This is another straight-away-post! This time I just finished re-read Hana no Mizo Shiru for the nth time already. I don't know how many I've reread this manga, I just love the story too much and the artwork is just too beautiful too.

Well, I just want to write about how much my chest hurts after I finished reading this -like, everytime, even though I know the story well already, even though I've read it too many time.

Personally, I will say that the main character's nature is a quite the same with mine -but this is a syndrom that will make us the reader feel like "ohmy, this article is so me!" (usually it's a horoscope article or something like that), so, well, please excuse me for that issue.

Misaki Shouta's character is quite similar with mine; the 'go-away-I-can-stand-by-myself' thing, and the contradiction of it as well; the 'I-need-you-so-much-so-please-don't-leave-me-alone-will-you' thing.
Uhm, please bear with this embarassing post. I don't even sure why I write this on the first place.

What makes me like this manga too much is the author's beautiful angsty story here. Is this manga can be categorized as angst? I don't know, but this makes my head and my chest hurts so much every time I read this so -well, I considered this thing as an angst, for me, though. Or is it hurt/comfort?

I remember when I read this manga for the first time, when I finished it, I leaned on the wall and sighed and did that fangirl pose when you just see something beautiful, like when you see two cats cuddle together and you went like 'Aaaaahhhh so cuteeee it hurts ohmyohmy I can die in peace right nowwww'

. . . . . d-do you u-understand it?

I mean, look, when Misaki regretted himself why he's born as a boy instead of girl, and look at his expression there -it's so damn sad and Takarai Rihito-sensei doing a great job on her drawings there!
And my most favourite part is the extra on final chapter, when Arikawa was leaving Misaki because his mom called him to help with the chores since his grandma collapsed. It's my favourite, but it also so damn sad and sweet and 'I can't take it anymore!' mixed together.

When Arikawa didn't show up because he needed to stay in his parent's home longer, Misaki slept in Arikawa's room because he missed him and he wondered why two weeks can be that long.
It's like Misaki missed Arikawa but he could do nothing since he know that Arikawa can't go home straight away for him. Misaki started to forget how lonely he was when he was left by his grand father. And when he smashed himself in the pile of Arikawa's futon in his room, it hits me. I don't know why, but it just hits me. Then the first thought that crossed my mind is how nice if we have someone to wait for, to be held when we are in hard times, to be talked to if we feel bad, and to be randomly hugged just because we feel like it.

Oh, well, this kind of relationship is not a 'high-school romance life' step anymore, I think. Blame all that fanfiction and all that yaoi manga I've read all this time!

But weirdly, I never feel such a tight feeling like this when I read normal romance fiction. You know, even if it's not a full-romance story, books like Divergent and The Hunger Games - their stories are good, really, they need to survive together and that's sweet, ikr, but, nah, they are good, and that's all! Just good, nothing more. But when I read a yaoi fanfiction, or a yaoi manga like this amazing work of Rihito-sensei, sometime I got this feeling. Screw my mind.

And, back to the main topic of this lame post, I think it's not "oh, their character is quite the same with mine!" but "I envy them because they have someone to take care of them."
It's pretty different, then.

Sorry I can't think straight -it's twelve thirty in the morning right now.

Still, the sentence is correct. It doesn't have to be a lover, actually, a friend, a very close friend is enough. Since I don't really have a friend like that, so, well, maybe it's only my nature to want something like that....
Nah it's sounds like a pervert ohmygod.

Last word!!! Hana no mizo shiru is a great work -no doubt, and... and I like it too much...
(I erased my original sentence.)

Please just ignore what you've read just now, thank you.

Good night!

Hello, this is July update. I thought I didn't post anything in June, so this post counted as June update too.

I'm in my very first one month school holiday. Thanks for the fasting month that crashed with our school holiday session, so school holiday plus Eid Mubarak holiday means one month holiday. Yay. I still have, umm, two weeks left? Or three? I don't remember.

I practically do nothing at home. It's fasting month, so I can't eat the snack easily at noon, and the holiday dance cover project can't be done for sure.

There's a brand new writing school in my town this month. I join it, of course, and the goal is to make my own book. The course started on the beginning of this fasting month, so it's finished already. Now it's the time to do the project - the novel project, and I still need one more sign to begin the project officially. Well, good luck for me!

And, update from my local bookstore! They released No.6 - I can't believe it! As long as I begin to buy my books from that bookstore, they rarely release shonen-ai-hinted manga. Let's wait until manga like Seven Days or other very very light shonen ai manga released here. I still hope that they will release Takarai Rihito sensei's work, but, psssh, I don't think so. Hana no Mizo Shiru has a smut scene in there, even though it's not too smutty. And, yeah, they will never released Ten Count here.

Talking about Ten Count, Baozi and Hana's recent work is Ten Count! Hana looks adorable and amazingly beautiful as usual.

