Hayate no gotoku #20

Blogged by on Saturday July 25th, 2009 at 5:36 pm in English, Hayate no Gotoku, Manga (spoilers) | 0 Comments »

Been a long time without manga posts.

And joy on earth, though I’ve almost forgotten about it, the newest Hayate volume got released in japan last week. Got released here yesterday, and immediately gave it a read because HAYATE CAN’T WAIT.

hayate20_0001
This cover is HAWT (Hamzawa-san).

And since every new Hayate release is a major event to me, here is the obligatory random scans post. Well, compared to previous Hayate posts, I don’t really have that much to post this time. Actually, somewhat like the previous volume, this book was a ‘transition’ volume. The ‘Wataru-mama arc’ ended, and the rest of the book is about the crew getting ready and gathering in Greece for what will probably be the most important arc of the manga and which would probably starts in next volume (I’m just hoping that this arc won’t be the last one orz).

One particular thing I want to say though :

Izumi is the one for Hayata-kun.

My love for Izumi grew a bit again after reading this book. Well, since I’m all for a Ayu x Hina pairing and that Sakuya’s chances for getting Hayate are near from 0%, I’m now totally rooting for a Hayate x Izumi ending. Ok, it gets like 1% of chance to happen but still… Izumi is MAI ENJE~RU.

Ok, time to deliver some <3s.

hayate20_0002
Wataru-mama : “Long ago, there was a person who was loved even by God. I really loved that person. You can call it ‘adoration’ too. But one day, this person got married with somebody else. It was a huge shock to me.”

At first, I thought that Wataru-mama was gay for Nagi-mama because of the flashback pic. But now that I think of it, since she doesn’t mention any name, it is also possible that she was in love with the guy Nagi-mama got married with. As for why the guy looks like Hayate… well, let’s not think too deeply about it, and just guess that it means that Nagi-mama was in love with her butler. Probably not Hayate’s big bro, or else it would make Hayate to be Nagi’s uncle XD

hayate20_0003
Nagi’s dreams are becoming more and more perverted ._.
/////

hayate20_0004
I like seeing Miki and Risa supporting Izumi’s love for Hayata-kun. Well, they mostly pick on her, and I guess that Miki would be glad to see Hayate out of the picture and not interfering with her yuri love for Hinagiku. XD But still, that’s lovely.
And Izumi’s reactions hit me with intense moe every times <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

hayate20_0005
Everybody loves Red-chan <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

hayate20_0006
Little devil Izumi.
DAMN HAWT <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Man she surprisingly gets some nice boobage, I’m in love <3 <3 <3

hayate20_0007
XD
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

hayate20_0008
After Hina-san, it’s Nagi’s turn to be turned gay by Hamzawa-san’s lovely smile <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

hayate20_0009
Hamzawa-san too finally gets her ‘snow-white’ scene. I guess it make her being a step forward Hinagiku. Well, on a side note, I get the feeling that Hina’s chances for getting Hayate are dropping down badly. Firstly because of her ‘I hate to lose so I’m waiting Hayate to confess to me instead of confessing to him’ attitude, and secondly, as Hamzawa-san said in this volume, Hinagiku is just too great for Hayate XD
… That saddens me a bit though…

hayate20_0010
Preview of the next volume, released in October.
Miki looks DELICIOUS.

hayate20_0011
And finally, back of the book.
Nagi-mama is <3

That’s all for this time. Well this book contains way more goodness, but I don’t want to kill your fun so go check it.

On a side note, I’m still watching the anime version. That’s the exact adaptation of the manga, so no surprises but very enjoyable, I’m totally satisfied with this show. It’s a gallery of cute faces. Made some screenies, I think I’ll make a post about it later.

Nyan Koi ! volume 3

Blogged by on Monday June 1st, 2009 at 5:56 pm in English, Manga (spoilers), Nyan Koi ! | 2 Comments »

Been busy recently, but it’s finally time for some random scans posting action.

Nyan Koi volume 3. I had this book in my queue for quite a while and finally have read it about a couple of weeks ago.

nyankoi03_0001

As always it was a nice read. Was mostly about the mysterious kouhai-chan who appears at the end of volume 2 (see previous Nyan Koi post) and who seems to know about Junpei’s curse…

nyankoi03_0002
The day after what happened at the end of the previous volume, Junpei searches for the mysterious girl. But that’s the girl who actually finds him first…

nyankoi03_0003
The girl gives him a letter and leaves.
Junpei is pretty suspicious because of what happened previously with Ichinose-sempai, but after opening it he sees that it’s a real love-letter for him XD
The name on the letter is ‘Kotone Kirishima’.
… but the girl takes it back XD

nyankoi03_0004
“Don’t get it wrong, I HATE YOU !”
J : “(I’ve been dumped just after being confessed…!!?)”
But the girl finally gives him an appointment after school at the temple where he got cursed because she has something to tell him…

nyankoi03_0005
“Hello, Kousaka-sempai. I’m the first-year Kirishima”
^ dude she looks so CUTE here.
That funny face just before that is pretty cute too XD

nyankoi03_0006
Even though she knows about Junpei’s curse (she is sensible to spirits and stuffs), she actually didn’t want to talk about it…
“Don’t come near Kotone anymore !”
J : “…. huh !?????”
“Don’t play dumb with me ! You just got a love letter from Kotone,
didn’t you !?”
J : “Well… that’s you.”

