Each night, the wolf will kill one rabbit. To end it, the rabbits vote for whom they believe is the wolf and execute the wolf by hanging it. However, if they vote for the wrong rabbit, then that is the end for them all....<br />
<br />
A group of teenagers who play this game one day decide to meet each other in the outside world. The day they spend together is full of joy, fun and happiness.<br />
<br />
But what happens when they awaken in an abandoned building, only to find that one of them has been killed and hung? The group finds themselves playing a real game of "Rabbit Doubt" as each person is killed one-by-one.<br />
<br />
Can they find out who is the wolf in time?<br />

The manga starts off with young Yuuto expressing his passion for space exploration. His father works at a space station and the person he's always looked up to is a Sirius astronaut. He wants to become an astronaut, but he's afraid his parents would disapprove of his decision. The first chapter is mostly of Yuuto contemplating whether he should study to become as astronaut or not and the end of the chapter was... you'll have to read it.<br /><br />The story in the first few chapters felt slow, but it becomes more interesting and reads faster closer to chapter 5 when more main characters are introduced. I've never read a manga about a space academy (or at least I can't recall ever reading one), so I don't know what to expect. I like the surprises that the manga brought so far, and I'm looking forward to read and see what challenges lie ahead for the main characters. What I like most about Star Children are the the characters: they each have an interesting personality and their emotions and expressions are played well.<br /><br />Recommended audience: All ages <--yeah, you read that right<br /><br />Author and Artist: Kida Masashi<br />Release year: 2011<br />Scanlators: <a href="http://pinoymanga.raikwun.com/" target="_blank">Pinoymanga Scans</a><br /><br />I haven't mentioned or linked the scanlators who translated the manga into English so far.

Also known as Cage of Eden, the manga has a storyline and characters roles similar to Lord of the Flies. The differences between the two are that the manga, being a manga, provides fanservice with its many high school female and male characters and sets the danger to the island to an all time high with deadly prehistoric lifeforms.<br /><br />What I like most about Eden no Ori are the many mysteries that come with the island. Why are there prehistoric lifeforms? Did the characters travel back in time? If so, how and why did it happen? If they didn't travel back in time, was the island always there? Is it natural or was it man-made? Which characters will survive on the island and what role will they play later in the story?<br /><br />I have plenty more questions regarding to the manga but they will have to wait until the scanlators or Kodansha USA finish with it.<br /><br />Recommended audience: Teens<br /><br />Author and Artist: Yamada Yoshinobu<br />Release year: 2008<br />Volumes: 13+ ongoing<br />Licensed by Kodansha USAMun-Yeenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01560147015743322724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885764347569912802.post-90418487028948782422011-07-22T13:11:00.007-04:002011-07-22T13:58:39.343-04:00Oresama Teacher<img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 330px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AK4wJI0KWPY/TimwfWF6pqI/AAAAAAAACaI/RA4tNL_ZW8E/s400/oresamateacher.jpg" border="0" alt="Oresama Teacher" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632226861556344482" />I like reading shojo manga, but it gets a bit boring when you read enough to know what will happen next. But! It's refreshing when a shojo manga like <strong>Oresama Teacher</strong> appears.<br /><br />Meet Kurosaki Mafuyu-- she's an ex-delinquent entering a new school and hopes to make a lot of female friends, but she can't seem to stay out of fights and help the most scary teacher Saeki Takaomi at her school who happens to be her next door neighbor and her... childhood friend? (Their past is a little odd but sweet.) She ends up befriending mostly male delinquents like she did in her past and at some point was convinced by her teacher to uphold justice at the school by disguising herself as a male student and a rabbit.<br /><br />The characters in Oresama Teacher seem to focus more on friendship than love, but it's interesting to read how Mafuyu gets closer to the other characters.<br /><br />Recommended audience: All ages<br /><br />Author and Artist: Izumi Tsubaki<br />Release year: 2008<br />Licensed by Viz Media<br /><br /><sub>Thank you <a href="http://pandascans.blogspot.com" target="_blank">panda scans</a> for releasing the latest chapters every so often!</sub>Mun-Yeenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01560147015743322724noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885764347569912802.post-13795754699459632552011-07-20T16:08:00.002-04:002011-07-22T12:01:39.158-04:00Tetris DS<img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;" border="0" height="183" src="http://image.gamespotcdn.net/gamespot/images/bigboxshots/8/930648_71297_front.jpg" width="200" /><a href="http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/SHMfI4-pd_DDhbjpYkb631-LunYD1UhC"><strong>Tetris DS</strong></a> is the DS version of the classic game of Tetris.<br />Players can play in a variety of new modes, such as push, touch, catch, and more!

The character, Hiromi, chooses to move around a lot because she feels insecure about how people do not know that she is actually genderless. As Hiromi develops feelings for a man that has feelings for her, she is struggles to decide whether she should continue being an intersex or get a sex change before the man she loves finds out about her gender.<br /><br />Some of the chapters in the manga carry stories of different intersexual characters and the stories of people who struggle accepting the concept of intersexuality. I really like how every chapter develops and how each intersexual experience their struggles to fit into society. The chapters on people learning to accept intersexuality are also great reads. The character situations feel very realistic and the characters' developments are often heartwarming.<br /><br />Recommended audience: Teens+<br /><br />Given Titles: IS: Otoko demo Onna demo nai Sei, Aiesu, Intersexual(s)<br />Author and Artist: Chiyo Rokuhana<br />Release Year: 2003<br />Volumes: 17Mun-Yeenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01560147015743322724noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885764347569912802.post-30178915128227920642010-02-07T16:20:00.000-05:002010-02-07T16:21:05.825-05:00Strays<a href="http://www.straysonline.com"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 225px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hg4er9Wsoe0/Swq-6ze_pJI/AAAAAAAAA_M/OpG7T8yR-lc/s400/fc0029.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407344220073600146" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.straysonline.com"><strong>Strays</strong></a> follows a female lupian --a race of humans with wolf-like features-- and her journey through the once thought peaceful land she knew. Sounds like a serious story, right? Well, Strays has many moments of humour, sadness, and happiness.<br /><br />The comic is created by Samantha Whitten and Stacey Pefferkorn. Both are artists with exceptional talent (which would explain why the comic looks professionally done).<br /><br />Recommended audience: Teens+Mun-Yeenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01560147015743322724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885764347569912802.post-58238145457161760022009-11-30T01:27:00.003-05:002010-06-15T00:18:59.683-04:00Pokémon Twilight<a href="http://poketwilight.smackjeeves.com"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0; width: 150px; height: 213px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hg4er9Wsoe0/Sr7JPEU_sbI/AAAAAAAAApI/9JC7RjXk0Go/s400/fc0025.gif" border="0" alt="Pokémon Twilight" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385963465078714802" /></a>An alternate story of Pokémon, <a href="http://poketwilight.smackjeeves.com"><strong>Pokémon Twilight</strong></a> follows the adventures of Indigo League Champion Kaia Attwater and her trainees, Rose Thyme and Gina Green, who are aiming to be Pokémon Masters.<br /><br />The story's events are like the stories in colored Pokémon games and Ash Ketchum's adventure, but with more characters and interesting lives to follow. There's also a Team Rocket crew that the story follows: Sae, Naelle, and Gavin. I personally believe this Team Rocket could defeat anyone if they persevere.<br /><br /> The art fits perfectly with the story with its not too simple and not too detailed style.<br /><br />The comic launched in March 2007, and is by Smackjeeves user <a href="http://www.smackjeeves.com/profile.php?id=3059" target="_new">Ling</a>.
