About:
Shiki's mission is to wanter to the ends of the Earth to hunt down a terrifying monster of legends! His companion is Ailee, a skilled huntress who would rather have nothing to do with the airheaded Shiki. Now the excitement of the Monster Hunter games meets the creative of Fairy Tail's Hiro Mashima in a fun, thrill-filled fantasy adventure!
My Review:
I had high expectations with this manga because it's by Hiro Mashima. Fairy Tail is one of my all time favorite animes and mangas. I can't say this is as good as Fairy Tail because it's the first volume but I didn't think it was horrible compared to it. I liked it, though it seemed a lot like Fairy Tail. I mean we have an airheaded character, guilds, and special abilities. There are somethings that are completely different though so don't think that it is a rip off from Fairy Tail.
This volume is about Shiki who is a monster hunter. He is searching for a legendary monster that his master was obsessed with. He's also a special kind of monster hunter that has more access than a regular monster hunter. He ends up going to a guild to find comrades to go on adventures with. There he meets Ailee is tough and coolheaded. She hates the idea of becoming comrades with someone and wants to do jobs alone. Of course, she ends up partnering up with him anyway do to some information coming to light about Shiki's master.
Shiki is very airheaded. I actually think he's more stupid than Natsu from Fairy Tail. He just dives head first into everything and doesn't take no for an answer considering Ailee ended up as his comrade when she didn't want to be near him in the first place. I find his character amusing though I like Natsu better. Ailee is interesting. I like how she was tough and standoffish. She also seemed stuck up at times which was interesting. I wonder a lot on how she got that way. I also love her fighting style. I'm really excited to see more of her in the future. Curlon Belusas otherwise know as "The Prince" is an interesting character. I mean he's a typical bully thinking he's all that. I kind of thought he was a creep. I'm interested to see what he will do to get more power but otherwise he's in the back of my mind. Sakuya is really cute. I love her character a lot. She seems so nice and sweet which I think balances the team dynamic. I mean we have the airhead, the ice queen, and the cute blacksmith. I also love how their team is really small. I also love how strong she is. I mean she did her best to slay the monster that killed her mom and she was able to do it. I also love her weapons. They are really cool. I hope to see more sides of Sakuya.
The plot is not bad. I mean it's not the most unique, but it isn't horrible. I hope it gets better. I would hate for it to just be a dud because it isn't done right or doesn't become unique enough. The art is really good. I love Hiro Mashima's art style. I love how rugged it looks. I also think the monsters are very cool looking. They aren't scary but don't look too cute. I love their designs. I really can't wait to see different kinds of monster. They better look different.
Overall, this volume was bad. It could be better and I hope to see it improve during the next volumes. I liked the characters a lot. Truthfully, the only reason I picked up this manga is because it was by Hiro Mashima. I will admit some of you may not like it because of how good Fairy Tail is but I think you would like it and should give it a shot since it's a short series. I recommend this manga to those you love, fantasy, adventure, and a little bit of comedy.

About:
The Kobayashi twins, Megumu and Mitsuru, were named after historical figures, but only Megumu has grown up with a taste for history. So when Mitsuru is in danger of losing his weekends to extra history classes, he convinces his sister to swap clothes with him and ace his tests! After all, how hard can it be for them to play each other?
But Megumu can't rely on just her book smarts in Mitsuru's all-boys, delinquents paradise of a high school. And Mitsuru finds life as a high school girl to be much more complicated than he expected!
My Review:
This manga was absolutely adorable! I couldn't get enough of it. I always thought the description was a little weird so I avoided picking up this manga, but I ended up reading a preview of it and then couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I was so upset when I finished this volume. I really didn't want this volume to end. If you hate cute content then you should steer clear and warning to those who love cuteness. This manga could give you a nosebleed XD.
This volume is about twins Megumu and Mitsuru who are complete opposites. One day Mitsuru asks Megumu to switch places with him because he need help passing history. Even though she says no, Mitsuru steals her clothes and wears a wig to her school forcing her to go to his. A consequence of this switch is that both of them meet someone who makes their heart flutter. Too bad they could never reveal their feelings.
