Death Note: Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases

I am currently three fourth through this book.

There are some hilarious bits in there, I'm telling you.
However the third murder creeped me out; more easily so because I am alone in my house... and the sun has already moved on... no, that's not right - this part of the globe had spun away from it.
I mean, seriously. It had me visualise a certain scene that scared me a little - a corpse lying on its back in a middle of a room full of stuffed animals (plus two voodoo dolls) with its left arm and right leg completely cut off from its body - the leg was dumped into the bathroom of the house, and the arm was taken away by the murderer, namely Beyond Birthday.
It would've been totally fine if it was still daylight, however it is not. And I am alone. :) In the house, anyhow.

Most of the funny scenes involves L in some way - you know how he is!

Also, Mello does a fine job at narrating the story! Although I wonder when the heck he wrote this thing... it must've been after the Kira case, after L died, but it must also be after Mello died, but the narrator is Melllo! And Mello is saying that Kira should read this, and that he might be the second to read it after Near does... which means that Light is still alive. But what make the least sense is that Mello had talked about his own death!
...it really makes no sense. Who knows, maybe all will be revealed at the end... :3

Anyhow, it's a good book, I guess.

The humour is nice. :3 I like humour.

Reading about L bring tears to my eyes.... :P

The Question is; Would There be an End to Noblesee's Awesomeness!?? Nope, Apparently Not...

This week's chapter was just released today, Noblesse Chapter 233; go read it at EG Scans, or go to MangaFox if you wish. :3

I laughed my head off this chapter; the end was just hilarious. xD
All hail the authors!!

However we've all faced several cliffhangers for a few weeks in a row already...
Man, this is quite painful.

And Noblesse just had to be so awesome. :P

Well, that's all.

I'm in a good mood since there's no school tomorrow, because of ANZAC Day (It's an Australian Public Holiday...). ><

BAKUMANNNNNNNN!!!!!!!! I Bid You Farewell.

Waahhh!!! TTOTT

It ended.
The chapter that came out today along with most other Jump manga, that was the last chapter of Bakuman. T^T

Sorry, I'm at a lost for words.

The [Manga] World is Ending - It's CHANGING!!! New Generation!!! Gyaaaaahhhhh!!!

Pure exaggeration. ==

You see, two of my favourite series seems to be hinting their near-ends with their newer chapters.
Them being Bakuman and Detective Conan.

Bakuman is alright, since it's not that long, but I've been watching and reading Detective Conan since I was 6-freakin'-years-old!!!
And now it looks like it's actually ending!? Wtf!?? Maybe it's just my imagination, but, Shinichi already confessed his love, and there are lots of new characters that seems so very suspicious, so all that is left is the defeat of the Black Organisation, followed by Conan turning back into Shinichi, then Shinichi... confesses his real identity (or not, if he got the antidote back).
Oh, well... I'm ranting for no reason. Aoyama Gosho-sensei-sama can end DC if he wishes... just end it good! Don't ruin a 800-chapters-long series!
*People on the internet are saying that he should end the series on Chapter 1000... :3 That'd be really cool.*

It's almost certain now that Bakuman is going to end either next chapter or the chapter after - some time very soon. Since it's... time. All complications have been resolved, the main characters are all happy... *sigh*
Plus, if they aren't doing so it'll be a bit weird, because of various factors involving the storyline in Bakuman, and what the main characters said like "we should be allowed to end our series when we want", "it's the quality, not the quantity", etc....
Foreshadowing the ending much. Hey, who knows, maybe they used that to indirectly shout into the Editorial's Department's faces? 8D LOL.

Aaah... I'm crying. After Mahou Sensei Negima!, here goes Bakuman, and probably Detective Conan...

OT 79: The Same, As Funny as Evaaaa~ x'D

This chapter was a filler, not that I mind fillers, especially fillers like this one.

I like it more than non-fillers actually!!!
Because they are more funny and Kenkawa is cool!
And he'd usually only appear in fillers since he's not attending Midorigaoka.

I heard that next chapter there's going to be some Takaomi x Mafuyu romance, so I'm looking forward to it!!
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

:3 LOL, fangirl scream.

Detective Conan Chapter 812

New arc~

What caught me straight away was the appearance of Kudo Yuusaku, who happened to be one of my favourite characters~!!! xDD
Although it was only a flashback... T^T
The parents are really awesome. They should appear more...

This case looks interesting, too, unlike the last case where I sort of had to push myself to read.
...I might have not read it if it weren't for the Haibara x Subaru scenes everyone on the forums were hyping over. >.>

Andddddd, god dammmmiittt!!! I just read some spoilers!!
And they're big spoilers!
Maybe I shouldn't have read them!!
Dear the ones who read this series, what I came across was that Subaru will find out Conan's true identity in the next chapterrr~!! !!!

