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.

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...