nyankoi03_0007
OMG THERE’RE 2 KOTONE KIRISHIMA !?
(classic)

nyankoi03_0008
And so, Nyan Koi ! gets its obligatory pair of lovely twins~
Kotone the older one who loves Junpei, and Akari the younger one who hates him XD

nyankoi03_0009
awww, Akari was a bitch at Junpei because she didn’t want to be separated from her onee-chan~
(classic)

nyankoi03_0010
!!!!?

nyankoi03_0011
Right page, bottom panel : <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

nyankoi03_0012
Twins flag GET
Now that’s really harem manga XD <3 <3 <3 <3

nyankoi03_0013
Left page, upper-left panel : man Akari is just too frikkin CUTE
I think I just found my fav girl in this manga <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

nyankoi03_0014
Pool chapter~
saabisu saabisu~

nyankoi03_0015
Ichinose-sempai is here too~

nyankoi03_0016
!?
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Ichinose-sempai : ザ・DFC !!!!

nyankoi03_0017
!?
XD
Lucky Junpei… ?

nyankoi03_0018
Ends with Kanako moment~
I’m glad that the author didn’t forget about Kanako.
Buddy girls are cool.

nyankoi03_0019
K : “(Crap ! Being with Junpei is just too fun…)”
K : “(It would have been easier if I didn’t notice that I was in love with him though…)”
Honestly… KANAKO MUST GET JUNPEI
For the sake of all buddy girls. For Satsuki from Ichigo 100%.
XD

nyankoi03_0020
This volume too gets its Chizuru-san chapter.
As in the previous volume, this chapter was love, lulz and iyashi-kei… but this time it got also EPIC ENDING XD (rofl’d hard)
One of the thing I luv about these Chizuru-san chapters is that the other characters actually don’t appear (Chizuru haven’t met any of the other girls yet). It’s like, they’re in their own little world. That’s pretty refreashing and cute~

That’s all~

This book actually gets more lovely moments, but I prefer not to post too much from it for not spoiling the fun.

A word about the anime version they’re preparing, there’s just a thing I’m bit affraid of : if they’re making an anime version so early (3 volumes released so far), I feel like they’ll be doing a 12 episodes show focusing on the Junpei x Kaede x Kanako triangle… and well that would mean no Akari-chan and Chizuru-san… Would be a shame, really :/

Anywany, I’m looking forward to it.

M no Oukoku – Masochists Kingdom #2

Blogged by on Friday May 22nd, 2009 at 5:33 pm in English, Manga (spoilers), Others | 0 Comments »

Back with the usual random scans+ copypasta manga posts.

Nearly 2 months later, I finally gave a read to the second volume of M no Oukoku / Masochists Kingdom (see post about the first volume here).

c76093_l

It was again a pretty enjoyable 4koma manga. This volume was mostly about Media-hime, the princess of the Sadist Kingdom. She’s so damn LOVELY <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Random scans posting suta~to

emu02_0001
Colored intro comic.
Media-hime shows a lot of various faces throughout this book. That was cute. My love for her has grown dramatically.

emu02_0002
She asks to her ‘secretaries’ to find her some strange bird which is actually capable of granting any wish.

emu02_0003
The secretaries think that such a bird can’t possibly exist, so one of the guys is chosen for playing the role of the bird.
That sadist grin of her on the left page is… strangely appealing to me XD

emu02_0004
*bright smile*
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
M : “Apparantly, you have to peel off its skin and drag out its internal organs for having your wish granted…”
XD

emu02_0006
Gaiden story : Masochist School~ XD
Twintails Charlotte <3 <3 <3 <3
Cynthia : “sigh… I wonder if Hime-sama is alright…”
Misha : “Elementary classes are right near from here so stop worrying”
Cynthia : “But… if some rude subjects bother her…”
Misha : “If you worry that much, then just lock yourself up in a locker and look after her the whole day”
ji~
C : “Great idea !”
M : “Don’t do it for real…”

emu02_0008
Media’s brother, who has been sent in the ‘Bara no Oukoku’ (the worst place in the world XD ), is back to the S Kingdom.
When she’s with her onii-san, she shows even more cute faces~ <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

M : “I want to lose weight without effort…”
L : “Hime-sama !”
Prime Minister : “Hime-sama, if you say this kind of thing your brother will hate you, you know ?”
M : poro
L : ” !? … ki~ sa~ MA~…”
PM : “Eh ? wait… EEH ?!”
XD

Cy : “You can see through white swimsuits when they’re soaked”
Ch : “NA- !?”
Elie : “How about wearing a pareo ?”
Ch : “Oh~ nice idea !”
E : “(She won’t be able to cover the upper part though… <3)”
Elie~ <3

emu02_0017
Cy : “It was a case of emergency so we had to do artificial respiration…”
Ch : “It was you who did it, Cynthia ?”
hai~
Ch : “ALL OF YOU !!?”
Cy : “Well, we were arguing about who would do it…”
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Haha I’m glad that Elie could get a taste of Charlotte-hime <3 <3 <3

Omake for tan lines lovers~

Man I can’t get enough of all these funny faces of her <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

That’s all for today~

Sorry for the lack of translations, I just don’t have the time for this anymore.

