Paradise Kiss

Hello Long time no see, sooo sorry for that : (

Today I'll talk about Paradise Kiss maybe you've already heard of the manga/anime but howerver I'll tell you now if you have'nt. Paradise Kiss I've seen alot on different websites but it never really caught my interest, but now it has. the author/artist is Ai Yazawa. I love the opening but laughed when I saw the video. The song is really good but the video was just... I don't now I guess it's what they call kawaii in Japan. I like the details in the anime, some of them are very detailed and the maker of Nana has made Paradise Kiss too. Nana I have'nt talked about before but it's one of the most popular manga/animes ever made. I will probably write a post about Nana sometime. Paradise Kiss is about a typical japanese schoolgirl who get's involved in a very alternative designer group. A lovestory envolves between the head designer George and the maincharacter Yukari.The name Paradise Kiss is what the designer groups coming brand's called . It's a very cute manga and I like the drawing style. I have'nt read the Manga. Unfortuneately I made the same mistake again and started watching the anime before reading the manga, but sometimes I just don't have the energy to do so. well everyone I really like this anime and have'nt finished it, but I will in a day or so probably and I recommend you all to watch it with me. I watch the anime here and you can read the manga here.
About the Manga
Yukari wants nothing more than to make her parents happy by studying hard and getting into a good college. One afternoon, however, she is kidnapped by a group of self-styled fashionistas calling themselves "Paradise Kiss." Yukari suddenly finds herself flung into the roller-coaster life of the fashion world, guided by George, art-snob extraordinaire. In a glamorous makeover of body, mind and soul, she is turned from a hapless bookworm into her friends22 own exclusive clothing model.
About the Anime
Yukari is a typical high-school student who listens to her parents and attends school everyday. As she starts to question her way of life, she encounters a group of fashion design students who has a clothing label known as "Paradise Kiss". The group needs to find a model to showcase their designs in an up-coming fashion show and decides to pick Yukari instead. Initially, Yukari was reluctant to be associated with this seemingly eccentric group, but eventually, she realises that they are really nice people. Furthermore, their passion and enthusiasm to follow their ideals and dreams make Yukari realise that she has not been enjoying her life and this motivated her to pursue her own dreams.

Here is the video for the opening song. Hate the video, it's laughable, but love the song.

You´re Beautiful

You´re Beautiful is a korean drama that´s quite famous. you´ve probably already heard of it maybe seen it too. However it's deffinetly the best drama I've watched EVER so far. It's supercute and I love music. teh story is kind of a mix up with Power and Kaikan Phrase very entertaining. If you like the manga power or Kaikhan Phrase you'll love this one, its funny too. I loooove the guy who plays Jeremy in the drama, supercute, I seriously don't know if a cuter guy exist : O However cute guys much drama music and a nun. the thing I love the most about these kind of series is that the drama, romance and comedy really come together in a good way. Its not only comedy or drama or romance all the parts just come across in their one way which makes it very honest and entertaining. this is the first time I've watched a korean drama and I must say I liked it alot. Since I can't talk either japanese or korean the language is shit the same to me. You can watch it here. I love Dramacrazy :D
About
Tae Kyung and On Yu are in search of a new member for their idol group, A.N.JELL. However, Mi Nam suffers an injury at the last moment. So Mi Nyu, his twin sister, is asked to step in for her brother. The rest of the drama follows the behind-the-scenes life of an idol group.School has started now and I've also started High School just now so maybe the posts will not come so frequently (not that they usually come frequently but you know what I mean)
SUPERCUTE? or what :O?

Naruto Link

Here you can read Naruto folks now when onemanga has closed down : O I thought you would be able to read Naruto at mangafox but unfortunately they have stopped uploading Naruto too. Mangaanimea however is still faithful! This is to all you people who can't buy Naruto in Japan and die to read the new chapters all the time.