Megumu was absolutely adorable. I mean she is just full of sweetness and freaks out about every little thing. She loves history and is such a geek. She also cares a lot for her brother. What I liked was that she was different from the cliched innocent character. I mean yeah she had many panic attacks but there were moments where she was strong emotionally too. Mitsuru is cocky, a little bit of a player, and cheeky, very cheeky. He's a tiny bit full of himself and forced Megumu to switch places with him, but he isn't uncaring. He really cares for his sister as well and does his best to make sure that the problems he causes at her school don't affect her at all. He's also can't stand bullying and will help others out when he can. He can be selfish at times but overall he's a really great guy and character. I have to say he's my favorite so far. Aoi Sanada is a very interesting character. Everyone's scared of him yet he's really nice and sweet. He's also Megumu's love interest. I'm mostly curious on why he wear's an eye patch. I keep constantly wondering what happened to make him wear one. I think it's a little too early to ship them but I'm interested to she where their relationship will go. Shino is also really cute and interesting. She can't hear or speak so I'm also curious if it's genetic or not. Mitsuru has a little bit of a crush on her. He even learned sign language so he can talk to her. Same thing, I am curious to see where their relationship will go.
The plot is a little cliche in the fact of siblings switching places but Go Ikeyamada really spiced it up with adding in someone who's deaf and another who where's an eye patch. The plot is really engaging. It hooked me from the very first chapter. There is no getting bored here. The art is also really cute and pretty. I absolutely love the shading. It was done very well. I also love how the characters are drawn. Their eyes are absolutely gorgeous. The cover is okay but I love the colors.
Overall, I loved this volume so much. It was very refreshing and really kept me on my toes and gave me a few laughs. I loved the characters and plot. I'm a little worried that they gained crushes so quickly but otherwise I have no problems with this manga so far. I'm really excited to read the next volume and see what happens next to both Megumu and Mitsuru.

About:
From the time she was sold into servitude as a young girl and told by a handsome demonic figure that she had a destiny to fulfill, Sheila's childhood was anything but easy. After joining an assassin's guild and undergoing rigorous training in the killing arts, Sheila is later taken in by the dashing Prince Edvard to serve as his housemaid and bodyguard.
As skillful as she is with a blade, Sheila hasn't a clue when it comes to courtly romance. While she uses her talents to help Edvard win the throne, can she stave off male suitors who vie for her heart?
My Review:
This volume was okay. I mean it was a little confusing at times and there were no male suitors vying for Sheila's attention. I mean there were possible guys but none of them flirted with her really. I don't see how there was romance. There were some interesting aspects though so this volume wasn't a total dud. The creators of this manga also wrote Alice in the Country of Clover! so if you have read that series, you might like this manga more than I did because you're used to their style. I haven't read anything else by these creators so I wouldn't know how they do things.
In this volume, Sheila gets sold to Prince Edvard to serve as his housemaid and bodyguard after going through harsh training in the assassin's guild. She is constantly protecting Prince Edvard from many attempts on his life, some may even be from his own brother.
Sheila was an interesting character. She is so put together and doesn't take anyone's crap. She also has a mysterious past involving a certain dark creature. I am so curious about her backstory. We get a little bit of seeing her joining an assassin's guild by force but we don't learn much about her even though she is the main character which I found to have liked a lot. Prince Edvard was also a huge mystery. I mean he isn't evil but he isn't good either. He's sly, a liar, and sneaky. I'm really curious about his ultimate goal. Curtis Nile was interesting. I don't know if he will play a bigger role later on but It seemed he also had something planned with Sheila. Justin is very interesting. I really want to know more about his character. He's Edvard's older brother but he has less claim to the throne because his mother was of a lower station. All the characters are mysterious and interesting, each with their own agendas. They are what kept me reading this volume.
The plot is okay so far. I don't know what's going to happen next which is great. I hope it does get less confusing. There are only two volumes after this so it makes me wonder what's going to happen next. The art is really good. I especially love the cover. It's great. I really love the hairstyles in this manga and their eyes. They are absolutely gorgeous. I also though the shading was kind of great. I could read this manga just for its art.
Overall, it was okay. I mean the characters and art were amazing but the plot was just a little confusing at times so I had no clue what was going on. I had to re-read a few pages sometimes. Like I mentioned earlier, if you have read the creators other works then you might find this less confusing. If you are looking for non-boring characters then you should check out this manga. I'm not sure if I'm going to read the next one but you never know.

