Ha. "Ten Count" by Takarai Rihito

Oops. Um. Well, it's Hump-day once again. Luckily, this year so far is not as bad as I thought it was to be as September is coming to a close soon. So enjoy the great outdoors while it lasts, because the change of seasons is starting to in the air.
I'm starting to feel sad, because it's the change of seasons though, 'cause that means that the anime season is changing up. And that means "Free! Iwatobi Swim Club" is over today. *feels* But then there's big brother "Meganebu!" coming into the anime picture frame, and I'm thinking of having slightly high expectations for it.
But this is a manga reviewing site, so try to look somewhere else for that stuff. Or tumblr works as well.

Though it's not a completed manga yet, only updated chapter 2 recently, I was interested in looking into "Ten Count" by Rihito-sensei. It intrigued me whenever a manga involves some sort of condition or special thing about the main character, 'cause, well, it makes them special.

So there's this guy, who for some unknown reasons has mysophobia, which is a fear of getting dirty or germs and stuff. And so he works for this normal company as a secretary for his boss, and one day, his boss is about to be run over by a passing truck when this ridiculously (in my opinion) handsome man jumps to the rescue, leaving the mysophobic's boss with only a fractured knee. Mr. Handsome is leaving the hospital, and Mr. Mysophobic runs after as request of the boss to give him his business card and a repayment. However, Mr. Handsome states all of a sudden that Mr. Mysophobic is mysophobic, and suggests seeing a psychiatrist. They magically meet each other again by fate later, and it turns out that Mr.Handsome is also a Mr. Psychiatrist at a local clinic. They talk, and after making a "I Should Accomplish These 10 Things" kind of list, the manga ends there, since, again, the translation is not done.

I love Rihito-sensei's work, and the drawing style is so clean. Though the stories itself have a little bit of angst in them, or drama I suppose. But I totally recommend her work to you all, it's worth a read, not matter how much time you can spare. Seriously, just take even a peek is worth it. Why? You'll get hooked. She doesn't really do sex stuff though, so don't look for it.

"Hidoku Shinaide" by Nekota Yonezou (NSFW)

IT'S SUNDAY. God dammit, tomorrow's already Monday.
Well, how many days has it been? I dunno, and I don't want to.
So, lately, I've been into using some recording equipment I recently got in my house, and it's so much fun. *flail*
Seriously, it's a whole different experience to be able to hear yourself singing. I can sound like a pubescent boy, and a certain YouTube singer called 『rockleetist』. What about you? I might be putting up a cover of a duet with my elder brother on YT. "Maybe" is the key word here. If anything, look forward to a fail of rockleetist's and Ashe's version of "Bad Apple!" in English. Dunno. Like I said, maybe.
(I have a weird talent/hobby to mimic certain voices, both singing and voice-acting. So when I'm bored, I voice act BL Drama CDs. Of course, the uke voice. God bless those boys who can do the seme's voice, it sends a freaking shiver down my spine.)

So, for the third time or so, I've read "Hidoku Shinaide" by, again, Nekota-sensei. To sum it up: Studious scholarship student in danger of losing said scholarship cheats on exam, delinquent classmate catches him, and blackmails him to sex but still offers a free tutor by top-university cousin, when delinquent actually is in love with bookworm and dah-da-dah-da-daaaah.
Oh and sex. Wait, did I say that already? Oops, yes. Well, there is plenty of it, considering that is what the blackmail is for. There is more to the story than the sex and blackmailing though, so I recommend reading it to get what I'm actually getting at here.

Overall, I like this manga, considering I read it for the third time today, but not everyone has the same preferences as me. Not exactly my favorite, but the bookworm's airheadedness, or just his ignorance to common sense, cracks me up when the timing is right.

Ah. I need to catch a break. Then again, I guess me being here right now is catching my break.

