FAIRY TAIL – 200

In this chapter, we finally see the meaning of its title. As Fairy Tail celebrates the return of the long-lost Lisanna, the male members get into a fight again and the three cats forge a new friendship! On the other hand, Luvia appears to have underwent yet another makeover, this time returning to her hair-curled-up-at-the-ends former self (noooooo~).

Anyhow, it seems that we have yet another group of people who are plotting – again – Fairy Tail’s demise. A big fight between the guild and the government itself is set to unfold, though I think that would not be happening in the immediate future. Looking at the new members of the Council, though, I can’t seem to have high expectations of their abilities, try as I might. The fact that the author pays less attention to their character designs does not help either.

And then we see – I don’t believe it – Ryoshi Morino from Ookami-san to Shichinin to Nakamatachi???? Nah, sorry to get your hopes up high (did I?) but the new character did look like him in the first page, with his eyes covered and all. Anyway in this chapter we get to see his frightening powers: the ability to take life. He appears to know Natsu, so does that mean he is a dragon slayer, too?

Looking at your typical manga/anime villain, I can only think of a few reasons for this guy’s appearance: 1) He has a vendetta with Natsu (hence his emo look), 2) he is a evil crony (can’t really tell, though), 3) he is gay yaoi (“I want to hurry up and see you, Natsu.”).

All answers will be revealed in the next few chapters (I hope), so let’s stay tuned!

Gundam SEED New Theatrical Version – Preface

A typical morning peak hour on board a train in Tokyo-3.

It is all going to end. At last.

Gundam SEED New Theatrical Version – Introduction

I enjoy watching anime, you probably would have guessed by now. One of my favourite genres is mecha, and it is here that I bring you my first fanfiction prose: a Gundam SEED and Evangelion crossover!

Looking at the Gundams and the devastating superweapons of the Gundam SEED series, I’ve always wondered to myself whether they would be able to even inflict a scratch on the near-invulnerable Angels of Evangelion. After I’ve indulged in my fantasies of Gundam vs Angel fights for so long, I’ve come up with this.

The story takes place in the Orb space colony of Heliopolis. Everyone who’ve watched Gundam SEED knows what happens here, but in this story I’ve added more stuff, so read on to find out more. Anyway, it will be about the destructive nature of war, how mankind’s selfish actions will lead to his demise (sounds cliche, but you know what I mean), and how children will always be one of the many victims of war and conflict.

The first few chapters will be uploaded shortly, so stay tuned!

Anything else I can read here?

I like to write, which is why I started this site in the first place. But if I’m just going to talk about manga every week things are bound to get boring.

So I decided to start telling stories. I started out with fanfiction almost two years ago, though eventually I began to culminate my own ideas for my own prose. I will be posting them here, as regularly as I can, and you might want to take a look at them, and even comment.

Anyhow, I will be posting my fanfiction chapters here first, because I haven’t got round to writing original prose yet. You may also view the stories at this site, under the same titles.

Cheers, and have fun readin!

FAIRY TAIL – 199

It looks like somewhere throughout the 199 chapters somebody had phoenix-downed Lisanna, sister of Mirajane and Elfman, thereby allowing her return on the one hundred and ninety-ninth chapter! In actual fact, however, she was not even dead in the first place; she was merely snagged into the ‘other world’ through one of the hundred or so little Animas that have sprouted out all over the world.

The chapter ends with a joyous reconciliation between the three siblings, though the title of the next chapter is rather foreboding: That Which Extinguishes Life. Probably the appearance of yet another megalomaniac enemy, but you never know, what with all the plot twists throughout the entire story - Anyone still remember Natsu’s first appearance in Chapter 1? -

There isn’t much I can say regarding this chapter, though, because action is virtually non-existent. Nevertheless, it was a heartwarming ending (or maybe there are more chapters, you’d never know) to the Edolas arc by Hiro Mashima, with both Edolas weaned off their dependence on magic and the resurrection of a side character. The next arc is most probably set to start next week, so do keep a look out!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn! – 305

LIMIT BREAK - SUNSHINE COUNTER!!!

As I’d expected, Ryohei’s arm bangle is some sort of Limit Break gauge (think Final Fantasy VII) which fills up as he takes damage, just like in the game. Only thing is, he can unleash his Limit even if the gauge’s not filled up, albeit at various power levels which is proportional to how much the gauge is loaded.

A Limit Break/Overdrive in any FF game is crucial in turning the tide of battles, but in this chapter we, unfortunately, see otherwise. The thing about shounen manga is this – everytime you see the protagonist getting confident it means that something is awfully wrong. And would you have it – Kouyou does not wear his glasses!

Even after two Limit Breaks by Ryohei I’m sad to say that Kouyou appears to be rather unscathed (his face is still unblemished, damn it). I had been hoping to see him spitting blood, in the very least, but I think my expectations of Ryohei were a bit on the high side. Anyway, Kouyou’s glasses appear to be some sort of limiter; now that they are gone his full fury is being unleashed.

Is Kouyou’s the Cyclops of Hitman Reborn? Will Ryohei survive the fight? (This being shounen manga, he definitely will, I am 99.9% sure). Maybe we will see more exciting Limit Breaks by yours truly. Until then!

the sky is blue!

Wahahaha I don’t believe it I am actually blogging with just four more days to the exams. Anyway as you can see here that this site is still rather bare (nude) but don’t worry I will be spicing it up with some hot stuff!
