Rockin Heaven Manga Review!

Published July 29, 2015 by Shay Taree

I haven’t done a manga review in a while so I decided it was about time I did another and plus I was in the mood for reading a good shoujo manga.
The manga I chose was called Rockin Heaven and here is the synopsis:

“Sawa applies to Heaven’s Wing Academy, thinking she would look cute in the uniform. But she never expected the academy to be a previously all-boys’ school! And the head honcho of the school, the class president himself doesn’t seem to like her one bit and takes no pains to hide it. At first, adjusting to life at the academy is tough. Sawa is bullied and teased, and the boys in the class even throw her new shoes in the water. While attempting to retrieve her shoes, she falls into the water and is unexpectedly saved by Ran, who up until this point has made her life hell. The newfound gentleness in Ran intrigues her, and she finds herself falling for him. What will her days be like for the rest of her school life?”

So I’m not going to lie it was your typical girl meets boy, boy meets girl, and drama happens which involves a lot of misunderstandings and love triangles. But still I could but have certain moments where I screamed in anguish off what happened or squealed with happiness when two characters kissed.

One of the things I really liked about this manga is that none of the characters were side characters. They each had their own thing going on which was interesting to see. Also they gave a breath of fresh air knowing that whole manga wasn’t going to be about the main characters love story but also other characters relationships as well. There was even some friendship drama thrown in which was also nice.

I also really liked how the manga didn’t end with just their graduation but it also gave an epilogue into their adult lives. That was really nice to see and was a great ending.

So if your looking for a shoujo manga that is kind of your typical shoujo manga but with a great cost of characters and other stories written in between then definitely check out Rockin Heaven!

So overall I gave this manga a 8/10. Comment down below on what you thought of this manga if you read it or what you thought of this review! Join in the conversation!

New Fruits Basket Manga!!! 😄

Published July 22, 2015 by Shay Taree

Yes I know I squealed for joy too when I read this news as well. Now this new manga series is actually going to be a sequel to the original manga that ran from 1998-2006 but still I’m very excited for this.

The new manga is going to be titled Fruits Basket: Another and will take place in the same setting as the original but it will have a new female lead by the name of Sawa.

From the information that I’ve been able to gather Tohru, Kyo, and Yuki will not be in this series but they will be mentioned. As far as the other beloved characters in this series we will just have to see if they show up or are mentioned.

The manga is planned to start in September of 2015 and will only be about 2-3 volumes long. I can’t wait to read a translated version of this. I can’t help but have high expectations for this. But what do you think will happen in this new Fruits Basket manga and how do you feel about it? Comment down below I would love to know!

Bleach Chapter 625 Review!

Published May 14, 2015 by Shay Taree

So this time it’s not a discussion topic this time it is a review. I finally got a chance to read chapter 625 of Bleach and while there wasn’t a lot of action in this chapter there was still a lot that happened.

In the last chapter we were re-introduced to Grimmjow and I was so happy to have seen him return. Well in this chapter we were able to see that Grimmjow wasn’t the only character that has returned. Nel has returned

along with Riruka!

Yay!!! So there is a lot of explanation that needs to happen so overall I give this chapter a 7/10 due to many characters returning. But if you haven’t checked out the recent chapter check out soon. If you have then comment down below what you thought of it!

Reading The Manga Before Watching The Anime?

Published April 30, 2015 by Shay Taree

So I know that the title of today’s post doesn’t make the best sense but please hold on because I will explain it. What I mean by the title is does reading the manga before watching the anime make you not as invested in the anime?

Now for me it kind of does just because then if I’ve read the manga and then go watch the anime I don’t pay as much attention because I know what is going to happen. Therefore I tend to zone out more and not watch it as intently as I would if I hadn’t read the manga.

A few examples I can give for me is Kuroko’s Basketball

and Bleach.

Both shows I really like but once I started reading the manga for both and then watching the series I didn’t pay attention to it as much. Right now the 3rd season of Kuroko’s Basketball is airing and while I do love the show I haven’t been watching it every week like I thought I would and when I do watch it I don’t watch it like I did the first 2 seasons because I already know what’s going to happen.

That’s why now I don’t really read the manga of an anime until either I finish the anime or if the manga is still continuing even though the anime has finished airing.

Do this happen to anyone else? Do you prefer to watch the anime first and then read the manga or vice versa? Comment down below I would love to know.

Bleach Chapter 624 Shocker!!! 😱

Published April 26, 2015 by Shay Taree

Yes I do know what day it is and that I don’t really post on Sunday’s but I just had to post today!

I was finally able to catch up on my manga reading and the latest Bleach chapter had me screaming! Sorry for the spoiler but Grimmjow is back!

I knew that he couldn’t possibly be dead and I had heard rumors about this a few years back and I can’t believe that it’s true. Grimmjow is one of my favorite villains/characters so I’m excited to see what will happen next.

But what did you all think of this chapter and what do you suspect will happen now that Grimmjow is back. Comment down below and I will answer you back! Also how would you feel if I started an Instagram page for this blog? Comment about that as well!

Beast Master Manga Review! 😄

Published April 17, 2015 by Shay Taree

The manga I decided to read was one that I had been meaning to read for awhile. The manga is called Beast Master and I was really surprised by not only how good it is by how short it is too. The manga is only 7 chapters long and they were able to explain a lot in those few chapters. But here is the synopsis:

“Yuiko Kubozuka is a high school girl who loves animals. Unfortunately, animals hate her and flee from her whenever possible. So when a new classmate, Leo Aoi, turns out to be a scary guy who resembles a wild animal than anything human, she is intrigued. Not only because Reo has an affinity with animals which she envies, but also because he isn’t the wild animal that he seems to be. He seems to hide a very sweet disposition behind his scary features.