Anyhow, it was a good chapter, better than some of the newer ones. :)

Although I don't like the new art style, but I guess it's alright...

"Gyaahhh!" I Screamed as I Saw That Noblesse Got Updated

Not many series can make me enter fangirl mode, as I don't particular like being grouped up as a fangirl, since I'm not that extreme (and when you think "faingirl" you immediately think "extreme")... :/ ...I don't think...

Most epic it was, Noblesse Chapter 321.
The good guys pawned all. :) What we allll loooove to see~

So, Fake vs. Real, which would win? The Real of course!!! It's been a while since Seira showed her epicity... she doesn't get in action much. :/ And she only got a little this time round, too...

And the next chapter looks even more interesting!!! Franky is going to kill all of them! Well, maybe not kill since he sorts of needed the information from those people, but... there's no wayyyy that he'll lose!!

Noblesse 230: Cliffhangers Results in a Most Suffered Week For Fans... However That Does Not Include Me

...because I am a patient person. :) xP

Plus, there's really nothing I can do about it, you know?
(Okay. I just got a really strong sense of deja vu. I think I've wrote something similar to this post before...? Maybe...)

Last chapter ended with a seriously agony-inducing cliffhanger. I congratulate you, authors-nim.
Finally after like, what, 4-5 chapters?, the two main badass overpowered characters get to the scene of the battle... And that's my words. Exactly. They get to the scene of the battle just right at the very last panel of the chapter. =="
To me, seeing those two pawn every living being there is something worth living for. :3 ...maybe...

Well, I'm sure that next chapter will be a good one, because I like it when the peoples asked W questions. Then they'll probably fight the next or next after next chapter...
Noblesse moves a little slowly, really... :/

Oresama Teacher 77: You Are the Prince

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!

I do NOT like cliffhangers!
And I'm sure no nobody else does either!!

And the cliffhanger just then was a really good one! As in, the timing was very good... for the author, I mean...

So then!
This chapter was good, like usual.
Mafuyu-Natsuo, being as baddass as she/he is, managed to break through thousands of guys to the top floor to save Kanon-chan~! xD

And I sort of like that Nogami-dude, the Banchou of Kiyama. x)

Nowwwwww, come soooon, next chapter~!
Fight-o, Panda-sama!


Bleach 486: The Prelude to the New War

No, that's not the chapter title either.
And it's more like the first part of the "Prelude to the New War", actually, since only so much can happen in one 18-page-long chapter. :/

And I'm very excited!
Although I don't really love the new art development, it's still good, I guess.
The plot right now is great though! 8D

And Urahara appears too! Nothing like the appearance of your favourite character to cheer you up!
And Byakuya spoke more than usual! And he wasn't just talking to make himself look badass and cool either; he was actually saying something nice (and really meaningful, at that) for once!

I really really pity Sasakibe... :/ He's a really really pitiful guy...
I mean, come on! He gets the most screentime and gets talked about the most after he'd already died! And even his information was withheld until now, his freakin' funeral!
What a pitiful guy...

Pesche was also funny and I really enjoy reading Nel in her chibi form 'cause she's adorable.
Renji and Byakuya are cool, Urahara is awesome.
Ishida wasn't being annoying and is acting all cool. ><
Not too much Orihime, gladly. (She only got a quick shot in, no dialog~ Yahh~)

Overall, good chapter. :3

OT 76: Badass-ness and Total Epicity

Oresama Teacher Chapter 76 was released the day before. =^=

Ohhhhh, it was EPIC!
All of them teaming up to go rescue Kanon-chan! (Even though she's the enemy... ah, that's the Disciplinary Club for you...)
One very badass team that is made up of Mafuyu-Natsuo, Banchou, Hayasaka, Shinobu and Ayaben!!
Now we just need Takaomi, but if he appears... he'd probably just pawn everyone, so maybe that wouldn't work... :/ And he can barely get involved without getting in trouble, being a teacher and all.

The idiocy and stupidity mixes with baddassity, epicity, and coolness...

It's still in the "serious stage", so we'll probably get to see a very awesome chapter next release from Panda-sama. :3
Yes, full of epicity and all.
Just so you know, epicity is not a word. ><

After they rescue Kanon-chan and yet gains another not-quite-enemy, the Student Council will strike again!, and it's the same cycle all over again. :3 I don't dislike that though. x)

Although I would like to say that I want to see more Takaomi!!

Likes comedy? Enjoys action? Not too big on romance, but likes it too? Loves strong female leads?
Try reading Oresama Teacher!

