This is what happens when you get so many ideas for posts. You end up finishing nothing. Or at least, it takes you days and weeks to finish at least one of the posts, due to the lack of focus. On top of that, if you get sidetracked by a spur-of-the-moment excitement / fangirling, you end up finishing another post instead. *points to self, and this post .___.*
I happened to read the 2nd spinoff manga chapter of Honey and Clover just yesterday, and thought that it might be a good idea to share about this sweet little chapter. It’s been more than a year since the first spin-off story was released. That story focused mainly on the marriage of Yamada’s brother, and just featured this little scene Nomiya’s heroic deed of eating and even praising Yamada’s horrendous Akane-esque cooking. This time around, Umino Chika allowed us to see more of Yamada and Nomiya’s relationship :3
After more than a volume-worth of chapters (8 chapters if I’m not mistaken), Dia is reunited with Amu!
I’m just glad this wasn’t dragged on for too long, and we see the explanation as to why she refused to recognize Amu as her owner. I wonder if there’s gonna be a surprise in the next chapter, considering the Card Suits of Amu’s Shugo Charas have now been completed. We might just see the Embryo soon, though there are still a lot about Ikuto and Utau’s past left to be revealed.
As usual, BEWARE of SPOILARZ
In behalf of Shugo Chara episode 12 (and even 13 for that matter) I bring you the latest two installments to its COOL and SPICY manga instead (I’ll just separate the two). With the recent turn of events in the anime (or the lack thereof), I think I’ll be dropping my regular blogging for Shugo Chara, at least not until something interesting kicks in, once they finally show the missing interesting bits and pieces of the manga. The animu is evilll… it turned me into an evil bunny who provides SPOILARz. >3
I actually think I’ll be better off providing spoilers instead. Might as well put my Nakayoshi into good use as I recently started subscribing to it >3

KYAA~ Tadase-kun, don’t look~!
Only a few days away before Shugo Chara volume 5 gets released… and I wonder how many of you are making the countdown for this :p I happened to read chapter 21 of the manga, which will most likely be included in this upcoming volume. And just to share some tidbits about this… It’s not really spoilerish, but might just feed the poor souls hungry for more Amuto (Amu x Ikuto) >3

Ayano actually owns a hakama! (part of her wardrobe showcased only in the manga)
I’m still on the search for the Japanese version of the Kaze no Stigma chapters, but unfortunately I can’t find any (and I’m not fortunate enough to get hold of the Dragon Age Magazine where it’s serialized). I plan to buy the tankoubon when it comes out, but I don’t think it’ll be released till months from now >< Anyways, I read two chapters of the Chinese scanlation and I really like how things are going with the manga :3 Without the Japanese version, I guess I'll be sticking to this ><
It’s been some time since I last posted about Corda (or any other stuff aside from animes for that matter)… o_o So, finally~ Made this chapter 39 summary after such a long delay
Hihara’s “love blues” still continues in this chapter, as he realizes the reason behind his odd behavior last time (Chapter 38), and finally finds the answer to his problems, with the help of Yunoki, and especially Hino.

Last time on Part I of this post, we saw the works of different mangakas take on Dragon Ball. For fun, I thought that I would showcase the original work of the mangakas alongside with their Dragon Ball tribute images.
I will show the Dragon Ball tribute piece of each mangaka first followed by their own [...]
