Not posted.

Not posted on here for a while. I've finally finished Death Note. My overall feelings to it are that it's really good but I feel somewhat unsatisfied with the ending. Maybe because the first 5 volumes are unbeatable in terms of the story. Now though it's time to move on to the next manga. I've started Naruto. I've only started this due to a lot of people recommending it. It may just be overrated but I'd like to find that out for myself.

Death Note - update.

Today the 6th volume of Death Note Black edition arrived so tonight's job is to Finnish the story. The one thing I will say about Death Note is (SPOILER) after L's death the story looses its momentum a little and get really complicated where you have to remember rules of the Death Note. It's still good but I feel that L' was just too big a character to kill off as early has he was. Anyway final volume to read I hope the ending is as good as the start.

DearS

DearS, an alien race who look suspiciously like humans, have crash landed on Earth! Now they have to integrate into society by getting jobs or going to school. Luckily for Takeya, he gets to meet one, and one that needs an education! This is not-so-serious manga that I personally found really funny. The DearS are basically female slaves that must do whatever the master says. Obviously, Takeya and co have some really funny times to come and it's funny from volume 1 - volume 8. I won't spoil the story but I found it really amusing and especially Tekeya' sex starved teacher who will do anything to educate her pupils in the Kama sutra! A must have read for any Manga fanatic!

Gunsmith Cats

Gunsmith Cats, by Kenichi Sonoda and published by Dark Horse Manga, is a story of a young bounty hunter named Rally Vincent. She also runs a Gun shop with her friend Minnie May. I really like this Manga and reminds me of old American cops and robbers films such as Starskey and Hutch. It's full of cars, guns and shoot-out and loads of action. The story is presented well and the art work is clear and easy to follow. I would say its for 15+ ages, I'm 24 and I really liked it although it does have some scenes I thought a bit risky but that's Manga for you. I do like the car chase scenes and Rally Vincents car of choice is a 1969 Ford Mustang! Nice! Anyway be sure to check this one out as I personally think that anyone with an interest in Manga will like it. There is an Anime series but it's hard to find being in the U.K so those of you over the pond should have more luck than me.

Today I thank god for Fan subs. If it wasn't for these great translators it would be hard for the English speaking world to enjoy the genius that is Manga/Anime. It also means I can watch .HACK//SIGN which is really good and stays true to the Manga in terms of its story and fantastic art work.
