W Juliet

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been meaning to post this for a while, but I've finally finished W Juliet! After half of a year, I've finally tracked down W Juliet's final volumes!!! Yes, W Juliet was and has been the perfect manga of my dreams. That is why I've been frantic over it! In the beginning, we have Ito Miura, a tomboy, who at first glance looks like a guy. But she is actually a girl! Then, we have Makoto Amano who transfers to Sakuragaoka School, and she is a very pretty girl. But when Ito shows her around the school, she invites her over to her house. Ito has grown up in a dojo, her mother has been dead since she was little, and she has lived with her 3 brothers and dad for a long time. Makoto goes upstairs to change, and Ito accidentally barges in and discovers that Makoto is actually a guy! (Yeah, yeah, I get it, cliche...but I like it anyways.) Makoto then tells Ito his secret.

Makoto's real name is actually Makoto Narita. Ever since he was a kid, he's wanted to be an actor. But his father is the head of a dojo, and wishes for him, the only son, to become his successor. Makoto argued with him, and in the end, his father gave him a challenge. He had to go to a different school and town and ACT like he was a girl. If anyone discovered that he was a girl, he would come back to the dojo and become the successor. (NOTE: Makoto has grown up in a household with his father, mother, and his 3 sisters.)

Makoto gladly accepts the challenge, and there you go. During the first couple of the 13 volumes, Ito and Makoto fall in love. Makoto is unlike any teenage guy you'll ever find out there. Not only is he super-intelligent, super-athletic, he's also super loyal and super romantic. But then again, neither is Ito. She may not be smart, but she can do action moves that no one else can do, and she can beat up any guy (well, except for Mako). The two of them fall in love, and have to avoid everyone else from finding out Mako's secret. That, and the two of them have to fight off all of the other people who want them. Like Mako's fiancee that his father set up for him. Or the crazed female senpai who's always after Ito. Or Toki, the violent drama club veteran who chases Ito with an obsession. Or maybe Sakamoto, who is a two timer and likes both Ito and female version Makoto.

There are some other side stories including some of the people around the couple. There friends Yoshiro and Misaki become a couple. Yuto (Ito's 2nd oldest bro & the youngest of the twins) starts dating Akane (Makoto's 3rd eldest sis). Ryuya finds love with a weird Japanese loving foreign exchange student, Christine. Even love blooms for the youngest Miura sibling, Tatsuyoshi. Toki gets over Ito and a little love blooms with him and shy Nobuko. Mako's fiancee finally gives up on him, and leaves quietly after becoming a friend of Ito's. However, this happy ending doesn't become like this in a snap. The conflicts that all of these couples have to hurdle over are breath taking, hilarious, and awe grabbing.

BIG SPOILER AHEAD!!! WARNING!
And in the end, Makoto and Ito join a theatre group together and live out their dreams. To become actors and to be with each other. The pics at the end suggest that they got married, got a dog, and had a little daughter that looks just like Ito. I'm glad that Emura-sensei wrote this series! I hope that there will be more manga like this in my future! :) But for now...
~Ciao Ciao!

Gakuen Alice

     Ok, my next review will be about Gakuen Alice. I'm not just talking about the anime, I'm talking about the manga. The anime was pretty peppy and light hearted. The seiyuus portrayed their characters perfectly! (Not to mention that Akira Ishida plays Narumi!) Anyways, I've been catching up on the manga, and I'm so sad to see what has happened!!! SPOILERS BELOW.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!! WARNING!

    So far, where I am right now, Mikan has finally learned the truth about the past and what happened to her parents. How the High School Principal (HSP) is her father's brother. The things that her mother, Yuka, has suffered. The death of her father, Izumi Yukihira, by Rei Serio a.k.a. Persona. The scheme that the Elementary School Principal (ESP) and the crimes he wishes to inflict upon the world and the academy. About the many people who love her mother, like Shiki - the MSP's descendant and heir. He has compatibility with all sorts of Alice stones. Narumi - who has always loved Yuka, even though it was a selfish love (in the manga, he finally confronts Yuka). And finally Izumi - who inspired and loved Yuka to the fullest.

Once Mikan was done watching the past (with Noda-chi's help of course), she went back to the present, and so many things changed. ESP launched an attack on the HSP and Mikan. In the end, they discovered a traitor among them and worst of all, Yuka died, protecting Narumi, because she couldn't leave him alone in the end. After that, Z appeared and I learned that Z's leader is actually one of the ESP's clones (he has that sort of Alice). But Z's leader is actually a clone from ESP's clone, so he has a weakened link to ESP. But at the same time, Hii-sama, the MSP has started to weaken and can no longer hold the school's barrier at its former strength. Shiki makes a proposal to the ESP, and he accepts all of his conditions except one. Shiki then saves the school with his barrier powers and becomes the MSP representative. Mikan is then separated from the rest of the school, forced to live in her room and can no longer go outside, except to the balcony for short periods of time to get fresh air. The only people who are allowed to visit her are Shiki, HSP, and her new friend Bear. She is also forced to meet with ESP once a week, due to the proposal. Afterwards, Natsume finally declares his undying love for her, which was really very sweet, but after everything that happened and all the backstories, I felt like crying.

Other things happened too! Persona almost killed Nobara, but was saved at the last minute by Subaru Imai. Subaru was being controlled by Luna, but Hotaru saved him as well, because of Yuka's Alice stone that was inserted into her by Mikan. Luna has been acting strangely, I think she's regretting joining ESP. For now, that's all! But I'll be back. (Sorry for going all "Terminator" on ya.)

Fairy Tail

     Alright, my first anime review will be Fairy Tail. I don't speak ill of other manga, because I don't want to insult other fans. Okay, let's get started. Fairy Tail is a manga by Hiro Mashima. Lucy Heartfilia is a celestial spirit mage that can summon celestial spirits through gates to the Earthland. She meets Natsu Dragneel and Happy, two mages (Happy being a cat) from Fairy Tail. You see, some mages belong to mage guilds, where they do jobs and missions for money. Fairy Tail is a very powerful, popular, and somewhat crazy guild, and it's the guild that Lucy wants to join most. Then she finds out who Natsu is. He is the fire dragon slayer, nicknamed "Salamander" and Happy is a flying, talking blue cat. Natsu and Happy take Lucy to Fairy Tail, and there she meets many different friends and becomes a Fairy Tail mage.

Characs (Other than Natsu, Happy, and Lucy):
Gray Fullbuster: an ice mage that has a habit of taking off his clothes
Erza Scarlet: a mage that requips armor, clothes, and swords. She loves strawberry cake.

Minor Characs:
Levy McDonald
Gajeel Redfox
Jet
Droy
Makarov
Laxus
etc... (I could go on forever...and ever...about these characters.)

I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL ANYTHING FOR ANYBODY!!!

Sorry...

Alright, so I guess that my AMV didn't download properly. That's a downer... Anyways, I'd like to introduce this new blog! It's all about anime, manga, and AMVs, regardless if it's shonen or shojo. I'm not a big fan of hentai material though. Don't worry, I'm sure there's a lot of categories for anyone who reads this blog! I have read/watched over 70 series. Maybe even more! I haven't really counted. From the most popular shonen manga like Naruto, to the shojo manga like Ouran High School Host Club, or even to the least popular manga like Urukyu or Mugen Spiral. There is something for everyone. Ask any manga question in the comment box, I'll be glad to answer it.

My First AMV

This is my first AMV that I have made. The music is "Check Yes Juliet" By: We The Kings. The anime is Katekyo Hitman Reborn! None of this material is owned by me. This is purely for entertainment purposes. Thanks for reading my blog!
