Oh look a manga post.

(Guise: Don't feel like you have to read any of this. It hurts my eyes just as much as it hurts yours. ;A;)

So [livejournal.com profile] cazzwell dared me to write an entry of at least three hundred words where as many as possible are misspelled. As you know, this is antithetical to my nature and also makes me feel like a lolcat. Which is a speech style I abhor. Sigh.

Compounding this is the fact that I have no idea what I'm going to write about for that length of time. Umm. School is going okay. Homework's not too bad, but somehow I keep staying up really late for no reason, which I should stop. I also keep wanting to draw, basically every day, but then I procrastinate and never do it. I used to draw all the time and this is kind of making me sad. Maybe I need to make my sketchbook more accessible.

Posted my Digimon stuff to the comm. People seemed to like them a lot. That makes me happy. ^_^ Maybe I'll try the actual Digimon next, see if that goes anywhere. Then I could go on to other series. I've been thinking about Kingdom Hearts a lot lately, so I bet Organization XIII would be really easy. :P LUMPS OF BLACK WUT

Let's see. If anyone hasn't heard by now, they are making a Professor Layton/Phoenix Wright crossover game. Yesss so excoted oh my gosh. Not that I wasn't already planning to get a 3DS, but now... I am planning to get one even more. (Also, re the plot: Book of Ages wut. )

This post will probably get a translation later, because I surprised myself and actually said some things I care about. :|a

So now I will talk about manga.

Seven Days volume 1 came in the mail yesterday. I ordered it back in August, on the recommendation of... someone on f!s, I think. That is basically where I get all my stuff to read. ._. Anyway, I wasn't disappointed. It's a shounen-ai with a sweet story, realistic characters and an incredibly cute art style. Nothing earth-shattering, but cute. I pass along the recommendation.

Now, of course, I need something else to wait for. So I ordered the first volume of Futaba-kun Change after reading a few chapters online. I'm now seven volumes in and really liking this manga. Yes, it's a gender-bender with kind of an ecchi premise (guy turns into a girl when he's aroused), but it's really not as bad as it sounds. It ends up being more of a character-driven comedy. What I'm trying to say is, if I wasn't put off by it, you probably won't be either. :P And it's cute. The whole thing's online here if you want to check it out. (Warning: a fair bit of toplessness.)

Also rereading Saint Young Men again, because, well, it's Saint Young Men. I just wish more of it would hurry up and get translated. D: If any of you haven't read/don't know of it: Jesus. Buddha. Roommates. If that's not enough to get you to read, it's also really funny. I've read it twice before and it still makes me laugh. I'd be remiss not to provide a link I guess.

Wow, all my posts talking about things I read turn into rec posts, don't they. Anyway, to close on a different note, Hourou Musuko's English release date got pushed back two more months. Why am I not surprised. =_=;; The current prospective release is in April, but don't get too attached to that one either. I just wish I knew what was the reason for all the delay. I WANT MY WANDERING SON DANG IT.