Hayate no Gotoku #19

Blogged by on Saturday May 2nd, 2009 at 8:29 pm in Anime (spoilers), English, Hayate no Gotoku, Manga (spoilers) | 0 Comments »

Been 2 weeks already that the new volume of Hayate no Gotoku got released, and have read it last week so it’s time for deh random scans.

hayate19_cover1 hayate19_cover2
Front cover : it’s only later when I took the book from my bag for reading it that I noticed that something awesome was actually happening in the background. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 (ry
Back cover : yay new characters~

Actually I haven’t scanned that much from it, because this volume was some ‘transition’ volume. Means, it was filled with random stories which ain’t related to the Mykonos Island arc and the whole End Of The World stuff. Though, it seems it gets back into the seriousness again in the next volume (that what the author said in the atogaki).

But anyway, one would say that HnG is the best when it gets its usual love and crazyness so you may say it was a quite enjoyable volume. Well don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it very much too. But yeah I’m such a sucker for drama… sorry orz

Ok, random scans posting starts here~

hayate19_0001
First chapter was Miki chapter (<3)
Even tho it wasn’t really necessary, she kinda did her ‘coming-out’ :o
Miki and Hayate are spying on Makimura-sensei for making some good vid, and actually witness her being confessed by some random student.
Hayate says they should give up on the idea of filming the scene, but Miki doesn’t really want to miss the chance to get such a nice shot.
Hayate : “But a teacher and a student, it’s forbidden love !”
Miki : “Then what ? Even if it’s forbidden love, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s love ! ///”
w00t Miki for being the official yurikko of HnG

hayate19_0003
Nice cup~ (want).

hayate19_0003a hayate19_0003b
Left : It’s been some kind of new rule, but a HnG volume can’t be complete with some loli Maria-san appearance. XD
Right : ‘Adult’ Maria-san is fine too (HAWT).

hayate19_0004
Oyaji Nagi~ XD
<3 <3 <3
Oyajikko are the new trend in manga/anime… for my greatest pleasure~

hayate19_0005
… But it’s the so beautiful Aika-san who finally gets hit by the water~

hayate19_0007 hayate19_0006
AIKA-SAN SAABISU KITA !!! (insert tons of <3s here)
I happened to know recently that it’s Emiri Katou (Kagami from Lucky Star) who’s voicing the HnG #1 beauty in the anime… I SO HAVE TO HEAR THAT

hayate19_0008
Aika-san asked Hayate to get her some new pantsu, but finally leaves before he came back.
Maria : “Ah, you’re already leaving ?”
Aika : “Yes, I feel a bit chilly but it’s ok, I called out the car”
N- No-pan Aika-san ////;;;

hayate19_0009
While Hayate and the rest of the crew are preparing their trip to Mykonos Island for deh great teary reunion with Athena-chan, Saki, Wataru and Saku are enjoying a little trip to Las Vegas.
Why do I feel relieved when seeing Wataru being all deredere for Saki ?

hayate19_0010
half-awake Saki = <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

hayate19_0012
And that’s when the new characters finally appear :
Mikoto, aka Wataru-mama (hawt), and her lolicon butler Ichijou-kun.

hayate19_0013
Oh.
My.
God.

hayate19_0014
Drunk Saki <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

hayate19_0015
Saki is incarnation of love.
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Honestly, Wataru rules for having all these onee-san who want him so bad (Saki, Sister, Aika…)
WATARU THE TRUE MALE LEAD OF HAYATE NO GOTOKU

hayate19_0016
Last panel : DEH AWESOME REFERENCE
rofl’d

hayate19_0017
Bunny girl Saku + a couple of random cute blushing face.
I wub how she’s hitting Wataru’s head with her bunny ears XD
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

And so, this volume ends at the climax of that Wataru/Wataru-mama ‘interlude arc’. Well, not so much to say about it, just that it’s refreashing to see Wataru as the male lead. I have a lot of sympathy for him. And w00t for the Saki and Saku saabisu~

Now hafta wait until mid-June for moar Hayate goodness.

===

Though I can’t really get anime anymore, I could manage to get the first episodes (1 to 4) of the second season of the Hayate no Gotoku anime (there was no way I could miss that).

