Today’s random scans posting action is Zettai Karen Children. I’ve been following this manga since several months already and it’s been one of my favorites, so it was about time I start posting something about it.

Starting where the anime ended. Means, when ZA CHIRUDOREN ‘grow up’ (lol).

A few words about this manga for people who ain’t into it. ZKC is a shounen (I think ?) manga that we can somewhat summarize like this : X-men with lolis. In a world in which ESPers live among normal people, japanese government has created a group called BABEL that hire ESPers for fighting against terrorists and criminals (humans or ESPers). And that BABEL group happens to have the three most powerful ESPers in the world (Level 7) working for them. But these three level 7 ESPers are actually three little girls with horrible personalities. XD Then, it’s mostly a succession of lulz and fighting action, with a bit of seriousness when they eventually meet other ESPer groups who want to start a war between ESPers and normal people.

Ok now time for the scans~

Volume 16. And so, ZA CHIRUDOREN graduated from being ZA CHIRUDOREN~

Right page : so people can see one last time how they looked like before…
Lolicons shed many tears XD

Chisato-chan <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Honestly, the moeness of this manga has been MULTIPLIED BY 1000 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Wait a second… THEY’RE 12 YEARS OLD !?
LOL~
No wonder the other characters haven’t changed one bit, the story jumped only 2 years forward ^^;
When I saw the first time how they look like now, and that there are now middle-schooler, I thought they had at least 15 ^^;
They’re still ZA CHIRUDOREN finally XD

So middle-schoolers CHIRUDOREN’s adventures start with an adorable Aoi-chan chapter, which makes me think again that Aoi-chan is definitely the one for Minamoto. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Bath scenes are now epic.

New grade, new classmate : Yuuri Kumoi.
And her first name suits her perfectly <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

“KUSO, MOETE SHIMAU !!!”
XD
Shit, I’ve been moe’d too XD
On a side note : Kaoru turns girls gay <3 <3 <3

Random sekuhara~
Kaoru : “Chisato-chan, thanks for being born ! Thanks for having grown up !”
XD

Reversed sekuhara ! XD

Volume 17 starts with 12 years old Naomi.
For some reason 12 years old Naomi looks as young as 10 years old CHIRUDOREN, and 12 years old CHIRUDOREN looks almost as old as the actual Naomi… lol

Yuuri-san is LOVE.
Right : “It’s so nice… to have friends~”
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Left : these o_o and ;_; faces are <3 <3 <3

Kaoru asked Sakaki to hit on a girl for her (but he failed XD ).
Minamoto is sure a lucky guy.
Must be nice to have a girl who’s lesbian, and straight for you only~

Yuuri-san is LOVE. (2)
Chisato : “But… Can I put it in a aquarium ? I feel bad for it, being in such a small place. I want to put it in a large aquarium, with lot of medaka (?). I’m sure it would prefer to be with lot of friend~”
Yuuri-san : “yeah… you’re right”
SO HUGGABLE, YUURI-SAN !
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Prelude to epic arc.
The “Minamoto gors back to his hometown for a omiai” arc XD

Minamoto received a phone call from his mom.
A : “By the way, we’ve yet to meet Minamoto-han’s family…”
M : “Well, there isn’t any reason for you to meet my family…”
K : “WHY !? SHE’S THE PERSON WHO WILL BECOME OUR MOTHER-IN-LAW !?”
M : “LIKE HELL ! And wait, “OUR” !? Marrying all of you, what heretic doctrine is that ?!” (<< litt.)
S : “So you are actually ok to marry one of us ?”
A : “YOSH ! LET’S JANKEN !”
I approve of that doctrine, religion or whatever that Kaoruism is called.

Right : Na*i Shiho & Aoi, ready to ruin Minamoto’s omiai. Kaoru on the other hand is in yuuutsu mode during all the arc.
Left : random awesome reaction. And Kaoru is still all “nan darou… sono kimochi ?!”

