so long fair well
Hey,

Well yesterday was my birthday as I said and I did in fact get my borders gift card from my dad and I got Chinese food! Yummy! I also asked for a naruto calendar for Christmas so I hope I can get that and I still got to do some Christmas shopping for my best friend. Oh and I got some roses delivered to my school for me.

Nothing much else happened at school today. We had a luncheon at our school today. It was cool we had turkey and all the other Christmas foods. The whole student body was eating lunch in the cafeteria but my friends and I were eating lunch in our English classroom because it was more comfortable.

I want to read some manga. I’ve been jonesing for manga for along time now. Of course I could read some of my old manga but I want to read fresh new manga! I’m especially excited to read fullmetal alchemist and death note.
So I wanted to know what everyone’s favorite manga is? I can’t choose one it’s too hard.

i don’t really have much else to say but I must mention that this is probably the last day that I can post until after Christmas because tomorrow the seniors are going to hog the computer lab and after that it’s Christmas break and since I don’t have a working computer at home I won’t be able to post so for the next few weeks this is probably the last post. Now don’t cry too much about me being gone. ^-^

Also I just realized that today is Wednesday and that means it’s time for:

REDMOONCHICK’S MANGA REVIEW EDTION #5

Today’s manga that I’m reviewing is “Claymore” this manga is about a girl named Claire who is a creature called a claymore. In the setting of this world in the manga claymores are creatures that are half humans and half monster called a yoma. In this world a claymore’s job is to protect the humans of the world from yoma. The manga claymore is very interesting while a little slow at times it is still interesting. Claire is a good main character if not a tad bit stereotypical. She is strong, silent, and deadly all the qualities a good hero needs. The manga is a good mix of fantasy and action the fight scenes of the claymore V.S yoma show this especially well. Along the later volumes we learn more about claries past which is interesting. Claymore will most likely appeal to fans of the Middle Ages type of fair and possibly to those who play role playing games. The characters are cool if not sometimes shallow. The story tends to pick up the excitement in the later chapters of each volume which leaves you with a most often angering cliff hanger but perhaps that’s what this manga needs. The ability to get you hooked and a cliff hanger to keep you hooked. The problem with claymore is that it can get tiring after a while with the story moving often pretty slowly that by the end of the manga your wanting that finish (did that make sense?)

The art is pretty good if the people sometimes don’t look human and the covers of the volumes are always well done
I give “claymore” seven redmoons out of ten
