Skip Beat!
Caught up with Skip Beat! yesterday. I was around 13 chapters behind (I think I left off around 163 or so). The current arc is intense! I'm also glad I had a lot of chapters saved up because now I'm back to...waiting.

Barajou no Kiss
I started reading this during the week! Totally a reverse harem, and I think everyone will like Anis by the end. I like this stuff about contracts between her and her knights quite a lot though (especially now they're trying to "level up" their contracts), and it amuses me to no end that each of these guys are represented by different colored roses (red rose, black rose, white rose, blue rose, etc). It all felt kind of silly (there are quite some comedic moments too), but then the manga would sometimes amaze me with some other turn of event. |D

My favorite character is Mutsuki! He's the dark, silent type and quite standoffish, but he's also very devoted, and I love that part about his past. I so want to hear his lines about waiting for his Dominion voiced. I think I will need to find the drama CDs... *looks them up* Oh~, he's voiced by Tsuda Kenjirou there.

NaNoWriMo
NaNoWriMo??? XD; Hm, so I reached 50k last November but did not manage to complete my novel. CreativeSpace has an offer for winners to print their novels. The deadline is June, which... means the deadline is almost going to pass soon! I hope it hasn't passed yet?? I dusted off my NaNo and started editing a few things... but yeaaaah, I don't think I can get this into shape. It is sadly, very plot-less, and I don't think any amount of poking will make it less plot-less.

Reading the beginning parts after I now actually know what happens later changes things a bit though. I replaced mentions of "skirmish" with "dispute" since... that was so not a skirmish. XD; Hm, unless I shake things up a bit more and actually go the skirmish route... XD;

I haven't done much of any writing this month or the previous month. Hoping to finish a oneshot (that I started last month) by next week...