:D

Kurozuka

Hello :D:D today I have very good news, I found a anime I LOOOOVE, Have'nt finished it but I will soon named Kurozuka. I guess you alll think i'm a bit boring who only read/watch shoujo manga and Naruto mostly but this is an anime filled with blood and action (which I also like :D). It surprised me how good it was and when I've finished the anime, which only consists of 12 episodes I will read the manga. I've mentioned before that I really like series that are well drawn. It's so boring to read a manga with ugly characters, even those who are supposed to be superhot in the story :O However supernice characters a really serious atmosphere for once xD and VAMPIRES :D! The artists name is Takashi Noguchi and the author Baku Yumemakura. You can watch it here (I do) and read it here if you'd like. It's originally an novel which was adapted to a manga and later anime xD. One thing in the anime is kind of weird their waists are seriously to thin :O Btw something I made have'nt mentioned before is that I love stories with vampires 8D! I watch True Blood, Vampire Diaries and I'm a big fan of the Twilight saga too, and I have ofcourse watched Vampire Knight, but I have'nt read much vampire manga however I plan to read Vampire Knight too. The hole sister brother love thing really disgust me so it's on hold ftm. Midnight Secretary is another manga I've read recently with vampires as its theme. I will probably write about it sometime soon.
About the Manga
Escaping from a brother who had just ascended the throne, Yoshitsune, along with his servant, comes across a house in the middle of a desolate mountain. Oddly enough, only a young woman lives there, who seems to possess a very dark and ominous past.
This long journey of more than a thousand years focuses on our main protagonist Kurou. It can be somewhat confusing at the beginning, but once you understand the plot this story can be quite entertaining.
The main thrust of the story goes like this: Kurou meets a beautiful woman by the name of Kuromitsu, and begins a relationship which transcends life and memory. Kurozuka tells the tale of a journey undertaken by immortals, and those who chase after immortality.
The majority of this story takes place many centuries in the future, after Kurou has been separated from Kuromitsu. Having lost almost all of his memories, Kurou seeks to understand why he cannot die, to rediscover his identity, and to find the woman that haunts his dreams.
About the Anime
Kuro, a 12th-century man, flees into the mountains after losing to his brother, where he meets a strange, beautiful woman named Kuromitsu. Kuro falls in love with Kuromitsu but realizes she conceals a dark secret. She is unable to die and continues to live for thousands of years as Japan evolves into a future society.BTW I hope the Naruto makers are'nt starting to show fillers now in the anime cause I hate fillers so much pray with me T_T

Mrs Imba :D now watching Kurozuka

Otomegokoro

Hello I've read alot of manga these past days and today i'll tell you all about a mnaga named Otomegokoro. It's a shoujo manga and it has only 8 chapters. I read it in an hour and I found it rather amusing. Not the best shoujo manga ever but it was fun and you can read it if you're bored sometime. It's a love triangle drama and one of the characters named Izumi made me angry all the time, but the manga ended happily. It's very kliche like mot of these shoujo manga who's got a popular boy, a weird girl and of some reason he's interested in her and you know the storya but I just find them so CUTE so I can't stop reading them. The author of this manga is Ayu Watanabe and she's also the author of 2 other mangas I'm reading but i'll talk about them some other time. You can read this supercute manga here :D.
About the Manga

Sixteen-year-old Nene Kashiwagi has undergone a transformation from a sporty girl to a chic one--or, at least, she's trying to become chic so that she can finally find love! Her efforts only gain her teasing from her (former) friend, Jun Endou. But when Nene's first attempt at finding love goes awry, Jun steps in to rescue her in the most unexpected way.

Mangafox instead of Onemanga :D

Well since Onemanga is closing down I will start to link all the manga I write about to mangafox.com . If there is any manga I've written about that you want to know where you can read it when onemanga is gone, you can just leave a comment and I'll send you a link as an answer. Mangafox is just a substitue for my favourite manga website : O I read manga on Mangafox when I can't find them on onemanga since mangafox has a lot more manga then Onemanga. However I loved onemanga and it had a better structure but mangafox is okay so :D
Have a nice evening read some manga people. the picture is a girl form Special A a manga/anime I will write about soon :D

