Latest manga I bought!

Dear Boys Overtime V2: I have V1 and V3 already, so this should complete my collection of Dear Boys. Never did I think the story would end up so long. XD I might be missing a volume from Season 3 though (not sure). I started collecting Dear Boys around 2003 when the anime (that was pretty badly animated, hahaha) aired. At first, I checked out the Dear Boys manga from the library (the library had all of Season 1), while I bought Season 2 as it was released. But then I went back and bought the bunkobon version of Season 1, because a collection that's missing an entire season isn't a collection! Even though I now have the entire series, I actually haven't read Season 3 yet. Season 2 was the one that had an arc that focused on Ayumi Fuse, my favorite character. I don't know if he shows up much in Season 3. XD I should finish reading the series sometime.

Oresama Teacher V24: I'm quite behind on reading this series too! Still hoping it'll get an anime~. Though, where I stopped reading, it was getting confusing with all of the new characters. I'll have to play catch up with this series too. I mean, a review on one of the fics I wrote in this fandom kind of told me that something happened in canon regarding a certain character's background. XD (I'm thankful they didn't spoil what it actually was~)

Buddy Go V8: The latest crossdressing manga I've been reading. XD It has all the usual cliches, haha. Girl crossdresses as a guy and forms a dancing unit with the guy she idolizes as a dancer.

Hattori Heiji x Tooyama Kazuha Fanbook: Whoa, a fanbook all about Heiji and Kazuha! I saw Kazuha first and was thinking that she looked a lot like Kazuha, and what do you know, it really is Kazuha. A fanbook all about her and her relationship with Heiji. Wow. (Conan is just there on the cover so we all know this is still Detective Conan, lol) I guess they're really being marketed now because of the 21st movie, The Crimson Love Letter, that focuses on them. The fanbook includes tidbits about them throughout the series, each chapter/episode they appear in, their character designs, their outfits, scenes from the movie drawn by Aoyama Gosho, and interviews. I like the interviews the best~. I read through two interviews so far, the one from Aoyama Gosho and the one from Heiji's and Kazuha's seiyuus. There's also an interview from Takayama Minami, several other seiyuus, and the director of the movie. Lots more to read. :3
Stuff I bought today!



Oresama Teacher v16, Usotsuki Lily v11, Aozora Yell v12, 2 Spoon 2Di magazines for the beautiful K posters (posters above, magazines below). Also, a Japanese novel for kids called Ore ga Aitsu de Aitsu ga Ore de which means "I am Her and She is Me." Bodyswap, yaaaay. I look forward to reading this! Both magazines have a section on Shingeki no Kyojin. I look forward to reading that~

Fic meme! (Basically me going, whyyy am I not done with this fic yet, and whyyy did I start a new fic...Nothing all that intelligent. OTL)

Expandfics I've written throughout 2012 )

Title: Don't Assassinate the Pigeons
Fandom: Oresama Teacher
Words: 7,183
Summary: Saeki Takaomi needs Mafuyu's help. Mafuyu crossdresses, Hayasaka frets, Okegawa disapproves, and Yui nearly assassinates a pigeon.
Notes: Written for specialrhino for Yuletide 2012. Originally posted here. I was so happy I got to write this fandom. ♥ (Many liberties were taken with a certain character's background in this fic, and his background will most likely be contradicted by canon in the future, but for now, I hope this feels plausible!)

A ridiculous number of lists for [community profile] no_true_pair. I'm hoping something bites! :3 Posting starts October 1. I didn't manage anything for the previous round. ):

Expandthieves, SKET Dance, Legend of Sun Knight, Half Prince, Noblesse, Oresama Teacher, Bakuman, Kimi to Boku )

Hm, my paid LJ account is expiring soon. I should change my layout before that. I wonder what my fics will look like after this... should look cleaner and easier on the eyes, actually! Since my current layout makes the bold font hard to see. x___x But the h1 and hr tags will look quite ugly. I'd just started using them in my fics too, darn.
(This is my letter for [livejournal.com profile] parallelsfic, a rare Asian fandom exchange. Sign-ups close on 6/29 if anyone still wants to join!)

Dear Parallelsfic Writer,

I hope you will find the following letter helpful! I've requested fic for all of the following and have detailed a little about my general likes regarding fic. In case you (or anyone else) would like to be adventurous, I've provided short blurbs about each of the series as well.