I was pretty surprised to see that this season starts with the content of the 6th volume of the manga. I mean, I could only watch the first half of the first season, which was 52 episodes long. So I wonder what the hell did they put in the second half of the show cause it sure doesn’t take 52 episodes for animating 5 volumes. ^^;

But well, who cares~. I SO HAVE WAITED FOR THIS SECOND SEASON.

snapshot20090418002629
I like the OP, this part in particular <3
Actually, the more I’m watching it, the more I wish for some Blue x Red to happen. Because of the manga I’ve been thinking that Hamzawa-san and Hina should be together forever, but I wish for Miki to find happiness too – she’s one of my favs – and Red-chan is most likely the one that would bring it to her. Well, she likes being picked on and Blue likes to pick on people XD

snapshot20090417232731 snapshot20090417232747
Oh man it started with the marathon thing and that cute Hina x Miki scene <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
My only complaint is that this ‘arc’ was only 1 episode long.

snapshot20090418003210
Second episode, and it already gets the awesome Sister <3

snapshot20090418003612
… and that’s when I notice that she’s Yui Horie.
YUI-CHAN ? IN MY HAYATE NO GOTOKU ?
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

1240129780888
H-I-N-A HINAGIKU !

snapshot20090421234438 snapshot20090421234455

WATARU YOU’RE MY HERO
Again, I’ve been a bit disappointed to see that this whole ‘Shitsuji Tora no Ana’ arc was only 2 episodes long in the anime. They skipped all the part when Hayate becomes Hamzawa-san’s butler for one day :/ (it had a reference to it tho)

snapshot20090428230358
Awesome reaction <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
The 4th episode is my favorite episode so far. I liked the fact that now it goes ‘1 chapter = 1 episode’ (somewhat), making this episode well-paced and very enjoyable~

snapshot20090428231328
AND THAT’S WHEN THE AWESOMENESS BEGINS
The starting point of the whole HHH thing, or when HnG becomes ultimate love & epicness.

snapshot20090428232329
“kuishinbou da na~ ! sasuga Maria-san !” XD
Maria-san ftw <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I’m getting pretty excited to see that my favorite moments from the manga are getting animated one after another… I just can’t wait for moar.

===

Let’s conclude this post with my ‘will never happen but I wish it happens‘ who-will-end-up-with-who list~

Hayate x Sakuya
Nagi x Wataru or Isumi
Hinagiku x Ayumu
Miki x Izumi

Sorry, Maria-san orz

The iDOLM@STER Break !

Blogged by on Friday April 10th, 2009 at 6:16 pm in English, Manga (spoilers), Others | 6 Comments »

Well, I mentionned it before but The iDOLM@STER is at the top of the list of games I wish to play.

At first, when I saw articles about this game on japanese blogs, it was just by curiosity. But since that time I eventually grew some sympathy for the characters, and finally became a iM@S fanboy. So, when this iM@S manga got released some weeks ago, I just couldn’t not to give it a read.

imasbreak01_0001

And this manga was cute. Really cute. Too cute. As in ‘innocent’.

In fact, I got the bad feeling that this manga was actually aimed at kids. orz

For god’s sake… BRING MY AWESOME SEKUHARA P BACK XD

I mean, dude, as far as I saw from the tons of vids which got posted on youtube, the game gets a pretty nice amount of service. And there is this ‘pai touch’ thing which made this game so famous on deh otaku internet… and there was nothing of these things in this book, and that’s kind of unexpected when you know that the author is Takuya Fujima, one of Ken Akamatsu’s (Love Hina/Negima) ‘disciple’.

But well, at least the art is cute. As I said, Fujima is one of Akamatsu’s disciple (he’s doing that negima spinoff manga, Negima-Neo) so the art is pretty ‘akamatsuish’,  and I always have been a sucker for Akamatsu’s easily imitable yet nice art.

Ok, now is the time for random scans and copypasta~

imasbreak01_0002
The 765 (Namco) Production’s shachou invites his beloved grandson, Yutaro, to a party for introducing him to ‘somebody’…
lol uber plain main guy~
He’s supposed to be 16, even if he doesn’t look like it… dunno, maybe it’s because the author is too much into Negima…

imasbreak01_0003
And the boy meets the girl~

imasbreak01_0005 imasbreak01_0004
Party with 765 Prod’s employees~
For some obscure reason, the manga features only 6 of the 10 heroines : Haruka, Miki, Yayoi, Chihaya (<3 <3 <3 <3 <3), Iori (<3 <3 <3 <3) and Yukiho… wait, NO AZUSA-SAN ?!
Makoto, Ritsuko and Ami/Mami are missing too… well, at least it gets Kotori, the very popular secretary girl XD

imasbreak01_0006
Shachou annonces, oh surprise, that Yutaro will be the future purodyusaa-san~
Side note : as if Iori didn’t get enough moe attributes already, the author added a fang… approved ! <3

imasbreak01_0007
Right page : in this manga, the idols are actually performing as a band. Well, that may explain why they are ‘only’ 6, the author surely wanted to spare us from another Morning Musume XD
Left page : haha Kotori luvs the manly shachou XD

imasbreak01_0008
That’s the kind of ‘service’ this manga delivers… :o

imasbreak01_0009
Chihaya is just the BEST <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
HAWT !
And that upper-panel on the left page, DEH LOVE <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 (did I mention that Haruka x Chihaya was one of my most wanted pairings ? a Iori x Yayoi is fine too~)

imasbreak01_0010
Random fantasy~
Chihaya & Iori : <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

imasbreak01_0011
That’s supposed to be the ‘hottest’ Yutaro x Haruka moment… XD
Ah~ the innocence~

