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...

Familia! [manga review]

Familia! is made by Sou, serializes in Comic Avarus a magazine published by Mag Garden, and it was published in 2010. "Winner of an Award of Excellence in the Monthly Comic Avarus manga awards during November 2010." - myanimelist.net Score: 9/10 Kotaro Kazama, Yumeno Haibara and Shuu Koganei are Bambi's bodyguards, even though they never see the need to do any bodyguarding. Right now they are working to get enough money for Bambi, who likes spending money. Bambi himself is working as a designer. Their relationship is complicated.

"Gokko" - review...

Another review as we go, I will possibly spoil somethings for you. This one is short. Fuyuko can't get rid of Sawai who wouldn't leave her apartment, but he claims to be his long lost brother. Fuyuko doesn't believe this, but since she is learning to be an actress, she agrees to play along with him and play make-believe with him. [Spoiler: We never really get to know if the two of them are siblings or not. This is not really an insta-romance since they spend quite a time with each other. It is also implied that Sawai is just using Fuyuko to stay so he could write his scrip for a competition, I don't know, this is strange.] In the next story featuring Suzuki Hana, a well-known singer who starts working on the radio as an assistant and co-host. I don't like this one, it gets pretty confusing pretty fast. There are two love interests, Minakami and Zen, but neither of them is that interesting. [Spoiler: I think she dates Minakami and then ends up loving Zen, but it is c...
