hello...*faint ghostly image of darke in your dreAAmmsamsasmasammsa samsamsam mbwa hah ahahahah!!*
Hi again. Im defintely going to be away for the next two weeks
MINDLESS MASSES: you keep saying that darke, but you're still here...
Darke: *slaps mindless masses.*
SHUT UP! you're meant to be mindless.
But next weekend im going on a cadet camp (work wouldnt let me have the time off so im pulling a "sickey" on them. screw them anyway) and then immediatley after that im going to Paris! Im going to watch lots of "Noir" anime to get me in the mood.
After that, well, im not sure. But it will only be a couple of weeks until I go back. so you guys wont have to wait that long.
MANGA REVIEW!!!
Saikano: The last love song on this little planet.
This manga by Shin Takashi is kinda like Makoto Shinkai's anime "Voices of a distant star". it has the girl, the boy, the relationship and the mechs. But Saikano is more intense and its set in present day.
Chise is a shy, small, clumsy, slow, and nervous girl in her senior year in high school. Her motto is "I want to be stronger," and her mantra is "Im sorry," saying on a regular basis. (remind yopu guys of anyone *COUGH CHIE COUGH* ^-^ im kidding.
Shuji is a guy, a bit nervous around Chie, but other wise a strong character, both physically and mentally. Chie has asked Shuji to be her boyfriend and he accepts. The first chap of the novel is centered on them getting used to each other and the acknowledgement that they're going to fall in love.
HOWEVER: Chie is the ultimate weapon. Her body has been engineered by the JSDF to transform into a type of aircraft with immense firepower and other capabitiltes. Japan is under attack by an unknown power, and bombing has become quite regular. Just as Chie and Shuji are becoming used to the fact that she has this destructive potential inside her, things begin to change. Her body has taken on a mind of its own, becoming stronger and more powerful. However, Chise herself is still as weak as she was before. As her bod begins to spiral out of control as a weapon, Shuji and Chise decide to run away. But things aren't as easy as they seem...
Saikano is an awesome manga that I picked up on a hunch. The artwork isnt intense and heavily detailed, but changes from a whispy almost pencil-like drawing for the love type scenes to intense scenes for the action scenes. The story doesnt focus too heavily on the fighting and is more geared to the realtionship between Shuji and Chise. The are also comedic moments as well, and the drawing style changes accordingly, with some hilarious scenes.
One such funny scene isnt really meant to be funny, but it made me laugh. Chise and Shuji is on a bike being chased. Suddenly, Chise's jacket bulks up and several missiles drop out and shoot towards the persuers. Whilst not meant to be comedic, the actual scene where you see several rockets drop out of a young girls jacket is quiite amusing.
Beautifully written and expertly drawn, Saikano is a manga i would recommend to anyone, specifically first time manga buyers and people who like action and romance in equal measures. A must have for all those who loved "Voices". And keep an eye out for the anime!
I would like to apologise to all those who have signed my GB. I will get back to you guys as soon as possible.
As for the rest of you guys, have a nice summer. dont get too lazy.
and when I count to three and snap my fingers, you will wake up.
