Mangaka: CLAMP

-->

Hello everybody!

How are you? As always I wish you are fine.

On Tuesday finally the second partial exams ended, and I was really really happy because that day there were no homework T^T , and I read the whole day and watch DEXTER. I was really, really happy.

         Anyway, today I'm going to introduce you another topic which I'd never mentioned before, well, I'd mentioned it before, but not really deep as I'm going to do in this post…      MANGAKA!!! ^-^

         When you were younger maybe you watched in TV those animes like Cardcaptor Sakura, RG Veda, Chobits; or have heard about Code Geass, xxxHoLic, Tsubasa, Kobato, Clover, X/1999, Clamp School Detectives, Magic Knight Rayearth, Tokyo Babylon, Blood-C, Wish, or The One I Love.

If any of those heard somehow familiar to you, well, those animes and mangas were created or illustrated by CLAMP.  :D

            CLAMP nowadays is a group of four Japanese Mangaka women, they're well known all around the world. Their mangas and animes are available in most of the countries and have reached a very diverse audience as they have published comics in multiple genres and themes (from childish and comedic to much more dramatic and teen-rated). OɜO

         This Mangaka group banded together in the late 1980's, and started with thirteen members, some of them were Okawa Nanase/Ageha(leader), Apapa Mokona, Nekoi Tsubaki, Igarashi Satsuki, O-Kyon, Nanao Sei, Sei Leeza, Hishika Soushi, Akiyama Tamayo, Inoue Yuzuru, Nakamori Kazue, and Oumi Shinya.

         Before they began creating works as CLAMP, some members created Doujinshi series: Captain Tsubasa and Saint Seiya. They stopped publishing those doujinshi in 1987 and started to work in the manga in which they debuted on the market, RG Veda. However, when the manga was accepted by Shinshokan's(a publishing company) Wings magazine, the group had already went down to seven, and the other members left the group in the early 90's(many of their most famous series were released in that decade), leaving the group with just four members:  Nanase(leader), Mokona, Nekoi, and Satsuki. They are the members that continues in the group until today, being them whom we know as CLAMP, whom switch roles for the work and publication each series.*.*

 

            As I've mentioned before CLAMP published comics of several genres and that had caught an also diverse public, but also, CLAMP's manga drawings are distinguished by its diverse visual style that changes according to the audience to which they're intended and are highly detailed (detailed hair, heavily stylized eyes and human figures, elaborate clothing). Another characteristic that they have in the drawings is that they frequently features one-eye characters or characters that lose their sight in one eye and then, something comes later on to supplement the loss in vision, this may be inspired from Okawa poor right-eye vision. In their stories there's the common idea of soul-mates or couples that are tied together by fate, disregard of gender or biological age. In some CLAMP mangas you may see that they just don't treat themes superficially, they do also have some hidden critics or purposes in their stories (a critic to government or to society, etc.), and that had made some of their publications to be censored by government or other organizations.  OwO

            Besides all things that have happened to CLAMP, the group continues to be successful nowadays, and the series they produced in they early years continue being a sensation to the to the audience, also some of their stories had become legends in the anime and manga otaku world. :)

I wish you had liked my post,

I wish you all to have a nice day, GBU,

Good bye, and good luck　:D　ありがとうございました！

Manga: Working!!

Hello world! ,

How are you? I wish you are healthy and well rested, because I'm really tired. I think I'll become insane one of these days TT.TT, I really need and want to take a rest.

Anyway, let's continue.

Today as the past weeks I'm going to present you another comic, Working!!(ワーキング！) created by Takatsu Karino; This is a 4-Koma manga, which means that is a four celling Japanese Comedy Comic, yeah!!! (Those manga maybe at first are a little hard to read, but they are really cool and fun.) x3 This story is a weird one, but believe me, you will laugh like crazy :D :

   Takanashi Souta, a young man of 17 years old, was looking for job. He is recruited by the cute Taneshima Poplar in the streets to work on a familiar restaurant named Wagnaria, and now he must learn to adjust to his brand new job. In his new work none of the coworkers are what can be classified as "normal people": a cute little senpai with the obsesion of becoming bigger, a bully and suborner chef, a girl with androphobia and hits men when she see them, a manager who does nothing but eating, a waitress that always carry a katana(samurai sword) with her, a girl with the obsession of not be seeing as abnormal by others, a fawning girl with mysterious aura, a general manager who is always absent because he's searching for his wife, and a chef who seems to be emotionless; also Souta is not normal, he have a weird obsession with cute little things.

