  2. Frederick follows the rest of the group. He decides to check out the menu first before ordering and find out what kind of Ice Cream is suited for his tastes. As he does this, he also observes what the other cadets have ordered, noticing that each has chosen different flavors of Ice Cream. After a bit of scanning the menu, he finally moves to the Ice Cream vendor and prepares to gives his order. "I would like two Special Vanilluxe Ice Cream Cones, please. One of which will be the standard Vanilla Flavor while the other one will be the White Chocolate Flavor. As for the toppings, I would like Chocolate Sprinkles and Marshmallows on both of them." He takes out his wallet and pays the Ice Cream vendor using the allowance money given by his foster father. Before the Ice Cream he ordered arrives, he releases Theodore from his Aether Ball, so as to not have difficulties later. When it does arrive, he joins the rest of the group in their table, giving the standard Vanilla Flavor Special Vanilluxe Ice Cream to Theodore. Frederick then proceeds to enjoy his White Chocolate Flavor Special Vanilluxe Ice Cream.

  4. Welcome back to the Forums! Hope you enjoy your stay here And I see Kosei Arima from Your Lie in April as your profile pic... I enjoyed the manga version of it, especially how it gave so much life to playing instruments, even if the ending was tragic.

  6. Frederick frowns a bit at Radovan's seemingly snide remark. He is conflicted on whether he should call out Radovan's actions or not. He wasn't quite used to other people openly bullying him; this was a rather new experience as most people treated him with respect unlike him. However, despite the annoyance he holds in his heart, Frederick decides to simply smile cheerfully at Radovan as he says, "I am pleased at your offer, Radovan. Let us head to the Ice Cream Shop." He does believe that trying to fight a man such as him would not do any good for him right now.

    "If you keep on hiding your true feelings, who is going to be happy? If you are sad, you should say it out loud!" - Haruhi Fujioka


    "What good are dreams, if all you do is work? There's more to life than hitting the books, I hope you know." - Suoh Tamaki


    Ouran High School Host Club is one of the few reverse harems that I've read, and I enjoyed it, although I did prefer the later chapters due to its more developed sense of maturity. Ouran High School Host Club features Haruhi Fujioka, a scholarly and studious girl, who becomes a part of the Ouran High School Host Club, a group of six male students who entertain females, after breaking a precious vase. Although she is a girl, she can easily be mistaken for a boy due to her present looks, thus she was able to become part of the Club. All other Host Club members have certain charms to them: Suoh Tamaki, the president of the club, known for being the most charming among the group; Kyoya Ootori, the vice president who handles behind the scenes work and can be considered as a gentlemanly person; Hikari and Kaoru Hitachiin, the twins who use brotherly love to attract females; Honey, the cute senpai who likes everything that is sweet and cute; and Mori, the stoic senpai of the group. The story mostly comprises of the Ouran High School Host Club's various activities as Hosts, and they are shown in different settings and costumes, often times using these to attract females or simply enjoy cosplaying. Although this is the usual focus, it also details on the relationship of Suoh Tamaki and Haruhi Fujioka, with Tamaki falling for Haruhi at the start, but he only thinks of this as fatherly love, and realizes later on that it is romantic (but it really takes a loooooooong time before this happens; it also includes the Twins' falling in love with Haruhi, but they fail because Haruhi is attracted to Tamaki more. What I enjoyed from this manga is the different scenes that were portrayed by the Host Club in their various activites. I didn't really care much about the relationship of Tamaki and Haruhi though, since it was a pairing that I didn't really like; I enjoyed the scenes with the Twins and Haruhi more since it was comparatively enjoyable for me. Still, Ouran High School Host Club is an interesting read or watch, if you'd prefer.

  9. Frederick listened intently to the other cadets' discussion on purchasing ice cream from the store. He was a bit surprised that such an offer was made by one of the cadets; he did not expect Radovan, the slightly smug guy, of all people, to be the one to suggest obtaining some ice cream. He smiled a bit, knowing that the adventure the group had back in that other Nexus had probably strengthened their bond like this, and while he was a bit sad that he was unable to partake in that journey, he felt hopeful that he could also have a strong bond with these cadets. After getting out of his thoughts, Frederick was stunned to see that his fellow cadets had begun heading out to the Ice Cream Shop. He immediately released Theodore from his Aether Ball and placed him in his arms."Theodore, do you want some delectable Ice Cream?" Frederick told his companion, Stufful. At this, Theodore seemed excited and cheerfully encouraged Frederick to move already. Frederick begins to catch up with the rest of the cadets who went to get some Ice Cream, all the while a bit timidly saying, "Wait for me!"

    "I want to live an ordinary life.... if the world.... will allow it...." - Hayashi


    I first watched the Anime version of Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou and I greatly enjoyed the show not only for its unique story, but also for its immensely good graphics. Afterwards, I read the continued Manga version, and I found that the Anime was indeed able to portray the feelings of the characters well into 3D. Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou features a story set in an Apartment Complex, a romance comedy story. Its cast is a 'unique' (eccentric) one, what with Usa Kazunari, the MC, who wants to live a normal life after being called Oddball Handler in Junior High; Ritsu Kawai, the senpai whom our MC likes, a silent and quiet person who loves books so much; Mayumi Nishizono, the working woman who doesn't seem to find a good man and is depressed because of it; Nabe Sayake, the college student who's an expert in make up, especially with the cute makeover she had but is actually nasty and naughty; Shirosaki, the perverted masochistic neet author; and Sumiko, the old landlady. Usa-kun likes Kawai-senpai and wants to get close to her, but it's hard because of senpai's introverted personality and because of the interruptions and distractions done by his roommates. This makes for good fun in every episode/character what with the funny and enjoyable interactions Usa has with Kawai, and also ones including their roommates and the supporting cast. It makes good use of the dialogue and monologue boxes and it also portrays the character's expressions and feelings through the portraits, making funny scenes extremely entertaining and serious/romantics scenes quite heartwrenching. Aside from this, the characters also grow in this series, changing for the better often times. All in all, I definitely recommend both the manga and anime of Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou. I did go out of my to watch the anime version, despite not being the type who actually watches anime actively.

