Manga review#2:Until Death Do Us Apart.

Okay guys,after long holidays of manga blogging,im back with new action-packed manga for action and thrill lovers!(Sorry,no applicable picture to be used in introduction,haha)


Title:Until Death Do Us Part.
Genre:Action,Adventure,Drama,Martial Arts(Hell yeah!),Sci-fi(Means science fiction,you guys know what it is,isnt it?),Seinen(for adult men,aged 19 or above,but heck,im 18,but i already read it,lol).
Author:Takashige Hiroshi.
Artist:Double-s.
Year of release:2005
Status:Ongoing(the manga is not gonna end yet)
Latest Chapter:Chapter 118.


The story is about a girl who named Haruka Tohyama(or Tōyama) who is hunted down by Yakuza because of her abilities to see a future a.k.a Precog.When she was captured by Yakuza,she predicts that she will meet her protector during the ride with the Yakuza.When she sees a blind guy which she sees in her vision as her saviour,she runs to him and ask a help from him to protect her from the Yakuza or any other people who threaten her life.This blind guy,named Hijikata Mamoru,is running a test to check the latest gadgets that he got,a sunglasses with a sonar technology(see chapter 1 to know more).

When Hijikata says for how long he needs to serve her,she said 'Until Death Do Us Part',thus the title of the manga.He then reject the request from her because he thinks its a joke from a 12 year old girl(yes,Haruka Tohyama is 12 years old during the beginning of the manga) but when he sees a Yakuza people surround him,he then accept her offer.Thus,it begins the journey of Hijikata Mamoru and Haruka Tohyama into the deepest and darkest part of underworld crime,but with help from Elements Network,a vigilante organisation,a blade/katana which can cut through anything from molecular level(damn cool!) and a trusty partner who named Ryōtarō Igawa,who specialised in electronics,handles Mamoru equipment from afar(or in a van,actually) and give a necessary info to Mamoru during his mission,he will survive in his fight against the underworld crime.

Well,that's the summary of the story.In my own opinion,this manga is very good for a action and thrill lovers(like me!)because it mixes a good martial arts and use of weapons.The hero,eventhough he is blind,he is freaking strong and know how to handle a katana very well.
Imagines what happen when a girl with an ability to see a future and a blind yet very strong guy who know martial arts and advanced use of katana+hi-tech stuff in a team?Of course,near-perfect team!

The major drawback of this manga is......i dont know,maybe the story itself. This is because this story is filled with gore sometimes,haha.It is not advisable to read this manga for people who cant watch a limb comes off or a spurting blood....i warned ya.
But,the choice is yours.

Overall,this manga is awesome and depict a high-tech stuff that might be possible in near future.
I hope this manga will get a high publicity,one day because this manga lacks publicity.If this manga is made into anime....ohhhhh yeahhhh,it will be AWESOME!

Story: 5 out of 5.

Plot: 5 out of 5.
Overall: 5 out of 5.

Vacation...

Hey guys.Looks like im gonna take a break from blogging for a while.I got my new laptop,so im kinda 'test driving' it.Okay?
See ya guys!

A day of my life EP 0002.....

Heey guys.Here is another episode of a day of my life....

Well,yesterday,i watched a documentary about a Spetsnaz special force in Astro channel 554(subsribe it!),which is renowned for its brutal training rejime and one of the most feared special force in the world.
For you people who didnt know what Spetsnaz is,Spetsnatz is a military special force in Soviet Union/Russian Federation.Oh,by the way,the program title is 'Weaponology',one of my favorite shows.

In the show,they demonstrated how they fight enemies,undergone brutal training and how to kill using their own body.They use a world-renowned AK-47,Dragunov SVD,VSS and AK-74 which use 'Poison' bullet a.k.a 5.45 mm round which done MUCH more damage than standard 7.62 mm rounds used in AK-47.One of the brutal training are 'Mock' interrogation,which the candidates are tested with how they cope their interrogation stiuation and how they stay calm nonetheless how worse the interrogation is,from receiving electric shock to starvation.They also are trained how to kill with only a mere shovel.Ugh,i dont want to be in the way of those shovel,lol.

For more info on the weapon such as Dragunov SVD,google or wiki it.
In my opinion,the reason why Spetsnaz are feared even by U.S Marines are because they train in harsh ennvironment and equipped with latest weapons of modern warfare.

Enough with military talk.Lets get down to my life.
Last night,i was trying to install Left 4 Dead 2 and Battlefield Bad Company 2 on my comp(testing to see if the DVD is damaged or not).
Everything was going well until....the setup request a password.I was freaking confused cuz the password is nowhere to be found inside the DVD contents...in next 2 hours,i was swearing and yelling at my comp finding the
password in the Internet but it was fruitless.All i got is a damned virus program trying to hack my comp...
After all hope is lost and i was tired but then i got a hunch to check inside the dvd cover and then....I FOUND THE PASSWORD!
The moral:Next time,do not do thing in an aggressive way.Haha.
Well,until next time.See ya!