imasbreak01_0012
I must say that Fujima–sensei’s Yukiho is damn CUTE

imasbreak01_0013
Yutaro : “Eh ? Sorry, your voice is too low, I can’t really hear you…”
Yukiho : “So- sorry, I’m not at ease when talking with boys… ///;;”
Yukiho : “Is it ok now, like this ?”
Yukiho~

imasbreak01_0014
oh man… DEH LOVE

imasbreak01_0015
Obligatory onsen service~
You still have lot to learn from Akamatsu-sensei, Fujima-san XD

imasbreak01_0016
This manga is going straight for the Haruka route…

imasbreak01_0017
Chihaya FTW

imasbreak01_0019 imasbreak01_0018
Finally get the chance to see a bit of skin thanks to Miki XD
Iori-chan kiiiick !!! XD

imasbreak01_0020
At the end of the book, the 2 original rival characters from the 3 im@s PSP games (the third rival being Miki, uragirimono ! XD) appear~

I’m done~

Well, in fact I wanted to write also a post about the Gurren Lagann Gakuen manga, but the thing got scanlated since a while already so it’s kind of late… man I want my internet back… orz

M no Oukoku – Masochists’s Kingdom

Blogged by on Wednesday April 1st, 2009 at 6:56 pm in English, Manga (spoilers), Others | 0 Comments »

Just like ‘Nyan Koi !’, ‘M no Oukoku’ (Masochists’s Kingdom) is one of these manga that I randomly pick up from the second-hand books for cheap just because the art is cute, gets service and looks funny.

And sometimes it even ends up being interesting. It was the case for ‘Nyan Koi !’ which ended up being great, but sometimes it ends up not being that good. Thanksfully, M no Oukoku was quite amusing. Not awesome, but still entertaining.

As the title suggests, this 4koma manga is about a kingdom in which everybody is a masochist… expect the princess who’s leading the kingdom XD

Well, since this is a 4koma manga, there isn’t really any story, just plenty of random gags, so instead of making some hueg text about it here is some random scans~

Oh and in before asking : no, that ain’t hentai manga XD

emu0101
Charlotte-hime, 10 years-old tsukkomi character and cute princess of the Masochist Kingdom. Man, she gets a ‘Rie Kugimiya character’ aura all over her XD

emu0102
Her personal maid, Cynthia. hawt <3 <3 <3

emu0103
In the Masochist Kingdom, all the subjects are M…
“Please, Princess, step on my pen☆s !”
XD

emu0104
The people working in the castle are all M too…
Cynthia <3 <3 <3

emu0106 emu0105
“Princess ! Prince Allen, your brother that you haven’t seen for 5 years, came back from his travel !”
Charlotte : “Brother…”
Allen : “Charlotte…”
Allen : “CHARLOTTE ! STEP ON YOUR BROTHER’S PEN☆S !!!”
lol~ XD

emu0107
The princess wanted a new pillow, so Cynthia decided to be the princess’s pillow XD
<3 <3 <3

emu0108
The King and the Queen.
The Queen is actually a native from the Sadist Kingdom XD
… I guess that’s the reason why Charlotte is normal, the M and S sides have ‘neutralized’ each others XD

emu0109
The Sadist Kingdom plans to invade the Masochist Kingdom (lol) and Prince Allen, accompanied by his two loli bodygards Gradius (!) the knight and Lucy the priest, has been sent in the Sadist Kingdom as a spy for getting infos. They witness a robbery and successfuly catch the thief : Meys <3 <3 <3

emu0110

Media-hime is actually a bro-con tsundere~ <3

emu0117
<3 <3 <3

emu0118
New cute character appears : Elie the 10 years-old genius artist <3

emu0119
When Cynthia meets Elie, her ‘yurikko sensor’ suddenly goes crazy ! XD

emu0120
… and her fears are justified, because Elie actually comes from the most awesome place in the world : the Yuri Kingdom.
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

emu0121
Media-hime having a nightmare in which her brother became a M XD
In fact, posting it only because the upper-panel is cute <3 <3 <3 <3

emu0122
Media-hime has a mysterious, mercyless and uber-S ninja as her servant, who finally happens to be a super cute maid, Lisa <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

emu0123
When Lisa isn’t wearing her ninja outfit, she becomes overly shy XD

emu0124
One of Charlotte’s random maids, Misha, happens to be a spy from the S Kingdom. She fakes being gay for Cynthia for not being exposed~

emu0125
Elie : “Eh ? Misha-san, you are yuri ?”
Rei : “But when I asked you before you said you were M…”
Misha : “eeer actually I’m yuri on top of being M !! ;;; (though I’m S, actually)”
Rei : “Does being yuri and being masochist combine ?”
Elie : “Maybe she just awakened to it ?”
Elie : “Perhaps she can even become S.”
Rei : “masaka~”
Misha : giku

Elie : “By the way, what about Cynthia-san ?”
Rei : “What do you mean ?”
Elie : “Is she interested in girls ?”
Rei : “Well, she has this ‘yurikko sensor’ thing, so that is possible…”
Misha : “Just because she has this sensor thing doesn’t necessary mean she is interested in girls though…”
Rei : “You are right…”
Elie : “Maybe she is… A YURIKKO HUNTER !”
M&R : “A YURIKKO HUNTER !!?”

