genre.
Out of all other manga and manhwa I've come across, Bastard's storyline is hella dark.
And let me tell you, the art and the storyline is just superb.

I wasn't able to find a very good summary of Bastard, since it's only a one liner.
Not joking.

So I thought I would come up with my own summary.
However, I just couldn't. I couldn't do it without actually spoiling the suspense.
The writer, Hwang Youngchan, actually has his reasons in doing so.
Although it might not pique your interest if you saw this manhwa at first (guilty),
Readers, in all seriousness, do read this.
You won't regret it.

There's a serial killer in my house!

Yeap, that's the summary you'll get everywhere.
Still not convinced?
Wait for it...

If Bastard is not to your liking (because it's creepy AF), no worries!
I'll post more manga/manhwa of other genres.

Don't look behind.

Till then!

Shoujo Recommendation: Watashi ga Motete Dousunda

Welcome back Readers!
I was caught up with something called life.
So this post is up a little later than usual.
But heck, it's not gonna stop me from finding interesting manga for you ♥
Down to business,...

Firstly, if you're here it means:
1) You're an otaku
2) Not a die hard otaku but still lovin' that anime and manga
3) You just stumble to this blog and went "What the f--
But either ways, option 1 and 2 is highly possible.
And why did I bring this up?

Because, my dear readers, this manga will resonate with us and our inner otaku-ness
Well, more if you're a Fujoshi (I'm not that crazy about BL, but hey, if it's shoujo, why not?)
Watashi ga Motete Dousunda is also known as Boys, please kiss Him instead of me.

Serinuma Kae is a chubby second-year high schooler and an avid fujoshi who secretly ships her classmates, Igarashi-kun and Nanashima-kun. The death of her favorite anime character causes her to become stressed--and loses weight rapidly. Now that Serinuma has became an attractive girl to her classmates, her snarky kouhai Shinomiya-kun, and her senpai Mutsumi, how is she going to deal with them...with her constant BL-filled, fujoshi mind?! 

I got dibs on the senpai at the bottom left.

It's a hilarious Reverse Harem manga.
And apparently (I just found this out while I googled for the image above)
It will be getting an anime adaptation!
Sadly, it comes out during Fall season, not this Summer.

Well, that aside.
The only thing that's bothering me is the first chapter.
How could she turned from:

Just from getting depressed that her anime crush died

But hey, who am I to question the logic of anime?
It's still entertaining and since it involves an otaku main character,
you can see loads of crossovers like these:

How dare she dream about my Levi... but that costume tho.

So my fellow otakus, fujoshis, shoujo lovers and those who-just-wants-to-read-manga;
enough reading this and just search up this manga, so I can say:
Happy Reading!

Till then
