*Note : If you hate spoilers and whatsoever, I suggest you do not proceed in reading. xD I have no complete control over my mouth.. err.. hands when they already start typing… So beware.. xD Seriously, if you hate spoilers, then you would have to leave immediately so you may not read out my spoilers.. xD

Oh just any other love triangle stories. It was really a good story. (:

It’s about this girl named Sekai who “broke” Makoto’s charm – secretly taking a pic of teh person you like then use it as a wallpaper for weeks without anyone knowing about it.

And then to make up for it, she helps Makoto to get closer with Kotonoha.

 Blah blah blah..

And the two did end up together. They were a couple. But then Sekai developed feelings for Makoto – and Makoto loved Sekai as well.
Makoto and Kotonoha are still a couple, but he also goes out with Sekai as well. Now that’s cheating!

What would Kotonoha do if she finds out? How would she react? Who will Makoto choose between the two?
And here’s this one question in my head all the time. Why does this manga include “HORROR” as a genre anyway?

Well, you’ll find out as soon as you finish the story.

And well, here’s some words about the ending : TOTALLY UNEXPECTED!!
Yeah.. For such a story to turn out like that.

I just started reading this last Sunday.
The illustrations were good! ^^
And the story is even more better!
I’m still on Chapter 3, though.

*Note : Forgive me but I might give out spoilers here.. xD I just can’t completely control my mouth.. err.. hands..

Anyways.. The story is all about the world where people are infected with “Troy”. It is a disease that could be “passed” just by touching directly one’s skin. Once infected with Troy, your life is slowly “eaten up”. When the victim suddenly suffers a seizure, it’s the sign that he/she is going to die. After having a seizure, the victim’s body becomes transparent until what’s left from him/her is only his/her clothes – END OF LIFE.

But there are special people who could heal Troy victims and they are called “sisters”. They only need to touch the victim and the victim is saved. But then again, that is NOT COMPLETE healing since nobody is allowed to touch the victim for they could still get Troy from him/her. And in addition to that, the sisters are infected with Troy as well.

I think I’m getting too carried out with the intro..xD

So owkei.. The main character here is Sister Elraine. She dreams of a world WITHOUT Troy. She hopes to see the person who is totally immune to Troy -  someone who could be the answer on how to DESTROY TROY. Just then, she suffered a seizure. She was sure she is going to die. But a boy named Kiri came to her rescue and surprisingly, her seizure stopped. When she let go of him, her seizure comes back. But as Kiri touched her again, it stopped!

Sister Elraine then found HIM – the answer to her prayers. She was then given another mission – to bring Kiri to the Cathedral. But they have to keep holding hands – sleeping, eating, taking a bath, going to the toilet - or by the moment she lets go, it would be her end.

This is the start of their adventure!!

They say that the ending is rushed >___<
I just hope it’s not really that disappointing like Pretty Face’s.

Anyways..

=====================================
at first, i wasn’t really planning on going further on this manga (continue reading)
but then i really get attracted to SD’s or chibi’ish expressions!! >.<
i just can’t resist it so i continued up until the latest chapter..
there’s no really uhm.. “one plotline”..
i mean.. ung story, no exact direction..
uh.. what im trying to say is.. parang wala lng..
everyday life of these characters..
then another character is introduced..
problems came..
but then solved immediately naman.. (and oh! when it seems to be ONE HUGE PROBLEM, madali lng pala nalulutas o.0) looks complicated but is actually very simple..
or it could be the other way..
simple matters tend to become complicated.!

haha.! anyways.. i just love the humor of the story!^^
mejo may kilig factor.. hehe

Summary
Randoh Masashi, a self-centered, brash karate star, was the victim of a horrific bus accident that left him comatose, his face terribly disfigured by extensive burns. Genius plastic surgeon Dr. Manabe saved Rando’s life and went to work on his face, gradually reconstructing it based on a photograph found in the wreckage of the bus. When Randoh wakes up from his coma, a year has passed, and Dr. Manabe has made remarkable progress. But in a cruel twist of fate, the photo that the doctor used as his reference was not a picture of Randoh, but of Rina Kurimi, the girl whom Randoh has a crush on!

========================
I really liked this manga! I read it the same time I was reading Death Note(that’s why it took me some time before I finished reading it)

So, as it is stated in the summary, it is all about this guy named Randoh who had an accident, was in coma for a year, and had surgery that changed his face like that of Rina’s.

Rina did saw him with the same face as hers, yet, she didn’t freak out or what. Instead, she was so happy for she thought that Randoh was her older twin sister, Kurimi Yuna, who ran away from home. Now, he has to live with the girl he likes.

Randoh wants his face back but before he that, he has to look for the real Yuna. Could he really find her?? If he does, would he really be able to go back to being Randoh?

Haha.. (nagsu’summary na ata ako ah xD) Bsta, I just wish my anime nito. It’s super nakakatawa.. Some scenes are ecchi, pero kei lng. They make the story even more funnier(and harder) for Randoh.

Death Note Manga

Series Info
Title: Death Note
OM Rank: 17
Categories: anime, drama, mystery, shounen, supernatural
Author: Ohba Tsugumi

Artist: Obata Takeshi

Chapters: 111 – completed

Summary
Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects–and he’s bored out of his mind. But all that changes when he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god. Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies, and now Light has vowed to use the power of the Death Note to rid the world of evil. But when criminals begin dropping dead, the authorities send the legendary detective L to track down the killer. With L hot on his heels, will Light lose sight of his noble goal… or his life?

Source: One Manga

==================
What I could say:

The illustrations were totally awesome. It took me a few weeks to finish reading it. We were still having our classes then so I don’t really have that much time on reading it.

The manga is different from the anime, especially the ending.
But I liked the manga’s ending better. The approach may be more tragic than that of the anime’s but then the ending of the anime is just “sad”, and I dun like seeing na si Light ang naging bida sa huli.

But then again, I could not really say that may bida nga. If you have read this manga or watched the anime, you could never see who’s really the protagonist.

This manga really impressed me a lot. Super galing ng gumawa ng mangang to. It’s a battle of the minds. Nakz.! You’ll really love this manga.

After I read this one, parang naging boring ung “manga-life” ko. This is really one of the BEST manga I have ever read.

==================
Some of the characters..


Light picked up the deathnote and began using it to get rid of criminals.. he claims he is Justice.. and i HATE him!


L is the head of the investigation about the Kira case.. he loves sweets(almost anything edible).. one of the world’s best detective.. and i LOVE him^^


Mello aims to be number one.. at first, I dun like him.. but later on, he turned out to be a good lad^^


Near is one of the successors of L.. he loves toys[and looks like L! (o0.] (and just like L, i LOVE him!!^^)


she possesses the shinigami eyes and would do almost(well, not almost) but everything for Light


Ryuk is the owner of the deathnote that Light is using.. he loves apples..(yet, i think he’s dumb –.”)


Rem is one intelligent shinigami..(and she hates Light /gg)

well.. that’s all for now^^