“Yurikko Hunters are people who catch severe yurikko and forcibly drive them into male’s charm. A dreadful tribe !”

Rei : “Misha, if Cynthia-san finds out that you are gay you will be certainly hunted !”
Misha : “T_T”
Rei : “… but now that I think of it, when I see how Cynthia-san is when with Hime-sama, I do feel some yuri vibes…”
Elie : “That’s because every girls are yuri.”
<3 <3 <3

emu0126
Misha : (Which reminds me… That one and only time when I saw Lisa-taichou’s true face…Her long hair were floating in the wind… She looked so cool…)
Mishia : (… wait, am I really… ?)

Elie and Rei convice Misha to confess her ‘love’ to Cynthia…
Misha : “Cynthia…”
Cynthia : “What is it, Misha ?”
Misha : “errr well, I have something to ask you… are you in love with Hime-sama ?”
Cynthia : “WHA- !!!”
Misha : (Huge reaction from the yurikko sensor !!)

Rei : “They are discussing of something…”
Elie : “We can’t hear from here…”
Rei : “Ah !”
Elie : “She’s back !”
Rei : “S- So !? What did she tell you ?”
Misha : “It does combine…”
Rei : “Eh ? What ?”

emu0127
Misha : “W- well, she’s already in love with a guy, I’ve been rejected…”
Rei : “I see…”
Rei : “I’m sorry, pushing you to confess…”
Elie : “Sorry…”
Misha : “Eh ? N- no problem, don’t worry !”
Rei : “If there is anything I can do, just ask me, okay ?”
Elie : “M- Me too… !!”
Misha : “…”
WHAT IS THAT FEELING OF DISSAPOINTMENT ???
Misha <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

That’s all for the first volume. I happen to own the second volume too but I’ve yet to read. Anyway, I’m looking forward to it, because this first volume was quite enjoyable~

Hyakko volume 4

Blogged by on Friday March 27th, 2009 at 5:54 pm in English, Hyakko, Manga (spoilers) | 0 Comments »

I’ve read this book about a couple of months ago and just noticed that I didn’t post random scans from volume 4 though having added a sub-category for this awesome manga.

Like always, but in this volume in particular, it was an extremely awesome mix of lulz + iyashi-kei. This volume was about the crew’s summer vacation, and following Torako and her friends’ peaceful days really chills you out.

I found great how the author drew this volume as it makes you feel like you’re actually watching an anime (some scenes are separated by ‘eyecatch’ pics or random 2-3 panels sub-scenes including minor characters). It was really a well-made book and it definitely makes Hyakko to be one of my fav manga ever.

Ok now is the time for random scans again~

hyakko0401
Torako : “I’ve been wondering since a while but… WHAT ARE YOU HIDING IN THAT BODY ?!”
Nene, get out of that body ! XD
Suzu XD

hyakko0402
Haha I so like when Torako is being so malicious <3

hyakko0403
Tatsuki doesn’t like high places~
Bottom of the right page, middle panel = <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

hyakko0404
<3

hyakko0404b
The crew has to take supplementary lessons.
T : “Eh ? You too ?”
N : “Yup~ !”
T : “Isn’t the Class Rep supposed to be a model for the other students !?”
N : “Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I’m bad at studying, I JUST DON’T STUDY !!”
Nene FTW~

hyakko0405
Kids, don’t do this XD

hyakko0405b
I know that these two pages are for introducing Nene’s brother, but I was only thinking “man when Nene is being ‘normal’ she’s just too HAWT” when reading this.

hyakko0405c
For some reason Inori seems to be hated by her sister. Well, that just makes her look even cuter.

hyakko0406
Touma-mama XD

hyakko0407
Left page, last panel : KTKR <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

hyakko0407b
Kitsune : “Yo, Ayumi-chan ! Want to do s*x with us ?”
XD

hyakko0407c
Ayumi and Kitsune have an amusing relationship, but man I hope they won’t end up together. XD
Kitsune is such a jerk, Ayumi doesn’t deserve that. ^^;

hyakko0408
‘Natsu-yasumi’ rhymes with ‘matsuri’, so obligatory yukata scene~
Nobody recognized Touma at first XD
Cute <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

hyakko0408b
Hitsugi and her mysterious friend who hasn’t been introduced yet.

hyakko0409
rofl~

hyakko0409b
Same comment as earlier…
Cute but DO NOT WANT XD

hyakko0409c
For some reason, Torako has Amakasa-sensei’s phone number… Man I smell something fishy here ! XD

hyakko0410
Hyakko, Love & Piece.

hyakko0411
Omake manga : man, there’s really something fishy between the two of them. XD
And man, these pages look like the beginning of an ero-doujin. XD

I still have a nice amount of random scans on my USB key, so (maybe) moar posts with random scans to come later…

Nyan Koi ! volume 2

Blogged by on Tuesday March 24th, 2009 at 7:32 pm in English, Manga (spoilers), Nyan Koi ! | 0 Comments »