Minamoto-mama~

Mio-chan KITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!
And Kazura-chan !!!!
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Mama : “So how about one of you becoming his bride ? The three of you if you want to !!”
S : “IT’S OK !?”
A : “Okaa-han !”
Minamoto-mama approves the Kaoru doctrine.

I see ero-doujin material here.
Continuation in volume 17~

Volume 18. For the first time, cover doesn’t get ZA CHIRUDOREN o_o
well Pandora is ok but…  NO MIO AND KAZURA ? wtf
Contains also that Kaoru panel Aya Hirano worked on… in the omake part of the manga XD

Actually, have nothing to post about this volume ’cause it was fights, revelent moments, and fights.
（゜∇゜）b : Shiho-chan. Gets a bit more of spotlight than the other chirudoren, and offers some many lovely moments. She still looks pretty cute too (seeing how she will look so slutty once adult saddens me a lot). Nggg… Definitely can’t choose a fav between Shiho and Aoi >_<
（-_-）p : Mio-chan. Doesn’t appear. The main theme of the book is ‘Pandora is back’ tho, but she just doesn’t appear. Nor Kazura-chan. orz

The omake page with the panel Aya Hirano worked on… XD

Done. Actually, I’ve just started to watch the anime version. I like the OP. Pretty catchy, and the fact that it’s being sung by real 10~12 years old cracks me up. XD

Also, just got my hand on the new Lucky Star and iM@S Break books. Also waiting for the new Nyan Koi and Hyakko, and the new Hayate no Gotoku got released in japan. Epic month !

Again, it’s time for some SoraMani random scans posting action.

Volume 6 was all about the crew’s summer vacation. It was (as usual) filled with intense love & piece, iyashi-kei, and a bit of melancholy with some of the characters wondering about what they would do after graduation, about their future and stuffs. A very nice book which reminded of Hyakko volume 4.

Be careful, incoming scans contains major dose of moe.

Starts with obligatory Tanabata chapter and yukata service~
The girl on the left, next to Hime’s friends Emiri and Mayu, is Aiko. She appeared several times before, and she’s actually one of the cutest little things of this manga. But since she’s actually dating that horrible chonmage guy, I never felt like posting pics of her before… >_>
Anyway, awesome Hime chapter <3 <3 <3 <3

After that, it gets a very large part about the network going on obligatory camp, during which they are making their very own hand-made telescope.
Just like in the previous volume with Akina, one of the numerous super cute sub-characters gets spotlight in this book, and gets many many love points.
So this time, it’s An-san.
She appeared many times before. She’s the stars otaku combi’s kouhai. She became the new ‘leader’ of the network after that Oumi-tan and the otaku combi graduated. And let me tell you straight : she fills this book with delicate lovelyness and gentle moe.
The new #1 SoraMani super lovely sub-chara. AN-SAN IS PURE IMMACULATE LOVE.
On a side note, we get a new otaku duo~

An-san is going to attack.
OMG WHO’S THE LUCKY GUY ?!

omg she loves Saku.
*love points go up*
Yeah, I must have a fetish for girls who have one-sided love with the male lead and 0% chance to get him…
An-san <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

wait… WHAT !!!!
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO AN-SAN, YOU JERK !!!! (<<< me and Edogawa)
Answer in volume 6 XD
and moar An-san goodness inside~

3 random An-san moments, shining with innocent cuteness.

Former #1 SoraMani super lovely sub-chara Akina (she gratuated so she’s out of rank now) making a short appearance for looking over her kouhai-tachi.

An-san is SoraMani’s Ayumu : futsuu de suteki.
She gets that charm that some ‘ordinary’ girls have.
MAI ENJE~RU

Summer camp arc ends with random author talk, and the couple of most lovely SoraMani sub-chars (well Aiko is out of rank too since she has a guy…)

After that we get to see everybody’s summer vacation, in the same fashion that in Hyakko #4.
Oumi-tan saabisu~
… Roma-buchou, you lucky bastard ! XD

Edogawa-imouto (Miku) KITAAAAAAAAA !!!!!

