Reverse Harem Garden

La Corda d'Oro Blue Sky - 12 episodes Koihanata Kanade was invited to Seiso Academy to compete for the national musical competition wherein they have to pit against the cream of the crop of other schools. She was once a child prodigy in playing the violin but she has reached a somewhat of a slump. I was excited with the number of bishonen and different schools. There are four schools and fifteen bishies but the opening credits showed twelve main boys. Who wouldn't be excited? Out of all the Neoromance anime adaptations, the only project that I really liked is La Corda d' Oro. So I was feeling positive about the spinoff. There was also a reverse harem cohabitation within the reverse harem interschool competition.  Inception! Yes, there was a female photographer in the house and all-girl team but I liked to pretend that they don't count. But after just a couple of episodes, I have quickly accepted the fact that it's going to be yet another boring Neoromanc...

I think there was a glitch with blogger because I only saw the votes after about a week or two. I was a bit sad because I thought no one was voting! The major chunk went to animes with 414 votes (71%) and followed by mangas with 210 votes (36%) and otomes with 115 votes (19%). The bottom half went to: all of the above 102 (17%), dramas 58 (10%) and books  44 (7%). I promise to post a minimum of two animes or two mangas or a combination of two before I post a book or drama reviews. Deal? I love animes and mangas but I also love watching dramas and reading books so I'll have to squeeze it in between for variety and for my sanity. But unfortunately otomes are not my priority right now since there's already a lot of great blogs dedicated to it and it will be counterproductive to my plan of prioritizing animes and mangas. But who knows I might post every once in a while. Thanks to all you 582 peeps who have voted! Your wish is my command!     

There will be two "Brothers Conflict" OVA to be released. One for Christmas and the other for Valentine's. There will also be new opening and ending songs from Gero and the voice cast. From ANN . I'm equally excited about the OVAs and the songs! Okay, more excited about THE ending song.   The character designs of "Akatsuki no Yona" have been posted. More pictures from Crunchyroll . The official site is also up.  Teaser # 1 from "The Records of a Night Watchman". Taken via FB .

Thanks for the 300 followers in Google Friends Connect! This is tad late by the way as it's now currently at 307 but in Ran Ryuuren-speak, more soul friends please! :) 

Mushroom College by Shiu Wan - 4 volumes It's the start of classes again at Mushroom College and handsome guys popped into Lin's life. But she must not get sidetracked as she had already set her eyes on to her idol. Sigh! Only two chapters are available and hasn't been picked up for a long time. I noticed that the art style from its' time (eight years ago) is similar with other mangas of the same timeline. Do you still see styles like this at the present time? I find the cat eyes distracting and I also like the cute mushroom club names. This really got me wondering of what will happen with the guys. This is a Chinese comics or manhua and not to be confused with Korean comics or manhwa. And I only learned the difference just now. I didn't notice the difference in the spelling and meaning before.  

"Pia Carrot" dating game gets reversed. It's now a girl about to work as waitress in a restaurant filled with bishie co-workers. The otome game is entitled, " Pri Pia ~Prince Pia Carrot~ " and will be released on October 23. More info from ANN . This news reminds me of the reversal of genders in "Sakura Taisen Kanadegumi". This is old news but the Naruto fandom was rocked by the Reverse Harem no Justu. More info Naruto Wikia . I'm a fan of Naruto but I'm so behind now with the anime. But back when I first started this blog. I posted the Kakeshi's clones as Kakeshi harem. I never thought that it will actually be put in use in the future.  Get a chance to win all the six paperback of The Ghost Bird Series plus Thief by joining the author's giveaway . And it's autographed by the way.

My first post of a fantasy battle between Uta Prince no Sama and Brothers Conflict needs to be updated. It has now become a royal rumble with the addition of Kamigami no Asobi. Is this going to be a trend now in reverse harem? I hope so! So who's your favorite group?

Kamigami no Asobi Ludere Deorum- 12 episodes Yui Kasunagi is transported to a mysterious garden together with gods from different mythologies. There's the Greek Gods: Hades, Dionysius and Apollon, Japanese Gods: Takeru and Tsukito, Norse Gods: Loki, Balder and Thor and oh yeah an Egyptian teacher, Thoth. The gods are tasked to get closer to humanity through interaction with their human classmate, Yui. I loved the premise of teaming up different gods from different mythologies. I'm really into Greek and Roman mythologies back in college. I also loved the fact that my nickname, Iris, is a Greek goddess of the rainbow. But sadly the plot didn't offer much. It did succeeded though in providing eye candy-- handsome and scantily clad gods and colorful animation -- and funny school misadventures. I thought featuring one or two half-naked god/s were going to be the standard fare but it stopped after fourth or fifth episode. The anime also reminded mo of a lot of prev...

Shoujo manga "Strobe Edge" will be adapted into a live action film. From ANN . First "Akatsuki no Yona", now "Strobe Edge"! More shoujo manga adaptations please! I agree with the comments in the news that we kind of wish it's an anime instead of live action.  "Youth Over Flowers" has another second group to also fly out of the country and guess what it's the flower boys of "Reply 1994!" Grabage oppa is busy with other commitments so he wasn't able to join. So what do we call this reverse harem spinoff meets ex-reverse harem flower boys? From dramabeans . The premiere of  "The Record of Night Watchman" will be moved to August 4 as the kdrama "Triangle" on its' timeslot will be extended for two more episodes. From dramabeans . Aww that's sad, I'm already excited to watch this.  Enter the raffle contest and win a free physical copy of "Falling for Sakura...

The shoujo manga "Akatsuki no Yona" will be animated. It's about a princess who escapes after her father was killed by someone very close to her. From ANN . (I have read this but haven't had time to pick it up again and a lot of people have been suggesting this. Okay, this is now on my priority list to read.) The film rights for young adult novel, "To All The Boys I've Loved Before" has been bought. More info from Deadline . Taken via Jenny Han's twitter . The otome game, "Ozmafia", will get an official English version. It's mafia meets bishified scarecrow, tinman and lion. More info from Crunchyroll . In relation with the F4 reunion I've posted before. Here's the extended trailer of "Lupin III" with Jerry Yan. Still no glimpse yet of Kim Joon. After the success of "Grandpa Over Flowers" and "Noona Over Flowers", here comes "Youth Over Flowers. From dramabeans . Can...
