Webtoon Manhwa: Papi Nyang

Hello again everyone!

         I’m sure you’re getting ready to return to school in this month or the next … couf couf … because I start classes again on monday 6  TTwTT

The final torture is coming next … ♫ 5th IB semester!!!! ♫ :D ☠

TT-TT I have to survive if I want my diploma.

Anyway!!!

         Today I want to present you a really cute manhwa which is a webtoon named Papi Nyang. I fell in love with the story even before start reading it because of the cute characters, more Chev which is in the cover. x3

Here is it: 

Papi Nyang

Name in Korean: 빠삐냥

Drawn and story created by Guava

Released in 2008

Originally published online on Blog Naver (NAVER 블로그) in guava85 account.

Genres:  Slice of Life, Drama, and some also consider it Shoujo, though I do not.         

        Summary:

Webtoonlive:

Gorba Chev, a fiesty Turkish Angora cat, dreams of escaping from his so called "prison". However, when he finally succeeds, he finds there is a hidden darkness in the outer world...

MangaFox:

Gorba Chev is a feisty white kitten owned by a kind and caring young woman -- yet he often dreams of escaping from the "prison" that is his owner's apartment.

When he eventually succeeds, Chev joyfully prepares to embrace his new life of freedom and adventure; but soon finds out that reality is a sadistic mistress and a very cruel teacher...

This manhwa by today August 4, 2012 is already completed with 28 chapters.

         This cute manga, as you can infer is about the live of a cute little cat (I love cats) named Chev which wants to scape home as he thinks is a kind of prison, but he ends up discovering that world outside isn’t as nice as he thought before, and even he ends up sick wanting to return home. Don’t think I’m just spoiling you the story, because that is just the beginning of the story, as there happen many other things.

Chev gets to know many other cats, most of them street cats, which conform the story, apart from some human characters as the owner.

         The drawings are really good and cute, also the author posted some information about the cats with pictures. This manhwa is based on real life events, but Guava explains that at least 70% of the story was made up by her. :P

         I really recommend you to read this manhwa, as the manga before (Hourou Musuko) but this story because is heart-moving (at least for me), I’m sure you will love it too if you love animals (or at least like cats). :3

         Well this was my last post before returning to classes, I’m sure it’ll be a long time before I make another post, but I wish to do many more as I have my stupid computer again with me and now it works properly as a Mac is supposed to do (I hate iMac’s >:C ).

Have a nice weekend everyone, 

enjoy the time you have left of your summer vacations and rest well,

if you enter classes as me I wish you good luck and success.

Bye~ bye~

♪ GBU all!

Manga: Hourou Musuko, The Transient Son

         

Hello everyone!

      Sorry for not posting for sooooo long, this is a really fast post as I decided to started it today and ended it today when usually for a recommendation about any comic I take at least two days, and approximately 6 to 9 hours at all. 

Anyway!

Let me introduce you this cute manga which was really of my liking: *o*

Hourou Musuko

Original Name: 放浪息子

Alternative Names (English): The Transient Son, The Wandering Son

Author: Shimura Takako

Released in 2002

Magazine: Comic Beam

Publishing Company: Enter Brain

Genres: Drama, Gender Bender, Slice of Life, Romance, School Life, Seinen

Summary:

Fifth grader Nitori Shuuichi is a rather feminine boy who looks good in girl's clothes, enjoys things like baking, and tends to have mostly female friends. He and his sixth grade sister Maho transfer to a new school, where Shuuichi ends up sitting next to Takatsuki Yoshino, a tomboy that he gets along well with. Soon, they both discover each other's secrets, and find that they are not so different; in fact, they are very much the same.

Neither Shuuichi nor Takatsuki can tell anybody their secret....

By today July 26, 2012 this manga have 111 chapters, 14 volumes released, and is still ongoing.

            I started to read this manga just a few hours ago instead of finishing cleaning my room, I was a bit bored and I didn’t wanted to work on my IB projects, I thought that reading manga would be interesting, but I wanted a story different from what I usually read. I like gender bender, but before I just have read stories of girls that acted like boys, but I thought that to read stories about boys like girls would be interesting. So I entered a manga page and wrote  ‘gender bender’ on the Search bar. A really large list showed up from female and male gender bender.