Optional details are optional, however, so take what you will from this letter~. Thank you for writing for me! :)

Prompts for [community profile] no_true_pair are up! To play, you toss in lists of eight characters. They get matched up in random prompts. Here's what I got out of my lists. (I tossed in a bunch. XD;;; )

Going to italicize the ones I'm thinking about writing. Though I might end up writing different stuff, or not writing as many as I highlight. XD

Oresama Teacher

I caught up with volumes 10-12! \o/ (Oh wow, I was behind...) I wasn't very interested in the student council members since they'd only just started showing up where I stopped, but they're a fairly interesting bunch. My favorite out of them is Ayabe Reito. :D I also read on past volume 12 with Chinese scanlations (b-because, Natsuo! Natsuo shows up in those chapters! I cannot resist Natsuo).

Expandsome thoughts )

Houkago no Oujisama v2

Houkago never fails to make me laugh. XD; It's rife with jokes though, so I can only read this slowly. :3 I read the two longer comics in the back first (the one where the middle schoolers have a pajama party and the high schoolers plan a welcome party, and the one where Shiraishi pays Seigaku a visit for material for his novel). I'm still slowly making my way through the rest of the volume~ (and have already laughed a whole lot). I so hope this will be animated one day. It's so much fun.

Next best thing is the vomic, I guess. XD; Houkago vomic! This aired in... August of last year? I'm sad they're so short, but it's still entertaining hearing the seiyuu voice some Houkago strips. XD

A ridiculous long reflection about my 2011 writing! Here's last year's reflection.

I told myself last year I would not start new multi-parters this year without finishing my previous WIPs, but apparently I forgot all about that in the face of my LSK obsession, hah...

Listing out all my possible prompts for [community profile] no_true_pair and narrowing them down later. :3 This will be fun! Some match-ups are more plausible than others while some are just crack. XD; My comments are in parentheses. Posting starts October. I hope my muse will give me some short oneshots. Not sure if I'll actually get anything written, but I gave each one some passing thought. Was fun just to think about the prompts even if I don't end up writing them.

An actual oneshot! \o/ (that completely came out of nowhere) Writing is so rushed, ahhhhh. I was kind of browsing my own Yuletide letter from last year. 8D

Title: Something Strange
Day/Theme: 1. A huge anthology of cutting edge horror
Series: Oresama Teacher
Character/Pairing: Hayasaka, Natsuo, Okegawa
Rating: PG
Words: 1705
Notes: for [livejournal.com profile] 31days_exchange, 31_days masterlist. I suppose this is a comedy. :D (Strange ending is strange) This is set between volume 9 and 10. The scanlations are almost there. A few more chapters to go. Banchou = leader of the school.

ExpandHayasaka was quite oblivious most of the time (even he knew that), but he couldn't shake the feeling that there was something strange going on with Natsuo, the current banchou, and Okegawa, the former banchou. )
oh man, I wrote up such a long and complicated post, but hopefully this is helpful...I didn't write one last year right away, or did I even write one? Guh, it was so hard to decide what to request! This is my letter for [livejournal.com profile] yuletide, an obscure fandom fic exchange. <3

Hi Yuletide Writer! This year, my requests are all manga/manhwa, and fairly obscure ones! The first two are both manga by Tsukuba Sakura. I really love her works and was very tempted to pick Penguin Revolution too. ♥ There were a lot of other fandoms on the list that I love too, but these ones are the ones that either I haven't seen much fanwork for, or the fanwork was mostly done by me...yeah, haha. So I'd love to see someone else's take on these! And if my assigned writer (or anyone else) checks out one of the other fandoms on this list, I'd be really happy to have gotten more people interested in the series. ^___^ I will try to provide info about how long the series are and how you might find them.

Expandinfo on the series, my favorite characters, and what I'd like to see in each )

Apologies if this is too much to read through. |D What this all means is...

1. Yoroshiku Master -> Please give me more of Rihito. <3
2. Mekakushi no Kuni/Land of the Blindfolded - Please give me more of Namiki. <3
3. Oresama Sensei/Oresama Teacher - Please give me more of oblivious Hayasaka and crossdressing Mafuyu. <3
4. Noblesse - Please give me more of M-21. <3

Anything else is all optional (well, crossdressing Mafuyu is optional too, but I would adore it so much). I hope they are helpful and will jog your creativity rather than limit you. Thank you for writing for me!
