And the black bird flies

Title: Crows Zero (クローズ ZERO/热血高校)

Status: Based on Takahashi Hiroshi's manga, Crows, two films have been produced: Crows Zero (2007)& Crows Zero II (2009).

Summary:
Classic high school (mini-?) yakuza story. Meet Takiya Genji, son of a yakuza boss. As an agreement, he must conquer Suzuran high school (local all boys school famous for its, you guessed it, violent boys) by graduation in order to inherit his father's group, a task even his father failed to do in his time. So he transfers to Suzuran in his senior year and begins his conquest.

Crows Zero II features Suzuran against another notorious badass school.

Commentary:
If you love violent boys hitting it off (take it as you wish) then this is a must watch.

Personally, as an ubber (yes, already totally obsessed) fan of ヨネダ コウ (Yoneda Kou,) I had to read sensei's Crows Zero doujinshi, Borderless. And needless to say, I totally fell in love with it. That's why I had to go watch the two movies and fill myself up with the original work.

Aside from all the violence and the overboard with the fake blood, these 'underaged' children smoked way too much. Almost every screen shot had whoever on screen smoking away, I understand it's badass but I am pretty sure by twenty-five, all of them will see each other at the lung-cancer ward DD:

But badass children are badass and we all love bad boys, especially when they are all cute with each other. Yes, it's undeniable, with an all-boys school, you can't get away from the boys-on-boys, it's almost too sweet when they aren't smashing each other's faces with their fists. ;D

When I watched Crows Zero II (I didn't even bother looking at the poster, I just went ahead and download) I almost squealed out loud when Miura Haruma appeared! V V~ *Rant ahead: I am not sure whether I have mentioned this, but since Bloody Monday, I have been a sincere fan of his~ Playing a year-one student in the neighbouring school Suzuran goes up against, he has quite a minimal part. But the last part where he fights just totally killed me (he was too cool!) Honestly speaking though, this school is a monk-school, everyone else aside from these six are bald faceless people in gray jump suits... (↓Haruma is on the far right. v)

BL is Life!

Title: Boys be Tambitious!(少年よ耽美を描け/少年啊！要光耀耽美)

By: Miki Maki (Blog & Site)

Status: Book 1-3 released in Japan, available (Chinese) translation of book 1-2 can be found.

Summary:
Araba Seri is a popular and good looking high school student who leads the perfect life. Until one day, he was dumped for the very first time in his entire life. Reason? His girlfriend wants to invest all the time that she spends with him into BL manga instead. What is a boy to do but to follow after?

Commentary:
For a four-panel styled manga, this has got to be the best I've ever read. It is crack-tastic in every sense as we follow the main character (and his idiotic friends that somehow all gets dragged into the mess) through his exploration of the BL world we are so familiar with. As I was reading this, I laughed till my sides hurt and I am not even exaggerating, it is that funny. So I wholeheartedly suggest this for relaxation or uplifting purposes, especially after those stressful cram days ;DD

The world revolves around the sun

Apparently two years is a huge difference, especially when it comes to two siblings growing up in the same family.

I am always surprised by how two years could create such a huge difference between my sister and I.

I believe in respecting my elders (my parents at the very least) but she doesn't. And every time I see her shrugging off our parents for the sake of another 'mood' she is always in I get so aggravated. I can't understand how come she can do what she does without feeling a bit ashamed of herself. Maybe one day I could see things from her perspective. Maybe I am too ticked off, but right now, I really don't think I want to see anything from her perspective.

I have chemistry to finish, a fic I want to write and a manga I really want to promote. But I've got to get this out in a rant before I say something rude in front of her face for real.


Wake up, the world doesn't revolve around you.

Oh-Fucking-Great!

WAHHH!!

AG (Air Gear)IS BACK!

And I was too blind to notice (oh shame on me!)

With Oh!Great's color pages even more pretty than before, my life is complete once again. ;D


Edit with spoilers: Or so I thought. I think I really need to rethink my definition of a complete life. But holy moly, I think my brain combusted on its own. I just caught up with all the updates I missed and damn that was flipping mind blowing.

Our favorite nii-san just became so much more important with his role as a child-caging, plastic-bullet-shooting sadist.

Kaito, I knew you were cool even back then but he was so douche-bag (and sweet even) unlike now (which is seriously sick in the head.) But 'Yellow Rain,' Kaito? That only reminds me of peeing from the roof... OTL

But now, with Kaito's normal side of his past revealed. Oh!Great just HAD to continue with the messed up side. You gotta love math in my interpretations, it is the only way I can get my head wrapped around all this anyway.

Kaito's brother=Akito=Agito=Lind=Gazelle=girl=Kaito's girl

(YOU ARE TONGUING YOUR LITTLE BROTHER, KAITO-NII.)
***Remember that the next time you see Akito/Agito's face again...

And so incest comes back to the great Wanijima family. What can I say besides: How did I NOT see this coming?