Bakuman 173: The Way to the End


Just so you know, Bakuman Chapter 173 is not called The Way to the End.
If you read Bakuman, you'd realised that all of their chapter titles are "something and something", so it's a word, then the word "and", plus another word. x)

However, this chapter very definitely marked a big... event in Bakuman. Humongous, even. Yes, very, very much so.
All the tension that has been built up for the past couple of chapters, now resolved very nicely in this chapter...
Aah... Bakuman; a great series.

And it looks like it will be ending very soon... with the event that had happened in the last chapter and all.
(No spoilers! xD Go read it if you want to know.)
I feel like crying, after Mahou Sensei Negima!, here goes Bakuman... I can just tell that it will end soon, or at least not forever! (Well, of course it won't go on for forever, with the mangaka stating through their main character that "quality is over quantity", saying that they'd prefer to write a really good shorter manga than a bad series that goes on forever.)

Ahh... I hope you'll be... happy, the characters that had achieved something great from this event... :3
Yes, continue to do so.

And now Ashirogi Muto just needs to.................

Oh, no spoilers. =^=

If you haven't already tried it and dislike it, GO FREAKIN' READ IT NOW!!!

Bleach Chapter 485

The big build-up to the arc had finally reached a very climatic peak!!

I'm so very excited! >O<
Those mysterious new villains appears, kills off a bunch of shinigamis by sneaking into Seireitei unnoticed using some mysterious power, then declare war against Soul Society...

Baddass godly. xD

And here are the returns of the Arrancars!
Everyone is now just patiently waiting for Grimmjow to make an appearance, since Tite Kubo had said that he would appear in this final arc of Bleach...
...that so far seems very, very exciting, by the way. :)

The Bleach forum had been on an excited buzz ever since the Fullbring arc ended, introducing a new arc, in which is ultimately the final arc of the series. Approximately 10 pages of extra supplement were also published just for the sake of this new arc, which probably hyped up a lot of people, including me. :)
It was very good seeing the Visoreds reinstated as Captains, as I'm sure I have stated before.

A bunch of new characters will appear, including the mysterious Squad Zero that everyone is curiously about, but I think most people will be really happy to see Grimmjow reappear after that cliffhanger in the Hueco Mundo arc. ;)

I liked the way Nel made an entrance this chapter, too. xD
"Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
De ja vu anyone? =^=

Now then, let's see what will be coming next week...

Skip Beat! Chapter 168

Finally, I got to read this chapter after putting it off for a bit.

That shower scene had me cracked-up laughing. >O<

But the first thing I'd like to voice is how much the art has improved. It's more clear and draw more... abstract now, which is something I like. ^^ The chibi-versions have always been my favourite part of the mangaka's art style, and there happened to be quite the amount in this chapter's, and the background was drawn quite well, too.

Maybe it's just me, but the scans this chapter seems to be better than usual, too. :)

After all, good chapter, a relax from the Cain Heel arc and going back to Kyouko acting...
Looking forward to the next chapter now.
I also need to re-read the Cain Heel arc over again, since it's hard for me to make sense of things when there's a big gap between chapters. ><

Yumekui Merry: Simply a Very Awesome Manga

Aaah... Chapter 44...

The Big Bad of the series finally gets revealed. >.>
Now what's going to happen!?
WHYYY!??
Like Kuroshitsuji and Pandora Hearts, Yumekui Merry is freakin' MONTHLY serialised!!! TOT

Kuroshitsuji's AWESOME New Arc

Waaah! Wah wah wah!! I loveS it! xDD

We get to see Ciel in a school uniform! xD Going to a boarding school for the high class!
Trying to investigate while pretending to be a normal kid!

I loveS it!!!!!!

Too bad it's not a co-ed school where Lizzy and come in. But meh.

I also like the Harry Potter-like setting, although it does feel a bit weird... it feels a bit unoriginal, you know? But it's still cool either way, I don't really care. :3

Nice appearance at the end there too, Sebbie.

Don't Expect Much

I have so many things to rant on about, but I just can't be stuffed to put them into friggin' English sentences.

First of all, I want to mention the greatness that is Bakuman, and its new exciting developments.
Second, have a continuation of that complaint about a certain waitress since more annoying things occurred.
Third, depict more of my depressing thoughts.
Fourth, finish up all of those "drafts" and just publish them already.
Fifth, give Noblesse, Bakuman and Oresama Teacher an overview like I did for Pandora Hearts here.
Sixth, commit suicide... :D

I don't think I'll ever get to do six though... :/

NONONONONONONONONONONONONO!!

Misleading post title, that.

Did you think I was screaming in... horror? Fear? Depression? Stress? etc?

