How will their lives turn out to be?
Well I know I'm starting with season 2 but that's because I've actually finished season 1 in the manga itself. i had delayed on this series because truthfully, i'm not into too much drama and our main guy tends to keep bullying our heroine, although she is a little on the dumb side...well maybe really dumb.
thus due to that, i skipped on watching season 1 on video but i really enjoyed season 2 as i hadn't finished that on manga, and also, the story, although there was the usual drama and all, but what really attracted me to it was the chemistry between the leads.
they portrayed their roles to perfection and their love seemed so real. they were both so comfortable with each other. not only that, even the other casts were really good, the family, friends, doctors and nurses. no one looked fake or awkward.
joe cheng's portrayal of zhi shu was so good; a genius of iq 200, quiet without much expression and cold. sighhhh too good. ariel lin is one of my favourite actresses. and she scored even more points for me here. her portrayal of xiang qin as the naive, dumb but bubbly girl so hopelessly in love with zhi shu, hehehe mannn fabulous. she did her role really well, without letting us viewers get irritated with all her crying and shouting and all. it was actually endearing. especially her day dreams grins zhi shu was really coo with the expressionless face, but once in a while, we'd see him with tender expressions on his face when he looked at xiang qin.
i bet every girl's heart swooned then. hehehehe watching this video made me grin like silly the whole time i watched it. too bad i haven't heard anything of a season 3. they said there might not be any as they wanted to stay true to the manga. the mangaka died without completing the story, so sad. but hope she's in peace. she wrote such a great story. there's even an anime of this show.
i would definitely recommend this for anyone who's really into romantic comedies with some light drama. this drama was aired few years ago but still, there are people who are viewing it even today. you can find the whole series on youtube online, completed and english subbed. enjoy!!!

One day, when he's heading home, a nearby pay phone rings, and he picks it up. The only thing he hears however is his own voice echoing. After finding a mysterious card with the word 'Psyren' printed on it, his life suddenly changes as he is drawn into a crazy new world.
another manga and this is quite a good one. it's finally completed and i'm a little sad that it ended so soon. well 145 chapters is quite a lot though, but i had hoped it would continue. the ending was nice, but i wasn't like wowed or anything by it. the plot can be quite complicating but as the series progresses, you'll slowly start to understand. the art is great and there's so much humor despite all the action in it. there's also some romance which is a big big plus for me hehehehehe it's one of my favourites in my top ten manga together with 'from far away'. love that latter a lot too hehe
well you can find this series in mangafox and mangareader and it's complete! so you won't have to keep waiting for updates and all. enjoy^_^

Fairy Cube (manga)

This pair of wings, his father scars to prevent him from flying away as his wife, Ian s mother left father and son. In the city he is in, a number of grisly murders occur. These murders are known as the Fairy Murders as the victims have backs slit open, with blood pouring out in the shape of a butterfly s wings. Ian s childhood friend returns and Tokage gets him into trouble, and slowly Ian begins to unravel the past and realise who he is, and solve the Fairy Murders.
at first, i thought that this was just a fluffy manga so i wasn't really bothered to read it. it also didn't help that it was only 18 chapters long which was a little short for me. but one day, to pass time, i decided to go ahead and read it and surprisingly enjoyed. i won't really say it's excellent but for a manga of that length, i think it's good.
the art is great. and the story could have been even better if it had been longer with more details. but still, it had almost everything that i enjoy-comedy, action, fantasy, romance. the ending was ok for me as i was hoping for a little more. overall, it's a good read to pass your time if you've got nothing to do online. you can find it on mangareader and it's complete. enjoy

King of Thorns (manga)

