Status: Ongoing


Plot:
Rakan lives all alone in a house which is surrounded by a garden. Which actually resembles more jungle. Suddenly in one another normal day, a man falls down into his garden. That man is from other world and later there'll fall more handsome men in his garden. The first game man, Chigusa, tells Rakan that he's  a sanome - a person who can grow the plants up. And there's also in other world a prince who resembles a lot Rakan, to the boot. That causes a lot of misundertsandings.

Characters:
Sawa Rakan ~ He's a lonely boy who loves flowers and plants more than anything and usually talks to them. Well, at least he's a sanome. He doesn't care about peoples backrounds as long as they're good people. He's also seen as a real prince because of his good nature and looks.

Senrou Chigusa ~ He's said to be from a monster clan of immortals. It's true that he can't die. He tried to assasinate the ayame prince from other world and was expelled from his land to that reason. At first he's emotioneless but later he'll learn more emotions trough loving Rakan. He's actually quite a good guy and a real pervert.

Narushige ~ He's a long haired and feminish looking man with a talking  snake. He's from a clan who accept only woman in family so he's said to be a bad omen. In reality he's a nice but a little motherly guy who protects Rakan from Chigusa's pervert acts.

Tono Touji ~ He came from another world last. He had a task to assasinate Chigusa and everyone involved with him. Despite that Rakan still took him with the group and later he became a good friend with everybody.  He's a little naive and easy to tease plus he doesn't want to get involved with Chigusas inproper acts. He's still nice guy and he was named with a number. That means he was seen as unnecessary one in his family.

Why you read it NOW?
I know that I've been updating quite many shounen-ai series with you guys but try to bear with it plz :) I think you should still try this manga despite the fact this involves some boys love scenes. But it's limited to Chigusa's perverted acts almost. So I think it's safe for you to read. In fact this serie is funny and filled with great characters. Plus the plot is cool. You can feel how horrible actualy the other world is. Even though Rakan seems perfect type of main character, he's still loveable. Everything he does is innocently done. And he admits his fear. So he's also a human.
I think I've started to repeat myself quite a bit but lets repeat more. :D I think the best thing in this manga is the humor. The jokes are cool and a talking snake makes it even more cooler. That guy is like a walking dictionary. Also Chigusa's past is interesting to read about. They all have backrounds that are possible ones, maybe a little clishe like. But it's not bad. It makes the serie more entertaining.

No. 6 is a future model city in 2013 and is know of it's perfect way of life. Shion is a part of the city and is ranked as an elite as an age of 2. When he's 12, he got into a high rated school. On his 12th birthday he then saves a boy who climbed in from his window and trated his shot wound. The boy's named Nezumi and was an escapee. Dispite that Shion still kept the boy with him but later on suffered because of it. But Nezumi gave  to Shion something... something more than the so called perfect life of No. 6...

Characters:
Shion ~ At first he's 12 but later in the serie he's already 16 (?). He's smart elite boy who was promised to be something big but the he saved Nezumi. Shion is a little sarcastic but naive boy who gets to know the real world later with Nezumi. Originally he had a brown hair and brown eyes but later white hair and red eyes (he turned into an albino).

Nezumi ~ He's a sane age as Shion but much experienced than other party. He's an escapee and an enemy of the No. 6. He thinks lowly about Shion but at the same time is thankful for his help with the wound. Nezumi has blue gray hair on ponytail and grey eyes that are mentioned many times because of them mezmerating effect.

And why u read it now?
This serie has it! I mean, amazing boy friendship/love (sorry for all those who doesn't like) and a real enemy. A modern enemy. This time it's a whole city. They finally gets that it's all an utopia. Nothings real and perfect as they thought. They're not happy as they were told to be. Actually they just are and nothing more. They don't feel the real happiness or saddness or anything like that which is actually necessary in the life, to tell the truth. It somehow reflects my own feeling. Something's missing... but what is it? Destroy it. Destroy what? Everything. Everything? Also the part where Shion screams to the typhon is really heart thropping. I think sometimes we all wish that we could scream everything away. Just like that!
Also the characters are cool. I like them all. ^^ Especially the main couple, Nezumi and Shion, I think their personalities are really fitting for the whole thing. Two escapers, they escape the perfect disaster. This is worth reading!