I’ve been wondering why I couldn’t find anything about “Nyankoi !” on the english internet… It’s because it’s been romanized as “Nyan Koi !” orz (dunno, for some reason I was thinking ‘nyanko’ when I saw the title and thought it was some kind of pun)

Anyway, I’m glad I came across this manga back then (see post about the first volume), because I’ve read the second volume last week and it was really nice~

Time for some random scans~ (been a while)

nyankoi0201
Some big jerk who has been introduced at the end of the first volume, Ichinose-sempai, challenges Junpei.

nyankoi0202
But Junpei totally forgot about it and the guy caught a cold for having stayed 3 days on the school’s roof waiting for Junpei XD

nyankoi0203
“Junpei Kousaka ! Let’s fight for knowing who will get Kaede Mizuno !”
(classic~)

nyankoi0204
… but the guy collapses from his cold, and the crew has to carry him home.

nyankoi0205
And he’s not only a jerk, but he’s also some rich bastard.
(classic~)

nyankoi0206
Ichinose-sempai happens to have a cat, Josephine (XD). It asks Junpei to help Ichinose-sempai to find love, because it’s after being rejected by his first love that he became such a jerk.

nyankoi0207
But helping Ichinose-sempai means giving up on Kaede !
And not giving up on Kaede means becoming a cat !
Pinch !

nyankoi0208
Once the girls are out of the picture, Ichinose-sempai can finally have his challenge. And yeah, he’s a kendoka (classic~).

nyankoi0209
When thunder suddenly strikes nearby…

nyankoi0210
!?

nyankoi0211
REVERSE TRAP KITAAAAA !!!

nyankoi0212
She wears a ‘Sader’ mask and ‘Nagato’ headphones for not being scared by thunder~ XD
“YOU’RE NOT A GUY !?”

nyankoi0213
“WHO ARE YOU CALLING A GUY !!!”
“… even my first love rejected me because he mistook me for a guy”
XD

nyankoi0214
And what had to happen happens~

nyankoi0215
Man, I find her unattractiveness so… attractive XD

nyankoi0216a
Even if Junpei is actually not aware of it, it’s ‘mission complete’ XD

nyankoi0217
Since Ichinose-sempai is in love with both Junpei and Kaede, she decides to ‘back-up’ Junpei and Kaede’s relationship XD
But Kanako won’t let that to happen~
<3

nyankoi0218
After that, it gets a chapter which introduced the obligatory scatterbrained onee-san character : Chizuru, a postwoman with no sense of direction XD
A lovely chapter, kinda iyashi-kei <3

nyankoi0219
Random Kaede pic, who’s still the love & piece <3

nyankoi0220
At the end, obligatory mysterious loliish character appears !

Man, I love the fact that this love-triangle manga suddenly became a harem manga <3

This manga is really a nice surprise, because, just like I said in the post about the first volume, I just picked it randomly in the second-handed books and I wasn’t really expecting too much from it. But it ends up being great <3

The 3rd volume got released about 2 weeks ago, and I’m waiting for it to be delivered. Also, it became popular enough in japan for them to make an anime version~

I wonder why it’s being snobbed by the scanlation limbo, though… well, not that I particularly care anyway…

Nyankoi volume 1

Blogged by on Friday February 6th, 2009 at 7:03 pm in English, Manga (spoilers), Nyan Koi ! | 0 Comments »

Get some time to kill, so here comes some random scans and copypasta~

Nyankoi is a manga I found in the second-hand books a month+ ago at the library, and that I randomly bought cause the cover was cute. It ended up being an amusing manga.

The story is about a guy who has a cat allergy, and he is in love with a girl who loves cats. XD

One day he breaks a cat statue and is hit by a curse that makes him to understand cats’ language. He’s been told the day after by his own cat that he has to help 100 cats or else he will be turned into a cat (which would make him die, since he has a cat allergy XD).

I made some scans that time so I thought it was time to post them.

nyankoi0101
One day, Junpei can understand what his cat says.

nyankoi0102
Unfortunately for Junpei, all the members of his family are cat lovers~

nyankoi0103
The girl he loves : Kaede Mizuno, a super cute tennenko <3 <3 <3 <3

nyankoi0104
How Junpei got cursed~ XD

nyankoi0106 nyankoi0105
The cats tells to Junpei that he has to help 100 cats, or else he will be turned into a cat. He refuses to believe it at first, but he does turn into a cat, and almost die from it.

