Summary: From DramaQueen: Tomoe Tatsumi is a freshman attending university in Tokyo. Life couldn't be better: he's living in a really nice apartment for less than most people pay for a single room. This is all thanks to Mitsugu Kurokawa: salary man, landlord, and (hopeful) lover.

It is due to Kurokawa's generosity that Tatsumi is able to live in Tokyo on such a tight budget. Kurokawa's intention is clear: to love, honor, and cherish Tatsumi until his dying days! And if big brother Souichi Tatsumi has his way - that day will come sooner than not!

For Kurokawa, progress can only be made by "challenging the impossible...." And thus, Takanaga sensei introduces us to her charming romantic comedy, Challengers!

This manga is soo cute~!! I love it so much!! > x < Challengers is a prequel to the manga, Koisuru Boukun. I love this series so much that I could die!! The art is adorable and great!

The only time he could relax completely, was when he could play squash game on the local network the school set up. He loved playing this simple game as he can forget painful times while immersed in it. It was fall. He was passing his time like this until one day, he had encounter with the school's most beautiful, refined girl, "Black Snow Princess" (Kuroyukihime), which changed his life abruptly.

This is his game form apparently and it rather suits him, don't you think?

Anyways, this anime was actually quite interesting. I usually try to escape reality by playing video games or reading manga. The art is amazing! Haruyuki is cute! The storyline has the typical pretty girl and weak kid but they totally clash. I can't wait to see what is going to happen with Haruyuki! I want the next episode to come out!

I'm in love with this anime! The father of that one kid is such a jerk! Sorry spoilers......anyways, I felt bored so I was on the hunt for new anime! :D



The art is really detailed which I don't mind. There's a manga and I'll add it to my "must read" list! The storyline is a bit different. It's amazing! I sorta cried when the old man died.......whoops! Not supposed to spoil the anime! > x <

I'm so happy that the manga got an anime! I was rooting for it! The manga is amazing and action packed! I can't remember if I did a manga recommendation on it.....oh well.



The art has it's weirdness but overall, it's decent for a shonen manga. At times, I would have problems with their eyes. I love the storyline! I don't care if it's typical! I'm enjoying every bit of it! I'm such a sucker for sports manga like this. I especially love watching the anime! I could just die happy!

Arigatou~!!

The art is to die for!!! OMG! The guys are sooo hot!!!! KYAA!! >///< See!!! Look!! The designs are just soo cool!!!! I want to draw like that!!! Sniff....sniff......the art is so beautiful, I'm going to die!!! (not literally)



The lines of the just flows. There are no flaws. The lines are so thin and it makes the pictures look delicate and beautiful. I seriously want to draw like that! I will work hard! >:)

The story is really amazing!! I'm so drawn by the different powers people possess. I'm such a sucker for fantasy stuff. Each of the characters character are so interesting and diverse. I just love Soushi! His relationship with Ririchiyo will always be in my mind. Soushi is like a dog. It's so cute!

I just love watching sport type animes. They always inspire me! Plus they are always entertaining. As always, different animes bring something different. At times some of them have the same things. Some parts of this anime remind of Eyeshield 21. Other than that, I enjoyed watching this anime.

The art is really good! I love it!

Here are other animes that I watched that you might enjoy!

Manga Recommendation: Eyeshield 21

Sorry for not posting as often.......I'm either busy or just extremely lazy. Anyways, I have been running out of recommendations to recommend to be honest. Well I think have alot more but........anyways! While looking for this video on youtube, I came across this anime: Eyeshield 21. I had no idea what it was and the video or song I was looking for was the ending this anime. If you are wondering what the song I was looking for, it was called Flower by Back-on. I love the Japanese Band Back-on! :D

After listening to this (I fell in love with the song), I immediately wanted to try watching this anime! I really like this anime even though it is a sport kind of shonen anime but hey, I don't really care that much on genres! As long as they are not mature animes and have great art and have a story line then I will watch it!

Summary: Sena Kobayakawa is a weak and non-assertive boy. He enters Deimon Private Senior High school. Before High school he was constantly being bullied. He was made to run errands for people using his unnaturally good running skills. He was always saved by his childhood friend Mamori Anezaki. Because he has been a go-fer since he was little, he has decided to change himself when he entered Deimon High School. Sena's running ability soon caught the eye of football captain, Yoichi Hiruma. He forces him to join the football team. Will Sena take this opportunity to change?

I really have to admit, I have misjudged this anime. I thought the art would turn out bad and the story would be poop but now watching it......I think its extremely awesome, cool and epic!!! :) I normally don't watch sport kind of animes and yeah, I'm totally hooked on it! The art is really not bad and the story is full of adventure, fun and inspiration. I actually learned something about Football!

Picture from here

Eyeshield 21 is full of really interesting characters. Just like the manga/anime Air Gear, the characters are full of energy and enthusiasm. The main character Sena kinda reminds me of Tsuna from Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Sena is weak like Tsuna and pathetic too. Well Tsuna isn't great at when it comes to athletics and school work but I think Sena is better than Tsuna. But they both have the same determination and goals. Also they both are pretty EPIC! ^_^



The one character that caught my eye was Hiruma. He has interesting character.....he is awfully mysterious because he has his ways of getting things and well he carries guns with him so he is very violent. He may seem scary but he is actually kind. I love him! He is really funny!! :D



Arigatou~!!

My review/opinion:
I really enjoy this Manga/Anime. It is full of Action, Comedy (So funny) and fun! I really love it! I never had fun with any shounen Anime/Manga before to be honest until I came across this one. Many shounens I've read/watched I smiled, laughed and sometimes cried but this one.....it was sorta unusual.....It made me laugh harder until I cried, think and smile until my mouth hurt. I just love this Manga/Anime!! It is soo good!Beware.....It may contain some mature themes....not really but nudity I think.

Anyways the manga has won the 2006 Kodansha Manga Award in the Shounen category and was praised for both dubbing (surprising....I liked the dubbing) and subbing. It was also praised for the awesome soundtracks. I really love the soundtracks! I never usually actually take notice of the soundtracks but this anime made me look into it. To be honest this anime/manga has given me some inspiration. If you have watched or read this then you would probably know why. So I'd like you to try to listen to some of the soundtracks cause they are quite catchy. You know how music in movies or shows comes in the right time? Well I sorta feel like that when I watch the anime with the sweet soundtrack in the background!

Some of the tracks are based on the song "Chain" by Back-On

How do you like them??? I know they are awesome!!!!!! (I know that you wouldn't be saying that so I'm trying to be postive here!)

Arigatou~!!!!!
