nocternal
I started reading Ane doki this mourning it seems to be a pretty decent story. I was supprised to find that it was from the same author as Ichigo 100%. After reading that I could see the simulairities in the art style. I got about ten or so chapters into the manga and then started to feel tired so I skimmed to the end.
The ending was fairly suggestive that they both still had feelings for each other. Still it cuts off leaving things slightly open. I really would have liked to see a more concrete ending, where they make up and walk home in arms maybe.
I'm really not liking these opne endings (though this one was much better than other stories) but they are what we get. A proper full flegded ending is rare in Anime and I havent read enough lengthy manga to guage if endings are more common.
While it was sweet and perhaps appropriate that they should meet again and share an indirect kiss over an icecream like they did when they first met, I would have thought that given their age a hug or lip kiss wouldnt be asking to much.
Still as I said the manga just ends, you dont even get to see if he reconises her or what is reply was to "hey can i have some of that ice-cream?"
There was this scene where she first tries to sneak into the leads bed. Seems like she wanted to spoon a little though she makes the excuses that she likes the feel of the matteress springs on her back(as the manga continues we are shown that she clearly wants to spoon).
Well of coarse the lead freaks out and ends up sleeping on the floor. I found the translators note "a real man would sleep in the bed" making a comeback to something the lead says quite funny. There have been other countless funny TN's through out other manga too.
It got me to thinking that yeah it really bothers me how wimpy males tend to be in anime and manga. I often think that if I were in their shoes I would have done something and really if your presented with a situation like that you really should do something.
Later I thought about my past actions and come to the relisation that the shy, wimpy male isnt actually all that far from a realisitic reprensentation. Personally I get quite nervous around women I dont have an specific issue with them, its just an extentsion of my shyness in general. So perhaps the way males are always shown as shy, wimpy, oblivious characters isnt to far of a strech. I think the way I am now though regardless of my nervousness, should I ever find my self in similiar situations I would definately do something instead of bolting.
When I woke up this afternoon (I seem to be mostly nocternal now) I read a couple of oneshots they were hit and miss, after that I read through Lilim Kiss by the same author as before. It was a pretty good story as well, there were some momments of heart ache but it ended on a good note. I actually like this ending more then Ane doki but still I wanted to see more interaction between them, I wanted to follow them as they rebuilt their relationship.
Funny thing this afternoon is that I unknowingly picked up a couple of H-manga. Regardless of this fact I still finished reading them, they were quite funny. The one that was most unexpected was the girls love manga I picked up thinking it was a straight romanace manga, this is the only one I didnt finish as I found it hard to follow the storyline and who was who.
Reading the H-manga got me to thinking about how funny and often unbeleavable the storeyline p**n tries to offer. Its worse in manga you have all sorts of funny and unbealiable things happening their because its ficition and can be drawn. You have shy males or males who havent done it for a while or are a virgin and yet they are masters in the bedroom. Their inhuman stamina is always funny too.
Despite being from a mans fanatsy world it still bothers me how so much attentsion is put into pleasing the male, I still think things should be give and take.
Had my long awaited bath tonight first one in about two years i think, as I usually use the shower. It was a little hot to begin with but my body soon relaxed and I quite enjoyed sweating it out. It made me think of onsen, I really looking forward to trying them when I finally get to Japan. So far i want to visit a public bath, outdoor hotspring somewhere in the wilderness and I wouldnt mind finding lodging somewhere that offers private baths.
Tonight was also a bit of a wake up call, I really felt for the first time how unfit and unhealthy I have become. The bath was nice but the heat, steam and excess sweating made me feel sick and want to pass out. I think its about time I started the jogging, crunches and weights again.

