It Seems Like Forever!

January 21, 2009

It feels like I’ve been out of the loop for a very long time now. I just got so extremely business with the holidays, having no Internet for a month, and then having to work extra hours to pay my extremely large credit card bill due to my holiday spending. I just can’t keep up [...]

This chapter, Hierocles’ Delusion, begins with a flashback – it’s of Johnny Rayflo getting dressed in an all white outfit and a little boy, whose name is Chris, remarks how pretty the man looks in white (is this Chris the Charley we all know and love?

Understanding Yaoi and A Look at Cain

August 29, 2008

I was hanging out with Samantha checking out her manga collection (she has 2 walls, covered from top to bottom with bookshelves). I think she’s totally obsessed with manga but who can blame her!

Time to Give it Up for the Girls – Shojo Manga!

April 19, 2008

I’ve covered the genre aimed at boys, Shonen. Next up is the manga aimed at the girls, Shojo. Of course, these stories tend to be more emotional and less action-packed but that doesn’t mean they aren’t intense and won’t keep your attention. Shojo manga grab the readers’ attention in a slightly different way and it [...]

The Many Genres of Manga

April 4, 2008

There many different genres of manga. It’s like what my best friend says: picking a favorite manga genre is like picking a fav movie genre. Each genre has something different and unique about it that it’s unfair to have to pick only one as your favorite category. So, to help you and myself to decide [...]