            I started to read the titles, and see the pictures of each comic, then read the descriptions; some of them had just been released, so then I started to also look at the status of the comics. 

            I read two One-Shot mangas, I read the Daughter of Devil manga (from The Evil Vocaloid Music saga) which hasn’t been completed, and saw some mangas that I’ve already read (I’m planning to make recommendation of those in the future).

I saved some mangas in my list ‘To read’ but this one caught my attention, so I say, ‘why not read it now’ .

          Once I started to read it I couldn’t stop, I really loved the story. Because at first they introduce you children, but those children grow up, and you can see how they become teenagers. Also it is really interesting because the Kids as they reach puberty, they are in searching of what they are and what they want to be in the future, they commit some stupid mistakes that I’m sure most of us did at that age: have they fights, have romances, and everything that can happen on that part from the road of life.

          In the description of the manga just Nitori-kun and Takatsu-chan are mentioned, the girly boy and the tomboy. But there are other characters almost as important as them, whom without them, the story would be also meaningless. Those other adults and children help Nitori and Takatsu to keep up going on what they wanted to be and do, some of those other characters are or were the same as them. Also the families from all the characters have influence in the story, because in case of Takatsu, her mother wanted her to be feminine; while in case of Nitori, his family didn’t matter if he was boy or wanted to be a girl. The same happens with the families of the other characters. Some of those families, I think I would like to have a family like that, that would cheer for you and let you be what you want (I like to wear boys clothing and act like a boy sometimes, but other times I want to wear skirts, dresses, and be feminine. So I wanted to cut my hair like a boy and buy a wig).

          The drawing are good, thought is not the kind of drawings I like the most. I told you the story is really good, I haven’t finished it, but I loved what I’ve read. Sadly I can’t say anymore about the manga because I don’t have more information, as I just started since a few hours ago. But I REALLY, REALLY recommend you to read the story, it is really good!!!!

Well, I’m really excited by now, I think that after posting this I would be able to calm down. I wish you had liked it.

どうもありがとうございました！ ^_^

みんな！　良い一日を！ 

I wish you to have a really nice upcoming weekend,

to be healthy,

to be happy,

to be successful.

GBU a lot!

Good Luck! (if you believe in luck)

PS: here I leave you some pictures from Daughter of the Devil manga, if you has already watched the musical videos, and know the story of The Evil Vocaloid saga, read the manga. If you haven’t seen any of them yet, then read the manga and watch the videos. The manga makes you understand some things that are not clear or not even mentioned in the videos.

Manhwa: Love in the Mask

Hello everyone,

How are you?

As always, I wish you're doing fine, and healthy (I'm sick again);

but now I'll make you another question and is…          

have you ever been in love?, had you ever dream or known of an impossible love? … 

if it is yes, or maybe, then I will recommend you to read the cute manhwa that I bring to show you today: Love in the Mask.

I decided to post about this beautiful manhwa because on Tuesday(Feb 14) it would be Valentine's Day or Day of Friendship and Love, a day in which everybody(or most people) wants to be in love, or find somebody to love, or be with the beloved ones. And as the title and the summary below says this Korean comic is a love story:

Love in the Mask Manhwa

MangaFox or EatManga

Original Name: 가면속의 사랑

Pronunciation: gamyeonsog-ui salang

Story created by: Han Yu-rang

Released in 2009

Magazine: nnim

Publishing Company: Kkonnimm

Genres: Drama, Comedy, Romance, School Life, Shoujo, Action, Harem, Martial Arts, Gender Bender, Tragedy, Mistery

Summary: Hyun Bin has to live surviving as a man. Fate has come to trap her compassion in a mask like a bird blazing only in it's cage...

From various Asian Comics pages: Hyun-bin grew up under the cruel hand of street gangsters, selling gum in the subway with her little brother. However, after an unfortunate event, Hyun-bin runs away and is taken in by a businessman to be trained to become a bodyguard. However, she must hide that she is female, and pose as a man. And so, for eight years, she grows up as a cold, male bodyguard. But is this how she'll be forever?