Angel Sanctuary

Angel Sanctuary is a manga and OVA made by Yuki Kaori (maker of God child and Ludwig Kakumei also :D). It's a manga really dont feel like I have time with right now, but I want to read it. I probably have like 20 unfinished manga series right now and this one is pretty long. However I've seen the Ova which consist of only 3 episodes and I liked it a lot, but I have a problem with incest however I've mentioned it before....it's disgusting blosh, a problem I had with the story, but whatever. I really don't understand why they find it interesting sister brother relationship and so on..just feels disgusting to me. :( The theme with angels and demons I liked very much since I'm a christian and I find it interesting. The story is however not at all as christianity. I guess it's just a theme they used to base it on. Since onemanga is closing down I will now start to link to mangafox instead which I think is a little more unorganised but they have a lot more manga which is a positive thing. I will yyy to read other manga series that's not just typical shoujo manga and Angel Sanctuary belongs to the series I will start reading sometime. You can read the manga here(I'll fix the link when mangafox has fixed their problem with the server) and watch the OVA here. An OVA(original video animation) is btw an animation of something that's realesed on homevideos(before), and now on DVD OAD(original animation DVD) without being broadcasted on TV or such before.
About the Manga
The angel Alexiel loved God, but she rebelled against Heaven when she saw how disgracefully the other angels were behaving. She was finally captured, and as punishment sent to Earth to live an endless series of tragic lives. She now inhabits the body of Setsuna Mudo, a troubled teen in love with his sister Sara. Setsuna's misery mirrors the chaos among the angels, and their combined passions threaten to destroy both Heaven and Earth.
About the OVA
Mudou Setsuna, a high school student, loves his sister in a way that he shouldn't. He also struggles from supernatural powers. Angels and demons flocks to him as the day of his awakening draws near -- he is the angel Alexiel, the highest angel which fought against God, reborn.Btw I loooove the way Yuki Kaori draws manga, probably one of the best manga artists I know. The plot is kind of the same but the anime is only 3 episodes and the manga 120 chapters so... Hope you like it

Linda :D

OneManga....T_T

I'm shocked and sad but it seems that onemanga is going to delete all their manga they have scanlated because the artists in Japan don't approve of it anymore. Onemanga is atleast probably the biggest source for the manga I read who lives in Sweden, and I'm right now kind of worried about how I'm supposed to get a hold of Naruto and all the other manga drugs I have T_T I'm an manga addict. Blöööösh I'm sad right now and I hope some of the online manga reading sites that exists won't close. Onemanga will be deleting their manga step by step and says that they will be done next week.

Nobuta Wo Produce

I have'nt finished this Drama but I will still wirte about it. Nobuta wo Produce is a really cute drama about friendship and popularity. I love the idea about two guys which hate eachother work together to make a super weird girls life better. I envy her a little bit who has two best guy friends which she can do everything with : D not everything but you know what I mean T_T... It's supercute and I hope the drama ends well as it probably will. :D It's adapted from a book with the same name written by Gen Shiraiwa. you can watch the drama here :D


About the Drama

Kiritani Shuji is the popular guy who gets along with everyone, from the jerks to the nerds to the just plain weird. The one person Shuji cannot stand is Kusano Akira. To Shuji, Akira is just plain annoying. He laughs, talks and acts funny. Things heat up when a new student comes to school.
Her name is Kotani Nobuko, a girl who has no self confidence at all and is content at being made fun of and bullied in school. Shuji and Akira come to an accord that in order to make use of their "youth" they will "produce" Nobuko as the next popular girl. One of the conditions, however, is that nobody should find out that they are working together as a team to make this concept possible. Unveiled here is the story of true friendship between three unlikely candidates who would not have been friends if not given the special circumstances.
Super short trailer xD very weird also but whatever the guys are cute :D


Linda :D

Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama

Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama is the name of an anime I've started watching. I've been on a lot of trips and such, so I have'nt watched anything except Naruto this summer but when I came home I wanted to start again. Kaichou wa Maid-Sama reminds me alot of Ouran High School Host Club and Special A. It's a very funny manga, I love when it's really super crazy from time to time, like in Skip Beat. The Manga is very nice to I think and the plot is probably the same too. If you want to watch something really funny or read I recommend Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama. It's not seirous at all but hilarious, and the anime started airing this spring so there is only 16 episodes atm. If you want to watch the anime you can watch it here and if you want to read it you can read it here. The writer/artist is Fujiwara Hiro. Btw I want to say that if you're able to buy the manga I write about on the blog do that aswelll, because the artists need support :D.

About the Manga
Ayuzawa Misaki is the student council president of the former all-boy school, Seika High School. In order to protect the girls, she battles the boys everyday. On the other hand, she secretly works at a "Maid Cafe". But a popular boy from school, Usui Takumi, found out! Living in between the double identity of a Maid and a student council president~
What should we do Goshujin-sama!?

