manhwa: You're So Cool Vol 3
May. 27th, 2009 10:15 amI have realized that the reason I like this despite the “alpha jerk shoujo hero bullies perky heroine” thing that I usually hate so much is that it makes me think that Kyo and Yuya from Samurai Deeper Kyo somehow ended up in a high school shoujo. And…err…SDK has a canon high school AU? Except the grabbiness is exchanged for evil genius gangster-ness.
But really, where else do you know it’s true love because the guy sees the girl being bullied through a window and has an internal monologue that goes from wondering why she makes it easy for people to pick on her to wondering what’s up with a girl who throws trash cans at people to swearing death and carnage on the bully when he grabs her wrist? Meanwhile, a roomful of people is cowering in terror. Then you add the height difference and flat-chested comments and the fact that the entire universe thinks Nan-Woo can control Seung-Ha’s moods, and the comparisons won’t go away even when I want them to.
But back to the actual manhwa!

manga: Shinobi Life Vol 2
May. 27th, 2009 10:55 amThe series is seriously devoted to bodyguard/princess fanservice. Actually, I’m not sure it has a point beyond that.

May. 27th, 2009 11:28 amAnd I'm off to A-Kon (or, more accurately, to my brother's tonight and then ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
telophase 's and THEN A-Kon, but, you know...)
I'll be back sometime on Monday and probably not have much or any internet access between now and then, so try not to do anything very interesting while I'm gone. If you see anything you think I'd be interested in, drop a link here.
(Hmm...I never did get a chance to catch up on Tsubasa and xxxHolic, which I meant to as I learned last year that there are certain series where it's assumed everyone has read whatever the latest chapter is.)

I'm standing here with everything in the car and TOTALLY CONVINCED that I've forgotten something important.