From Tinte: Suh Hyun-bin grew up under the cruel hand of street gangsters, but after her little brother dies, Hyun-bin runs away and is taken in by a rich family to be trained to become a bodyguard. However, she must hide that she is female, and pose as a man. And so, for eight years, she grows up as a cold, male, and bodyguard. It looks like she'll be this way forever--until a fateful encounter with Lee Yun-ha shakes her very foundations, and leaves her conflicting with herself, as her feelings of love clash against her feelings of duty.

By fall/autumn of 2011 the manhwa was already completed.

This story will make you cry a lot, believe me. The story is sometimes so sad that you'll feel bad for the main characters. Is a really good story, thought the drawing are the one that my friends usually call "generic manhwa", except the end, which I classify as typical Mexican dramas ending.

If you start read it, you will be so fascinated that you won't stop reading it, not even in the ending even if you already have theories of how the story will end.

This story does also have the common element in Korean stories: Business, gangs, a pretty poor girl and a rich handsome boy; but it does also have another fact which is what caught my attention and it is the gender bender, from after reading this story I got a certain fascination for reading gender bender stories, xD.

Another thing is that this Korean Comic has many characters that if you want you can do a characters' map.

I wanted to post about this manhwa since the past semester, but I couldn't first because my computer became trash, and then because it was on the US. But by this manhwa is by which I got to know many other Korean Comics as it was on the top or most popular list, even if it wasn't the first one I started to read. Also I wanted to publish of it now because there's had been many weeks since I published an entry with information of a manhwa. 

Thanks for reading; I wish you'd like it, have a nice upcoming week, GBU a lot. Good bye. :3

PS: I wish you could be with someone on Feb 14, and not be a Forever Alone on that day.

Manga: Dawn of the Arcana/Reimei no Arcana

Hello Again, everybody!
I wish you’re fine, now that I’m sure everyone has come back to classes again, so we have to wait until Easter or Spring break, and then until summer vacations, yeah!

Anyway, today I’m going to present you another manga, Reimei no Arcana, which have the description below. And I’m going to say thanks to Anonymous(I don’t think that any of them would be reading my blog, and I hope none of the world governmental organization would read this)because of what they did by hacking the FBI webpage and some business official webpages too; though I know this might have some economic impact in short or long term, but I’m still thankful because the FBI closed our beloved webpage MegaUpload(including the other MegaPages, in Mexico we called it MegaTodo, xD), and if you know someone who works for this organization say thanks from my part(I’m nicknamed Hanabi No Shoujo or Hada389). The past weekend I wanted to go to the city center walking through Monterrey Streets with a poster saying’ “Anonymous, Thank You, Muchas Gracias” XD. I’m really crazy, also if you know any of them say also thanks from part of the club El Divino Culto de la Sagrada NUEZ (The Divine Worship of the Sacred NUT) from which most of its members (Shushus, Onya, and Nattos) agreed with me on doing that but none of us could do so.

This past weeks I’ve been living without computer, and I discovered that I’m more addicted to mangas than I thought, I just recently discovered it is for me like a drug, TT_TT this is sad. And if I managed to survive without reading mangas in computer is because a friend of mine lent me some mangas like Pandora Hearts, and my mother finally allowed me to buy a Shounen Jump Magazine(which I didn’t wanted to read until I knew I needed to do so, but on Monday I finished reading the magazine :S). Yesterday I read a whole manga volume number 5 of Pandora Hearts in the bus on my way home (Peripheral route 206).
However, leaving that aside, let’s begin with Reimei no Arcana.

DAWN OF THE ARCANA Manga
Original name: 黎明のアルカナ (Reimei no Arcana)

Pronunciation: reimei no arukana
Story created by Toma Rei
Genres: Drama, Fantasy, Harem, Historical, Romance, Shoujo
Released in 2009
Magazine: Cheese!
Publishing company: Shogakukan

Summary:

(From Baka-Updates) Sharing a single island, the countries of Senan and Belquat have been enemies forever. At times their bouts of war are briefly stilled by a royal marriage between princes and princesses of each land. But such unions usually end in blood and the battles begin anew. Our story takes place during the most recent time of potential peace with a marriage between Prince Caesar of Belquat and Princess Nakaba of Senan. The two are nothing alike and Caesar's possessive ways seem likely to damn the relationship. But Nakaba is no delicate flower and the people of Belquat may have bitten off more than they can chew.