Otanjoubi omedetou Saku~
August 15th ! just like me ! XD

And finally, obligatory “Fuumin has one of the most charming smiles in manga history” moment.
HIME-CHAAAAAAAAN T_T
Sorry… sorry but how can you cannot root for Fuumin when seeing this ? T_T

So, it was actually the last released book. Catched up with releases in japan. Means no moar random scans regarding SoraMani until a next volume gets released. Since the anime ended, where am I getting my SoraMani fix now ? T_T

Okay I’ve read volume 5 about a week ago, so it’s about time I throw some random scans.

Nothing to say in particular about it, nor many scans to post. A school year ends, a new one begins. Some characters graduates and leaves the story, and some new characters are introduced. Well, there isn’t as many new characters as in previous volumes though. It’s some kind of tradition in each SoraMani volumes to bring many cuties, but this book only contained one new cutie, surprisingly enough.

No drama, a bit of melancholy when seeing some of characters parting with the crew, but as always many many MANY relaxing love & piece.

I guess it’s enough for an intro.

Continuing the trip in mountains that started in previous volume, and it starts with onsen saabisu~ \o/
OTOME NO RAKUEN

Akina-chaaaaan <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Sayo-chaaaan <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Mai Enje~ru <3 <3 <3

Spring is approaching, means graduation time for many chars, including the awesome stars otaku duo :/
One last pic as a tribute~
AKINA MY LOVE

New grade, and Hime-chan is particularly motivated about getting new members !
Because well… She ended up being in a different class than Saku, so she does her best for not letting the club to be disbanded XD

Random super cute literature club trio panel~

And since it’s new grade, it means new chars !
And Astronomy Club gets its new cutie : Emi-chan.
But one problem : She doesn’t want to join the Astronomy club, but the Earth Science club XD (reminder : Earth Science club doesn’t exist anymore and became the Astronomy club)

Most of the time, Emi-chan gets the same plain face, but her funny faces are priceless~ XD <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

The crew gets baito for buying a telescope~
TELL ME THE ADRESS OF THAT FAMILY RESTAURANT PLEASE

Again, when I see such a smile I can’t help thinking for a short moment that Fuumin is the one for Saku.
One of the most charming smile in manga history, I tell you.
FUUMIN <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Awesome~ XD
Déjà-vu !?! XD

H : “Emi-chan you seems to be ok too, do you want to drink mine ?”
E : vomits
lol~

Last page of the book.
Saku : “(Haruko-san, you’re mistakiiiing !!!)”
hahaha~

One more book before catching up with japan… orz

It’s been a while that I haven’t bought something new.

Ani Koi (アニコイ)

No, that ain’t a bro-con manga. AniKoi stands for ‘Anime mitai ni Koi shitai’ (I want to live a love story like the ones in anime). This is a manga I saw in an advertising paper some months ago, and when it has been released last week at the japanese library I haven’t waited long before buying it. Why ? ‘Cause personally, I’m totally fond of otaku-related manga such as Genshiken or Otaku no Musume-san.

Well, the full title tells enough about the story. The main character is a cute looking guy who happens to be a hardcore otaku. He has a dream that I think we otaku have all : he wants his life to be like a rabukome anime. I finally gave a read at this book yesterday, and I can say that it’s a very promising manga.

I ended up scanning a nice bunch from it. So just as I usually do for new manga, I’ll be posting random scans while adding notes about the story, letting you choose if it can be relevent to your interests or not, instead of trying to convince you by any prices to read it.

The main guy, Takatoki. Quite popular because of his cute face, but he is only interested in a love like the ones in anime, an Ani Koi~
If you’re wondering about the dragon, it’s his imaginary ‘friend’, and the actual narrator of the story.

