From Marvel to manga

  Many people know Stan Lee for his contribution to Marvel comic books. Well, he decided to create a manga, Karakoridoji, Ultimo, origional concept by Stan Lee, story and art by Hiroyuki Takei, inked by Daigo, and painted by... Bob. This book starts out with a band of rebels attacking an elderly man in an era long ago. This man claims to be an inventor and is traveling with two human shaped dolls. Theese dolls are not only life like, but they're alive! One, Ultimo, was created to represent ultimate good, while Vice was created to represent evil. The two were created to fight eachother to the death to see wich is truly stronger, good, or evil. Ultimo is a story that is a definate twist to any of Stan Lee's other work, definately worth reading!

Anime Extra!

  Hey all! I thought the blog still looked a little bare, and I'm a 'lil bored so, i'm gonna post another review or two early! First up is a fairly well known story, Inuyasha, written by Rumiko Takahashi. Inuyasha is a story about a fifteen year old girl named Kagome and her ability to travel to the futile era. There she finds a boy, dead and stuck to a tree, but this is no ordinary boy, he has dog ears! Kagome is then captured and taken to a village where she meets an elderly woman. Soon the village is under attack and Kagome is chased by a monstrous demon! She's then rescued by the mysterious boy with dog ears who some how came back to life! Kagome's life is forever changed and the stories she goes through are absolutely incredible!

  Next up is a great story if you like comedy and vampires (no, not the kind that sparkle). This story, written by Yuna Kagesaki, is Chibi Vampire and is about a young vampire named Karin Maaka who doesn't suck blood, but does the opposite! Yup, she injects blood into her victims, if she doesn't, she gets a massive nose bleed! I mean the kind of nose bleed that would kill an ordinary person. One day on her way to school (Karin doesn't get burned by the sun like the rest of her family, her mom, dad, brother, and sister, so she's free to go to school) she runs into a scary faced boy and something about him makes her blood increase. Follow Karin's journey to find out why her blood reacts to this boy, and have plenty of laughs along the way. A definite read for those looking to laugh!

New Review

   Hey all! I've got some new reviews for ya! First up is an awesome show/manga called Soul Eater. Soul Eater is a hilarious show with plenty of action! This series features stories about three different teams, first is Maka and her partner Soul. Maka is the very serious type and gets mad at Soul, the "cool guy", alot, but the fight usually ends quickly. Next is Death the Kid (Kid for short) and his partners Patty, and Liz. Kid is an epic person for sure, except, he's obsessive compulsive! Every thing has to be symmetrical. Patty and Liz must make sure things don't get out of hand. Finally is Black Star and Tsubaki. Black Star is the trained assasin, but he's completely obnoxious, while Tsubaki is always ready to help others out but she's a little shy at times. The story, written by Atsushi Ohkubo,  is about a scool of meisters, and wepons. Together they must find tainted human souls and devour them. Follow these teams on their journeys to create Shinigami-Sama's new wepon. A definate must read!

   Next up is the all time favorite, a murder mystery! Higurashi, When They Cry, written by Ryukishi07 and art by Karin Suzuragi, is a story about Keiichi Maebara's new town Hinamizawa. At first this little village seems almost perfect, but when Keiichi learns about a murder that happened here long ago, and nobodie's willing to tell him what happens, he investigates. What he finds may very well seal his fate! Read this story to find out who's killing people in Hinamizawa! This story has so many twists and turns you'll be on the edge of your seat the entire time, highly recommended for mystery fans!
