By reading the title of this post, you should be able to know what anime I’m about to talk about if you have ever heard about it. Yes, I didn’t read it first, but don’t worry, it is on my list to do so. If you have never heard of Ouran High School Host Club, you should because is is hilarious and somewhat heartwarming. And for those who don’t know what a host club is, the best way I can describe it is as a maid café for girls. If that is not correct, that is the best way that I can describe it based on what I say, but definitely, check this out. This anime does the best at making fun of some shoujo themes in a way that is not harsh, especially since all of the boys in this show personalities that run rampant in the same type of anime and manga. Having a protagonist that cares more for who people are explicitly on the inside is also refreshing.

Reimagined Fairy Tales
Recently, some friends of mine introduced me to a show called Rwby, pronounced Ruby, an Anime inspired show, and it is amazing. The best part: you can watch this series on YouTube by the creators. I’m all caught up and I am still caught up in the feels on that final episode of the third volume. All of the characters are characters from our childhood but taking an amazing twist on it. And with the fourth volume coming out in October (not soon enough) I will be watching the chibi non-cannon version of this show. Yes, there is a Chibi verson, and it is amazing. Episodes of the Chibi version will come out every week until the new volume comes out (as far as I know), so that is how I am going to get my fix. Get yours, and watch this amazing series.
If you would like to get on this amazing series, click here to get on the action. Make sure you watch the trailers. They let you on to some clues to things that happen later on. Now, no more until info, for now, until volume 4 comes out. Then, I’m going to be all over that bad boy.
Makes Me Almost Want to Cook
Very recently, I finished the manga Kitchen Princess by Natsumi Ando. I read all ten volumes in a time frame of way less than twenty-four hours. I was just captured into it. One of my friends, who doesn’t really like shojo, even recommended this for me, and this manga is just shojo-y. That probably isn’t a real thing, but let’s just go with it. I would recommend this to practically everyone, if they love shojo as much as I did. And yes, there is a much of talk about recipes, because the protagonist is an amazing cook. But the cool thing is that there are recipes for everything made at the end of each volume. I definitely want to try some of those. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it. I would watch it, if only it was made into one.
Have any manga to recommend to me? Please tell me. I’m always looking for more. It even doesn’t have to be shojo. 😉
Notebooks are Deadly
Recently, I have finished the amazing manga called Death Note by Tsugumi Ohba. I will admit that is has been the first non-shoujo manga that I have ever read, but I was not disappointed. The plot was intense from the very first chapter. The characters were amazing, and the plot twists were twisty. Half of what happened I could have never have imagined happening, but it did. And the ending. What is there to say about the ending except that it was game changing. If you are looking for a manga to read or to re-read, I would highly recommend this one. This was one where I could not stop thinking about during the long process of reading this. It did get dark at times, but it wasn’t too dark or gory that it was distracting. I would rate the entire series five stars out of five stars.
Although the next manga I read will probably be a shoujo (I love my shoujos), I am always looking for new mangas to read, or even an anime to watch. If you want me to review it, just leave it in the comments below.