His childhood friend Chiyoko, that everyone misread as Inoko.
Even her supposed childhood friend XD
But that’s some kind of a recurrent gag since everybody calls her with a different name everytime~
Yankee girl with kansai accent, and the strongest badass in town XD

A cute girl ? being cornered by two yankees ?
TYPICAL RABUKOME ANIME SITUATION KITA~ !

Right page : Takatoki plans to escape with the girl (yeah he’s not really a courageous guy XD), but…
left page : bad guys are already being pwnd by Chiyoko XD

x : “… You’re letting the girl fight alone ?”
T : “Yup !”
x : “(what pure eyes…)”
T : “Don’t worry, she’s a gorilla anyway~”
x : “I see… But I can’t escape. My favorite anime hero wouldn’t do such a thing…”
T : “Eh ?”
x : “Those yankees were actually picking on middle-schoolers, and I couldn’t forgive it…”
“… so I wanted an ‘Ani Koi'”

But her ‘Ani Koi’ is a bit different… XD
It doesn’t stand for “Anime mitai ni Koi shitai”, but “Anime mitai ni Koto shitai'” (I want to do things characters in anime do) XD

Seeing such a peculiar girl, Takatoki immediately grows love for her. XD

The next day, Takatoki searches for the girl, but he can’t remember her name, nor her face without fake eyebrows XD
(As you have noticed, he’s our good ol’helpless guy)

They come across a jerk who is recruiting members for his club, by attacking people with a shinai.
Chiyoko is the only one avoiding the attack successfully, so the guy invites Chiyoko to join his club~
You can guess her answer~ :p

And hawt seitokaichou appears~
But man… Her name is Anjolinajolie Azuchi XD (typo intended)
Seriously !? XD
I thought it was some kind of nickname related to her hawtness, but that’s her true firstname indeed XD
Everybody calls her Jolina (except the jerk here who calls her Angeliko).
But man… lol XD

The weird guy is actually the Anime Club President, Fumon Jionji (awesome name again XD ).
I dunno about the drama CD (yup there’s one), but (my) image CV : Katsuyuki Konishi XD (Kamina in Gurren Lagann)

Next day again, Chiyoko finds out that the weird cosplay girl is actually a girl from their school, Yotsugi Asazuma.

doki
Is Jolina actually in love with Jionji ?! :o

Chiyoko finally finds Yotsugi… and wants to make her disappear so she can have Takatoki all for herself XD

Round 1, FIGHT !
But…

TYPICAL RABUKOME ANIME SITUATION KITA~ ! (2)

But again things don’t turn as Takatoki expected XD
Not a surprise, Yotsugi is a member of the anime club~
… and they still want Chiyoko to join ! (yeah, Takatoki is just an ‘extra’ to them XD )

Chiyoko is ready to join the club for making her guy happy~
She reminds me of Kanako from Nyan Koi a lot <3

Another (epic) attempt from the anime club at recruiting Chiyoko~
crash
x : “Don’t worry, it happens all the time~”
C : “All the time !!?”
J : “N- No need to worry, Imoko(?)-kun… Things like that may happens, so my body is well-trained !”
T : “By the way, that’s not the case for me (I’m a girl after all)”
lol~
We also get to see the 2 other members of the anime club : Natsuko the happy-fatty-chan and Fuyuko the osage-meganekko.