21/3
As i said before I read alot of romance manga. I started this mourning by working through a list of some oneshots it took me a couple of hours and now I think I may have exhausted my oneshot pile.
Sometimes when reading/watching longer manga/anime I become annoyed either due to the way the plot is heading or frustration of wanting to know what lies in the end. Lately I have started to "skim" longer peices. Reading/veiwing the start or as far as I can read before I become frustrated then I skip forward and read/watch the final or last couple of chapters/episodes.
I have this idea before but allways thought that it is better to read/wwatch something through, which is quite true. However once I tried "skimming" I found that it actually worked for me and I wasnt really bothered by missing the middle part of the story. The good stories I still tend to go back and read the middle part out of curiousity at a later date.
This afternoon was a good example of this. I picked up VIRGIN NA KANKEI and about ten chapters in or so I really started to get annoyed with the male lead. I reason I ended up skimming this series was because the male lead came across as an asshole.
Ill admit that he was in a pretty confussing situation but to go around sleeping with all of the women as he did was a bit to much. I really felt for the female lead (as I dont like seeing a women upset). If it had been me I would have keep my d@#$ in my pants till I could addses what was happening. I would also ask questions to clarfy where things were going instead of just jumping to conclusions.
Seeing men behave like this in manga and anime has caused my to reflect on some of my own actions. In future relationships I will try my upmost hardess to keep my partner happy, her happiness would be my happiness.
The thought of making a women cry really bothers me and I think Ill indever in future relationships to make sure that this does not happen. I realise that arguments and misunderstandings happen. Sometimes they need to happen for things to change for the better. Regardless as much as it hurts to see someone upset, I think in such a situation you would have to "stick to your guns"
These thoughts have lead my to reflect (though I need more time) on the relationships I have with people in general. I wonder if thoughts on romantic relationships have a relivance in relationships in general. Of late I havent really been treating people all that well and perhaps this needs to change.
I was talking to my mother tonight and she bought up some of the things that I typed about before. I lost it and ended up having an argument, by the end of it she seemed quite upset. I will reflect on the conversation among of things and see what conclusions I come up with. I really looking forward to my bath tomorrow night.
The ending of VIRGIN NA KANKEI was quite nice, Im glad that he made her happy in the end. The comment about accepting that he might cheat on her and that she would be happy as long as she didnt find out was a little distressing though. I cannot accept cheating in a relationship regardless of the circumstances so I really hope he learnt to keep it in his pants after all that. I think I may go back and read this story another time.
A little while back I sat down and had a think about the term sl@#. I never really liked the word and still dont. I dont think I could ever bring myself to call a women that, Im a bit more comfortable calling a male by the term if he is playing the part, though the word asshole would probably be used instead.
I thought that the word was used to often and often inapropriatelly used to describe people. That casual relationships should be allowed as people are intitled to some fun. To some extent I still think this way because you should have fun in life, if your enjoying a period of casual relationships why not?
Reading VIRGIN NA KANKEI this afternoon has made my reflect on this belief. A casual relationship is fine but you really need to read the mood and make sure that it is only casual for both parties involved and nothing more. Once it becomes anything more for an individual you really need to stop and reasses things.

An update
Im still really into smut and echhi manga. Spent yesterday reading some oneshot manga and other short series. Most of them had pretty satifing endings, only downside is that your sometimes left wanting more. In particular I really enjoyed Kiken Jun'ai D.N.A., that is how a manga/anime should end. I beleave clannad is one of the few other series that does this, though i havent read or seen it yet.
Also read Hen koi yesterday it was pretty funny, really really distrubing though. Ive bee trying to find series like it and found pink de pink or pinku de pinku which is by the same author and is finished but under slow translation. Other then that I havent come across any other series like it. Ghost member just seemed to be straight up hentai with no humour to me.
Just finished reading Tama Hiyori really enjoyed it actually. However it has confirmed something for me. I really hate the childhood friend character. I mean in the end she still wasnt prepared to back off even after all that had happened. Christ women he rejected you for peats sake.
The childhood friend character allways seems to be possesive, constantly dragging the lead around, screwing up his relationships and constantly c@#$ blocking the lead. They seem like quite selfish characters thinking only of their feelings and forgetting the leads and other female characters feelings. Any characters that take their side I harbour a deep feeling of hatered for as well. I think i need a dart board or something so i can let of some steam as Im reading. Thankfully these characters hardly ever get with the lead, what a dissapointing end that would be.
Well I suppose she was a more sweeter character, wasnt posesive and she had an actual good thing going with the lead I wouldnt care so much.
Archiving is going well but damm its so slow. It seems it will be a while till any new stuff is released even if the raws are out, that is just the nature of translating i guess. It kinda enforces the fact that Im going to have to learn how to read japanese.
I was up to date with most of the stuff I wanted but then searching today for some finished stuff to read (as Im on hiastus from anime at the momment) my list has probably doubled in size :D
Mum and dad have been showing their supposedly "concerned" faces lately. Telling me that I spend to much time on the net and waist the day sleeping. They constantly tell me that I should do other things which I agree to some extent but I dont think they really understand my passion for anime and manga and how boring I find the things that they consider "normal". My patience is starting to grow thin on the matter, i think next time I might loose my temper. I dont really mid if i do hopefully if I yell a bit it will sink in.
Another thing if my parents (cant see close up) ask my one more time if they can borrow my glasses (I cant see objects in the distance) I think Im going to explode. They ask me the same question every other day.

Some relief
Updated my archiving of manga yesterday and produced a list so I could monitor where the archiving procees was at. What worries me is that some of the series havent been updated for a while so Im thinking maybe its worth getting hold of the raws to buy them would be nice. Im planning on learning to read and speak japanese at some point so I can read them once Im compident if the translation is going to come to a hault.
Well I spent today reading Mahoraba and Im finally finished it. Im really glad I picked it up it was a nice read right through and I just loved the ending. The ending has left me feeling quite happy and has lifted some of the frustration I wrote about before.
Im still enjoying reading manga about forbidden love. At the momment is is a big part of what Im watching and archiving. Besides that Im watching rose maiden as it reminds me of dollfies and Ive picked up Omamori Himari again.
The more anime I watch the more manga I want to read, as I search for answers. Generally though Im pretty lazy and cant be bothered reading, so all the manga tends to collect on my Hd till the series is complete. Once its complete I get in and read it straight through in one day. I dont like reading manga as its published as its annoying waiting all the time for my next fix, so I keep that down to a minimum. Archiving and waiting for the series to finish is annoying in itself but alot better then reading as it goes.
That being said Im abit bored at the momment and trying to let up on anime for a while so I may have to delve into my archives and brake my own rule. Hopefully gamming can take my mind off it for while.
I got some suggestions of manga to read tonight, sadly some of the stuff is newer and is still being written today. The others are still in translation regardless of wether they are still being published in Japan. So it looks like I have more series to archive and possibly more raws to grab.
Seems like my fears with Aki Sora are being confirmed. Seems he is a total male s@#$ now. This is really dissapointing as i had hopes after I saw the first Ova, I mean seriously whats to wrong with monogamy?. Perhaps I should leave the story there with those good memories but I cant help but see where it ends.
Lastly Id like to say that I had a go at making a forum sig and avatar this mourning, there not the best but they will do for now.