Manga review# 1 is........ Kami No Mizo Shiru Sekai(The World God Only Knows)


Here's my manga review#1.Be sure to enjoy it!
(If there is any mistake or some misinformation,please inform me,okay?)

Title: 'Kami No Mizo Shiru Sekai' a.k.a in English:The World God Only Knows.
Genre:
Harem(LOTS of girls as a character in a story),Shonen(for teenager boys),Romance(ya guys know about it,dont'cha?) and Comedy.
Author:Tamaki Wakiki.
Artist:Tamaki Wakiki.
Year Of Released:2008
Status:Ongoing(means that the manga is not gonna end yet)
Latest chapter:Chapter 93.


(Picture above:Katsuragi Keima,a main character in the manga)

Okay,this manga is all about a main character named Katsuragi Keima,a guy who are called 'The Capturing God' by gal gamer(like dating sims game,wiki or google it to know more) cuz he is famous in 'capturing' a girl in the game nonetheless how hard to capture her.This guy is not-your-ordinary boring male character.This guy is smart,have looks and always stay calm nonetheless the situation is good or bad,although he HATES all 3D or real life girls(so do i,but not now,lol).Some people call him 'Otamegane',combination of word 'otaku'(which mean fanatic lover of anime and manga.) and 'Megane'(which means glasses).He wear a glasses and an 'otaku'.So,combine this two words and voila,Otamegane!(refer Chapter 1 of the manga).

Back to story.One day,he receives a visit from Elsee(via PSP e-mail service,lol),a devil from Hell realm(the Hell realm heard Katsuragi legendary skill in capturing girls(in the videogames,actually,lol),so they sent Elsee to scout him to become a runaway spirit capturer agent) to help her captures a runaway spirit that only hides in the crevices/gap of heart of the girls(refer the manga for more info).The only way to 'capture' the runaway spirit is to make the girl fall in love with Keima,thus enabling Elsee to 'capture' the runaway spirit and IF Keima fail,he will LOSE his head(a.k.a dead,lol).

That's the summary of the story so far.
In my own opinion,this manga always cracks me up,especially Elsee idiotic act and Keima expression.Unlike any other Romance manga that only targets girls,this manga is kinda special because the genre is for Shounen(teenager boys) which combine romance+shounen+comedy in one place,perfect for a guy who loves romance+comedy in the same time(like me,lol).

The story is also great to read,especially the hero of the story is a genius and can be funny sometimes,much like character Zero from Code Geass,except this guy is an expert in gal gaming,haha.The heroine also portrayed in a good manner and an idiot,sometimes,thus making a perfect partner for Keima.A genius and an idiot in the same team?Surely,the hillarity will ensues!

I tried to find its drawback and the drawback is the story itself might not be favored with some guys who prefer action or a perverts who wants to see a pantyshot(well,sometimes,in the manga Wakaki Tamiki gives out a few fan-service) in the manga.But we agree to disagree,right?

Overall,this manga is great for romance lovers who is a guy and if the manga made its anime debut,it WILL become famous!
P/S:This manga even inspires me to confess to girl that i like,hehe.

Rating:
Story: 4 out of 5.

Plot: 4 out of 5.

A day of my life EP 0001(LOL XD)

Hi guys.This is the day of my life episode 0001.Yeap,im gonna rant about my life here...

Yesterday,i was busy with housework.Moped the floor,wiped the window and babysitted my nephew(although i done it half-way,lol).My mum give me all sorts of work because she said 'Buat laa kerja tu,baru laa kurus skit.Tengok badan tu,cam ular sawa dah!'.Har3.'Aduss!Sungguh menusuk kalbuku perkataan ibuku tu'.But,she is my mum(sometimes i am not agree with her work,but...im just her freaking lazy son,after all,tehe)

After i do all the work,i go to pray and sleep until 6 pm(heck,my body aches all over,so it's a good reason to sleep,no?).After im done praying maghrib and read yasin,i went to sleep,AGAIN.I woke up at 5 am this morning.

I become a lazy bum nowadays.I tried to tell my mum i want to work but she said'Yelah tu,pegi kerja konon,keta moto pun takleh bawak.Blaja wat lesen dulu!!'Agh,i being nagged again...but she is my one and only mother,so i need to be patient with myself.I lost my dad 5 years ago because of stroke disease...and im the only guy left in da family.I was 12 years old at that time and still clueless about this world,haha.Now look at me,being a lazy guy nowadays,lol.

Sometimes i tried to wonder to myself,what am i doing?What is my life aim?Where should i go?
In this wide world,anything could happen,right guys?

P/S:My blog is still under construction.So if you guys find my blog too hard to navigate ,i am sorry for inconvience.Hehe,i will fix it in the nick of time.