The duo finally joins, but they’re still short on members.
So they randomly pick up a passing-by cool-megane-kun XD
By the way Natsuko and Fuyuko are actually twin sisters. XD

Good (?) pick, since the guy is actually an elitist otaku (you know, those guys who love ghibli films, Monster and ‘high-quality’ anime, and despite moe anime)

They’re all wrong in their head, but they do have a serious project for the bunkasai though :
making their own animation.
Book end here~

Back of the book.
I must confess that the ‘awesome gundam cosplay’ reference was the thing that definitely made me think ‘MUST GET THIS BOOK’ XD

This book reminded me of Genshiken on many points. But mainly as the fact that finally, the main character isn’t the male lead Takatoki, but Chiyoko. Just like Saki in Genshiken, she’s a ‘normal’ girl who’s in love with an otaku, and eventually has to stick with a bunch of freaks. And I felt like the manga was focusing a bit more on that than on Takatoki’s romance(s). After all, that’s Chiyoko the anime club wants, not Takatoki. XD

But well… unlike Genshiken, Ani Koi is way more crazier, less realistic and gets more of rabukome elements, so no that ain’t Genshiken ripoff. Anyway, it was a very nice read, and I’m looking forward the next volume~

One last thing. You can call me sick, but because every girls in manga are cute and have nice bodies, let me say this : NATSUKO-CHAN MOEEEE~ ! XD

No seriously, it’s fun to see a fatty-chan in a manga once in a while. XD

Today’s random scans posting action is about a manga I fell in love with recently, which also is actually being animated : Sora no Manimani.

I decided to check this manga when I saw the news about it being animated about 3 months ago in Newtype. Well, I will start by saying this :

If you’re not already reading/watching this, you fail.

I won’t talk about the story ’cause well… it actually doesn’t get much of a story. This is a ‘slice-of-life’ manga about an astronomy club, an iyashi-kei manga filled with Love & Piece, comedy, and a very bit of drama. If you’re into this, you just can’t miss it.

And more importantly… You never saw such a high concentration of cute girls in a manga in you life, EVAR. From the main characters, to the unnamed background sub-characters, this manga gets nothing but lovely female characters.

Ok, I guess it’s enough for an introduction. Now let’s spread many <3s as usual~

Mihoshi, the adorable genki baka who’s crazy about stars~
Saku, the main guy, is some kind of mix of Kyon and Yuuki (genderswapped Nagato) : a ‘tsukkomi’ bookworm who joins the astronomy club (not totally) against his will.

Sayo, Mihoshi’s best friend.
SO BEAUTIFUL <3 <3 <3

And then comes my fav character so far, Hime-chan.
MY ANGEL <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Buchou : “Actually, they’re not going out together…”
Hime : “EH ?”
Hime : “Buchou-san, I’m joining the astronomy club !”
XD <3
oh man that face of her on the right page… <3 <3 <3

It gets also some hawt seitokaichou, Kotozuka-sempai, aka Fuumin~
<3 <3 <3

Epic intro page for epic chapter. Hime XD

Right page : <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Mihoshi : “If you dress like that, you won’t complain if you get attacked… by mosquitos !!!”
lol~

Sayocchi <3 <3 <3
Well, sadly enough that’s pretty unlikely that she will join the love equation tho… yeah, I was hoping it would become harem manga…

The girl in the very first panel is Yoko, some lovely huge random classmate who appears occasionally. So damn cute <3
Also, she’s in love with the main guy~

Saku escapes from club’s activities, and the bookworm meets the bookworm~
I feel something nice is happening~
… not mentionning that the seitoukaichou is actually astronomy club’s natural enemy XD

Hime~ <3 <3 <3 <3
Her onee-san should tell her that when wearing pajamas, pants are unnecessary. Pajama-shita nante kazari desu, erai hito ni wa sore ga wakaranai no desu.

End of volume 1~
Right page, bottom right panel : DEH LOVE <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
I’m glad I picked up that manga~

Back cover : a hint about how will evolve the love equation ?
Anyway, many <3s

Volume 2, and SoraMani continues to get cute background characters, such as Hime’s friends Emiri (<3 <3 <3 <3 <3< 3) and Mayu (<3 <3 <3).