This is actually quite good. i had been skipping it before as the art was so-so personally in my opinion. but there are times where it was good. but the story, although confusing was good. such imagination and flair for drawing, kudos to them.
Two twins, Kasumi and her sister, Shizuku, were infected with the medusa virus, which slowly turns the victim to stone. but only kasumi was selected to go into a frozen state with 159 others until a cure was found. in the undetermined future, kasumi and the others awaken to a world with   cnvnmbvvvnviolent monsters. as they struggle to stay alive in the treacherous world, kasumi resolves to find her twin sister but she needs all the help she can get.
there is some light gore(not much) and some hints of romance although it's very little. but there's tons of actions and lots of questions to answer. it definitely keeps you on your toes, trying to figure out just what in hell is going on. the chapters are not so long that you'll get bored also. it ends at chapter 37. it was an okay ending i feel. of course, if there were maybe a little more on the romance part in the end, i'd have been even more satisfied, but it's not a disappointment too. i hope you guys enjoy this. it's more of a survival type of series similar to battle royale, though the latter was way better. it pulled at your heart strings.

Kotaro Makaritoru (manga)

This is one old manga that i'll never get tired of. seriously. it has everything that i could want for in a manga, maybe a little too much. action, humor, romance, great illustrations(albeit old fashioned) yum yum, the ingredients needed for mangas that i like.
Kotaro Shindo- your average perverted high school boy who lacks common sense and any inhibitions whatsoever. but there's just one thing. he's a fighting genius, a karate expert descended from a long line of ninjas. he's always getting into trouble with school officials and peeping at girls or trying to steal their panties especially Mayumi's, his childhood friend. he's protective of 3 things-his reallly long hair, his panty collection and Mayumi. This story is about his adventures.
There is some pervertness in this story, some ecchi, so some of you might be put off. but that's also what makes this story so original. the drawing, though not as good as the ones nowadays, but personally, i loved the drawings. i think it's considered good in earlier times when it just came out.
the story is quite comedic initially but as the series progresses, it gets serious. the only thing that i am not satisfied with is that it's not completeeee!!! i mean, the story has been finished by the mangaka if i'm not wrong. it's just that it hasn't been scanned online completely. same goes for its sequels, shin kotaro makaritoru and kotaro makaritoru l. i'm sooo hoping that it will get scanlated but seems like that will just remain a dream. well i read this on mangafox so you guys might wanna read it too if you have the time. i have repeated this i don't know how many times already now. that's how much i liked this manga. oh i'm just praying for some kind soul to complete the whole series. enjoy

Akaku Saku Koe (manga)

This is a manga where the art is just average in my opinion. I mean i've seen more handsome guys and pretty gals in manga. but still, this one did manage to keep up my interest. don't really know why though. hmm... maybe cos it has genres that i like such as mystery, romance, supernatural etc etc
A high school boy with such a beautiful voice, so beautiful that he can make anyone do anything just by saying something, that is Karashima. Due to this dangerous ability, he distances himself from everything. That is until he finds himself involved in criminal investigations which he can help solve and a girl named Kokubu who seems to be in love with him.
It's a short manga with only 14 chapters including 2 extras. but the feelings are quite deep. it was quite refreshing to see the girl chasing after the guy rather than vice versa. and it talks about the girl's feelings which i feel is so real. it also helps that this has action too. it wasn't like one of my favourites like 'from far away' but it helped to pass my time. ... did tht sound a little too harsh?? ehehe well this is complete on onemanga and mangafox so enjoy guys

Kiss/Hug

ok, so i've read tons of manga and watched tons of anime, but have been too lazy to write about any of them, or just didn't really like them. but i quite enjoyed this manga, even though it was quite short. 14 chapters to be exact.
Ryuu, a super business like transfer student just arrived in japan from england. Yukino, your ordinary girl and ryuu become attracted to each other at first sight. He then declares,"You'll be mine!" Yukino who doesn't have any love experience is of course confused.
Thus, this series is mostly about their falling in love, their feelings. this manga has just been completed, and i quite enjoyed it. i felt it had all the necessary ingredients that i liked, romance lots. some comedy and even a little action though that was really little. the art was good too. the guys and gals were hot and cool and really pleasing to our eyes. it also helped that there wasn't much love triangles at all. it just means that really sweet moments between the two, and it's really sweet how the guy is so possessive and all. ehhehehe oh well, i can rant on and on but will not. hope you guys enjoy the series.
