Akaboshi

In the year of 1112, Sung Dynasty, the story is taking place. It was the time when the country became rotten thanks to corrupt’s government, a group of thieves are widely known. The chivalrous thieves “Taiten Gyoudou” is the name. It appears in the form of a careless boy named Taisho. He’s incredibly strong and easily punish bad people using his big sword.

Taitengyoudou is trying to make the world a better place. Is it possible to do so merely by using power?

I’m officially love this manga. The character of Taisho is cool and funny. He makes me laugh. I think he resembles me in some points. hua ha ha . No…not the part of strong, but the crazy personality.
And what about the art? Wow, it’s superb! Amano sensei is surely a genius.

You HAVE to read it! it’s cool.

Choku!

this is another project by rycolaa scanlation. I never thought they’d do something like this, because it’s so weird. It’s just another gag manga. It’s not their style, but here we go.

Choku is talking about a girl named Serika who has low level of social norm. Nao is her victim. She thinks that Nao is her boyfriend and always sneaks him everywhere, including to the toilet. Nao is a sweet loner. He has cute face that everytime Serika sees him, it makes her nose bleed. However, Serika’s stupid attitude invites Nao into new level of socialization. He doesn’t feel alone anymore.

I’m trying so hard to read the first chapter, but because it’s so stupid, I won’t read the rest. The main idea is that every body have someone who think of you. So, don’t bother being a loner, you have your place in this world, even though among the freak.

I just opened my file last saturday and found this manga stuck in. It seems like I’ve downloaded it long time ago. The drawing is nice and the cleaner is good (thanks to Strays). I wouldn’t mind if it’s shoujo manga anyway. Death story is not always dark, right? So, this one worth

Shinigami no Ballad

Unlike any other Shinigami (Death God), this one with code name A100.100 aka Momo is covered with white clothes and white hair. She’s supposed to take live, but she’s also delivering message from the death to their beloved ones. Doing so, Momo helps many people to grab light in their life. So, they will stand up and fight for life.

Together with her partner, a talking cat named Daniel, Momo spreads happiness to the world. what a weird shinigami, ha? Based on the novel by Keisuke Hasegawa, Asuka sensei turns it into sweet shoujo. She draws beautifully with lots of light lines showing how soft and sensitive she is. The story is already made into dorama, too. Unfortunately, I haven’t watch it yet but I know Take chan contribute in that.

Onimusha: Night of Genesis

The story takes us back in time of Nobunaga, Hideyoshi and Tokugawa era. People strived for the top using many kinds of word. It was believed that human’s strength is no longer sufficient to get power. Genma, the demons, are used as tool to win the battle. They’re mean and heartless. The priests controled Genma as assigned from the higher ups.

Those who fight Genma are called onimusha. They have extraordinary power to vanish the evil spirits.

Onimusha is a great manga, we can recall many historical celebrities such as Tokugawa Ieyasu, Hattori Hanzo, Juubei Yagyu, Mushashi (Miyamoto) and many more. You’ll love it. The art is beautiful and clear.

Bad spirits and dark magic have been rooting since long time ago, long before we became pitechan tropus erectus. And like the other evil practice (like prostitution and gambling), it continues to operate. But, now they have different names on each.

It’s hard to imagine that war require as many as possible participant, whether it is human or not. To strive for power, Nobunaga, Hideyoshi and Tokugawa fought a lot. I heard that magical practice is necessary. Shaman (magical priest) must be a good career back then.

Talking about Shaman (magic priest), there is a well known priest character called Abe no Seimei who had great power of predicting future, and also manipulating creatures around him. His power was used to help the kingdom. I believe this character has been shown in some other mangas.

maou-juvenile remix

Ando is a very weird boy. He thinks too much and sometimes that thought spit out unconsciously. He had the experience of being different and isolated, that’s why he started to strain himself. No attracting other’s attention, try to be as low profile as he could, Ando thought he can live his high school life peacefully. But, whenever someone bullied, his heart beats so fast. He has this inner conflict and it pulls out his supernatural power. He has the power of ventriloquism that he can turn his thought into words by the mean of someone else’s mouth. Being assertive is not easy. I think that’s the whole reason why people get bullied. Because they lack the ability to fight back. Is that kind of life is a life? Fighting is the proof of living. I quote it from the song in Tenimyu Dream Live 4th. Everybody is given the same right to lead their happiness. But, that goal must be fought to. You create your own future. If you just leave it to the fate, then you’re similar with the leaf blew away from tree: powerless and victimized. Are going to be victim when you have the same right with everyone around?

Persona 3

On midnight, when dark falls deeply and covers the world, the darkness turn into beast and eat human. However, the creatures are invincible to us. But, there are people lived with special ability to see the changes in darkness. Those people have power to pull out their greatest shadow (persona) as the weapon to fight evil spirits.
Arisato Minato, a cool careless guy, never really understands it first. He could walk ignoring many things. But, when the organization invites him to join the combat, it takes time to pull out his persona. Together with other team member, he has to fight those monsters he never saw before.

This is a typical game manga. I’m not a gamer, but I bet it’s going to be fun to play it.