Mihoshi, so adorable~
naisu sukkinshippu~

Hime~ XD
lulz and many <3s

SAYOCHIN IS HAWT
Left pages : moar cute background chars : Izumi-san (short hair) and Yoshinari-san (long hair) from the literature club.
Yoshinari-san <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hime : SO CUTE <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Emiri <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

One thing got confirmed in this second volume : Fuumin is my second fav <3

Volume 3, and new cute girls just never stop to appear XD
Saku’s best (?) friend’s imouto, Miku-chan.
SO DAMN CUTE <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

The crew starts sharing activities with other schools’ astronomy club, which means even more cute girls appearing~
Such as Ayumi, aka Oumi-tan.
Man those tsurime of her are hawt <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

There are also these 2 ‘stars otaku’ (?) from an all-girl school.
Instantly grew love for the one with long dark hair. <3

But still… Hime-chan is just the BEST.
Most epic Hime-chan moment EVAR XD
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Omake pages are Oumi-tan flashback.
aww she was all boyish before~

Volume 4, that I’ve just finished to read.
As always, was overflowing with intense Love & Piece~
Obligatory “Main guy bumps into the meganekko and accidentally breaks her glasses” chapter XD

She can’t see anything without her glasses~
Right page, bottom right panel : <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Even though Hime is my fav, I can’t help but feel for a short moment that Fuumin should be the one for Saku when she comes up with such a smile.

Square glasses~
Cute ! <3
Right page, upper right panel : Yoshinari-san <3 <3 <3 <3

Mihoshi is constantly in need for skinship, that’s why I luv her so much~
Mihoshi x Hime <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Ok, starting here it’s all about my beloved star otaku XD
Boku no mai enje~ru~

Right page : she eventually gets a proper introduction !
Her name is Akina~
Awesome otaku girl B is Minami (she’s called by her last name for some reason).
Left page : as you can expect from SoraMani, Minami is actually quite a beauty too~

nyari~ <3

And well yeah, they’re stars otaku XD
omg Akina luvs deh GARness XD

Funny face~

She also appears on the back cover !
Yay colors~

6 books have been released so far. See ya soon with volume 5~

===

As I said at the beginning of this post, the anime is actually being aired. I don’t find the character design to be as cute as in the manga, but that’s still a very cute and enjoyable show. I like the opening very much~

Hime-chan anime version <3

Sayo is still totally hawt and beautiful in the anime <3 <3 <3

Anime gets also Youko-tan~

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Left pic : The literature club = Otome no rakuen ! <3
Right pic : Yoshinari-san, right in the middle. She actually gets some nice boobage XD <3 <3 <3 <3
Some another very cute girl also appeared on the right, a bit separated from the others for some reason.

Love & Piece~

MY ANGEL !

The way this scene was animated reminded me of THIS. XD

ザ・lovely sub-characters.
Yoshinari-san <3 <3 <3
Emiri looks particularly cute with these red cheeks <3
… but I thought she was actually blonde. :o (her hair aren’t colored in the manga). I wish Edogama-imouto Miku-chan got a proper introduction like in the manga…

Fuumin is totally HAWT.
Kudos to her seiyuu Ami Koshimizu (Tenma in School Rumble), great work.

That was the 100th post of this blog~

Some weeks ago, I came across the first volume of a iM@S manga at Book-Off.

Since I wasn’t expecting anything good from it, I put that book way back in my reading queue, and I finally gave it a read some days ago.

As a iM@S fanboy, I had to make a post about it. And well, made already a post about ‘Break !’ (see here) so I had to make a post about this one too.

‘relations’ is a 2 volumes-long manga which as been released last year. The art isn’t as good as in ‘Break’, and it gets 0 service, but I must say that I found the story way, WAY better. Yup, surprisingly enough, the story is rather interesting, making it the best iM@S related manga I’ve read so far.

As I did for ‘Break’, I won’t go for a long summary of the story, so I’ll just throw the usual random scans with comments.

Unlike ‘Break’, ‘relations’ features all the idols from the game, but the main character is actually Miki.

