Skip Beat! Manga gets TV Animation this Fall
Yoshiki Nakamura’s shoujo manga Skip Beat! gets an anime adaptation this coming Fall (article: ANN). For those who didn’t know this manga yet, its about a girl named Kyoko who follows her childhood friend Sho to Tokyo in his dreams on becoming a star. Kyoko became a housekeeper and caretaker of Sho there until she overhears him dismissing her as a nobody. She then pledges that she’ll become a singer to defeat him and kick his popstar ass out of showbiz for good. Kiyoko Sayama, the director of Vampire Knight, will be directing the animators of Hal Film Maker (Pretear and Princess Tutu).
I think this has a unique shoujo storyline. I find it a bit odd in a good way since instead of the girl falling head-over-heels for the guy, she is pissed with the guy and she hates him so bad! I’m definitely looking forward for this one and adding it to my 2008-must-look-out-for list.
Boku Ni Natta Watashi – Chapter 12
I know that there’s some people who compares Boku no Natta Watashi to Hana Kimi but I think that BNNW stands on its own. BNNW is more of a mature-sexy-school-comedy-romance…
Its another chapter of gender-bender comedy and romance!
New Persona 4 Famitsu Scan!!!
The new Famitsu scan features another character Naoto Shirogane. He is kind of a famous detective and has a persona called Sukunahikona. Naoto wears a cap and he looks a little like the main character from Persona 3. He uses a revolver. His persona appears to be a little creature wearing formal clothes. His VA is Park Romi(Ueki from Law of Ueki and if I’m not mistaken, Temari from Naruto…) Besides from the new playable character, two new(or maybe not) Social Links were introduced representing the Justice arcana. They are your uncle, Ryoutarou Douzima and your cousin, Nanako Douzima.

Here’s again my personal corner of my rantings, blabberings and musings on the IN stuff…
-The epic feudal manga InuYasha closes takes its final bow on its 588th chapter. Wow that’s a lot. I honestly don’t follow the manga and I’ll admit that this final chapter is like, the first InuYasha manga chapter that I’ve read… but I watched the anime… The story ended quite ok continuing the looooong distance relationship between InuYasha and Kagome, Sango and Miroku stayed forever in love, and mostly everyone gets a happy ending. Its quite typical since its “good victors against evil” and “girl and boy in love” but its very satisfying for me.
– I just bought some DVDs of Shigofumi ~stories of last letter~ and Hayate No Gotoku. I’m totally looking forward to watch them if there’s a homework-less day or in the weekend for a marathon…
– I just read the chapter 5 of ToraDora and I think that the series is so far so good! I always end up wanting more every chapter of it because the story is so cute!

Vampire Knight 11: Party All Night Long!
Wow, thanks to Shoku-dan’s fast subbing, I was able to blog this one early:)
[:I’ll show you a sweet dream…:]
☆Musings and Blabber☆
– First of all, I wanna greet my dad and all the daddies in the world a Happy Happy Fathers’ Day! I also wanna greet anime dads like Death Scythe(Soul Eater, the pic on the left) too!
– Next, I really wonder why the 10th episode of Special A is not yet out on subs… Maybe they got tired and dropped it.. I hope not or at least sub the 10th episode then drop it :P… Just wanna see the dark side of Ryuu..
– And speaking of subs, I can’t wait for Kure-nai episode 11!!! I’m so gonna watch it the second I got the torrent in my hands! To-Love-Ru 11 is another one, where my fave character Yami gets some screentime!
– Lastly, thanks again for those who are reading, viewing, commenting and supporting(?) my blog!!!
Thelma Aoyama – My Dear Friend
This is the ED theme of Shion no Ou. Honestly, I don’t really watch the show but I really love this song. Her voice is very smooth and nice to listen to. This song tops the anime singles chart for the first half of 2008 (complete list on Japanese blog: MUSIC ROOM)
Manga Hunting: Kaichou wa Maid-sama
Yeah, maid-fetish is REALLY popular these days…
This is the first manga of Fujiwara Hiro and I must say that this is such a great start for her. The main heroine is very cute but I must say that she is very awesome. She kicks some a**. The main guy is cool and compliments the girl’s personality. The art is very very clean. I must say that this is an insanely crazy and funny manga and somewhat reminded me of Ouran. The maid cafe has its own motifs every time. Besides from Ouran, it also reminded me of SA, since there’s school competition between the two leads.
