Well, This Didn't Work Out.....

So much for updating often. I suck at this! Ok. From now on, we're not going to make any unrealistic goals. I'll update when I update, whether it be every night, once a week, or every few months. I'm ashamed to admit that I had actually forgotten that this exsisted. I'm sorry...! So yes, anyway, with this new, more achieveable (is that even a word? Is that how you would spell it? It's too early for this!) goal, I think it's time for a new start. Hello Blog, my name is Melissa, and I will update you whenever I can be fucked. :D

For this first entry in my new start, I wanna talk about manga. Shugo Chara!, to be exact. Gather round kiddies, and listen (or not) to what I have to say.

Ok. So this morning I finished reading the Shugo Chara manga (and Shugo Chara Encore), and as expected I loved it. I came across it when looking for something cute and shoujo. Yes, I like shoujo, I'm a girl, do the math. I was surprised at how short it was, actually, it only took me about a day to read it. So anyway, I found that it's quite similar to Fruits Basket (for those who don't know me, Fruba is my most favourite manga in the whole entire time/space continuum). There's the super adorable heroin (Amu - Tohru), who always knows something wise to say to anyone to make them feel better. There's the prince character, who I personally don't care much for (Tadase - Yuki), and there's a mysterious cat character who at first doesn't get along with the prince because of some past event which is found out later in the story, and then near the end they become closer (this would be Ikuto - Kyo). I do realize that all shoujo is like this, but this one just seemed more similar. The whole slightly supernatural/magical element also gave me this idea. Anywho! Does anyone else think it's weird how the anime has more episodes that the manga has chapters? Isn't it usually ther other way round? It just seems weird to me....

So, favourite/least favourite characters? I'll start with favourite. If you know me, you'll know that I always fall for the mysterious one, the cat as such. I totally adore Ikuto, he was amazing. I was so happy that he (practically, almost, kinda, sort of) ended up with Amu rather than Tadase. I don't know what it is, maybe I'm just a cat person, considering my favourite Fruba character is Kyo. If you haven't already guessed, my least favourite character was Tadase. I know, I know, it seems incredibly biased, but I think that I genuinely just don't like him. From the first chapter I never liked him, he just didn't stand out to me. And then when he told Amu that he liked Amulet Heart, I was like, WTF you jerkface! After that chapter, he just seemed more and more pathetic to me as the story went on, and he began to really irritate me, like the stupid kid he is. He won't lose to Ikuto my ass, that useless little runt has no chance! Ah, ehm, sorry for any offence caused with this. Super mega fangirl who sometimes reads way too deep into her manga here! And what was with that super crazy mind blowing totally shocking plot twist with Easter's Gozen being just a little boy! The little boy that Amu had met in the street not that much earlier! I was like, HOLYJESUSWHATTHEHELLMYMINDHASBEENBLOWNEXPLOSIONDEAD. I seriously did not see that coming. I don't know where I got the idea from but I thought that Tsukasa might have been Gozen. Weird, I know. I also thought that the little boy had the Embryo. Speaking of the Embryo, the Guardians wasted all their time trying to find/save the Embryo from Easter, when the whole time the Embryo was something that every child has, the Embryo was the heart egg? That would have been bummer for Easter, not to mention the Guardians and everyone else involved. So yes, this is my story, and I'm sticking with it. In short, Shugo Chara was amazing, it's made it's way into my top three (So now it's Fruba, Ouran and Shugo). I'm even thinking of doing an Amu cosplay, cause she is just too cute!

However, I am aware that there is many more mangas out there for me to read. So, I go out on my quest to read and enjoy more wonderful manga! Also, my neck is starting to hurt.... I need a neck pillow.