Or so she thought. The truth is revealed when they are attacked and Leo immediately behaves like a wild animal and gets violent like a blood-thirsty animal, just to save Yuiko.

Will Yuiko be able to tame this wildest of all animals or will he be just like the others and flee from her? Or the better question, will she flee from him?”

Alright so the first thing that I liked about Beast Master was just how opposite the 2 main characters are. Yuiko is quite a soft girl and quite innocent but she can be tough when she needs to be and Leo comes off as being scary when in reality he is just like a little kid that wants to be liked. I think that is what made me like this manga the most was that you were able to put yourself in Leo’s shoes when you haven’t been liked by someone but they don’t really know you.

Now of course this is a shoujo manga so I loved all the sweet moments between Leo and Yuiko. They were just so sweet and it was cool to see Leo protecting Yuiko and also see Yuiko being able to pull Leo back from being violent.

Now like I mentioned before this is a short manga and I feel like while it explain some things I feel that more things could be explain or could have been expanded on. For example the whole thing with Leo’s mother and father. I would love to know more about his parents relationship and why it ended up the way it did.

But overall I give Beast Master an 8/10. It was a really cute manga to read and was short read for those who don’t like long manga’s. But I would have to like to see more explaination on Leo’s backstory or even on Yuiko’s.

So check out this manga if you haven’t already. Comment down below what you thought of this review or this manga and like always I will answer back.

Anime Or Manga?

Published March 25, 2015 by Shay Taree

I know that many people may have a preference when it comes to this but then there are also others that may not. What I’m talking about is which do you like better anime or manga?

For me I actually like anime’s more than manga’s. I think it’s because I watch more anime than I read manga. Now manga is definitely not a bad thing since that is where a lot of the anime we know and love come from.

I think what also makes me like it more is the fact that when it comes to action sequences I’m able to see it all happen fluidly instead of how it’s done in the manga.

But which do you like better anime or manga or do you like both equally? Leave a comment down below and like always I will answer back.

AAA Manga Review

Published March 11, 2015 by Shay Taree

Alright so I just finished reading the manga AAA by Fukushima Haruka. It was actually a really good manga and from the moment I started reading it I couldn’t stop. But here is the synopsis:

Ogata Aoi is in her 2nd year of middle school and is the president of the student council. The middle school she attends is one of the best in the country and is called “AAA”. Aoi goes there to meet her first love, but after a surprising meeting, she’s finding out that her first love is a gang leader in the neighbor school, called “CCC” (lowest level). Maybe it’s only a coincidence that that gang leader and her first love have the same name since they look completely different from each other, but now, Aoi wants to find more about this person….

This is definitely a shoujo manga (my favorite genre actually) but it actually reminded me a lot about Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. I’m not going to say to much regarding that because it may give some things away. Also AAA definitely had a twist in it that I didn’t see coming.

It had a lot of sweet moments that definitely made me swoon

as well as a few moments that had my heart beating fast because of what was going on.

It’s a quick read since it’s only 15 chapters long but it was definitely a good switch from the manga that I’ve been reading.

So if your looking for a short by good shoujo manga definitely check out AAA because it will have you enraptured from beginning to end. So I give AAA a 9/10 even though the plot could be kind of predictable at times but still it was just to sweet to not enjoy. Also I would love to see this made into an anime one day!

So let me know what you thought of this review and also let me know what manga’s you are reading. So comment down below and like always I will answer back!

Naruto Manga Review!

Published December 2, 2014 by Shay Taree

Alright so now that the Naruto manga is now over I decided to do a review on it. So here goes! Also if you haven’t read the manga then warning there are SPOILERS!!! (Sorry)

I through enjoyed this manga but I can’t help but wish that each chapter was a lot longer! Each chapter was arounds 21-24 pages long which was not nearly long enough because it definitely kept me hanging. But in a way the shorter chapters were a good thing since it kept me excited to read the next chapter when it was released.

I also can’t help but say that the fact that the author killed off some pretty notable characters such as Jiraya, Neji, and Asuna was unbelievable and actually made the story even better. It also made me feel something for all the characters that were involved.

Speaking of which the one thing that really touched me was the back story behind what happened to Naruto in the first place. I couldn’t help but really feel for Naruto and get sad especially since Naruto didn’t ask for any of it and he was really picked on and shunned because of it. It made me wonder what I would do if I was in that situation which is a funny thought of you think about it. But overall that was one of things that I enjoyed.

The artwork of the manga was amazing and very easy to follow even when there was a fight scene going on. So thanks so much for that.

One thing I know that a few fans myself included are thankful for is the fact that several pairings that people wanted to see happen did end up happening. It felt good to know that us as the reader was right when it came to guessing or pairing up who was going to end up with who.

The only things I didn’t like about the manga was the ending. I feel like even after all those chapters that it was still rushed. We didn’t get to see what happened after Naruto and Sasuke’s fight, we didn’t get to see Kakashi as Hokage, we didn’t get to see how Naruto became Hokage and the drama that may have caused, and above all else we didn’t get to see our many favorite pairings in the manga finally get together. But hopefully that will all be answered in the last Naruto movie!

But overall the Naruto manga was very enjoyable to read and definitely a manga I’m sad to see end. But it had to end at some point. So for those of you who haven’t read it you should and for those of you who have what did you think of it? Leave your comments below with your opinions and let me know!

Happy watching/reading!