I found this anime in this random video store I was browsing on vacation. It was the collector edition containing both seasons 1 and 2 along with bonus disks. It was on sale for cheap so I was like, why not? I really loved season one but I hated opening credits because it gave stuff away so there was no surprise at times. I didn't like season two as much as I did season one. I really wasn't a fan of the ending of the whole anime. Actually, I hated it, but I loved the show overall and think it's a great find. So, if it sounds interesting to you then check it out.

About:
Mitsuki and Kakeru are childhood friends--and rivals! When Mitsuki is attacked by a demon, she and Kakeru discover that they have magical powers. An ancient scroll decrees that they must work together to save the world from a demon invasion. And so begins a demon-filled adventure...
My Review:
I got this volume for 1 dollar and I have to say I'm so glad I picked it up. This manga is a really great read. It's like a cross between Phantom Thief Jeanne and St. Dragon Girl. So if you're a huge fan of those two mangas, then you will love Panic x Panic. This was a really fun read. I'm so glad I already own the next and last volume. I'm a little worried though that there is only two volumes. They are thicker than normal but I just hope the series doesn't fall flat.
This volume is about Mitsuki who is a shrine maiden about to go through her coming of age ceremony to accept her duties as a shrine maiden and heir and Kakeru, who is about to go through his purification ceremony as heir to the church across from Mitsuki's shrine. They're rivals since birth and can't stand each other. On their way home one night they're attacked by a demon and find out the seal over the portal that connects the spirit world to our world has broken and both Mitsuki and Kakeru must seal away the demons together as a pair, much to their dismay.
Mitsuki is really cute. I like her character a lot. She's a little bit of a brat but that's to be expected because of her age which I think adds to her character. She's also late a lot but she isn't a crybaby and she isn't weak which I loved. I mean I like crybaby characters once in a while but they can get annoying at times. Kakeru is such a brat! I mean seriously. He has a crappy personality. I mean he isn't evil or anything but this isn't the typical teasing slightly jerky barbs. But he is no where near as bad as Sata from Wolf Girl and Black Prince. I loved his character though. I mean he pushes Mitsuki to be better even though it's unintentional. I also love how he acts all cool and uncaring. It's adorable. I really like these two together. I'm not saying I'm shipping them even though it's supposed to be a romance but I can definitely see it. The cliche love hate relationship. I guess I just haven't gotten emotionally involved enough to ship them. I'll probably ship them in the next volume. Maju is a rich popular girl who is madly in love with Kakeru. She is a fortuneteller and constantly tells Kakeru their love fortune. She hates Mitsuki because she sees her as her rival. She is a weird character but I like her a lot. She just adds to the manga even though she isn't a main character. Ogami was an interesting addition at the end. He's really cute and I like him a lot. He appears at the end of the volume. He reminds me a lot of Kyou from Fruits Basket. Though he's a dog instead of a cat. I hope to see a lot more of his character in the next volume.
The plot is great. I absolutely love manga like this. I really like the idea of fighting demons and learning about Japanese folklore along the way. I also really love that there are christian aspects to it which is great. I think that's what really makes this manga unique. I love the art. I really love 90's style art. I think it's really great. Most people love the newer art which I agree is good, but to me, there is just something about the older styles of art. I can't get over it.
Overall, I really enjoyed Panic x Panic. I am really looking forward to reading the next volume. I hope it is better than this one. I loved the characters and really am looking forward to see more of them. I really hope two volumes are enough for this series. I will be sorely disappointed of the next volume sucked. I highly recommend this series. You can probably find it cheap somewhere like Amazon or something since it's slightly old. Give it a chance, especially if you like the manga/anime I mentioned in the first paragraph.

About:
Kazahaya Kudo's name evokes the wind, which is given to warn him that one day he, too, might disappear. Once he almost thought his time had come--until he was rescued by the dark, equally mysterious Rikuo Himura. Now they both reside at Rikuo's workplace, the Green Drugstore--a shop that dispenses not only medicine but the secret powers of both Rikuo and Kazahaya--from which the pair embark on missions into the paranormal at the bidding of its strange proprietor, Kakei.
