Bob's shizz

Manga: Hirunaka no Ryuyseu

Genre: Shoujo

Rating: 93%

Summary: Suzume Yosano has lived deep in Japan's countryside all her life until she's forced to move to Tokyo to stay with her uncle. A new city, a new crowd, and a new tall, dark haired peculiar stranger that just happens to be her homeroom teacher... Daytime Shooting Star is about a young girl's experience of the heartbeat of first love, and the agony of what comes after

Summary (possible spoiler): This manga is seriously so good in theense that it isnt predictable. SPOILER HERE PLEASE SKIP IF YOU HAVENT READ IT. She does not end up with the first guy, like omfg. In every single shoujo manga i've read, the girl has always ended up with the original guy. Not this one. It really suprised me how the Yosano matured as the manga went on and learn alot. The main guy (i forgot his name but uh he has black hair) was not unlikable but he just did not suit her. Like, he tried to push her away at first and then suddenly wanted to get close to her and reallt confused the her. But the second guy (Mamura) was always there for her even if he seemed cold snd distant. Also he's very hot. SPOILER ENDS HERE. It's themes revolves around first love, forgivness and friendship and i absolutely adored it.

Manga: Qishi Huanxiang Ye

Genre: Fantasy

Rating: 79%

Summary: Lin is just an ordinary high school student. But on the day she transfers to a new school, she gets a video game, which sends her to the world of King Arthur. There, she meets a mysterious wizard, who tells her that her mission is to find and gather the Knights of the Round Table and find the Holy Grail.

Review: So I am trying to be more versetile with the mangas i read and share, this manga is actually not from Japan. I mean, it is in hanzi so i think it is from China. Also, judging by how it is colored it is highly possible. This manga was hilarious. I almost peed myself laughing SO many times. Lin and Author have such a interesting and comical relationship. Especially when Lin tries so hard to out smart him and how annoyed he gets with her. Other characters such as Author's father and Merlin were delightful and not neglected either. The plot is full of twists that i could never guess. Lin in reality and fantasy is very different, in the game she is bold and witty while in reality she is more shy and reserved. However i did not like how the manga was draggy and i sort of lost interest in the end, hopefully this will change soon as the chapters go on! Im done for now :) hope you guys will enjoy these mangas!

Kan's usual:

Manga: 07-Ghost

Genre: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Mystery, Supernatural

Rating: 8/10

Summary: Teased unmercifully for his past as an orphan and a slave, Teito Klein only has his best friend Mikage to ease his days at the elite Barsburg Academy, not to mention his mastery of the magical art of Zaiphon. But that would not even be enough to save him when he discovers a horrifying secret behind the ruling Empire. Being trapped in a battle between a wicked Death God and the mysterious Seven Ghosts and even guided by three priests each to their own unique-ness, Teito discovers a power that could save the world... and shed light to his own mysterious path. (Taken from the description in the Manga Rock app, and altered slightly by me)

Review (and spoilers, read at your own risk): So firstly, this anime actually caught my attention in Youtube. I would have never discovered this gem of a manga if not for the anime appearing in my Recommended section. This has its own... unique thing that caught my attention and that is the plot itself but however, I had to rewatch a few times for me to understand what's been going on. The anime's pretty rushed once it gets to the last episode, but the manga shows the usual behind-the-scenes. Too bad that it never continued to the 2nd season. :c But, I gotta admit, the completed manga shows even more than what you have seen in the anime. The plot and character development is beautiful, and the moment when they revealed Teito's real name (yes, real name) and his past with his father and his subordinates are really cute. Really like how the other Seven Ghosts' pasts are revealed as well; also shows more of Teito's character developments as well! Not to mention... something happens to him later on but I won't mention that. :> (Honestly, Teito's like that one no-emotions guy but is actually quite nice-)

-.-

Manga: Black Haze

Genre: Action, Comedy, School-life, Fantasy, Webtoon, Supernatural

Rating: 9/10

Summary: After countless of crazy-filled missions sent by his master, Rood Chrishi, the doubtful main character, finally got a serious mission and was sent to a famous magic school named Helios Academy. His mission stated that he was supposed to protect an important person's son who was having a bad time in school despite his appearance. But who knows... maybe something major will happen there as well.

Review: Omg. Despite being a fully-coloured Korean webtoon, when I had my eyes on the first chapter, I was really on the edges on my seat! The art on each chapter kept on improving, and damn, hot guys. :^) There's a few comedy (not a few, it's LOTS but worthed it :D) scenes here and there, but it's pretty much to get rid of some tension here and there. I gotta admit, this manhwa is one that people who love some adventure and fantasy along with school life! (But pls, do read it even if you're not one of them!) Rood is one guy who does not want to friend people, seriously, but that's what makes him cool I guess xD he even has a rival whom both can diss at each other whenever they meet. The manga has not ended yet, and it releases new chapters every Wed or Thurs depending on where you live! (Oh, and uh, beware of cliffhangers ;;;; I've had enough of them since the last chapter I've read) When it's reaching most-probably the last battle between Rood and demons, the chapters suddenly gives out some scenes where those people aren't actually needed so was kinda pissed over that cuz the story ain't even moving yo. But other than that, the story's pretty good! I'm so looking forward to the next chapters! Really hope you guys do read these mangas/manhwas I recommended as well! :D