      Some of the characters are not introduced since the beginning, but as the story develops. :P This manga is more about the working life than of Takanashi own personal life(like most mangas), that there's even a moment when you'll ask yourself who is the main character of the story n.n?? . Other character that appear frequently are Souta's four sisters (a lawyer, a novelist, a drunk woman, and an elementary school girl) from whom he was ashamed of being family. xD As time passes with Takanashi working at Wagnaria, there happen lots of interesting events in which comedy, romance, and irony take place. The genres of this manga are Seinen, Slice of life, and Comedy(obviously). OɜO

       This manga is not really famous, instead is more famous the anime from this manga, but as I prefer to read than to watch TV, I read the manga. As I've said that its genre is comedy, this is what made this manga famous, because some situations that occur at Wagnaria are just so stupid and laughable; and other thing I'd said is that there's a point in which you'll ask yourself "who is the main character?", most of the people that had watched the anime thinks that Inami is the main character and not Takanashi(if you read the manga or watch the anime you'll know why –w– ), that's why it is confusing to read this kind of mangas. Other thing that can help you and guide you throughout the story is reading the mangaka notes, those can be found at the end or at the mere beginning of each volume, and usually have a chibi version that the mangaka made of himself/herself. 

It is all for today, have a nice weekend, 

Goodbye, GBU. 　さようならみんな！ :)

Jump Comics magazine & history

HI EVERYBODY~!

                   How are you?, I wish you could be fine, because at where I live, there had been recently a lot of social and political problems.  ¬¬

         Anyway, I'm going to introduce you more about information of the most popular manga magazines and publishing companies.  OwO  The one I’m going to present you today is the most popular Shounen manga magazine and a little about its publishing company:

Cover of the first issue published at 1968

         Jump Comics, is a famous manga magazine created by Shueisha Publishing company, which is a major publisher in Japan.(eNotes.com) It has more than three million readers, and also is one of the Japanese longest-running manga magazines known until this date. This magazine has some sub-magazine, and the most known and famous is Shonen Jump magazines.(VirtualJapan.com)

         Shonen Jump was created at 1968 as a semi-weekly magazine; at 1969 it became a weekly manga anthology and changed its name to Weekly Shonen Jump, which is the name it still maintain at today. Once a month is released the magazine Monthly Shonen Jump, which contains all the manga chapters that were released at the Weekly Shonen Jump in a month.(VirtualJapan.com)

This manga anthology magazine is the one responsible of publishing some mangas that are pretty famous and well known all around the world, that maybe we watched in TV as anime when we were kids, mangas such as Dragon Ball (Toriyama Akira), City Hunter (Houjo Tsukasa), Saint Seiya (Kuruma Masamu), or Slam Dunk (Inoue Takehiko); or that we get to know them at modern time for being also popular animes, mangas as Death Note (Tsugumi Ohba and Asami Yuuko), One Piece (Oda Eiichiro), Naruto (Kishimoto Masashi), or Bleach(Kubo Tite).(MangaHere.com)

North America 100 issue cover

         In North America, SHONEN JUMP is published by Viz Media, a publishing company of Japanese entertainment, headquartered in San Francisco. It was displayed by first time to the public at magazine and bookstores at January 2003. Each Magazine is released in English just once a month as the Monthly Shonen Jump; it contains chapters of seven manga series, articles of Japanese language and culture, anime, videogames, and sometimes figurines or special collection cards.(VirtualJapan.com) The magazine is sold at the US, Canada, Mexico, and other few countries of the American Continent.

40 aniversary Japanese issue

     This Manga Magazine is one of my favorites because some of my favorite mangas are from Jump Comics; most of the manga stories of Shonen Jump are really interesting and have good drawings (there are exceptions). If you want to buy it: in the US and Canada is relatively cheap in comparison to Mexico or other countries. If you live in NL, Mx, you can find it at Sanborns' bookshop. :B

Thanks for reading, GBU, have a nice day~! :D

Terminology and Introduction

Hi everybody,
this is the first post of all, xD
here I’m just going to introduce myself and give you some important terminologies for read Asian comics, specially Japanese(that are the most popular) and Korean(also popular); Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese comics are not often seen so there's no exactly terminology for those.

I don't like hentai, yaoi and yuri, I think my mind could become scum. I usually read Shounen, Shoujo, Gore(I’m a sadist), and Koma, I think those are cool(specially gore :B ).