      At least you can play it after exams... I think I have to wait until school starts again so that I can save up allowance or I could ask my parents to lend my money but that'd be hard to ask and achieve.

  13. Glenn takes a look at the ongoing commotion. He sees the archer girl, apparently named Lillie, being rescued by his other teammates. Great. Another one of this group fell to some lowly bandits. He glances at Yullen, the social knight, who was rescued earlier also after sustaining some injuries. He sighs as he remembers what they did to merit their wounds. It's not bad to be headstrong and all, but at least do a better job of it and don't fall down in battle. Glenn moves closer to the group, preparing his Elwind for possible enemies to blow away. He situates himself behind Alunda, the nun, and attempts to initiate a conversation. "What is your reason for joining the rescue team?" Glenn moves to L12.

    "It's not an issue of what you should do, it's an issue of what you want to do." - Yamamoto Tsuyoshi


    "You won't know if you don't give it a try." - Yamamoto Takeshi


    Katekyo Hitman Reborn was an enjoyable manga first for its comedy, but it became even more entertaining when it became a serious action series around a quarter of the way. It features, Tsunayoshi Sawada, a generally cowardly and weak kid, who is told by a mysterious baby that he will be the Tenth Vongola Master. Of course, he wouldn't want to be the Tenth Vongola Master, but he is continuously taught by Reborn to be the Vongola Master, and with the help of the Dying Will Bullet, he becomes a stronger and braver person throughout the series. It begins with small, non serious conflicts, but it becomes slowly serious with the Mukuro Rokudo arc and then it becomes a full-blown action manga with the Varia arc, which featured Mafia members who wanted Xanxus, to be the Vongola Master instead. He acquires friends who become his Vongola Guardians and with their training, they are able to overcome the Varia. The manga becomes heavier with the introduction of the Future Arc, as they try to overcome Byakuran, who intented to make every timeline one where he ruled and destroyed it. The series becomes a bit uninteresting with the Shimon Arc, which was kinda underwhelming, but its plot was still good though. It ends with the Representative Arc which reveals the true nature of the Arcobaleno and it wraps up the characters and the story quite well. Katekyo Hitman Reborn was a manga I enjoyed for the unique powers wielded by the characters; the actiom scenes were well executed and most of the villains were not the types to easily be defeated, except for Enma that is. The overarching plot, which centered on Tsuna's development as a person, was also well exhibited in this manga. All in all, I'd probably rate this an 8/10, I guess.

      Favorite character would have to be Yamamoto Takeshi for being both cool and calm-minded.

  16. "I see. Waiting for them is indeed better in comparison to having to go to them. We'll follow through with what the village of Multon is asking." Lucius tells the messenger, who seemed tired and exhausted. It reminds him of Georgey, who spent most of yesterday sleeping and resting. He addresses the messenger's request to enter the Watchtower to rest. "Of course, you can come inside the Watchtower to rest. I'll bring you to the barracks, so that you'll be able to regain your energy for the trip back to Multon." Lucius ushers the main inside the Watchtower, and leads him to the barracks where he asks the man to comfortably rest. He notices the imposing man, but he decides to avoid the man for a while; he deems that it would be tiring to interact with the man for the meantime. He simply decides to go and read his books in the main room.

    Ideas for manga discussion; outside parties think it's a lover's quarrel

    o7 Since Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun is more on the comedic side, above are some pages which I found to be funny

     

    Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun is a really entertaining romance comedy manga, although the romance part is hardly significant and it focuses more on comedy.


    Its protagonist, Chiya Sakura, fell in love with Umetaro Nozaki and confessed, but he thought that she knew that he was a shojo mangaka, so he just gives her an autograph. Later on, she becomes one of his manga assistants, after visiting his house and seeing his works. The plot continues with Chiya continuing to work well as an assistant and trying to make Nozaki fall in love with her and it also follows their daily lives, along with the shenanigans that they get in with their schoolmates, namely, Mikoshiba, the handsome yet insecure guy who is the base for Nozaki's main character in the manga, Seo, the brash and reckless girl, but can actually sing beautifully, Wakamatsu, the basketball player, who dislikes Seo, but doesn't know that the one he likes, the beautiful singer Lorelei, is actually Seo, Kashima, the tall prince-like girl, and Hori, the short guy who's really good at acting.


    It's really enjoyable how it subverts different tropes in manga like the 'riding on the bike with a girl' trope by making the bike a double seater, 'tsundere' persona by making the guy actually like and dislike a girl at the same time, 'the playboy type' with Mikoshiba actually being insecure and unconfident despite the cool lines he says, and other tropes both in the manga itself and the manga drawn by Nozaki-kun. Its comedy is its overall charm, and its lovable for it.

  18. Seems I've got around 15 more tries before League ends. Coincidentally, it ends a day before my summer break ends and classes restart again. I'll try my best to get the last 4 badges before it ends I thank the Redemption Staff for taking the time to organize an event like this. I admittedly had a lot of great fun; even if the League has been challenging, it encourages me to think of better strategies to counter the leaders' teams. I look forward to both the Redemption Game Version and Season 3 of Redemption League. Best of Wishes!
