Questions are good things. They are there to get to know others and to find the common ground with each other, with the people we want to love. Well, I would think that the biggest thing I need to learn is to love myself. I think at least. I like lists, I make lists, mainly about anime and manga that I want to read and watch. And sometimes about American books too. My life does revolve around things that I consume. And I do not know if I am fine with that. I would like to fancy myself that I like philosophy, but in truth, I like the idea of philosophy. In the sense, philosophy means the love of knowledge, because we cannot know everything. So we need to start with things that we do not know, even though there are many famous figures in philosophy, I do not want to read from them. Because the biggest thing that I do not know if myself. And, as I am right now, I am more interested in filling the emptiness in me, if that makes sense. But I like questions. So, I went out and looked for que...

The Story Of An Ogre And... [review]

The Story Of An Ogre And... was written by Kuze Gaku and it is published on Pixiv in 2016.


Kuze Gaku is made this masterful short, extremely short story touching story that needs to be seen to be 100% understood. This is a short story that needs to be experienced. The tragic story of an ogre is moving and a real tear-jerker. The link above is to his all in all pixiv account, a way to get to experience his other works. To the The Story Of An Ogre And... is here: 


Of course, the English translation is found on the net translated.

The art is beautiful, it seems like a detailed pencil drawing and even the environment, bare as it seems is well made. I can recommend it to everyone.

Score: 10/10


Trivia: [Spoiler: I can't stop myself from writing about this story. It turns out that the chained up ogre, is someone who brings bad luck and anything that gets close to him dies. The girl, who is talking with him seemingly fearless of his appearance is shown to be a flower that withered away under his curse. In its last minutes, the lonely ogre imagines the flower as a girl who asks him not to forget her. He is so lonely that the only one who he could share his thoughts with is a flower that fearlessly grows in the cave where he is locked away.]

[Spoiler: It is amazing how the author manages to show the loneliness of someone locked away in hits us right where it hurts. It is almost something that couldn't be described in words. This is why I read manga, finding something like this. This is a masterpiece.]

Domino Smash [app game review] (* ￣︿￣)~Meh...

Rating:  ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ This game was meant to be relaxing, but it ends up boring me in a sense. There is no problem with the advertisement, I, however, felt other parts of the game implemented in really gimmicky and only being in the game because other games have it as well. Like collecting keys and getting to unlock new skins. There is no such need in this kind of game, or if it is, then it was implemented badly. You make one move per game, starting the ball, there is no other interaction and I am fine with that, that's what I had come for. It is nice to see bonus content, but it doesn't work here, sadly. It was made by Gismart. To be fair, I only had played it up until level 25. I can't recommend this app to others.

A Boy Who Fishes Dreams - review

Score: 8/10 "This one shot has won 3rd spot of Daewon manhwa contest, and thus the author has a high(er) chance of being employed by Issue magazine." (Source: Sura's Place) This is a one-shot made by Hannah-hye, serialized in Daiwon in 2012. ☾ The art is a little bit off, I can't really put my hands on it, but the characters are a little bit stiff looking. But this is something that can be accepted from someone who only has one worked credited to them yet - this may be the creator's first work. But there is a lot of potential in them, just by seeing how they are leading the story. The background is actually okay, the scenes are well set. ☾ The story is about two boys who are in employment in an illegal dream recording business. They are giving hope to people whit recording their dreams and playing it back to them via nanotechnology. This is a futuristic technology that was banned because of criminals using it to blackmail people, which I can see happening even tho...
