Manga: Iris Zero

Hello everyone,
Sorry for not posting on the past two weeks (I think it was two weeks), but my stupid mac doesn’t work anymore and I’ve been living without internet or computer for long time T-T. I've just been living by reading novels and sending text messages with the cellphone, without mangas, manhwas or Facebook games. For me it was maddening because there were lots of social protests and other social issues here in Nuevo León México, and i didn’t have mean of communication except cellphone! Yesterday I said “I’m getting insane” while laughing in front of the bathroom mirror, I was really driving insane!!!!!
Anyway..., leaving that aside...
From today onwards I’m going to post the summary and recommendation of Asian Comics in another way, ‘cuz I’m finally in vacations and the blog doesn’t matter for my school grade anymore, yeah!!!!! So the English teacher won’t check it anymore and I can also make entries in Spanish. If you want to read the comic just click the name of the manga. Here it is:

       IRIS ZERO Manga

Original name: アイリスZERO(アイリス・ゼロ)
Pronunciation: airisu zero
Story created by Shiki Piro and drawn by Takana Hotaru
Genres: Mystery, Psychological, Comedy, Fantasy, Romance, School Life, Shounen, Seinen, Supernatural

Summary: In a world where every boy and girl has a special power called Iris, Toru who, as a result of not having any kind of special power, was bullied from a young age, lives by his motto: "low exposure”, “to live without standing out." But his peaceful school life changes when he receives a certain "Confession" from the schools most popular girl, Koyuki. His motto begins to shake!!
The school fantasy story that shakes the heart begins with their meeting.


By today, 15/December/2011 it is still ongoing and have released 5 manga volumes.


      Well, as you’d read, this manga is about people with powers called Iris(it is futurist, and according to the story kids were born with iris since 21 years ago, but when it started the chance of having Iris was .1%), and this comic genre is classified in fantasy, mystery and supernatural, most of the people would think it could be something really extraordinary, but no, it is just based in a normal high school, and it is completely about high school(teachers, students, grades, school groups, etc.). Thou it is based and all the stories are developed in or are about high school issues, it is really interesting because sometimes reading comics from amazing things or people doesn’t let you appreciate what is around you in your normal life, sometimes you could wish to have an amazing life or something really extraordinary in your life too. But, by reading this manga, you can change your way of thinking and perception about the world as it is about high students life (I’m think most of the people that read this blog is still student).
The main character, Toru, does also have an interesting way of thinking, which is another factor that can make you like this manga. His motto of “low exposure” have maintained him keeping him out of meeting people or befriend them, but as Koyuki started talking to him, a lot of problem arises and he met other people with whom he became good friend later.

Sorry if i'm being redundant.
      I liked this manga because this semester was really crazy, and in International Baccalaureate, the classes weren’t boring as they were in Bicultural, also there were lots of problems another issues with my classmates as they weren’t before, Iris Zero made me think more about it, and about life as it is right now. I really liked this manga. I’m really grateful that a friend recommended me this manga. So I also recommend you to read it, and I’m sure that you will also like this Japanese Comic.
Thanks for reading,
GBU,
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Have a nice weekend!




PS: I don't know who wrote that summary but I found it in different manga webpages.
