SHINOBI LIFE Chapter 6 -- REALLY Kagetora!!?

The latest chapter has left me FREAKING OUT.

1. I mean, come on Kagetora. We all know you're a ninja and you follow your word and this is just what has to happen in a shojo manga, but SERIOUSLY it's getting old. You love Beni, you came back to the future with her, you guys kissed, just COME ON. Unfortunately, that's what makes him Kagetora, he's respectful, trustworthy, honorable, and loyal. Soon he'll come to realize that he needs to worry about himself as well, and the feelings of those that love him.
2. OMGZZZ WTF WENG TRAVELLED THROUGH TIME TOO???!!! This is obviously a bad thing since the last time we saw him he was trying to kill Kagetora and steal Beni to put her "back" on the throne. Anyways, now he's just hanging out in the Gangaku household, not such a good thing. No wonder Rihito was aware that Kagetora is literally out of this world. So more and more obstacles to their love, yayyyy.
3. Thanks Kagetora (again) for letting Beni get fondled by creepy fiance boy behind the school. Close save, he was thiiiiiiiiiis close to kissing her. Yikes, we all know to whom Beni-sama's lips belong to *ahem*

But really, the worst part was Kagetora's facial expressions throughout the entire chapter.

Poor guy, how could you even stand there and take it??? Ninjas...

Anyways, hopefully the next chapter is coming out soon, I don't know how quickly this is getting published and whatnot, but I really need my fix of certain boys in black from the past. Rawrrrrrr


Um, Beni, share the love please

eta: By the way, one thing I absolutely LOVE about this manga is the artwork. It's very simple but it conveys such strong emotions. It's probably the main reason I've become so attached to the characters and even the story itself, because when I think about it I think of the characters, the positions they're in, the mood being conveyed. That's different to my other favorite shojo series, Fruits Basket, Shinshi Doumei Cross, Milk Crown, Vampire Knight, and Koukou Debut, where I think about the settings a lot.
I guess it's just because this series is mainly to show character change, but still, it's just something I notice and think about a lot every time I reread the chapters (which is at least once a week). I truly do love the art style.

And, sometimes, I wish spiders would go in my hair....sigh, oh Kagetora

SPARE ME THE INTRODUCTIONS

Well, to preface, I don't know everything about manga and anime, but I still decided that I wanted somewhere to write down my thoughts. I am in full awareness that no one will probably ever read this, and that is alright with me. This is a very selfish need of my own to rant, rave, fangirl it up, and speculate about everything I'm interested in. Truth be told, I'm excited.

I've realized lately how completely superficial I am when it comes down to picking out a new manga to read. I'll check to see whether there's an attractive guy in it, if not then the chances of me reading it are less than favorable.

Take Fruits Basket for instance. I've known about it for a long time, but seeing as I don't have any friends who are interested in this stuff it never got a good review in my head. In fact, whenever I saw the manga in stores I thought the covers looked pretty damn lame and pushed the idea of reading it to the back of my head. Until one day while wikipedia-ing it I stumbled across a pictures of Kyo. BAM I was set. Sohma Kyo was the sole reason I decided to read it.

Sigh, so sad.

It's just that Shugo Chara! lately got me thinking about the need for a guy like Kyo in it (not even just the cat features, that is always a plus anyways). I (again) knew about it and even had it on my list of something to read/watch. I wasn't planning on getting around to it soon mainly because of how young the target audience seemed to be, and how shojo-ish it looked. It just didn't look deep enough. But then I saw a picture of Tsukiyomi Ikuto, and even more so than with Kyo I was hooked. He's my newest obsession and the one and only reason I can get myself through Shugo Chara. He's easily the deepest character there which at least validates my attraction to him. He actually reminds me a lot of Hei from Darker Than BLACK, and I guess in the end every single male character I'm completely head over heels for. They're always rather tragic and emo... and many have crazy fighting skills or catlike abilities ^_-

I really honestly don't know how to make anything look cool, including this blog, so I just put up an excellent Ikuto picture. He's really fucking rad.




oh you