nyankoi0107
His first ‘mission’ is to help some stray cats which are oppressed by a cat molester…

nyankoi0108
… and the person in question is Mizuno XD

nyankoi0109
J : “loving cats is ok, but cats don’t like being teased too much, you know ? See, it doesn’t look like it appreciates it…”
M : “Even though it’s wagging its tail so much from enjoyment ?”
XD

nyankoi0110
“SAWAN JA NEE~ !” lol~
Seeing the characters running away while crying is some recurrent gag in this manga. XD

nyankoi0111
Mizuno seems not to mind about what happenned the day before. Actually it’s even the contrary, cause Mizuno loev deh GARness XD
Mission complete~

nyankoi0112
Junpei’s childhood friend, Kanako, is a freaking scary yankee girl o_o

nyankoi0113
Mizuno : “they get along well~”
As expected from such a lovely tennenko, she totally misunderstands their relationship~

nyankoi0114
haha XD

nyankoi0115
Mission 2 : a cat living in the school wants to tell its gratitude to a girl who feeds and take care of it everyday, so it wants Junpei to tell “Thank you for everything, I love you” to that girl…

nyankoi0116
… and yeah you guessed it, the girl in question is Kanako~

nyankoi0117
The reason why Kanako started being a bitch at Junpei… awww :/

nyankoi0118
Junpei has to be Kanako’s slave during the school festival after she saw him talking with cats.
Left page, upper panel : Mizuno “Kohsaka-kun, fight da yo~ !”
XD

nyankoi0119
Left page, last panel :
“He’s doing a bridge while crying !”
“A naki-bridge !”
lulz~ XD

nyankoi0120
Junpei and Kanako are arguing about what happened when they were kids, when… splash

nyankoi0121
“Oh yeah, I forgot that she was actually a girl…”

nyankoi0122
… and she’s actually freaking HAWT <3

nyankoi0123
Mission complete <3 <3 <3
Kanako flag GET, yay love triangle~

nyankoi0124
Junpei and Mizuno’s first encounter, epic XD

nyankoi0125
“DAIJOUBU slap DESU KA !? slap
XD

nyankoi0126
Since she got the highest grades during the entrance exam (?!), Mizuno gets to do the entrance speech. At the end, she says : “This morning something great happened. I fell in love with this school. I’m really glad I entered this school”.
Junpei : “She’s talking about me… !?”
All the other guys : “She’s talking about me !”
haha XD

A promising manga. <3

Not as hilarious as some stuffs I’ve read recently such as Hyakko or Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, but still a nice reading~

THE END OF THE WORLD (2)

Blogged by on Friday January 30th, 2009 at 6:34 pm in English, Hayate no Gotoku, Manga (spoilers) | 1 Comment »

As promised, here is some random scans from the latest volume of Hayate no Gotoku (volume 18) and the final part of ‘THE END OF THE WORLD’, which was as expected tears, regrets, and tears (see this post for the first part). ;_;

hayate1801
Hayate, convinced that he made his parents change after his serious speech, accepts that his father puts in a ‘safe place’ the ring he got from Aa-tan…

hayate1802
Athena breaks after seeing in the mirror that Hayate gave the ring to his parents (man I wish them to die from an horrible death), and suddenly attacks Hayate while insulting his parents.

hayate1803
Hayate : “What the deal with you !! That’s because you don’t have parents that you’re saying all these horrible things… !!”
And that is when the world came to an end.

hayate1804
Hayate’s voice can’t reach Aa-tan anymore and she definitely gets serious at him. “DON’T CALL ME BY THAT NAME ANYMORE !”

hayate1805
They end up neutralizing each others.

hayate1806
“GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE !”

hayate1807
Athena comes to her senses, but too late…
“That’s not it, Hayate. I didn’t want to talk about this. But, you see ? It was the precious ring I gave you, you see ? You were smiling, watching them unscrupulously selling this ring… It made me really angry you know ? But well it can’t be helped, you’re an idiot so these parents could easily coax you. But you see, if you stay with these parents, you will never be happy. So, I was thinking that I had to protect you… So, that’s not it, Hayate… Me too… I want to stay with you… forever…”

“Again… I’m here all alone again… Hayate… please… please say my name again, Hayate…”
Aa-tan T_T

hayate1808
Hayate gets some comfort from his onii-san, the only member of his family whom he can count on.
“Once the rain stops falling, go apologize to her properly, ok ?”
But when Hayate goes back to Athena’s place, the forest in which there was the castle is gone, the land having been bought by Mikado Sanzen’in for builting the Hakuoh High School. After that, they never met again…

hayate1809
But somewhere in Greece, a strange blonde ojou-sama is thinking about making her way to Japan… and what a coincidence, the whole cast is about to go to Greece for the Golden Week XD
Anyway, w00t Athena, and more seriousness to come in the future~

hayate1800
After that, we’re getting
the good ol’Hayate awesomeness again <3 <3 <3
I said it before, but joshikousei Yukiji : DEH LOVE <3 <3 <3 <3
what the hell happened, Yukiji ? XD

hayate1810
Maria-san, who didn’t appear for 10+ chapters straight, needed to get rid of her stress XD
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

hayate1811
Hayate is aimed by a yandere, and that’s the starting point of some lovely Maria chapters <3 <3 <3 <3
lol Yuko Goto reference~

hayate1812
Posting this just because Aika-san is DEH LOVE. <3 <3 <3
Ever since I saw her the first time, I loved her design. I think she’s in the 3 cutest characters in HnG. Hitomebore~
I hope she will get more appearance…

hayate1813
Need moar Izumi too <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

hayate1814
Lucky Star ? in my Hayate no Gotoku ? XD

hayate1815
omg Risa route XD
Konami, I hope honestly that you’re working on a new HnG game… A HnG gyaruge is seriously needed, dudes.

Next volume is released in April… orz
