Hola todas las personitas!

Hola a todos,

Este es mi primer post en español,  XD (ya lo han de saber, CLARAMENTE)

Espero que estén todos bien, que ojalá ustedes si hayan descansado en sus “vacaciones” de semana santa, no los hayan desmadrugado, ni desvelado, ni hayan tenido que quedarse haciendo tareas -_- .

Aunque sé que simplemente no tiene nada que ver con lo que se trata el blog: comics asiáticos.

Y ahorita mismo debería estar haciendo tarea que no hice porque me quedé dormida dos horas :S ,

Lo que hace desvelarse el día anterior haciendo tareas….

Anyway! (Como sea!)

BLOOD  C

También la vez pasada quería hacer una entrada en español sobre otras páginas que igual tratan comics asiáticos, pero más que recomendaciones, son sponsors y releasers de los comics, es decir son grupos que compran (y lo escanean o consiguen el raw) el comic, para posteriormente editar, traducir, publicar, y permitir que lleguen a nuestras tan “preciadas” computadoras personales o de escritorio frente a nosotros para que podamos leer tan bellas o geniales historias creadas por personas en otra parte del mundo (en la cual la mayoría de nosotros no tenemos los recursos para ir, lo que es ser pobre TT_TT).

América Latina estilo Hetalia

Este blog me gustaría también hacerlo algo personal, pues creo ya había explicado, que este blog fue originalmente creado con el simple propósito escolar de cumplir con un proyecto semestral de mi clase de  High Level IB English. Para nosotros en México (algunas regiones) sólo le decimos las clase de Inglés Avanzado BI, punto, no la llamamos Superior, a como mate o física en BI: Mate Nivel Medio, Mate Nivel Superior;  a muchos compañeros les dio miedo saber que llevábamos inglés en nivel superior igual que lengua y literatura de lengua hispana, xD . Para aquellas criaturas que no sepan bien que es BI o IB, estas son Bachillerato Internacional o International Baccalaureate en inglés; soy actualmente una IB student, pero pienso regresar a Bachillerato Bicultural, y estoy haciendo mi EE(Extended Essay) o Monografía en Física :D , aunque llevo Ambientales ¬_¬ .
El proyecto consistió en crear un blog de tema libre y crear publicaciones semanales si era posible, y una vez al mes debíamos hacer una investigación de ese tema más profunda, de un cierto rango de palabras, con citas MLA, y todo ese mugrerío. Ejemplo de estos son los posts de CLAMP y el de la SHOUNEN JUMP. Aunque ya igual, al final, el último parcial el profe ya ni checaba las entradas, le valieron e igual nos ponía 100, xD , que triste. (nota extra: en Facebook existe una página de IB memes, están geniales, más los de historia ns, mate ns, TOK, y física ns.)

esto me pasó con H.P.

Más ahora, como ya hace meses que terminó el semestre pasado, y este semestre ya está casi en su término, pues empezé a publicar otras cosas tales como Cómo llegué a conocer los Comics Asiáticos (en inglés). Repito para mí, debería estar haciendo tarea, no he terminado ESCUCHA ni OP, la tarea #5 de mate, el proyecto de Info, y me faltan 400 palabras de Mono -_- .  Oh, y al fin empecé a leer Harry Potter, nunca había visto una película completa y nunca había leído un solo libro; los empecé hace un mes, leo un libro por semana, pero creo que estos últimos me tomarán dos, porque eso me ha llevado la Orden del Fénix, y voy a comenzar el capítulo 22.

Regulus, Severus, Lupin, James, Sirius, Peter, Lily, Lucius.

Aunque viéndolo de otro lado, leo los libros alternos en inglés y español, así que practico mi lectura y comprensión en ambos idiomas. Y si bien, obvio me puse a buscar cómo eran los personajes en la película (no he visto las película aún), y pues encontré fotos de los personajes en estilo anime, obvio ahí va el fanatismo Otaku, :B , y nunca puede faltar alguna chica yaoísta o chico yurísta que sube una foto estilo yaoi-hentai o yuri-hentai de los personajes.

Ahora creo que debería irme a dormir, pero igual aquí anda mi hermano escuchando musica felizmente, xD . Sé que vos no os incumben mis propios problemas y pensamientos, aunque de igual manera los pongo :P .