Nooooo! It was from excitement!
I thought that it was about time I make at least one positive post.... I will try my best not to mention suicide, death, life, depression, etc in this post.
...Oops. I just did. :P My bad.

Anyways, there's a manga called Nononono.
The name sounded quite cute, so I checked it out.

Despite some of the vague comments from the forums that Nononono is DARK, I read it anyway. :P

AND DAMN, DID IT NOT GIVE ME A SHOCK.
It was already marked as "Mature", but I ignored it since some of the other mangas out there that were also marked "Mature" aren't actually that bad...
For example, Mahou Sensei Negima!. For a while there, I actually totally forgot that Mahout Sensei Negima! was an ecchi manga. == (That was the Magical World arc, where it was all action, action, action... No girls fighting, mind you.)
Oh wait... I can't say that for the second last chapter though. That was quite... the event. Ahahaha, well, I won't mention it, but, yeah...

ANYWAY, what happened in a certain chapter of Nononono... practically borderlined hentai. Good thing that was the only scene... (okay. A lie. There are actually two, err... maybe a couple more?) ...that was that bad. :/
Meh, it was actually alright for me (I think so... not really sure... actually, it may just be that I don't really care) to read, but the event itself may have been a little too strong... Well, yes, I know that it was marked as Mature and all, but that could actually be considered hentai!!!

Then again, the series as a whole is actually very good.
A strange love triangle... although the series isn't really "Romance"...

Anyway, I like it. :)
And I can't wait for the next chapter.

What first caught me was the catchy sounding name, as I'd said. I saw in it the New Releases Page of MangaFox.
Then I read the summary and found it interesting. And the art looked really nice.
So then I put it in my Waiting List.
And now I've read it.

First of all, the art is really quite cute. Strangely.
It looks awkward and weird sometimes, but Nono as a girl and when they were young were drawn really cute......

Even though there are currently 128 chapters translated, and I've read them all, it only feels like I've read around 50 chapters, and it's quite weird... Maybe it's just because one event is quite long?

The scans are very good, nice and clean, good grammar....

Really nothing for me to complain about, actually...
(Well, except for that scene, but most of my dislike may be because of personal opinions... but I heard it also got a bad reaction from the readers.... Personally, I think it was quite shocking to see it actually happening...)

BAKUMAN!!!! ...Romance, Drama! Ah!

Anyone read Bakuman's new chapter yet!????

I read it several days ago and... WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Azuki x Mashiro FOREVAAAA!!!

Oh my god!! I'm so loving Bakuman! >///<

Anyone who hasn't tried it, go try it now! This is another recommendation from... Watashi-sama!

Bakuman never ceases to entertain me! Well then, that's all! xD

White is Supposed to Mean Purity or Something Similar Otherwise

Okay.

After reading this post, I was finally bothered enough to try out the New Blogger Interface.

As I clicked the button, I was suddenly overcome with... such whiteness. 
I was seriously taken aback at all the whiteness, seriously.
Apparently, this looks "clean" and "stunning/beautiful", whatever word they used on the Google Explanation Page.

I was surprised by its appearance, seeing that Ruby Mae complimented it.
Then again, I have no artistic sense and my sense of aesthetics is either weird or abnormal.

It felt... so... empty.
And emptiness is not good for someone suffering from Depression... I wouldn't think. :/
Gives me a "voided" sort of feeling. ==

It's easy to navigate around, obviously, once you remember to go the right way and click the right buttons. ==
I also like this "Create a New Post" look that I am currently on at the moment, too. ..although I think it still contains too much white. There should be some contrasting colours!! ><
I like how I won't ever scroll too far down or too far up and misses the text box. :3 (You'll know what I mean if you've used both versions. ...I think.) Very conventional.

I don't really like the new Dashboard design, however.
It's really hard to make out the different lines/links and stuff. I prefer the old one for this part, however I guess it also allows me to never miss new blog updates once I log in. ==

I like the features in the "Information/Settings" page you get directed to once you click on your blog, too.
But still, it's too much white.
Don't misunderstand what I'm saying. I don't have anything against the colour white. I quite like it, actually. It's just that it's too much of the same colour. And that makes it a bit hard to... see where things are...

Ugh. I hate explaining things that are... hard to explain. :/

And I'd just realised - the white also gives of a glare... one of that is opposite to what you'd get from staring at a page with a black background and white writing for too long and too much. It doesn't hurt your eyes as much, but I can currently see a bright strip of whiteness in front of me. :/

I prefer convenience above appearance, after all.

Oh well. I'll leave it like this for a couple more days.
If it doesn't work, I change it.

No big deal. :/
