Ever wondered if Iku and Doujou ever liked something, apart from books, JUSTICE!, and each other (of course)? Well one of the extra chapters in the manga answers just that.

Hinano has pretty much summed up what the whole chunk of the latest two chapters are, so I think I’m just gonna go emo and say my thoughts over the latest revelation about Ikuto’s past.

I can no longer recall what made me stop following the Skip Beat manga yearssss ago. Oh right, I don’t think I even immersed myself into it before, which is most likely why I can’t remember the slightest of details with regards to the acting feats Kyoko undertook, or her antics with Ren. I can actually recall some bits and pieces, but not so vividly as a true fan would. But now, after yearsss I finally got back to the Skip Beat bandwagon, dragging my brother with me to the heights of Skip Beat nirvana, ohohoho (I checked and I had the raws of volumes 1-11 way back 2005, never been touched. imagine that T__T) Just for the record, my brother is not like Impz who can tolerate and stomach quite a lot of shoujo works. He hates Marmalade Boy to the core, same with ItaKiss which he deems to lack development. Then we also ended up having an argument about Saiunkoku where I had to defend Shuurei with all my might but failed to convince him nonetheless. So yeah, I think you can see a bit of his standards of a good manga / anime.

This is like almost 2 months late, and what I’ll be covering in this chapter came out in volume 7, which has already been reviewed by Hinano (which I lament on not being able to comment on ).

First off, thanks to ShiningNinja for giving me the heads up on this one (and for the scans)… this was indeed such a heart-wrenching chapter. IKUTOOOoo BAWW ;______________;

Despite my long KnS-silence, I still kept myself updated with the series behind-the-blogging-scene (among the rare few KnS fans out there in the English-speaking blogosphere too). I read chapter 9 of the manga about 5 months back, then I no longer heard of any updates, until recently. Chapter 10 came out in the April 2008 issue of Dragon Age (and I only got to read it last month), much to my surprise that it marks the end of both the Misao arc, and the entire KnS manga too My hopes to see the Ignition novels in its manga form has been crushed. ;___;

But oh well, no use moping about it now. Perhaps the mangaka also found the succeeding arcs to be a trainwreck, and decided that ending the manga with the novel’s best arc would be best.

Allow me to rant first before I switch to my Shugo Chara fangurl mode.

My Nakayoshi subscription ended last last month, and I no longer renewed it because it was too costly and takes up a lot of space. Hence, I asked permission from another scanner to use her scans for the blog instead. But alas, she’s also a normal healthy girl, whose life doesn’t revolve around Shugo Chara, so she wasn’t able to scan chapter 28. To the impatient people grumbling (and even cursing) for the next chapter, I suggest you go get yourself a subscription from CDJapan. It costs 6,540yen for a 3-months subscription with air-mail shipping, and you’ll get it two or three days after its release (or even before it gets released on the market)! How good is that! Better yet, scan it for the sake of us Shugo Chara fans~

Instead of waiting impatiently for the next chapter of Shugo Chara, why don’t you guys discover the vast world out there, the tons of other mangas and animes, or well, Real Life. Do keep in mind that this is a blog, not a manga request forum. Comments are supposedly for facilitating discussion and/or random fangurl raves, not to b*tch about the next chapter. And what do you know, I have work, a life, and other animes/mangas I want to dedicate post(s) for! So please, if you’re just going to ask about the next chapter (especially in a bitchy manner), save your energies and develop the virtue of patience, and understand that I have no obligations whatsoever to do this T__T I can even choose to not talk about Shugo Chara anymore, and you are still in no position to bitch about it! And another useful tip, do subscribe through email updates or through out rss feed, so you’ll know about the site updates and be informed when I actually get to post about Shugo Chara… or not.

Ok, now that I have that out of my system, I can finally talk about this fun-filled chapter! A big thanks to ShiningNinja for providing me the first set of scans for this chapter, and also to Ri-San for pointing out where to find the HQ Shugo Chara chapter 28 scans (and a big thanks to the scanner of course, though I don’t know who she is ^^;;; )

w00t!!!

Things have now become peaceful as the Black Diamond saga has come to a close, but of course we all know that the Easter is still at large. So long as the Embryo lives, the Easter will live to search for it. Now in this chapter, we see a glimpse of the Easter’s Big Bad Boss who’s behind all the Egg hunting activities in town, addressed by the name of “Gozen”. His identity is still a mystery at this point, so I have no clue as to who this person is. I had this wild guess that this person is the Guardian’s First King, but that would seem absurd since The First K is all friendly towards Ikuto. And it’s not like Gozen is wearing a mask to conceal his identity… or is he? Oh well enough of that first Let’s allow Peach Pit to work his unveilment magic!
