Nyan Koi! 4 – Sora no Manimani 7

Blogged by on Saturday December 12th, 2009 at 12:41 am in English, Manga (spoilers), Nyan Koi !, Sora no Manimani | 2 Comments »

Today’s scans posting action is 2-in-1.

Nyan Koi! volume 4 – Been released since a while now, I’m late on this one. Curse the japanese library which didn’t feel like getting any copy of it. Though actually, I’ve nothing to post about it.

Well, as always it was epic. Just that the book mainly contains two long arcs : Ichinose-sempai’s omiai, and a Kaede/Kotone double date. So scanning some pages out of context is really difficult.

nyankoi04

Just two things I wanted to say about it though :
– Kotone-chan is awesome. I’ll have hard time not rooting for her from now on.
– Book ends with some kind of climax that makes think that the manga won’t continue to run for so long. Like, 1 or 2 volumes left if the things continue that way.

Next volume seriously needs Akari chapter and the habitual iyashi-kei Chizuru-san chapter which was sadly absent from this book.

Personal Rating :

=====

Same kinda goes for Sora no Manimani volume 7. One very long arc (almost all the book) between two random chapters. Means not so much story/romances development this time. Still, you can feel that the manga is slowly but surely reaching its conclusion.

Anyway, was lulz and heartwarming smiles on every pages as always~

soramani07_0002
The first chapter is about the tenmonbu performing a couple of stories from the Greek Mythology for a bunch of neighborhood kids.

soramani07_0003
Hime-chan is Hera~
Mihoshi is… WTF ?! XD

soramani07_0004
Then comes the main part of the book : the second Bunkasai.

soramani07_0005
Sayo-chin is LOVE

soramani07_0006
Random nice chapter splash~

soramani07_0007
And Bunkasai means also tons of sub-chars appearing~
like… Keionbu ! XD

soramani07_0008
For having a chance at using the scene which is monopolized by ‘big’ clubs such as the Keionbu or the Engekibu, Saku decides to join forces with minor clubs such as the English Club, the ‘Muscle Maniacs’ club and the chorus club among others.
Which means even moar sub-chars XD

soramani07_0009
The sub-char angel from this volume is this cute unnammed hairband-chan from the English club <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

soramani07_0010
The English club’s performance~

soramani07_0011
Final chapter is some good ol’ awesome one-chapter-story~
And it’s lovely Hime-chan no yuuutsu chapter <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Hime-chan finds a love letter from a guy she doesn’t know… :o

soramani07_0012
XD
Read conclusion of this very nice chapter in volume 7~
Hime-chan <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

soramani07_0013
But what I found the most epic in this book is actually the omake short story : Ishi no Manimani XD
Or, how lovely Emi-chan became crazy about stones XD
Badass loli Emi-chan <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

soramani07_0014
Right page : she luvs her onii-chan~
Left page : but she starts getting jealous at his clubmates XD
And decides to find out what can be that thing supposedly “more funny than spending time with Emi-chan” XD
Man that angry face on the top left is absolutely awesome XD <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

soramani07_0015
Happy loli Emi-chan~

soramani07_0016
Epic bonus pages~

Just like I said, it’s likely that SoraMani will end with one or two more books. Anyway I’m really looking forward the next volume, I expect some romance development coming, and a finale with sweet tears and love.

Nyan Koi ! volume 3

Blogged by on Monday June 1st, 2009 at 5:56 pm in English, Manga (spoilers), Nyan Koi ! | 2 Comments »

Been busy recently, but it’s finally time for some random scans posting action.

Nyan Koi volume 3. I had this book in my queue for quite a while and finally have read it about a couple of weeks ago.

nyankoi03_0001

As always it was a nice read. Was mostly about the mysterious kouhai-chan who appears at the end of volume 2 (see previous Nyan Koi post) and who seems to know about Junpei’s curse…

nyankoi03_0002
The day after what happened at the end of the previous volume, Junpei searches for the mysterious girl. But that’s the girl who actually finds him first…

nyankoi03_0003
The girl gives him a letter and leaves.
Junpei is pretty suspicious because of what happened previously with Ichinose-sempai, but after opening it he sees that it’s a real love-letter for him XD
The name on the letter is ‘Kotone Kirishima’.
… but the girl takes it back XD

nyankoi03_0004
“Don’t get it wrong, I HATE YOU !”
J : “(I’ve been dumped just after being confessed…!!?)”
But the girl finally gives him an appointment after school at the temple where he got cursed because she has something to tell him…

nyankoi03_0005
“Hello, Kousaka-sempai. I’m the first-year Kirishima”
^ dude she looks so CUTE here.
That funny face just before that is pretty cute too XD

nyankoi03_0006
Even though she knows about Junpei’s curse (she is sensible to spirits and stuffs), she actually didn’t want to talk about it…
“Don’t come near Kotone anymore !”
J : “…. huh !?????”
“Don’t play dumb with me ! You just got a love letter from Kotone,
didn’t you !?”
J : “Well… that’s you.”

