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...

1-nen C-gumi Yoshida-gakari - [manga review]

Score: 4/10

1-nen C-gumi Yoshida-gakari is a one-shot is a middle of the road story about two boys or is it? The one-shot was made by Sakura Shiori, serialized in Comic ZERO-SUM in 2011.

Taiyo Tsukishima is tasked with being the friend of a boy, Yuu Yoshida who always has strange things happening around him. Yuu is a mystery, he is top of everything, both in studies and in athletics and the girls all want to date him. However, Yuu is not a sociable person but likes to spend time with people who are assigned to him. [Spoiler: Every other student who was assigned to him get frustrated and change schools, so the new transfer student with a bad face is being bothered with this task that no one wants.]

The art is nice, even though it is a little bit bland. The same goes for the background.

The characters are not really interesting, they are one-note but carry the story well. 

The humor that comes from the characters is nothing knee-slapping, I do not have a problem with it, and they lead to interesting situations.

There isn't anything that really can be said about this story. I didn't like the twist ending, not really because of what the twist is but more like how it came about. I can't say that I recommend this to anyone. Maybe I shouldn't be the one to recommend things to anyone actually...



Trivia: [Spoiler: The twist is that Yuu has a twin sister, whom he looks identical even though they are fraternal and no one was able to tell him and Rei apart. So they come separately to school because they couldn't handle being seen as the same person. Taiyo breaks this circle and for the first time in nine years, Yuu and Rei come to school together, but still dressed the same. Taiyo now is kind of stuck between them.]

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.

The Eyes of Sora - Chapter review [7-16]: "I am confused..."

Continuation of The Eyes of Sora reading that I am doing. This story is starting to turn out like a real slow burn. There is shounen-ai promised, but it is nowhere in sight right now. There are other elements like drama and tragedy that come in, the other genres that this is in and you can see it more rather than the shounen-ai aspect of it. There are some problems with understanding what is going on or how the writer leads the story. You kind of feel lost, but it is starting to build up towards something big. Score: 7/10 [Part 1.] https://runawaysdaydreams.blogspot.com/2020/02/the-eyes-of-sora-chapter-review-1-6.html Chapter 7 + 8 + 9: They are again talking about this idea that Sora's eyes see more and are special. Because of that, he will have more problems with the spirits. Jeongha doesn't want Sora doing anything behind his back, but Sora still decides to help Kanghee's friend. The chapters start to get a little bit tedious to read. Honestly, I am more interested in Je...