A short time after having recruited Miki, Producer-san decides to make her start as a member of a trio unit, the ‘Namco Angels’, with Iori and Yukiho.
Surprisingly, the author’s choice works and it ends up being a rather cute trio~, GJ !

In this manga, Chihaya is already a top idol, nicknamed ‘the idol who never smiles’. She was Producer-san’s former protégé, but they ‘broke up’ for some mysterious reason, which is apparantly why she constantly has this sad face.

On the other side, Producer-san decides to use her new protégé’s bright smile as her #1 charm point (who said that her main charm point was her breasts ?).

But when the trio finally gets some popularity, Producer-san decides to disband it so Miki can make her solo debut.

Then, Miki starts feeling all lonely, and misses Iori and Yukiho. That was cute~

But after some words from her two friends, Miki finally gets a grip of herself.
M : ” ‘Top Idol’ is the summit, right ?”
P : “?”
M : “It’s the best, right ?”
P : “Well, yeah.”
M : “Everybody will have to do what I say, right ?”
P : “Well… That’s a bad way to put it, but yeah in this business you can have this kind of power…”
M : “Then, I’ll become a Top Idol ! You said that I should have an objective ? Then I’ll become a Top idol, I’ll become famous enough to be able to go against your decisions, and reform the Namco Angels. That’s my objective.”
Man that was kind of cool~
Miki kakko ii <3

The ‘Idol Master Grand Prix’ is approaching, and (original) rival characters start to appear !
That’s all for the first half of the book. You will have to check this book for more~

At the very end of the book, we get to see what actually happened between Chihaya and Producer-san.
Chihaya is a genius who lives only for the music, but because of that she always has been alone. One day, a beginner producer joins the Namco prod., and becomes the one in charge of Chihaya.

This new producer actually has some knowledge about music, and Chihaya finally finds somebody she can share her passion with.
Right page, second panel : CHIHAYA~ !!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Dere Chihaya KITA ! This book gets many win points just with this scene~

But because of Chihaya’s high abilities, Producer-san starts to feel useless, and says to Chihaya that she doesn’t need him anymore.
“To be saved once and then be dropped again, is a much deeper solitude.”
Chihaya~ ;_;

From here starts a race for the Idol Master Grand Prix between the ‘Egao no Tensai’ and the ‘Egao no nai idol’~

That’s all for this book. It gets more goodness so be sure to check it if you’re a iM@S fan. I’m leaving to japan soon so I don’t feel like spending money ordering the second book, but I really look forward to it and hope I will come across it at Book-off~

See ya~

One last junk before taking some vacation.

Hayate no Gotoku got a new OP. But let’s not forget how nice the previous one was. Especially this part that I was never bored of :

I’ve come to think recently that Izumi is the one for Hayate, but some Red x Blue is always welcome.

And now, omake time~

Again, made some quick portrait-ish junks before getting started. Well, thanks to that I could notice that Izumi looks more “Izumi-like” when her iris and upper ‘eyelid’ aren’t connected, unlike here.

Accidentally put contrast to max, and I thought that it actually looked kind of nice like this… but that’s probably just me XD

===

As for the new OP…

I like the song of the previous OP better. Moreover, the new song gets too much effects and sounds like it’s being sung by a chipmunk. ^^;

But anyway, what’s more important is that this new OP is win for being full of intense MOE~.

Few pics from it :

Hina and Ayu appear a lot in this new OP, definitly giving the feeling that they are the true main heroines of the show.

Made a 4koma for celebrating the fact that my favorite scene from the Hayate no Gotoku manga got animated. Click the pic for hueg size.

[Mugi-sama is watching you]
1# H : “(I was caught off-gard. Just for a moment, my heart fluttered
over a girl)”
2# H : “(All the more reason to make this clear !!)
Okay, Ayumu. You see, I…”
3# A : “Um, do you have to say it now ?”
H : “Eh ?”
4# H : “… who are you ?”

