Shoujo Manga Review: Asa mo, Hiru mo, Yoru mo

I cannot seem to stop myself from reading mangas lately... @.@ The manga I finished reading is called "Asa mo, Hiru mo, Yoru mo" by Aoki Kotomi. 

The story is about Suetsugu Shinobu, a girl who was raped near the end of middle school, and Yokomizo Jun, who Shinobu thinks has the same face as the guy who raped her. Jun does not understand why Shinobu has the look of fear in her eyes and starts to cry when she sees him. Shinobu also tries to stay away from guys as much as possible, and so many people think that she just hates guys. (I can't say anymore because it would just be spoilers. >.<)

Shoujo Manga Review: Boys' Kingdom

Like I said in my post on W-Juliet, I am currently looking for mangas that make me go "doki doki" (heart thumping or heart beating fast). I happen to come across "Boys' Kingdom" by Oda Aya. The art looked okay, and it was only one volume, so I decided to give it a read. Surprisingly, I liked it a lot. I noticed some comments that it was fast paced, but I think it is more that the mangaka did not waste anytime and just went from one thing to the next. 

The story is about Himeno, a girl who is transferring to a school that used to be an all-boys school but is now co-ed. The reason she is transferring to this particular school is because her parents got divorced, and in order for her to stay in her mother's custody, she needs to be enrolled in school. However, she does not want to burden her mother with tuition fees, so Himeno obatins a scholarship at this school, which was pretty much giving away scholarships to any girl that would want to enroll to increase its female student population (of course, she does not know about that part). 

Shoujo Manga Review: W-Juliet

Over the holidays, I read some mangas that I read a long time ago, but never had the chance of finishing. The one that I remembered wanting to finish reading the most was "W-Juliet" by Emura. The story is about a boy named Narita Makoto, who wants to become an actor. However, since he is the only son in his family, he has to succeed the family's dojo. Because of his passion for acting, he agrees to the following deal set by his father: if Makoto is able to disguise himself as a girl and graduate from high school without anyone finding out, then his father will allow him to be free to pursue an acting career. 

So Makoto changes his name to Amano Makoto and transfers to a new, non-elite, high school in his 2nd year, and immediately joins that school's drama club, which is where he meets Miura Ito, a tall tomboy-ish girl who wants to become an actress in action movies. Things happen, and Ito finds out that Makoto is a boy, but promises to keep his secret. You then follow the two as they dodge obstacles and jump over hurdles as it comes their way such as rivals, fiancées, and those who want to expose Makoto's secrets.

Shoujo Manga of the Month: Tokyo Crazy Paradise

In the past couple of days, I read from start to finish the manga "Tokyo Crazy Paradise". Overall, I give it a 4.8/5. Sounds that I made while reading it: Dum dum dum!!

WARNING: THIS MANGA CONTAINS VIOLENCE AND NUDITY. YOU MUST BE MATURE TO READ IT. (I am very serious.)

Ichigo Channel~

Hey~ :D

It's been awhile since I've read manga, so I decided to read all of a shoujo manga that I haven't finished reading before called "Ichigo Channel".

The first time I read it (many many years ago ^_^"), I was only around chapter 11. This time, I read from chapter 1 to 49 in a few hours. It was really good, but I'm only going to give it 4 stars out of 5.