My Review:
I liked this manga a whole lot more than I thought I would. I mean I was unsure when I got it but it piqued my interest and Barnes & Noble was having a sale on manga which sold me on buying it. I wish I had the next series Drug & Drop already. I want to know what happens next! I mean there wasn't too much of a cliffhanger but there are so many things I want to know!
This manga is about Kazahaya is rescued by Rikuo one night and ends up living with him along with working together at the Green Drugstore. They don't just stock shelves though, they also work as a team going on special paranormal jobs for their boss Kakei. Along the way we see pieces of their pasts and how they might end up tied together.
Kazahaya is so cute! I mean he's like a spitball of fire. He's constantly getting embarrassed and taking it out of Rikuo. He's so feisty. I mean Rikuo is the mysterious tall dark and handsome one but Kazahaya is mysterious as well. His past is such a mystery. Rikuo is definitely an interesting character. I don't know much about him other than he loves to tease Kazahaya and that someone he cares about is missing. I really want to know more about him. I do have to say though that I so ship him with Kazahaya. I know, I'm horrible. But I can't help myself! I find them so cute together. I also feel like they mesh well with each other. Kakei is someone I really want to know more about. I mean how does he know about the paranormal? What prompted him to open Green Drug? All I know so far is that he's Rikuo and Kazahaya's boss and has something going on with Saiga. Saiga is a cool character. I love it when he appears. He seems like a pretty useless character and yet he's pretty useful. I can't wait to see more of him when I pick up the sequel manga. All the characters were great but they are all so mysterious. I want to know more.
The plot is great. I mean I love mysterious a lot and it's great to add in some paranormal. The plot isn't quite clear yet. I mean there a re a bunch of mini plots but nothing clear about the main plot yet. I like the art a lot. It reminds me the style from the manga Yellow a little bit. I absolutely love how Kazahaya looks when he blushes. I also really loved how he looked when he dressed like a girl. He was so cute.
Overall, I really loved reading this manga. It was funny and full of mystery. I was really sad when I finished it. I didn't want to stop reading. I also liked how there wasn't really a cliffhanger but it was done in such a way to make you badly want to read the next series anyway. I highly recommend this manga to those who love mystery, paranormal, hints of yaoi, and action. I have to say it gets a little graphic at times so if you're not a big fan of blood even though it is just a picture, don't pick it up.

I love movies like this. It's a weird quirk of mine considering I mostly love romance movies, maybe a few action. I thought this was a really great movie. It was slow at times, but it was funny. You really have to pay attention though because this isn't a comedy. It's filled with sarcastic remarks and some jokes full of wit. It was also really cool learning about these men as well. This is a high recommend for a movie night.

About:
The story centers around Erika Shinohara, a vain 16-year-old girl who tells her friends about her romantic exploits, but she actually has no boyfriend. She claims that a handsome boy in a candid photo is her boyfriend, but it turns out that boy is a schoolmate named Kyouya Sata. She has no choice but to make him her fake boyfriend. Unfortunately, Sata may look like a sweet person, but he is actually an ultra-black-hearted sadist. Sata takes advantage of Erika's weakness and treats her like his dog.
My Review:
I didn't know what to expect when I started watching this anime. I mean you always have the jerk guys but this seemed different. I was right, this anime was a lot different from the normal jerk guy and teasing. There was some hate in some reviews and love in others. There was no in between. I kind of agree with them to some extent. I have to say I liked this anime for many reasons. It mostly has to do with the characters.
This anime is about Erika, who is a normal high school girl. She is like a serial liar. She tells fibs here a there. One huge lie of hers was her boyfriend. She felt like she needed one to fit in with the girls in her class. Unfortunately, Sata became her fake boyfriend. He is mean and sometimes cruel. He treats Erika like a dog and constantly says that he is her master. Of course, soon Erika starts to have feelings for Sata and starts to pursue him.