Silent Time

Gravitation

Name: Gravitation
Author: Murakami Maki
Genre: Comedy, Drama, Shoujo, Shounen-ai
Released: 1995
Status: Complete


Plot:
Shuichi Shindou loves music more than anything and is determinded to become a start with his friend Hiro. Apparently big selling novelist Yuki Eiri happens to find the lyrics he wrote and told him how much those sucked. Shuichi couldn't get that out of his mind and started to go to see Yuki more often to demand him the reason why his lyrics weren't good enough. Apparently he started to like to being together with the man more and more.

Characters:
Shuichi Shindou ~ He's a young man who loves music and Eiri Yuki more than anything. He's a hyper person and gets workes up almost by everything. He can also be descriped as a drama queen.

Eiri Yuki ~ He's a bestseller romantic novelist who sucks with love anyway. He treats people like trash and same goes to Shuichi too. He doesn't seem to care about anything or anyone and is very selfconcerned. Plus he seems to have some ghost hunging arounf from the past.

Why you should avoid and not avoid this manga?
I'm gonna tell the best points first before the worst ones. I love the personalities of the characters. The main character Shuichi is such a lively person who makes the story even more unexpected. He doesn't seem to give which makes you wish to disappeare before he does something emparassing. It's a good feeling, believe me. :) Also I love how sadistic Yuki is with Shuichi. That makes their relationship eccentric and more unique. Only thing is that that you start to wish Yuki's disappearance or change of heart. Sometime he just annoys the hell out of you and you can't help but pity poor Shuichi who's trying his best.
The worst parts are... maybe... at first the change of the atmoshpere of the story. At first the story startes like any ohter shoujo manga. There was a boy who met a guy who seemed to hide something inside himself and is still so freaking attractive. But when the story goes by, all the normality the serie had, disappeared. Suddenly you had some crazy banda bitch and a hot but absolutely psycho manager with thousands of guns with him. In other words: the serie went all weird! It might also be a good thing because the change went pretty smoothly. It just didn't change right away. I also like the way how the mangaka made the relationship between the maincharacters develobe slowly enough... at least on Yuki's part. Shuichi was maybe a little rushed.
I also want to note about the art. At first the art was horrible in my opinion. It had same kind of features as many other manga from 90s or 80s. The it changed into lot better. With the new style you could tell the characters apart easier and see something else than horrible 90s clothes on them. But everyone like different things. Maybe someone like this kind of style more. :)

WARNING! This may contain spoilers but nothing serious in my opinion. :) Be still aware when watching! And you can't blame me ;) This absolutely gives a better picture of the manga and anime in this case. 

AKB49 - Renai Kinshi Jourei

Name: AKB49 - Renai Kinshi Jourei (The Rules Against Love)
Author: Motoazaby Factory
Artist: Miyajima Reiji
Genre: Comedy, Gender Bender, Romance, School Life, Shounen
Released: 2010
Status: Ongoing


Plot:
Just like you can quess, this manga is based on popular Japanese band AKB49.
Yoshinaga Hiroko is a girl with a dream: she wants to take a part on the popular group AKB48. That's why she attends into an audition. Urakawa Minoru is Hiroko's classmate who is in love with  the girl. That's why he attends into the audition too, though while being dressed as a girl. Otherwise he had planned, he passed the audition just like Hiroko so he became part of new group, generation 12. Minoru continues supporting his love doing crossdressing and whithout girl knowing. But managers seems to have their eyes on Minoru and his talent... just like other participants have. What will Minoru do? Can he continue like this in all-girl group?

Character:
Urakawa Minoru ~  He's a little unsocialated boy who's deeply in love with Hiroko that he'd do anything for her. Like attend to a girl group. Even though he still seems to enjoy his time with other girls. Minoru has a black short hair and Minori (his crossdressed side) blond/light brown long hair/wig.

And why do I force yo... recommend you to read this? 
This is indeed shounen... I can see why guys would like to read this serie. It's because there's pretty girls with short dresses, big tits and only one guy who's amongst them... as an only guy. :) You can believe how many difficult situations there is in this manga when girls sexually harras Minoru or how the guy happens to see all girls naked. Too bad, I'd like this otherwise (meaning, only one girl and many hot bishies *O*). But this is still very entertaining manga. Minoru is good mainchara even though his love for Hiroko is a little annoying. Since there's many other good girls available too! If I was a guy, I'd pick someone else. But that's me again... And I'm a girl, so not so sure 'bout this one. =)
I like how Minoru acts and how he isn't ashamed at all when he's dresses as a woman. He's wearing dresses and high heels just like nothing. This author/artist has a very good sense of humor. Points for that.
