Juvenile Orion

Juvenile Orion "Orion no Shounen" by Sakurako Gokurakuin 5 volumes-complete Mana Kirihara returns to her hometown and enrolls to Seika High. She unconsciously draws in 5 guys who have unique powers of their own. She learns that she has become part of the thousand-of-years-long secret war called "Aquarian Age". This is the spin-off of the male-oriented trading card game called "Aquarian Age". The introduction of the characters is such a draaaaag but the premise has a lot of potential. Each of the character has a kick-ass power and the villains looks cool as well. I'd love to see this as an anime. There is an anime and live version of "Aquarian Age" but no hints if there'will be for "Juvenile Orion".

Happy Thanksgiving!

This picture is aptly titled "Feast of Beautiful Creatures" from "The Wallflower".

"Hot For Teacher"

"Hot For Teacher" or "Sexy Teacher" or "Who Slept with Her?" The exclusive Catholic school for boys gets racked with a scandal involving the new, vamp teacher and three students. Check the other alternative title. No fancy storyline, a few laughs here and there and packed with naughty innuendos. If you're more than 18 years old and you just want to pass time without racking your brains, then you might want to check it out. The actress is really oozing with sex appeal and although there's only one bishie, Kim Tae Yo is too much to handle. This is a Korean film that was released in 2006.

Hanazakari no Kimitachi e ~ Ikemen♂Paradise Graduation Ceremony & 7 1/2 Episode Special

By ayreesa Hanazakari no Kimitachi e ~ Sotsugyoshiki & 7 to 1/2 wa Special The story jumps back between episodes 7 and 8 to show Sano's version. He won't be the same Sano we knew. Two new characters also appeared in this timelime. The clue for one of the character is that he/she appeared in the Taiwanese drama but not in the jdorama. The story ends with the graduation of the three dorm leaders in continuity with the series. Oh how I missed Hana Kimi! The funny gags and the overacting of the ikemen and especially the formidable chemistry between Shun, Toma and Maki.

Love Revo

Otometeki Koi Kakumei Love Revo!! by Yuuki Fujinari 3 volumes- ongoing Sakuragawa Hitomi weighs 100 kg. She tries to lose weight with the encouragement of five new transfer students. This is one of the otome-based manga being published in Comic B's Log. The story seems fast-paced and random to me because I don't have a background of the game. I wonder how she'll look like after shedding off the pounds.

Polls: Favorite Baaaad Boys

*warning: spoilers alert and danger zone* I was inspired by two muses to ran this poll a couple of weeks ago. First, by the US elections fever. Why not the root for the bad person instead of the right and good candidate . And second, by Edward's line from "Twilight", "What if I'm the bad guy?" . So what, I don't care! If you noticed I'm partial to these breed of anti-heroes. Almost all the guys in the list are my favorites but let's hear it from the netizens. I only included the bad, worst and beautiful boys who despite of their nature became interested to the heroine. Can love redeem them? The most favorite bad boy is cunning Kyoya of "Ouran High School Host Club" with 69 votes (52%)!!! The 2nd and 3rd spots were a close fight between the two neko guys -- Easter Company's pawn, Ikuto of "Shugo Chara" with 53 votes (40%) and the the rebel with a monster, Kyo of "Fruits Basket" with 52 votes (39%). The 4th and 5t

Otome Magazines

I've noticed that Comic B's-Log's covers seems to gravitate to reverse harem. After I let my curiosity took over me, I felt like a I hopped into a rabbithole. There's actually magazines that caters to female gamers featuring BL and otomes and related franchise. Here's a description of the magazines taken from Lijakaca's site : " B's Log: This magazine comes out monthly on the 19th and comes with either a CD or DVD-ROM with music or demos and wallpaper and stuff. It covers otome and BL games, and some RPGs as well. It’s also the biggest size mag, around 11”x14”. Dengeki Girl's Style : This mag is released every two months on the 10th - next one is Aug 10th. Same kind of stuff as B’s Log, no CD or DVD IIRC, but sometimes has extras like pamphlets. Cool-B : This mag comes out every two months on the 4th of even months, and focuses more on BL games, but they do have stuff on otome games. Cool-B Sweet Princess : This is an ‘add-on’ mag to Cool-B tha

Lovely Baby

By ayreesa "Lovely Baby" Shin Yumachi 1 volume-complete Kohinata An suddenly becomes the manager of her grandma's all-boy lodging house when her supposed guardian is hospitalized. This is the mangaka's first project. Although I'm not familiar with her other works, the art looks like it's just a draft and I'm not sure if she tried to slack work by covering the other eye with bangs. The start of the story is random and rushed but after the second chapter I'm hoping it will surprise me with a good twist or ending.