Here's the usual linky:

Fall is going to start this week, so for those who do have a change of weather in your area, I wish you luck. Kinda. Not really. Jk.
Good night, and good day to you all. :)

God Dammit. "Uwasa no Oujisama" by Mio Junta (NSFW)

Damn Sundays. They just lead to another Monday. Mondays.... God, I hate Mondays.

So I read fluffy stuff to brighten up my mood. :)
Mio Junta is by far my favorite mangaka. She is my idol; her art is beyond cute and fluffy, and her stories make me go "Awww~" sometimes, like a teenage fangirl over cute-shoujo moments in shoujo manga.
However, I really hate the fact that very few of her works are scanned and/or translated, so there are very few of her works out there in the yaoi world.

"Uwasa no Oujisama". Like the cover, it's sweet. Nothing more. I mean, this one is a bunch of one-shots put into one volume, but they're all *5 stars* worthy. There are usually one sex scene every chapter, since each chapter is a different story, but all unique. If I had to compare this to an object, I would say red-velvet cakes. Sinfully sweet.
................
I gotta stop doing that. Please tell me to stop so I can....

So, "Uwasa no Oujisama" was the first manga that I read from Mio-sensei, and I don't regret every time I re-read the whole thing.

Join the cult. Enjoy it with me here:

Good luck in the outside world. Signing off.

Update: Um. I Take It Back.

Apparently, after reading some more of Naono Bohra-sensei's work, despite her artwork not being my first pick in preference, her characters actually depict a little bit about myself.

Like my love for stuffed animals, like this guy:
http://mangafox.me/manga/hajishirazu_na_yoru/v01/c003/4.html

Or how I can fight easily despite my size an looks, like this guy:
http://mangafox.me/manga/power_of_love/v01/c001/13.html

I think I have a new-found love and respect for Naono-sensei. :)

(This was during my break, so really, don't have high expectations for a review today, folks.)

"Boku dake no Kimi" by Naono Bohra (NSFW)

So, tomorrow I gotta head to the dentist's office, and have another appointment to attend to afterwards, so I'm not sure if I can make a post tomorrow, but I'll try! ;>-<;

So after reading several different one-shots today (I've been reading them a lot, haven't I?), I decided to talk about "Boku dake no Kimi" by Naono-sensei. Not really my usual taste in artwork, but the story to this was cute none-the-less.

So, well, there's this dude, who when he was younger, was bullied for being small and girly-ish. This other kid comes along to save him, and the dude falls in love. When they grow up, the kid was all that mattered to this dude, and so treated everyone else he interacts with poorly. Blah blah blah, and they fall in love. Typical one-shot yaoi, but I still though the idea of this was adorable, though the artwork kinda says otherwise....

Well, anyways, it's an okay read, again, one sex scene, the usual espresso. Lawl, I might actually call one-sex-scene yaoi's "one-shot of expresso". Hahah- NO. Not really.

*sigh* Gonna head to bed now, since I have to wake up early for once to make it on time for that check-up. Ugh.

"Oni ni Hatsujou" by Amagi Reno (NSFW)

Well. That was a little bit of a wait. Kinda.
Gotta be out from Wednesday to Friday, so gonna do this now while I can, haha.
So today, before scaring the shit out of myself with horror game playthroughs, I was reading "Oni ni Hatsujou" by Reno-sensei.
I was thoroughly entertained. :)

Basically, today's review is about the life of a typical teenage boy living with his dead-father's past student, who feels obligated to take care of him until he can live on his own. I smell ulterior motives. *dundundun~*
This is the kind of manga where giving the full summary is no fun unless you read the real thing for yourself, so the link is below, like usual. Go ahead, I'll still be here to hear what you thought.

In my opinion, the humor in Reno-sensei's works gets me laughing so hard sometimes, it almost beats laughing after having the shit scared out of you. Literally. I jumped out of my seat from the scare. From a Brazilian game called Pesadelo. Good luck with that.

Link to humorous reads is below. Have fun:

幸運と多幸。*bows*
Good night, or have a good day!
