popkin16School sucks, and is sucking out my soul. Slowly. In the last week of May, I'll be pretty much Zombified because of finals, numerous papers I've got to write, and a board game to create. =.= BUT THEN IT'S SUMMER VACATION~ THREE MONTHS OF VACATION.
I read the manga Skip Beat, and I adored it! You should check out this post to learn more about it -- and perhaps even read it? The fandom is small, but I'd love to have a friend to fangirl over it with. I've seen the anime, and I liked that too (though the manga is much better. The anime ends very, very abruptly).
I really recommend Skip Beat -- the fandom has zero yaoi, but the main het pairing is so awesome that I don't care.Yoshiki Nakamura's manga are more plot than romance; the development of the characters comes first. The characters don't immediately fall in love, and with scenes like this (the more Ren sparkles, the angrier he actually is, hence Kyoko's reaction), and sound effects like "pudding", you'll be giggling and cheering Kyouko on! According to One Manga, the same author who does Skip Beat doesTokyo Crazy Paradise, which I've read before and recommend if you're not looking for a lighthearted series. It had me sobbing. Some of the pages aren't translated either (though what's going on is still understandable). The artwork isn't the prettiest in TCP, but it's not something you'd want to give your eyes away over.
*wills herself not to talk of her favorite manga series*
I'm reading The Dresden Files, a good series with an awesomely grumpy main character. He's also quite hilarious -- one of my favorite parts so far is when the main character, Harry, gets a concussion and answers his phone to find a woman he had met earlier in the chapter on the other end. She starts talking to him, but the first words out of his mouth are, "Are you naked?" It led me to discover that trying to suppress laughter means you'll make odd snorting noises.
I think there was something else I wanted to say, but I can't remember now. Oh well, must not have been important.