nyankoi03_0007
OMG THERE’RE 2 KOTONE KIRISHIMA !?
(classic)

nyankoi03_0008
And so, Nyan Koi ! gets its obligatory pair of lovely twins~
Kotone the older one who loves Junpei, and Akari the younger one who hates him XD

nyankoi03_0009
awww, Akari was a bitch at Junpei because she didn’t want to be separated from her onee-chan~
(classic)

nyankoi03_0010
!!!!?

nyankoi03_0011
Right page, bottom panel : <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

nyankoi03_0012
Twins flag GET
Now that’s really harem manga XD <3 <3 <3 <3

nyankoi03_0013
Left page, upper-left panel : man Akari is just too frikkin CUTE
I think I just found my fav girl in this manga <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

nyankoi03_0014
Pool chapter~
saabisu saabisu~

nyankoi03_0015
Ichinose-sempai is here too~

nyankoi03_0016
!?
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Ichinose-sempai : ザ・DFC !!!!

nyankoi03_0017
!?
XD
Lucky Junpei… ?

nyankoi03_0018
Ends with Kanako moment~
I’m glad that the author didn’t forget about Kanako.
Buddy girls are cool.

nyankoi03_0019
K : “(Crap ! Being with Junpei is just too fun…)”
K : “(It would have been easier if I didn’t notice that I was in love with him though…)”
Honestly… KANAKO MUST GET JUNPEI
For the sake of all buddy girls. For Satsuki from Ichigo 100%.
XD

nyankoi03_0020
This volume too gets its Chizuru-san chapter.
As in the previous volume, this chapter was love, lulz and iyashi-kei… but this time it got also EPIC ENDING XD (rofl’d hard)
One of the thing I luv about these Chizuru-san chapters is that the other characters actually don’t appear (Chizuru haven’t met any of the other girls yet). It’s like, they’re in their own little world. That’s pretty refreashing and cute~

That’s all~

This book actually gets more lovely moments, but I prefer not to post too much from it for not spoiling the fun.

A word about the anime version they’re preparing, there’s just a thing I’m bit affraid of : if they’re making an anime version so early (3 volumes released so far), I feel like they’ll be doing a 12 episodes show focusing on the Junpei x Kaede x Kanako triangle… and well that would mean no Akari-chan and Chizuru-san… Would be a shame, really :/

Anywany, I’m looking forward to it.

Nyan Koi ! volume 2

Blogged by on Tuesday March 24th, 2009 at 7:32 pm in English, Manga (spoilers), Nyan Koi ! | 0 Comments »

I’ve been wondering why I couldn’t find anything about “Nyankoi !” on the english internet… It’s because it’s been romanized as “Nyan Koi !” orz (dunno, for some reason I was thinking ‘nyanko’ when I saw the title and thought it was some kind of pun)

Anyway, I’m glad I came across this manga back then (see post about the first volume), because I’ve read the second volume last week and it was really nice~

Time for some random scans~ (been a while)

nyankoi0201
Some big jerk who has been introduced at the end of the first volume, Ichinose-sempai, challenges Junpei.

nyankoi0202
But Junpei totally forgot about it and the guy caught a cold for having stayed 3 days on the school’s roof waiting for Junpei XD

nyankoi0203
“Junpei Kousaka ! Let’s fight for knowing who will get Kaede Mizuno !”
(classic~)

nyankoi0204
… but the guy collapses from his cold, and the crew has to carry him home.

nyankoi0205
And he’s not only a jerk, but he’s also some rich bastard.
(classic~)

nyankoi0206
Ichinose-sempai happens to have a cat, Josephine (XD). It asks Junpei to help Ichinose-sempai to find love, because it’s after being rejected by his first love that he became such a jerk.

nyankoi0207
But helping Ichinose-sempai means giving up on Kaede !
And not giving up on Kaede means becoming a cat !
Pinch !

nyankoi0208
Once the girls are out of the picture, Ichinose-sempai can finally have his challenge. And yeah, he’s a kendoka (classic~).

nyankoi0209
When thunder suddenly strikes nearby…

nyankoi0210
!?

nyankoi0211
REVERSE TRAP KITAAAAA !!!

nyankoi0212
She wears a ‘Sader’ mask and ‘Nagato’ headphones for not being scared by thunder~ XD
“YOU’RE NOT A GUY !?”

nyankoi0213
“WHO ARE YOU CALLING A GUY !!!”
“… even my first love rejected me because he mistook me for a guy”
XD

nyankoi0214
And what had to happen happens~

nyankoi0215
Man, I find her unattractiveness so… attractive XD

nyankoi0216a
Even if Junpei is actually not aware of it, it’s ‘mission complete’ XD

nyankoi0217
Since Ichinose-sempai is in love with both Junpei and Kaede, she decides to ‘back-up’ Junpei and Kaede’s relationship XD
But Kanako won’t let that to happen~
<3

nyankoi0218
After that, it gets a chapter which introduced the obligatory scatterbrained onee-san character : Chizuru, a postwoman with no sense of direction XD
A lovely chapter, kinda iyashi-kei <3

nyankoi0219
Random Kaede pic, who’s still the love & piece <3

nyankoi0220
At the end, obligatory mysterious loliish character appears !

