『ミッドナイト・セクレタリ』

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 17:50:09 +0900

・ミッドナイト・セクレタリ // Midnight Secretary

・Volumes: 7

・Type: Shoujo

・Genre: Romance; Supernatural; Smut; Josei

And so, after waiting for weeks for the final chapter to be released, I have to admit(although I'm not sure is it because of the long wait) that the ending was a complete bust.

It's not a bad ending, no. It's just that there's still a whole lot left unsaid. In fact, the final chapter seems pretty redundant except for the fact that it's sweet(everything's mostly pre-confirmed in the second last chapter[and if you knew the flow of typical romance manga, you'd more or less get what's going to come next]).

Anyway, it's a pretty nice manga nevertheless, ~~just with a really big open-ending~~.

Perhaps the extra chapter(still underway) would shed more in-depth closure on the story.

I'm bored, and they're pink. I wonder why this always happens.

Even if I were to disappear, it wouldn't matter to you, would it?

After all, I am but someone unworthy to stand beside you; even in this place called Love, I was never there.

All that is and was were just illusions of how you've wanted me to be.

『ルードヴィッヒ革命』

・ルードヴィッヒ革命 // Ludwig Kakumei

・Volumes: 4

・Type: Shoujo

・Genre: Fantasy; Horror; Romance; Comedy

I commend the mangaka's creativity and imagination to be able to twist such renowned fairtytales into something so...er...twisted.

But other than that, this whole manga series was a waste of time to read.

Evanescence - Anywhere

Sat, 06 Jun 2009 03:32:18 +0900

Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me, and
Dear my love, haven't you longed to be free
I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you
And at sweet night, you are my own
Take my hand

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning's light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name

I have dreamt of a place for you and I
No one knows who we are there
All I want is to give my life only to you
I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore
Let's run away, I'll take you there

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning's light
We'll be halfway to anywhere
Where no one needs a reason

Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you
Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you now

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning's light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name

『ウロボロスの輪』

・ウロボロスの輪 // Uroboros' Circle

・Volumes: 2

・Type: Shoujo

・Genre: Romance; Supernatural; Horror; Psychological

Hmmm don't really know(or have much) to say about this manga except that it's pretty refreshing the way the author reuses the cast for the two different stories that you'll read about. It's quite nice to know that time actually passes in some manga worlds.

Evanescence - Missing

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 21:05:37 +0900

Can you stop the fire?

Can you stand to fight her?

You can't stop the fire.

You won't say the words.

Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"

You won't cry for my absence, I know
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?

Can you stop the fire?
Can you stand to fight her?
You can't stop the fire.
You won't say the words.

Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?

Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
I breathe deep and cry out,
"Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?"

Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?

And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something...

Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?

Can you stop the fire?

Can you stand to fight her?

You can't stop the fire.

You won't say the words.

『トカゲ王子』

Tue, 02 Jun 2009 18:27:36 +0900

"Princess Canary is to go to an omiai with Prince Heath, a prince from another kingdom known for his flirting with women, drinking and gambling. She agrees but only to have the chance to preach to him about the way he rules his kingdom. Prince Heath is completely opposed to the idea and instead of going, gives his pet lizard a potion to turn him into an exact duplicate so that he may replace him.

But when the lizard and Princess Canary meet, she is surprised to find herself falling in love with the prince thinking the rumours may not be true at all. What will happen when she discovers that the prince she’s falling in love with is actually a lizard? And what about the lizard, himself? Will he be content living as a lizard once he’s had a taste of what being human is like?"

- One Manga

(It seems I've been reading too much from Flower Comics.)

トカゲ王子 (Lizard Prince) is one of the most adorable fairytale manga I've ever read! The plot is basically the very typical "There was once a prince in a bla bla kingdom bla bla bla..." so it's pretty nostalgic(and cute, again) in a way too.

And quite frankly, I hadn't in my wildest dreams to picture a lizard THIS cute.

Highly recommended for anyone who needs a good and continuous laugh.
