Russian Roulette w/ manga.
Mar. 6th, 2008 11:50 amI seem to have fallen into the habit of playing "pick random series to read" on One Manga and it's proving to be interesting...
Deadman Wonderland
Summary: Ganta Igarashi has been convicted of a crime he didn't commit and is sent to a new, privately owned and operated prison called Deadman Wonderland that functions as a sort of theme park where the inmates are the main attraction w/ potentially deadly consequences. There he meets a weird girl, finds out he has super powers, and stumbles upon a conspiracy.
My Opinions: Omg. This manga is FUCKED UP. o_o; I felt numb after reading it cuz it was brimming full of wtf wrongfulness!! I also didn't expect that much detailed bloody body parts and images of ppl dying or being tortured. The story so far is proving interesting. You can't help but to kinda cheer on Ganta cuz he's wrongfully thrown into this crazy ass new reality he has to call home and he's trying everything he can to LIVE cuz one strong point of his is that he always gets back up. It's by the same person who did Eureka Seven btw.
Desire Climax
Author/Artist: Ayane Ukyou
Summary: Mio Omari is a hard-working girl. She goes to school and also works a part-time job to help support her family of four. It doesn't help that her mom's sick in the hospital and her dad's dead so she often finds it hard to make ends meet. One night, as she is going home from work, she meets a handsome stranger that steals her first kiss and offers to buy her. She finds out later that he's her landlord's son...and there's more to her relationship w/ him than she thinks.
My Opinions: I clicked on it cuz I thought it was yaoi...and it's not, lol. It's shoujo and wow it made my head reel but I STILL kept on reading it. D: It's got, according to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aoi_tenshi, all the twists a stereotypical shoujo has. But I'm glad Mio's not as weak as the usual female main charac is. She's a bit more independent, strong-willed, and confident...but it still doesn't prevent her from getting molested. ^^; I seem to find myself asking WHY a lot. Why does she love him? Why is he so mean? Why is her "little bro" so creepy?
Hot Gimmick
Author/Artist: Aihara Miki
Summary: I'm pretty sure y'all know this one. It's an older series.
My Opinions: So I finally started to read this cuzsparkledrgn86 told me to a looong time ago. It was making my head hurt, too. I started off hating this one dude, then her supposed knight in shining armor isn't all he's cracked up to be. There's also potential sibling love. Omgggg. I need to stay away from shoujo, gah.
Darker Than BLACK
Author: Okamura Tensai
Artist: Noki Ya
Summary: A young girl searches for the truth; to find out if her father really did die a year ago. This search leads her to the secret and extremely dangerous world of Contractors and the Hell's Gate.
My Opinions: It's like the new adventures of Hei and company. Srsly. XD; I kinda wished it followed the anime, to shed new light on a few things I felt the anime didn't really cover or reveal to us since I was a tad bit confused at the end. Oh well, but so far it seems okay. Nothing really special. I was spazzing when November 11 made his appearance. Hehe.