About the Anime
In a high school recently turned from all-boy to coed, Misaki Ayuzawa, chairwoman of student council, battles "stinky and dirty" male students every day to protect the few (20%) females in school. Off campus, she works hard at a maid caf? to supplement the income of her household (as well as leftover foods) after her father had deserted the family -- whose action contributed to her hatred toward males. However, Takumi Usui, a handsome guy (and a heartbreaker of many girls) accidentally found out her double identities. She thought the entire school would know by the next morning, yet he kept her secret away from others, making her even more suspicious of his motives.



Watch it :D Linda

Liar Game

Hello :D It's Summer.. kind of.. here in Sweden now, I LOOOVE it!A couple of days ago i started watching this tv serie, and I was really surprised about how incredible good it is. Its... amazing better than Zettai Kareshi and Hana Yori Dango to be honest. I have'nt watched so many dramas but this is the best so far I think. Liar Game has a very interesting theme and I love the two main characters Akiyama and Nao. Nao is idiotically honest and Akiyama is a swindler genius super duo and on top of that Akiyama is super hot ;D the Drama is originally a manga and you can read it here. It's written by Kaitani Shinobu its ongoing I think and for the moment 128 chapters long. I think the tv drama is a bit different form the manga. I will probably write something about the manga in the future since I plan to read it too. The tv drama is 2 seasons long and 20 episodes al together. there is Also a movie :D Liar game: The Final Stage.
About Tv Drama
Kanzaki Nao is an honest college student who receives a hundred million yen one day, along with a card saying she has been chosen to take part in the "Liar Game". The aim of the game is to trick the other players out of their hundred million dollars. At the end, the winner gets the hundred million and the loser is a hundred million yen in debt. The next day, she receives notification that her opponent is her former teacher, Fujisawa Kazuo. She goes to him, seeking help, but ends up getting tricked into handing her money over. Desperate, she approaches the police for help, but they are unable to do anything. However, she is told of a mastermind swindler, Akiyama Shinichi, who is to be released from jail the next day. Desperate, she goes to him for help.
About the Manga
Congratulations! You are one of the 1 in 100,000 people who have been entered in the amazing LIAR GAME TOURNAMENT! Along with the postcard there are 100 million yen in notes. That's the beginning of the Liar Game. When the game ends, in 30 days, you will have to return your 100 million. If your opponent steals them, he can keep them as a prize, and you will have a debt of 100 million...

Naruto Shippuden 3: Inheritors of the will of fire

Sorry I have'nt been that motivated to blog right now with school and all but I will try to post something more often dear readers!!
(????readers we can discuss about that, but whatever...):D


I've whatched the latest Naruto Shippuden Movie and I must say I enjoyed it a lot. It was better than the other movies and Rock Lee was in it! Rock Lee has been absent for the whole Shippuden anime and Gai too WHY?? I dont know.. but it sucks cause he's totally super awesome. I love the Rock Lee spirit! he's just awesome. However normally I don't like the Naruto movies that much mostly because of the plot who has nothing to do with the anime or manga, but the plot this time was kind of nice. I liked the whole " every ninja in the naruto generation fighting together", normally you just see some of them, but this time everyone was in the movie. Naruto Shippuden 3: Inheritors of the will of fire was very nice! This summer the next movie is realesed in Japan Naruto Shippuden 4: The Lost Tower, then Naruto will travel in time and see a lot of his fathers past (Narutos father= Namikaze Minato =4th Hokage). It sounds really fucked up to be honest, but I like the history of Konoha so far so there will probably be some interesting things in it. I would like to see the kyuubi attacking konoha etc sometime.
About
Ninjas with bloodline limits begin disappearing in all the countries and blame points toward the fire nation. By Tsunade's order, Kakashi is sacrificed to prevent an all out war. After inheriting charms left by Kakashi, Naruto fights through friends and foes to prevent his death while changing the minds of those who've inherited the will of fire.