Anyway, current mood is sleepy. I wake up at nine everyday, really. I feel sorry for my aunt who always yell at me in the morning.

I'm downloading Junjou Romantica's season 3 right now, and I wonder if watching it while fasting month is safe. I'm not updating Ten Count's newest chapter these days - and the manga-cap is everywhere in the tumblr. I need to stay away from my tumblr.

And, strangely, I don't check on BTS's update regularly in this holiday season. During their Dope promotion, I hardly saw their comeback stage, and their newest twitter picture update, and their mini fanmeeting yesterday... I still know it, tho, hahaha. I just didn't check my twitter these days. I wonder why.

Maybe I'm distracted by my fluffy bed....

Ah, about the title.

I randomly watched Owari no Seraph yesterday, and I found that the anime is not really interesting. Hahahahahahaha but I watched it because of the character! Mika and Yuu, the main character, they are so sweet and cute together. I watched the whole 12 episode in one day and decided to read the manga before it's too late (like ansatsu and tokyo ghoul. They said the manga is far better than the anime).

So, I ship them two! That's why the title today is Owari no Mikayuu. //slapped

Uhm - I think there's nothing left to say...
Well, good bye.









update.

I just read owasera chapter 35 (the newest chapter) and Mika ran away with Yuu. Oh my god I can't explain how's my feeling... I CAN'T UGH I can't understand why Yuu is SO precious to Mika, I mean, so very fucking precious so he can brush away the pain when someone actually stabs sword to Mika's body when he's with Yuu. It happens three times so far. And Mika didn't drink human's blood (he's a vampire) just simply because Yuu will not like it.
Well, I really read this for the plot. I swear.
The plot where Mika tries to save Yuu's life no matter how.

:)

look at Mika's face. He's way too happy when he sees Yuu.

Anyway, I read the Indonesian-scanlation because I found a site where I can download Owasera chapters easily. I can't find the english one, so, yeah.

Hello.

I want to bring a new topic here, since I only post about negative things lately. So today I want to give a review about my Takarai Rihito's favourite works, Hana no Mizo Shiru, Check it on mangahere or mangago if you like, I just love it so much.

Ah, did I mention it before? Hana no Mizo Shiru is a BL manga :)

cover on Craft

the cover

Well, I'm re-reading it right now (with a warm bowl of instant chicken soup by La Fonte), and I kinda want to give a review about it.
Firstly, you can check by yourself about the character, the storyline, and etc. Just google it. I just want to give my opinion about this and that, and when Misaki this and Youichi that...

Anyway, the seme is the brown haired one, Youichi and the uke is the white haired, Misaki.

When we read chapter 1, we will be greeted by Misaki's necklace.

who sell this anyway? I want this necklace too

Hana no Mizo Shiru, only the flowers know, and Misaki is so cute with the flowers! So Misaki is working on a laboratory, and he's majoring on Agricultural. Then Youichi is accidentaly know him because his friend told him about Misaki aaaaand the continue to know each other since Youichi is helping the lab with Misaki (because the Prof. there is happened to know Youichi, and since the lab needs a help with something (idk I forgot) so Youichi offers himself)

I just can't express how I love Misaki here because HE'S JUST TOO CUTE TO RESIST. Ugh, and WHO DOESN'T LOVE A WHITE HAIRED UKE, HUH???

you should'nt be carrying this much by yourself. WELL YOUICHI HE'S A MAN TOO JUST LIKE YOU

Rihito sensei's artwork is great, a bit weird on the nose part but it's fine. I like how she draws the eye and the hair. And the hand of course, since I can't draw hands that well. I wish I can buy her art book, or her works but, yeah. my parents wont't allow it.

I bought Nakamura Asumiko sensei's Utsubora, and it happened to be rated M manga. I asked my aunt (who is living in Singapore) to buy it for me (since we don't have Kinokuniya here) and the package come with a plastic wrap (which is wrapped three times) and a R18 sticker on it. I was questioned by my parents after the book was coming. What is this book about... where do you know the mangaka... and such. Meh, I couldn't say I knew Asumiko sensei from a yaoi manga she draw!
Utsubora is a rated 18 straight manga. How about I buy a rated 15 yaoi manga? It will be a chaos.

Actually there's a lot of yaoi manga which is having a great moral value as much as straight manga does! But since it's a boy x boy relationship.... /sigh

anyway this is quite cliche - a bump in the train station and their things get swapped

Youichi have a bad sight, he uses lenses because his glasses isn't strong enough. His eyesight is bad enough to not recognize Misaki when they bump into each other, haha! Youichi is a nice and clumsy seme here~

ANYWAY, do I need to review the entire book here? You can read it yourself by the way!

So this is the end of the review! Ha ha ha, sorry for this useless review tho. I just in the mood to write something and re read something. But seriously guys, you need to check this manga because it just great! And check Rihito sensei's other works too! The one which is ongoing is 10 count, and it is nice too! Just check them all, hahah~