Frustrations
I have been quite frustrated as of late and it seems as I search that the frustration isnt going to be lifted, at least not by anime or manga anyway. Ive been searching for a really good comedy anime (to lift my spirits) but alas rom-coms are what sell so thats mostly what is out there, all series seem to have a touch of romance sooner or later which is a real downer when it happens. Im growing tired of all the open ended, no conclusion rom-com endings.
Something that also annoys me is the male leads. They are either an indecisive, idoit or a sex driven, two timing jerk. The indercisiveness or unfaithfullness is really heart aching. I dont enjoy seeing people upset, particulair women.
Another annoiance is that the female characters I dont like continue to play a part in the manga or anime, sometimes even getting one up on the female characters that I actually like.
I didnt like the ending of Shuffle!! I didnt like his choice it was really sadning to see the characters I actually like being rejected. However I still respect the series quite alot because aleast it had a proper conclusion, because it had an actual end It was actually easier to overcome afterwards that normal series. Why cant more shows be like this?
Another suggestion would be to write a series like a visual novel, where a bunch of Ova could be released at the end showing him getting with each girl. That way the viewers could watch which ever one they wanted based on their coupling pereference and be satified.
Or perhaps you could produce a series which gives a few episodes for each female choice where their relationship is shown in a sorta "what if" "alternative reality" kind of senairo. There is a romance anime out there like this but for the life of me I cant remember what it is called.
Since reading To Love Ru Darkness my attentsions have turned to more mature series (anime and manga both). These series are often funny and Im finding them quite interesting. Its just refreshing to have a story specifically made for an adult audience. It is a bit disapointing so far though that these series still arent showing any signs of a proper conclusion.
Occasionally I watch or read series which fall into the truely adult catergory. These stories are often classified as hentai by the internet. I stray way from the stuff that is just straight up bonking and look for stuff that has some storyline to it. It is the story after all that i wish to see and not the bonking. It does annoy me when ever it is suggested that women are put on the earth to please men. I beleave if you want something you have to give something back.
Since reading Kiss x sis my attentsion has turned towards stories containing forbidden romance. Others may have their opionion on the matter but I still enjoy stories like these. Its not like a fetish or anything, I just find them really interesting stories to see.
I watched Aki Sora Ova 1 and 2 the other night and actually for the first time in ages felt quite satisfied with that conclusion. Later I found that their was a second ova via wikipedia but after reading the description was left disapointed. Ive read discussions on the manga and it doesnt seem to be any better, so for now I think Ill leave it at the one ova so it can remain in my memory as a ggod story.
Lately I have been watching newer series (mostly from 2010) and in frustration have turned to the manga of said series to find answers. Unfortuanetly all of these are ongoing or still undergoing translation so a conclusion wont be reached anytime soon. I think Ill save a copy of them now so they are archived and then go back to read them once the series is complete. Im leaving my reading to a couple of on going series so I can stay on top of things. Seems that my manga and anime lists continue to grow without any end.
Reading on the internet forum boards I find that Im am not the only one with frustrations like these. Perhaps this will lead to a change in the anime and manga industry where stories with actual conclusions are produced.
I finished High school of the dead a while back and was quite impressed with it, I am eagerly awaiting more. It did perck up my interest in guns, so Im thinking of joining the local rifle range and doing some target shooting on the weekends for something different for a change. I think in hear I will find the solution to my frustrations, rather then than the internet. More social things and clubs will probably cure me of my frustrations of the momment.
*edit: It seems that while Genshiken is not a pure romance story, its actually a slice of life comedy it does contain romance. From what Ive read about the manga at least is that relationships are formed, most of the characters are paired off. There is only one love triangle but i dont think its a heart ache inducing one.
Also Mahoraba manga seems to also have a very nice ending, Im planning on reading it now.

I finished High school of the dead a while back and was quite impressed with it, I am eagerly awaiting more. It did perck up my interest in guns, so Im thinking of joining the local rifle range and doing some target shooting on the weekends for something different for a change. I think in hear I will find the solution to my frustrations, rather then than the internet. More social things and clubs will probably cure me of my frustrations of the momment.
*edit: It seems that while Genshiken is not a pure romance story, its actually a slice of life comedy it does contain romance. From what Ive read about the manga at least is that relationships are formed, most of the characters are paired off. There is only one love triangle but i dont think its a heart ache inducing one.
Also Mahoraba manga seems to also have a very nice ending, Im planning on reading it now.