Pero bueno, aún sigo sin laptop (se volvió a ‘fregar’, el disco duro, y la tarjeta del internet inalámbrico).

Muchas gracias a aquellos que leen este blog medio abandonado, medio sin-sentido, x3 .

Que tengan una bonita semana, espero que les vaya muy bien, terminen sus deberes a tiempo, puedan tener tiempo de esparcimiento, pues Dios les bendiga (si creen en Dios, sino ignoren el comentario), y yo me despido. :3 nyaaa~!

PD/PS : les dejo unas bonitas fotos photoshopeadas de One Piece y Star Wars. (Now I leave you here some photoshoped pictures of One Piece and Star Wars.)

Manhua: 1/2 Prince

Hello everyone!

In this post I'm going to present you another Asian comic, but today as different of the other latest post this one is about a Taiwanese Comic, they are also called manhuas, and this one is named ½ Prince.

First, as cultural reference, I've noticed that usually Asians call half and write as "½" people who change from girl to boy or from boy to girl(as other example, Ranma ½).  And well, this is a very fun and interesting story (as most comics I've recommended you, xD). Believe me, once you start reading it you won't stop reading it until you reach the last released chapter and you'll be laughing like crazy most of the first chapters. Well, here is it:

cover of the
1st book of the novel

       ½ Prince

Original Name: ½ 王子

Pronunciation: Èr fēnzhī yī Wáng zǐ

Story created by Yu Wo and drawn by Choi Hong Chong

Released in 2004

Magazine: Dragon Youth Comics(龍少年 Lóng Shàonián)

Publishing Company: Tong Li Publishing

Genres: Gender Bender, Comedy, Adventure, School Life, Shoujo, Shounen, Action, Romance, Sci-Fi, and Harem.

                  Summaries:
 

     From MangaFox:  It is the year 2100 A.D. and humans have invented a virtual reality game called "Second Life". Feng Lan, due to a bet with her brother, vows to beat him in the game without using her feminine charm to attract others to help her. Thus, she becomes the first transgendered character in "Second Life" - in other words, she is the only person who has a gender in-game opposite from hers in real life. As her popularity rises due to her looks and bloodthirsty skills, can she keep her identity a secret from her loved ones and friends?

From The Little Corner:

It is the year 2100 A.D., and humans have developed a virtual reality game with a realism level of 99%. Feng Lan, due to a bet with her twin brother, vows to succeed in playing the game without using her "female benefits." Due to this, she becomes the first and only female to play as a male character in "Second Life." As her infamy rises as a bloodthirsty warrior, can she keep her identity a secret from her real life acquaintances whom she has beaten up?

 
   From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
 …The protagonist is a 19 year-old female student named Feng Lan, who is challenged into playing the nearly arrived game Second Life by her twin brother. As the first person to log into the game, Feng Lan is given a wish which she uses to give herself the privileged of creating a male avatar whom she names as Prince. In game, she strives to prove to her brother that she can be a capable player.

By today March 14, 2012 the manhua is still ongoing. The manhua is based on a Taiwanese novel with the same name.

The comic, apart from having a good story, also have good drawings (there’s bishies :P) and it is not much different from the original story, though the drawings of the manhua might not be as good as the drawings of the novel covers.

There might be many characters, and maybe you would want to do a character map. The chapters are not commonly released, so if you read it and reach the end, you’ll have to wait at least 2 and half months to read the next chapter (that’s somehow tiring and frustrating).

The novel have already finished, so if you want to read it, you can read it complete, there are not original Englis translations, the novel is just in Chinese, but you can find some fan translations.

Thanks for read; I wish you had liked it.

GBU, good-bye, have a nice week!

PS: Sorry for not posting for many weeks, but on those past weeks I had a lot of homework and projects also my computer hard-drive stop functioning, again. So I need vacations or classes break to go again to the US.

And as I had a lot of things to do, I barely could read the updates from my favorite Asian Comics and I couldn’t read any new manga, except for Psyren from which I bought a Shounen Jump magazine for $90 MX and some classmate from Escucha lend me Pandora Hearts manga volumes from 1 to 7(I read them on the bus on the way from school to my house, xD).

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).