 

(From manga scans pages) "On that day, I became the enemy's possession," Nakaba thought as she stood there, knowing her destiny was to be married for convenience to keep the peace between her country Senan and Prince Caesar's country, Belquat.

Between the two countries there has been a constant war for 200 years and Nakaba has become a sacrificial goat for her country despite the discrimination to her red hair and to the 'sub-person' (half-human, half-animal) Loki, who is her only friend and attendant at Caesar's estranged palace.
But what will Nakaba do when she foresees an event pertaining to Prince Caesar's demise? Will she save him? Or let him die in return to all the hate directed towards her by the people of Belquat?

By today, January 25, 2012 it is still ongoing and has released 9 or 10 manga volumes.

This Manga have a beautiful story that caught you since you start reading until you finish the last released chapter that you will want to read more chapters and maybe wouldn’t be able to sleep well because of thinking what would happen next inside the story (at least that happened to me). And is interesting how its character evolution in personality as the story passes, and also how the story environment change a lot when war was going to begin. I don’t want to say much, because then I think I’ll be spoiling the story.

Thanks for reading, have a nice week and weekend. GBU, goos luck!

PS: the summaries were taken from MangaFox, MangaHere and from Baka-Updates (BU staff. "Reimei no Arcana ". Baka-Updates Manga. Baka-Updates, 2002-2012. Web. 20 Jan. 2012. <http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=40067>.) I don’t own any of the pictures or other media information in this entry; all the rights go to their respective owners. Sorry for any grammar or spelling mistake, I’m still learning English.
Eat Healthy, consume more fruits and vegetables, and buy pockys (they are delicious).
This has nothing to do with mangas, but I think it is interesting, so I’m posting ‘bout it: In some country of Latin America, someone was found dead in their house. According to the autopsy, the person died on Christmas and nobody notices the absence of the person until someone missed that person which was on January 13. I think this is really sad, to die alone and not having anyone to remember you, also someone commented “FOREVER ALONE: being one, how far can it get?” (Something like that, but obviously in Spanish). 

Manga: Karin / Chibi Vampire (Halloween)

Hello everyone,

How are you doin’? I wish you are fine, and your life is quite or relaxed.

As in one of my past posts, I’m really tired, and want to take a rest; I had more problems that I thought I would have on the past weekend. ºдº  (problematic and gross)

            Anyway! As everybody knows, Halloween is near, maybe you're preparing your costume to wear on that famous date and planning a party or planning to attend a party. I hate Halloween ¬_¬, but I bet you love it or at least like it,  so today I’m going to present you a Japanese Comic about vampires, OѡO but no the typical story of vampires, and not of the normal vampires that everybody knows: KARIN(かりん , In America is best known as Chibi Vampire) created by Kagesaki Yuna:

       Maka Karin is a cute, cheerful, friendly, high school girl, who loves sunshine, cooks with garlic, and has a part-time job as a waitress. Everything in her life is pretty average, except for one thing, Karin is a vampire. She lives with her parents and two siblings who are also vampires. But among them, she's different. Once a month, she experiences an intense bleeding from her nose, because her body overproduces blood; so if there's a person near, she doesn't take the blood from the human, instead she give him/her blood. If things are done right, this can be a positive experience that benefits the victim as much as the vampire. 
However one day as school she meets Usui Kenta, the new student, and gets the feeling of a nosebleed. Also he gets suspicious about her, can he tell that she is a vampire? Karin must keep in secret what she and her family is from human society.

It seems like she is always involved in problems and that she never know how to do things right!

