This is just a personal list of whatever manga I happen to read at any given time and have an unnatural urge to write down my feelings. If anyone happends to read this, whatever, it's more for me than anything else.

Firstly, I just read the chapter 2 of Shitsuren Chocolatier.

Comon, Mizushiro Setona.. I don't know you, I'm not even familar with your works that well either. But give me a break.. The first chapter was so gooood I was eagerly awaiting Stiletto Heels's scanlation of the second chapter. EVEN THOUGH, it had been freakin 4 months, I have waited longer. I thought I was in store for a good series. It seems I was depressingly wrong.

This guy is -still- hung up over Saeko. She's an evil bitch succubus that used him for chocolates and dumped him 5 years ago? Move on, dumbass! Seriously, now she's back in the picture and getting married. Now it's moving into the "Let's break them up direction." Who wants her? WHY?! She's not that good looking and let's face it, her personality sucks.

I have to say, I should have expected this outcome. I read over chapter 1 again and I noticed that this was the direction it was going. You know this woman wasn't going away just like that. But geez, I HATE Netorare, seriously, I do not like raging while reading, it's unpleasant and gives me a headache.

Artwork, 7, comparable to a lot of the series I'm in love with. I have no complaints, in fact probably above average.

Characters, 7, not much cookie cutter overlap as far as I can tell. Though the story hasn't progressed that much for me to be able to make out personalities, I'm just hung up over character actions. Obsession, is really the only trait I can make out, which most of the characters share in some form or another.

Story, 8, failed my expectations but I predict a rather enthralling story to come. Even if it's not my personal taste.

Overall, I'll go with an 8, even if I'm raging right now it's still very good.

I think I'm going to drop this at chapter 2.. though god knows when chapter 3 will be out. I doubt I'll want to read it purely because I dislike headaches.

Kimi no Iru Machi

A side note on this series that I need to get off my chest. First being the character known as Eba, who is apparently bi-polar. Her personality at the first of the series, to the time when she suddenly dumps him and then they get back together. Completely different. She changed from a strong personality to one of the meek pushover side characters that usually get raped or die first in most stories.

The entire series is dragging on and on, Hehruto and Eba have only freakin kissed -once- the entire series. The whole kazama arc killed the entire series in one blow. It seriously should of ended a long time ago. If it wasn't for that major fuck up in the plot Seo would of made a series great enough to rival his best work "Suzuka". Instead we're left with this long drawn out garbage of a series.. to which the only reason anyone is reading it anymore is to see if he can possibly fuck it up even more.

I'll edit this whenever I feel like adding something else.
