Anime and Manga that are worth watching

May 7, 2008

It seems that lately I have been engrossed in my manga reading/anime watching past-time. I haven’t been doing anything aside from school and work. haha. Anyways I’ve become really addicted to anime again after a two years abstinence from it. (muahaha) So let’s get to it, I think quite a few people have heard some of these title already but I still want to put my review on them.

I shall start with the manga’s that I am currently reading. Right now I am awaiting and SEARCHING for manga scans for DESIRE CLIMAX. It’s not H…e..n..you get the point. Its ECCHI (kinda sounds like sketchy) which means lots of sexual content (I have just recently learned from reading these kind of shoujo manga that ECCHI means “to make love” ^__^). I am also reading LOVE MONSTER which falls under the same category, however its not as intense as the former title.

DESIRE CLIMAX has a really good plot to it. There’s actually a lot of substance in the story which keeps you going. For some people, it may just be another perverted manga but the story makes up for all the perviness. Honestly I thought at first it was all going to be ‘this and that’ but the story is THICK! I’ll break it down for ya. The main character, Mio is of poor family she has a sick mother who is in the hospital, and a younger brother, who suffers from sister complex. She is forced to work since she has to support her family. One day a Man steals a kiss from her and he tells her that he “bought” her and she is not HIS property.

RIght now the story already sounds good, but wait…the guy who stole the kiss from her is none other than their landlord’s son! So now she has to work as a maid in his household. How sad eh? aha, but get this Prince (the main guy) does unthinkable sexual stuff to Mio…oddly enough whenever she says NO he still keeps going and it happens quiet alot in this series. She learns to love him in the end.

haha. Substance eh? Some people might think not. Anyways if you’re looking for a good SHOJOU manga to read you definitely have to try this. 

Screenshots can be seen if you simply scroll down to the end of the post. (Don’t get a nose bleed now)

So we move on to the next semi-ecchi manga I was talking about, “Love Monster”. Its a good anime for real, also got substance. THe story is quite intresting and the love story is cute. You’d never believe how young mangakas draw their heroine these days. *shakes head* I wish they’d make them look more feminine like Mio in Desire Climax…honestly.

Anyway the story revolves around Hiyo, a normal girl who is fate to enter a not so normal school. She is rejected from the highschool she applied to..why well cuz she failed the entrance exam. She mopes around and finds out that she is invited to attend school at SM High.  Turns out SM stands for St. Monster so all of the student attending are monsters. Especially the student union president, he’s a Crow the highest rankend monster in the Monster World. He announces to the whole school that Hiyo is to become his wife. After that a whole series of events follows as we travel along the path of Hiyo and Kouro’s romance. (ehhh?!) isn’t that romantic.

I might add as a side note…I’ve become quite the pervert after reading these titles. *shame on me* Irregardles, the story is really quite entertaining.

Now..let’s see Okay so I will leave the ecchi manga aside and go to the Action type now. I’m both supporters of shoujo and shonen type anime. I like having best of both worlds. I’m sure you’ve heard D. Gray Man, there’s nothing new there aside from the fact that the new chapters are getting really really interesting. I find myself getting really anxious as I wait for the next release of the newest chapter…I’m fidgeting with angst right now. It’s really hard to control which is why I started looking for something else to read to occupy my time. See D. Gray Man was a rebound anime for me, since I was having Gakuen Alice withdrawal.

D. Gray Man RoX my boxers…for real.

Okay so after suffering from yey another withdrawal I had to find another anime to satisfy my hunger, so I tried watching Vampire Knight. Sure enough I was hooked..stupid hot looking anime guys WHY WHY?! Aren’t real men enough to give me a Myocardial Infarction? (Reminds me of Choi Siwon all of a sudden) So as the the name states, this anime is about Vampires. Story is really good and the characters have lots of good points to them. I think you guys will like it.

I now turn your attention to Gakuen Alice, a strangely cute anime with a good plot. Before I was soooo over reluctant to try out this anime but ALAS you should not judge a book by its cover. The animation gave me the impression that it would be one of those animes like Sister Princess or Mahoromatic…not at all. This anime was so good I had to read the manga after watching the anime. So now I suffer from it because they come out with new chapters ever 2nd of the month (I think, that’s what I’ve read)……

So there you have it…my long suffering. Anime kills me everytime, I even got excited watching Okane Ga nai…wahhhh o.O (I’ll leave you to search it up I’m too embarassed) and Jonjou Romantica…sigh* shojou is just too much for my heart. I think I will have a heart attack one day. One of these days…
