   sorry this is late
Ok. I'm gonna talk about manga for once.

So I bought the final 3 volumes of Power!! (aka GIRL GOT GAME) today...that's manga, by the way. I don't watch much anime, but i read a lot of manga (just a few series though.)

If you don't know it, I'm going to describe the series.

It's what I feel like doing, sorry!!!

So, it starts out that Aizawa Kyo is a high school transfer, who likes basketball. Her dad is OBSESSED, and forges her paperwork so she has to dress as a man and play for the Seisyu High boy's basketball team

Aizawa is NOT pleased, but when she gets to the school, she sees a tall guy playing ball, and he's really good. She decides maybe it won't be so bad. As she meets the team, even tho they're taller, she can keep up. OH and she also has to stay in the dorm

As the series goes on, it shows her developing a crush on Eniwa Chiharu, her roommate, rival, friend, and the guy she first saw. When an old schoolmate shows up, she jealously reveals Aizawa's chest, and Eniwa finds out, but he decides to keep her secret.

They get on okay, and then Aizawa meets Yura, a prodigy, who can immediately tell her true gender. after a few battles with him, they all become friends.

Eventually, it shows the team finding out but not really caring, and Eniwa and Aizawa falling in love along the way.

I guess it SOUNDS more shoujo-y than it is...it's fucking HILARIOUS!!!! The author always draws the FUNNIEST faces xD ROFL

one of my favorite..."arcs"...of the series is when Eniwa is repressing his attraction to Aizawa. He tells her that she isn't really a girl (after he divides the room in half), so because she likes him, decides to prove how girly she is, though she either winds up seeming REALLY butch, or just plain weird.

Finally, she borrows porn magazines from their friend Hamaya to see how a woman should be. Wearing s tummy-exposing tank top, no bra, and hot pants, she greets him. Successfully, she gets Eniwa's attention: he jumps on top of her, pinning her, and scolding her for her silliness.

Thinking he's going to "force himself" on her, she freaks out, kicks him in the crotch, then climbs on top of him, and ties him up with rope.

Just then, Hamaya walks in with a new, S&M special porn, and freaks out. He doesn't see Aizawa's breasts, and thinks they ARE a couple (people suspect)

xD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROFL but the FACES IN THAT PART!!!!!!!!!! she draws the BEST FACES LMAO

my favorite quotes that i can recall offhand would be:

Aizawa: "Oh God, am I still a girl...or half of a gay couple?"
Eniwa: "How can I be in love with a girl who shoves bamboo sticks up her nose???"
(after that he crashes into a vending machines)

xD!!!!!!!!!!!! this story, while it may have a FEW stupid romantic moments, is mostly comedy. most romantic scenes are busted up by someone. It's not an important series, but it makes me laugh a lot.thank you!