Erika was a more typical high school girl than most other characters in anime. I mean Erika is really sweet and nice but she's human. I love that she lied. I mean who hasn't? She was a lot more interesting than the usual pure innocent characters. Sata was a monster. He constantly treated Erika like a dog and got her hopes up then crushed them. I agree he was horrible and I thought Erika could do so much better and that this anime was a horrible example for romance. But, as the series progressed Sata grew better. He understood that what he did was wrong and tried to be a better person. I loved his character for it and started to root for him and Erika. I mean by the end he wasn't perfect, he still has a long way to go but he stopped being especially cruel. His back story made me understand a little bit why he was that way. So now can you see why I kind of agreed with the bad reviews as well with the good one? I mean in the beginning I was absolutely against Sata and Erika but seeing the change in Sata and how hard he was trying changed my mind. I'm not saying he was excused for some of the things he said, but he is the path to being a better person. Takeru was an interesting character. He's Sata's best friend. I wish I could have seen more of him though. He was funny and so sweet. I love how hard he tried to help Erika. He was a really great side character. Kusakabe was also interesting. I liked his character a lot. I mean I wasn't rooting for him and Erika but he was cute. I wish that he would have continued being in the series and not just disappear after what happened. I mean could they still be friends? I didn't like that he just went away. Nozomi was a cliche character all the way but he wasn't changed by a girl. I loved that so much. He didn't stop his playboy ways because he fell in love. It was great that the creators took the cliche than gave it a twist. He was probably my favorite side character. Besides Erika's best friend, I didn't like Erika's friends at all. They were so shallow and just obsessed with their boyfriends. I didn't feel like they were Erika's true friends.
The plot was great. I mean I know it's a little cliche but Sata was really cruel. In most descriptions when they describe the main guy a mean and cruel but is actually just a jerk, it's very cliche but here Sata was really a cruel person. I mean he was a sadist. So that made this series really interesting. The art was great. I love how cute Erika is and I absolutely love Sata's sadistic smile. It's great. I also love the colors. They're bright but not neon and crazy.
Overall, I ended up loving this anime. In the beginning I was eh and unsure but the series got better with each episode. Watching this anime made me want to read the manga to see if there was more because I didn't want the story to end. I do recommend this anime but it isn't for everyone. Yeah there are abusive aspects in it but the main character does get better so I'm not saying that this is the perfect example of romance but it is a perfect example of change and growth within a person so please don't think I condone some of the things Sata has done. I really think this anime should be given a real chance.

Hi everyone! So this past weekend I visited the first ever convention for Liberty City which was really exciting. It was a lot of fun and I met a bunch of amazing people. I went to a lot more panels this time than at AnimeNext so you will see a lot more pictures of those than cosplayers this time because I had to rush between panels.
This is a a quick shot of the artist alley. There wasn't much but there was a lot of pretty stuff. I bought so much art. Now I actually have to find a place to display it all. It kind of sucked that it was small because it was so quick to go through but because it was small I could afford to get everything I wanted.
This is from the opening ceremony. The man in the photo is Ian Rubin. He's a comedian. I actually went to his panel after the ceremony. He was the special guest host. He ended up singing the Pokemon theme song which was funny and really great.
These three are the creators and voice actors for the YouTube channel Pokemon 'Brigid. I also went to one of their panels which I'l talk about later on in the post. There were a bunch of other guests but I didn't see all their panels and such so I would have much to talk about but the other people who were there were Tyler and Heather Walker, Reni Mimura, 2une, Frenchy and the Punk, Corinne "Megami33" Sudberg, Adam Tilford, Austin TIndle, Moshi Moshi, Marcus Stimac, Mario Bueno, Brittany Lauda, and Dokudel.
This is a photo from Ian Rubin's comedy panel. He was great. There were these group of girls which you can kind of see in the photo, they kept giving him stuff to wear. This cute kid cosplaying Steven Universe came in and kind of stole the show. Everyone ended up singing the theme song. Ian Rubin was pretty funny there were some lulls in his performance but I think it was mostly due to the audience. They kept like interrupting him, never letting him finish hist stories. It was a little bit of a mess. I would go see him again at another con if I get the chance.
This was the other panel I saw that day. It was called "The Godfather of Anime: Osamu Tezuka." I know the picture sucks but it's the only one I have. It was a really interesting panel. The guy was great. He mentioned a bunch of Tezuka's earlier works that my dad used to watch growing up. It was a shock to him learning that he's been watching anime all this time. It was a very informative panel. The guy who was presenting the panel also had a podcast channel called "Popanimecomics Lounge" I haven't checked it out yet but I'm definitely planning to.