          As in the summary can be seen, this is a very funny manga, it is filled at first with comedy, and some volumes later with romance(a romedy as my friends call it, the romantic-comedy). e.a What's fun at first, is obviously Karin's nosebleeds, then her reactions when Kenta approach her, and when her vampire family is introduced(the most funny character of her family is her grandmother, also the Maka family is really random xD). What caught my attention to read this manga was the fact that Karin was different of other vampires, because her family was like any other vampires that can't be in the sun, eat or smell garlic, and drink blood.

The genres of this manga are Comedy, Drama, School Life, Shounen, Romance, Supernatural, Fantasy, and Adventure. The story environment is principally based in Karin High School and working life at the beginning, and as the story develops it focuses more on Karin relationship with her family and Maka's family history(which is really interesting and complicated). The romance is seen, as I’ve said before, as story develops, and everything is because both of the ones that become the main characters had a secret in common. :3

            As other mangas, this comic have an anime, but the cartoon is not really based in the story, it have a lot of Ecchi, so some things are seen in anime as sexual oriented, and not in the innocent way that are seen in the manga. Also if you prefer to watch the anime, it is shorter in comparison to the manga and, as YamaNade, doesn't tell the complete story, which is really sad because this story have a really beautiful ending. When I was reading the end of the manga I was all excited and almost crying(it looks like I'm not a fanatic ¬¬ ), I loved this manga, it became one of my favorites after I read the end, even this is one of the few Asian comics I've read and aren't still ongoing. So I highly recommend you to read it, you'll not regret reading it.


Thanks for everything,
I wish you'd liked it,
sorry for taking so much time in finish this post, I had a lot of homework.

 Goodbye everyone,

Have a nice Day,

GBU all!

Karin anime 1st ending:

Manhua: Knight Princess

Hi everybody!!!

How are you all?, I wish you are all fine and healthy ^ᴗ^ (I’m sick right now ¬¬)

            Today, in difference to the other days, I'm going to finally present you a Manhua from China, remember that also Vietnamese and Thai comics are called Manhuas. :D

The Manhua I'm going to present you today is… Knight Princess(Qishi Gongzhu; 騎士公主; 骑士公主) also known as Cavalier Princess, written and drawn by Cen Xiao Jing.

Qui Shi Gong Zhu first volume cover

The environment in which this story is developed is a beautiful and fantastic world created by its Mangaka, in the palace of a country named Bocinia with an Arabian architecture and dressing, but at the same time with oriental traditions from China:

            Yanshi is a girl that had wandered with her father for fourteen years, and just recently has discovered that her mother is actually Bocinia's current queen, she was separated from her when she was just an infant. Now, in order to see her mother, Yanshi and her father enter the palace, but not in a normal way: she entered disguising herself as a boy, working as bodyguard, and her father crossdressed, working as a maid; however, she never thought that she would run into the Princess of Bocinia, and then become her bodyguard by mistake… OɜO

Principal characters as children

            The genres of this Manhua are Shoujo, Drama, Comedy, Fantasy, Historical, Romance, and Gender Bender.  With regard to the characters, in the beginning is just Yashi and her father, when they finally got into the palace more characters take place in the story, some of them also becoming very important in the developing of the plot (like Abelie, Salsuke, and Archie), making romance take place in this story.  e.a

            This Manhua caught my attention since the moment I saw the summary from the a manga web page, this is the first Manhua I had read, it is really interesting, a good story with good drawings, and also it caught my attention because the drawing style from this Chinese comic looks somehow like the drawing style of Tanemura Arina(a japanese Mangaka), it made me remember Sakura-hime Kaden, xD .  The story is really cool and beautiful, since you start reading it, you won't stop reading it. >-<

If you are interested in Asian Comics, this is one of the best options to start, because is really short, sadly it is short because the Mangaka had some personal problems and  was in a emotional depression  –_– ᵁ , so they stopped to release the comic, and the end of the story was published as a novel, and you can find various translations of the summary of the end at Mangafox.com forum(Knight Princess Important News, page 8).

 

The two princess and their knights(names from left to right):
Yashi-Salsuke , Archie-Abelie

Thanks for reading, I wish you had liked it,

Goodbye, GBU, have a nice day~! :3