Over nine thousand hours with Paint. Yeah used screenshot as reference for the second panel, no need to mention it, it’s on purpose.

I must say that the scene wasn’t as intense as in the manga, but I liked it anyway~

I mentionned it before, but despite the fact that I know all the story, I enjoy the show pretty much. Mostly because it delivers many lovely faces in every episodes.

Time for some random screenshots~

Ayumu’s smile turns girls gay.

At that moment I heard Miki’s “AI NO KOKUHAKU TAIMU~ !” in my mind XD

Legendary episode gets legendary eyecatch.

Been a long time without manga posts.

And joy on earth, though I’ve almost forgotten about it, the newest Hayate volume got released in japan last week. Got released here yesterday, and immediately gave it a read because HAYATE CAN’T WAIT.

This cover is HAWT (Hamzawa-san).

And since every new Hayate release is a major event to me, here is the obligatory random scans post. Well, compared to previous Hayate posts, I don’t really have that much to post this time. Actually, somewhat like the previous volume, this book was a ‘transition’ volume. The ‘Wataru-mama arc’ ended, and the rest of the book is about the crew getting ready and gathering in Greece for what will probably be the most important arc of the manga and which would probably starts in next volume (I’m just hoping that this arc won’t be the last one orz).

One particular thing I want to say though :

Izumi is the one for Hayata-kun.

My love for Izumi grew a bit again after reading this book. Well, since I’m all for a Ayu x Hina pairing and that Sakuya’s chances for getting Hayate are near from 0%, I’m now totally rooting for a Hayate x Izumi ending. Ok, it gets like 1% of chance to happen but still… Izumi is MAI ENJE~RU.

Ok, time to deliver some <3s.

Wataru-mama : “Long ago, there was a person who was loved even by God. I really loved that person. You can call it ‘adoration’ too. But one day, this person got married with somebody else. It was a huge shock to me.”

At first, I thought that Wataru-mama was gay for Nagi-mama because of the flashback pic. But now that I think of it, since she doesn’t mention any name, it is also possible that she was in love with the guy Nagi-mama got married with. As for why the guy looks like Hayate… well, let’s not think too deeply about it, and just guess that it means that Nagi-mama was in love with her butler. Probably not Hayate’s big bro, or else it would make Hayate to be Nagi’s uncle XD

Nagi’s dreams are becoming more and more perverted ._.
/////

I like seeing Miki and Risa supporting Izumi’s love for Hayata-kun. Well, they mostly pick on her, and I guess that Miki would be glad to see Hayate out of the picture and not interfering with her yuri love for Hinagiku. XD But still, that’s lovely.
And Izumi’s reactions hit me with intense moe every times <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Everybody loves Red-chan <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Little devil Izumi.
DAMN HAWT <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 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Man she surprisingly gets some nice boobage, I’m in love <3 <3 <3

XD
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

After Hina-san, it’s Nagi’s turn to be turned gay by Hamzawa-san’s lovely smile <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hamzawa-san too finally gets her ‘snow-white’ scene. I guess it make her being a step forward Hinagiku. Well, on a side note, I get the feeling that Hina’s chances for getting Hayate are dropping down badly. Firstly because of her ‘I hate to lose so I’m waiting Hayate to confess to me instead of confessing to him’ attitude, and secondly, as Hamzawa-san said in this volume, Hinagiku is just too great for Hayate XD
… That saddens me a bit though…

Preview of the next volume, released in October.
Miki looks DELICIOUS.

And finally, back of the book.
Nagi-mama is <3

That’s all for this time. Well this book contains way more goodness, but I don’t want to kill your fun so go check it.

On a side note, I’m still watching the anime version. That’s the exact adaptation of the manga, so no surprises but very enjoyable, I’m totally satisfied with this show. It’s a gallery of cute faces. Made some screenies, I think I’ll make a post about it later.