Btw you must watch the anime right now the Pein final battle is near 8D

Naruto Fact

Hello, Today I thought I would have a different post,so why not give you some fact about Naruto as a serie? It's been ongoing for more than 10 years now, pretty amazing I think. The creator is Masashi Kishimoto. Actually Naruto began as a one shot serie Kishimoto published in a shonen magazine. Good response for the one shot serie inspired Kishimoto to create Naruto. Weekly Shōnen Jump started publishing Kishimotos serie 1999 and have been since then. Weekly Shōnen Jump is an shōnen manga anthology magazine that's being realesed every week in Japan. The chapters that's being realesed in the anthology is every three or two months realesed as comics (Every new volume of Naruto). So far 50 volumes of the Naruto serie has been realesed.Cover of the first Naruto Comic

The serie started airing as an anime in 2002 and have been since then, sometimes with fillers, to not get to close to the manga I think. I hate the Naruto fillers.
The first part of the anime is 220 episodes long and after that came Naruto Shippuden that's ongoing. I LOVE Naruto Shippuden, I think it's better than the first part, but maybe because their better at everything then? I dono. To me it feels like the first 220 was just to build up the plot to shippuden.Naruto Shippuden

A couple of movies have been made based on the story of Naruto too, but they are not related in any way to thee series you can say. They have an indipendent plot based on the manga and there are 3 movies that you can say belongs to the first part of Naruto and 3 Shippuden movies. I like them all alot, the first 3 are very cute and the shippuden movies a bit more serious but still very good, I've only seen two of them though. The latest movie premiered in August 2009. I've read that another one is coming this summer but it's not fact yet what I know.

Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow
Naruto the Movie 2: Legend of the Stone of Gelel
Naruto the Movie 3: Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom
Naruto: Shippūden the Movie
Naruto Shippūden 2: Bonds
Naruto Shippūden 3: Inheritors of the Will of Fire
Naruto has been made into OVAS ,manga,movies,novels, manga based on the movies,anime, videogames and well lot of stuff. If you're not a part of the Naruto loving group in the world start reading naruto NOW.

Read the latest Naruto chapter 491 here.

Kyō, Koi wo Hajimemasu

Hello people : D Today i'll tell you about a manga i'm reading right now, Kyō, Koi wo Hajimemasu (aka Today, I'll Start Our Love(...sounds I dono fail but the serie is really good))This manga is suupeeercute, nice, amazing, moving, I dono how two describe it. As a school life-shoujo fan I LOVE this manga, I read every realesed chapter in like two days and I'm reading the manga right now when the new chapters are realesed too. I think the drawing style Minami Kanan the creator have in this manga is super cute. It's a very kliche manga, bad boy with a gentle inside falls in love with a nerd girl and everyone becomes jealous of them and she finds his inner self and blabla you know the story, but anyway no matter how many times I read this kind of series I never get tired of doing it, cause their so good. So... click on this link here and read the manga, it's currently 45 chapters long.
About
Tsubaki is a girl who loves making her younger sister's hair pretty every morning, but she doesn't think that kind of style suits herself! The day of her High School Beginning Ceremony, after she failed in being the top student (who usually makes the ceremony speech), she finds herself sitting next to the actual top student of the first years, the worst rude guy ever, Kyouta. She ends up cutting his hair on purpose because of the bad things he says to her. Kyouta demands that Tsubaki pay him back with her body, but Tsubaki fixes his hair instead--making it even shorter! After that, Kyouta unexpectedly kisses Tsubaki and swears that he'll make her his woman.

Mr. Imba's Naruto Chapter Discussion



Oh, hello there!

It's finally time for another Naruto Chapter Discussion!

I recently read the new Naruto chapter, 490, and I must say.. Naruto is really getting exciting again! I was quite worried I'd lose interest a couple of chapters ago because of Naruto's damn whining about bringing Sasuke back. But it seems now that he is determined to fight him, even if it leads to the death of not only Sasuke, but himself. The also explained how the Kyuubi's charkas worked in more detail, I found it quite interesting even though I already knew most of it. ( I'm such a nerd.. )


I have to ask the question on everyones mind, who did Kabuto summon/resurrect? The resurrection of the whole Akatsuki didn't seem to bug Madara one bit. But the big coffin seemed to make a great impact on him. I personally think it's either the first hokage, whom Madara fought quite some time ago. Or probably somebody close to Madara, a lover? A kid? Maybe a friend or teacher? I really hope we'll get more info soon.

I also get the feeling that Kabuto is planning to not only attack Sasuke, but also betray Madara. He was completely faithful to Orochimaru, but now that he's gone he's filled with hatred and only wants revenge. Avenging Orochimaru doesn't seem to be enough, he also want to take it out on anyone in his way.

It's getting quite thrilling, it is indeed.
