[Bokurano] fic: Those Left Behind: The turn of her heel, the nape of her neck

I'm not sure where this piece came from. XD; Anyway, I read through half the series today (at a very quick speed) since I obviously missed a lot of detail in my previous read! I have such a bad memory for detail too. I don't think this ending is very plausible since I have no idea how much Miku was told, but pretend she doesn't learn the truth until way later, and that she does learn about it eventually. X3;;

I tried Write and Die for ten minutes. Gosh, it was torture. XDD It couldn't stop me from wanting to reread what I just wrote. I did write...200 words in that time, but ended up taking an hour and a half to write the rest. >__>

( aug 24: the turn of her heel, the nape of her neck )

Kare Kano, Seiyuu Ka, Tenipuri

Interrupting all the Bokurano fic posts for some manga talk!

Kare Kano
Last week, I finished reading Kare Kano after starting it...10 years ago. I borrowed the first eight volumes from my cousin when I last visited Taiwan. I remember the title of Kare Kano in Chinese had the word "Seesaw" in it. Strange name. XD; Anyway, I always hear that Kare Kano is about masks and facades and relationships, but the two main characters weren't even the main characters for several volumes! Each of the side characters have a lot of back story. That part amazed me...I suppose the mangaka did have a lot of time with this series to dedicate such detail for each of the characters. My favorite was the singer Kazuma...I wish his side story had gotten into the anime (but then, even if it did...I guess Ishida Akira wouldn't have sang any of his songs. Darn). I revisited Kare Kano after all these years because of the mangaka's other series, Eensy, Weensy Monster. I found it to be very cute. <3

Seiyuu Ka
I went to Kinokuniya today and picked up the first three volumes of this manga along with the bunko versions of Mekakushi no Kuni (the new covers are so pretty! But I wonder if only Jump series get Perfect Editions while shoujo series only gets pocket size reprints...I want my color pages!) Anyway, Seiyuu Ka is by the mangaka of SA, which I haven't read, though I did watch the anime of that. So far, Seiyuu Ka has been pretty fun. The main character wants to become a seiyuu of a cute, magical girl, but her voice sounds like that of an old man whenever she tries to sound cute. She finds out somewhere along the way that she's actually better at prince like voices. So yup, there's some genderbending coming right along.

Tenipuri
Latest two chapters of Shin Tenipuri (chapters 33 & 34) cracked me up. The look on Akaya's face when he was flying in the air like an angel killed me. I'm not sure if this was supposed to be funny, but yeah... XD;

I picked up volume 6 of the Perfect edition today. The short manga where Mizuki went to Rokkaku to recruit Kisarazu Ryou was included in the back. I wonder why they included that again when it was already included in the fanbooks! Oh well...I suppose it doesn't hurt having it again since this is a volume dedicated to St. Rudolph. The cover features Yuuta~ with Mizuki on the inside cover. Halfway done with this collection...6 volumes left! This will still take quite a bit of money. ^^
