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,

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.

Manga: Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge

こんにちわみんな！(Konnichiwa Minna!)

元気ですか？(Genki desu ka?)

いつもよう、私はあなたに大丈夫な望む．(Itsumo you, watashi wa anata ni daijoubu na nozomu.)

Today I'm going to present you another manga, right now I'm in a Japanese-like-mood, xD , also, I'm happy as in the past week, because today there were just 2 homeworks (Math and English), so I read a chapter of the Spanish class book "Cómo Agua para Chocolate" and then I played 3 games at the JA Titan game, and I lost all of them. That was frustrating ¬¬ .

         Anyway, the manga that I bring today to present you now is ‪Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge (ヤマトナデシコ七変化;  you can call it YamaNade, is way much shorter) created by Hayakawa Tomoko. This manga have different names at America and Europe such as The Wallflower, Perfect Girl Evolution(PGE), My Fair Lady, The Perfect Lady, etc., the closest translation to the literal meaning is "Various changes to become the ideal(perfect) woman(lady)", :3 as the title says, it is about to turn a girl into a "perfect lady": 

         In a gorgeous, spacious mansion, four handsome high-school boys live there, renting the house to a widow rich woman who is always traveling searching for a new love. Suddenly, one day she offers to give them the mansion rent for free for three years if they manage to turn her wallflower niece (which was going to become the lady's heir) into a "perfect lady", but if they failed, the rent price will triplicate. However, the four bishounen did never imagined what kind of girl they are going to meet, and how problematic it will be to deal with her because she wouldn't want to change because of the trauma she have since middle school after being rejected and called "ugly" by the boy she confessed, and now had become a gloomy, agoraphobic, horror movie lover, fashion-illiterate reclusive girl, who tends to break into explosive nosebleeds whenever she sees anyone attractive; this was more than what they expected, they needed a miracle to succeed in their mission for the free rent…

         This story is really interesting: full of comedy, also of romance. At first what would make you laugh is the reaction the bishounen had when they saw Sunako(the lady's niece), and then of what they do trying to turn her a lady and integrate her into the high society life, or what she does when she is excited or angry, her reactions are also really weird and funny. I love this manga almost as much as One Piece, is really one of my favorites >-< . The genres of this comic are Shoujo, Harem, Slice of life, Comedy, Romance, and School Life. The plot gets more and more interesting as chapters passes and it is not the typical comedy or stupid love story you will always see, you can't even be sure if there is really love, but in anyway you will have a good time reading this manga, thou it is a bit large. :D

         There’s also anime and dorama of this manga, but is much shorter and haven't obviously the whole story that you might misunderstand something; the manga have published right now 112 chapters of at least 40 pages each, and the anime have a little bit more of 20 episodes. I don't know much about he dorama, but when I just watched the first episode I didn't wanted to watch anymore, it changed the original mangaka's story :S (example: the rich lady had a son, which in the manga isn't true, because then the heir of all her richness would be the son, not the niece). Also in the manga, the mangaka tells you some of her experience and tells you about her little cute cat, which she adores really much (some of her experiences will make you want to make a facepalm, the reasons have to be inferred from what you may read).

Well, that's all for now, I wish you liked this post.

Have nice and relaxed weekend, (mine is going to be stressful)

Goodbye, GBU!   ^.^　ありがとうございました！

Sunako hits Kyouhei. Takenaga, Yuki and Ranmaru tries to stop her.

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！ :)

Manga: Hadashi de Bara wo Fume

Hello everyone!   :3

All for Money. 裸足でバラを踏め Volume 1

        Today I'm going to present you another manga, this one is Hadashi de Bara wo Fume(裸足でバラを踏め; literally Barefoot Stepping on Roses, but better known as Stepping on Roses) created by Rinko Ueda, this is other of my favorite mangas; I recommend it because it have a beautiful story, at first is just the sad story about a poor girl, but then it becomes a dramatic and romantic story.  ❦

      This manga about a girl that lived at the Meiji Era(at the time of the imperial restoration of Japan, when the country started to open up to the rest of the world) named Kitamura Sumi with her non-blood-related sisters and brothers. Her older brother always left her with the children to go to work(most of the times he lose the money at bets), also they have a huge debts and one of her little brothers got sick recently. On day, in order to get money and protect her brothers, she went wandering on the streets trying to sell herself for 2 thousand yen(actually ¥3 million) to pay all the debts, but nobody seemed to want to buy her at that price. She was going to get hit by a drunk man when a young rich man appeared and saved her, accepting to pay the 2 thousand yen. Both of them rode a taxi to his house, where he proposed her to be his wife, but he would not love her nor she was to fall in love with him, he asked her "Are you willing to throw all your love away for money?", "I'll throw it all away!". ❀

        I liked it because the heroine shows strength, not just that time, even a lot of times more, she suffered and threw everything away just to protect the people dear to her. The manga have really good drawings, and as you keep reading the story becomes and more interesting. It's genres are Shoujo, Romance, Historical, Drama, Psychological, and Slice of Life. Each chapter have more than twenty pages and have less than 80 chapters released by now, so you can read it fast.   :D

It is all for today, have a nice day, good-bye, GBU.　さようならみんな！　^_^