Man, I love the fact that this love-triangle manga suddenly became a harem manga <3

This manga is really a nice surprise, because, just like I said in the post about the first volume, I just picked it randomly in the second-handed books and I wasn’t really expecting too much from it. But it ends up being great <3

The 3rd volume got released about 2 weeks ago, and I’m waiting for it to be delivered. Also, it became popular enough in japan for them to make an anime version~

I wonder why it’s being snobbed by the scanlation limbo, though… well, not that I particularly care anyway…

Nyankoi volume 1

Blogged by on Friday February 6th, 2009 at 7:03 pm in English, Manga (spoilers), Nyan Koi ! | 0 Comments »

Get some time to kill, so here comes some random scans and copypasta~

Nyankoi is a manga I found in the second-hand books a month+ ago at the library, and that I randomly bought cause the cover was cute. It ended up being an amusing manga.

The story is about a guy who has a cat allergy, and he is in love with a girl who loves cats. XD

One day he breaks a cat statue and is hit by a curse that makes him to understand cats’ language. He’s been told the day after by his own cat that he has to help 100 cats or else he will be turned into a cat (which would make him die, since he has a cat allergy XD).

I made some scans that time so I thought it was time to post them.

nyankoi0101
One day, Junpei can understand what his cat says.

nyankoi0102
Unfortunately for Junpei, all the members of his family are cat lovers~

nyankoi0103
The girl he loves : Kaede Mizuno, a super cute tennenko <3 <3 <3 <3

nyankoi0104
How Junpei got cursed~ XD

nyankoi0106 nyankoi0105
The cats tells to Junpei that he has to help 100 cats, or else he will be turned into a cat. He refuses to believe it at first, but he does turn into a cat, and almost die from it.

nyankoi0107
His first ‘mission’ is to help some stray cats which are oppressed by a cat molester…

nyankoi0108
… and the person in question is Mizuno XD

nyankoi0109
J : “loving cats is ok, but cats don’t like being teased too much, you know ? See, it doesn’t look like it appreciates it…”
M : “Even though it’s wagging its tail so much from enjoyment ?”
XD

nyankoi0110
“SAWAN JA NEE~ !” lol~
Seeing the characters running away while crying is some recurrent gag in this manga. XD

nyankoi0111
Mizuno seems not to mind about what happenned the day before. Actually it’s even the contrary, cause Mizuno loev deh GARness XD
Mission complete~

nyankoi0112
Junpei’s childhood friend, Kanako, is a freaking scary yankee girl o_o

nyankoi0113
Mizuno : “they get along well~”
As expected from such a lovely tennenko, she totally misunderstands their relationship~

nyankoi0114
haha XD

nyankoi0115
Mission 2 : a cat living in the school wants to tell its gratitude to a girl who feeds and take care of it everyday, so it wants Junpei to tell “Thank you for everything, I love you” to that girl…

nyankoi0116
… and yeah you guessed it, the girl in question is Kanako~

nyankoi0117
The reason why Kanako started being a bitch at Junpei… awww :/

nyankoi0118
Junpei has to be Kanako’s slave during the school festival after she saw him talking with cats.
Left page, upper panel : Mizuno “Kohsaka-kun, fight da yo~ !”
XD

nyankoi0119
Left page, last panel :
“He’s doing a bridge while crying !”
“A naki-bridge !”
lulz~ XD

nyankoi0120
Junpei and Kanako are arguing about what happened when they were kids, when… splash

nyankoi0121
“Oh yeah, I forgot that she was actually a girl…”

nyankoi0122
… and she’s actually freaking HAWT <3

nyankoi0123
Mission complete <3 <3 <3
Kanako flag GET, yay love triangle~

nyankoi0124
Junpei and Mizuno’s first encounter, epic XD

nyankoi0125
“DAIJOUBU slap DESU KA !? slap
XD

nyankoi0126
Since she got the highest grades during the entrance exam (?!), Mizuno gets to do the entrance speech. At the end, she says : “This morning something great happened. I fell in love with this school. I’m really glad I entered this school”.
Junpei : “She’s talking about me… !?”
All the other guys : “She’s talking about me !”
haha XD

A promising manga. <3

Not as hilarious as some stuffs I’ve read recently such as Hyakko or Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, but still a nice reading~