Afterwards my friend Sarah and I hung out in artist alley before going home. That's her on the left. She had a great time. I happily brought her to her first anime convention. Too bad she could go only on Friday. Hopefully next year she could go for the whole weekend.
Here's one of the few pictures of cosplayers I have. I'm sorry for having so little but I was jumping from one panel to the next. I didn't have the time to stop and take photos. One girl is doing a great cosplay of Asuna from Sword Art Online. I'm not sure what her friend was cosplaying but she looks great in it.
I'm sorry for the quality my phone sucks. I'm getting a new one tomorrow! Anyway, these are another two great cosplayers. I love their poses. The right is from Princess Tutu I believe. It's really great. Again, I'm not sure about the left but she looks really great.
This was one of the best cosplays I saw at the convention. This beautiful woman is cosplaying Zorro from One Piece. I got her to draw a couple of her swords which was awesome. Doesn't she look so cool and bad-ass? I'm glad I was able to get a picture of her.
The first panel I went to on Saturday was the Fairy Tail panel featuring the director and Script writer Tyler Walker and his wife Heather Walker voice actress of Mary and many other characters. It was so great. He answered so many questions on Fairy Tail and really described the process of dubbing the episodes. And yes...we also talked about ships. He totally ships Pantherlily and Carla which I disagree with. I really want Carla to be with happy. He's not a huge fan on having Juvia and Gray together. He's wishy washy on Gajeel and Levy. He sees them together but doesn't really feel it.
When asked about Nalu, Tyler goes on to say that they should totally be together. He says he constantly talks about it with Todd the voice actor of Natsu about it all the time. Then one girl in the audience asks Tyler to call him and he did! We then asked Todd about Nalu. It was pretty funny, right away he answered that they totally should get together, "I mean I've been saving her life for five years!" It was really funny and great. This panel was hilarious and fun. I ended up getting both their signatures later on.
The next panel I went to was the YouTube channel Top5Anime. They are a rating system for top anime. It was great. They talked about how they ask people to vote and it isn't just their opinion. They showed a bunch of videos. It was great. Everyone was cheering for their favorites. My favorite was the Top 20 Anime Couples. I had so much fun with that and even cheered myself. Nalu made number one by the way. The atmosphere in this panel was great and lively. I almost didn't want it to end.
Right after I saw the Pokemon 'Brigid panel. This is a photo of Michael Hect. He voices Ash and a bunch of pokemon in this mini show. His Ash voice sounds so much like Adam Sandler's funny voice. If you watch and episode of 'Brigid and seen a bunch of Adam Sandler movie then you would know what I mean. He was great and funny.
This is Jessi Nowack. She plays Misty and a few other characters and pokemon. She was pretty great. She seemed the least crazy of the three of them. She was great with answering questions. She was the most quiet of the three.
This man voices Brock and a bunch of other pokemon. I don't remember his name and it isn't in the booklet so sorry for the lack of name. He was pretty funny. I loved how he teased Jessi. The three of them are so funny together. I had never heard of Pokemon 'Brigid before but I am so definitely going to watch it now. They pre-released episode 23 during the panel so I saw that and loved it. Now I have to watch the previous ones.
The rest of the time I ended up in the screen room watching the anime Black Cat and Yu Yu Hakusho which was great. I have never seen them before and I am so watching them now currently. I love older anime to it's great to find some good stuff. Sadly, I couldn't attend Liberty Con on Sunday. I was busy at the air show at Stewart Nation Airport. It was cool but I would have rather been at Liberty Con.
Overall, I had a really great time. I went to a lot more panels which was great. I kinda liked that both the dealers' room and artist alley was small because I could get everything I wanted but at the same time it sucked because I couldn't use them to kill time. You could stop at every booth and go through the whole thing in under twenty minutes. Also there were a bunch of mix ups. I mean it was understandable because it's their first con ever but it was a little frustrating at times. I really hope their second year is better than this year!
P.S. I am so sorry for the quality of pictures. I'm getting a new phone so hopefully that will fix everything. If not I'll just have to bring my camera instead. I hope you like this post!
