good thing i bought "The Hana to Yume" from kino yesterday! even though the hana-kimi special ended up being really short and not really about nakatsu/sano/mizuki....i found toraware gokko!!!
hehehe i really hope there will be an english version soon.
and there was also this yomikiri (one-shot) titled: 青と海辺のノスタルジア (romaji: oo to umibe no nostalgia)
about the main character, "osamu" who kept on finding olden day japanese objects ( from the 20s taisho era) on the beach, and one day found a girl that looked like she came from that period as well.should google it. it was good. like "forever honey" by kanno aya. not the story, but the "readable" factor.
and after strolling through the archives of jfilmpowwow.blogspot.com, found another manga series!! hehe: detroit metal city by kiminori wakasugi and it's soooooooooooooooooooooooo funny!!
the story's this guy negishi who moved to tokyo to become a pop artist (he says swedish pop so like the ultimate pop - abba pop) but for some reason he ends up being the lead singer of a popular, indie death metal band called "detroit metal city" and he looks like this on stage as "Krauser the 2nd":
and the funniest bits is when he looks all depressed because no one finds his original (pop) songs any good - it has lyrics about baking cheese tarts, holding hands, going shopping for matching clothes.
watch the ending theme of the anime if u wanna hear how they interpreted it (yes it has an anime, and the movie with ken matsuyama - the guy who plays L in the death note movie- is playing now in japan) - there's one on youtube of the opening and the ending, called satsugai/amai koibito just google that (dunno the quality though, since comp slow and haven't watched it)
ahahahhaha the ending song (amai koibito = sweet lover) it's sooo the opposite of the opening (satsugai = kill) .. i won't even type what it talks about because it's soooooo ...death metal-ish. even though this is the only example i know of
and negishi always clashes with DMC fans (who dress up like the band and never talks of krauser without "san" or "sama" ending his name) and so to save himself he starts playing air guitar or singing lyrics from DMC songs (which he created and is really the singer of) but then gets carried away being krauser-san and ends up offending the girl he likes and is often with - aikawa san- like in one scene he gets drunk in karaoke after drinking milk kahlua and after singing DMC songs, he spits at aikawa-san's face, but he realises what he did after and pretends to vomit ahahahhahaha:
yea anyways. it's good. google and download it. or wait for VIZ to release it next year.
