Cynical Violet...Doujin Maniac

October 28th 2009

I finally received a message from the seller of 3 of the Gundam Seed doujinshi I bought. The items were shipped yesterday! I'm so excited right now! I also can't wait for Halloween this year because it's been 3 years since I haven't celebrated the holiday. Plus, I don't have school on Friday the 30th of October! Everything, is going well for me right now. I added new fanlistings on my links page! I absolutely love Bride of the Water God! The banners are so beautiful I couldn't choose which one to put on my links page! But eventually, I did.

I usually go for mangas with doll looking characters. Some people find it scary but I find it beautiful. Generally, drawings like that are for darker plot lines that deviate from typical shoujo mangas. I usually associate it with dark Lolita mangas like Petite Cosette. The reason why I’m talking about this is because I found a new manga to be obsessed about. The manga is called Hana wa Knife o Mi ni Matou created by manga-ka Sakurada Hina. You may know her as the creator of Hatsukoi ni Oboreta scanlated by Osuwari Team. Her drawings are becoming more and more doll like with her latest manga volume. I first became familiar with this author when I bought a Cheese monthly magazine featuring a chapter of Hatsukoi ni Oboreta. At first I found her drawing strange because the characters were overly thin. However, I found the drawings of the eyes beautiful. Later, Osuwari Team decided to pick the manga up and I was ecstatic. Okay, I’m blabbering again…anyways, like I was saying this new manga is a psychological story about a young girl who models for her teacher. She likes him but he keeps his distant and is rather cold towards her later on. [SPOILER]In the ending of chapter 1 the main character finds out about the love affair between the teacher and her friend.
Her story Hatsukoi ni Oboreta has a similar plot line where the heroine has a one-side love for her guy friend who already has a girlfriend. It is extremely hard to find raws for her mangas. Luckily, for me I was able to find the raws of chapter 1 for Hana wa Knife o Mi ni Matou. I also, found raws for her other works.

Okay, this month I did it again I spent a whole lot of money on my manhwa and espcecially, my doujin collection! But before, I talk about the the books I will like to add that I updated the doujin page. Of course, that's not my whole collection. You may notice that I own more Gundam Seed doujin than any other of the categories. The reason is that I'm a Gundam Seed maniac when it comes to the Athrun x Cagalli pairing. Anyways, back to my point the two books I bought was from Aladdin. The two manhwa volumes were one-shots compiled into a single manhwa volume. I was so excited with I saw the illustrations inside. I decided to buy the books because of that. Plus, both the volumes were large and hardcovered. I have to say I was sort of disappointed but who knows the stories themselves might be good. I know it's lame that I'm making assumptions when I can't even understand what's going on. However, it doesn't take a genius to guess whether or not the ending will be happy. I guess I should have expected so when the theme for one was "Antiq & Sad". (what the heck does "Antiq" mean anyways?) The other was centered around boy's love. I can't really say much about this volume except for all the angst in here. I found the story called "To Be Born In An Endless Night" strange....if that's even the proper word to refer to this one-shot. The one-shot was created by the infamous author of "Flower of Evil" and "Savage Garden". From my understanding it's about a teenager boy who is sexually abused by his father. He meets another gangster(?) guy and is attracted to him. There's some weird fantasy thing going on and I really don't get it.

I bought 6 doujinshi today. I spent over 100 dollars on all of them. The first 3 were Gundam Seed doujinshi, 2 were athrun x cagalli pairings, and the last one was a shonen-ai doujin of athrun x kira. I usually don't go with shonen-ai pairings for Gundam Seed doujinshi, however, the drawing is just way too pretty I couldn't resist. The other three I bought were Blood+ doujinshi two of which were Saya x Solomon pairings, which I don't go for and the last one is a cute pairing of Haji x Saya x Solomon. I don't frequently buy multiple doujins like this because it costs a lot. In this case all the doujins I wanted to get were sold by the same seller. That means the shipping and handling will be much cheaper. Also, the doujin I purchased are rare! I'm extremely excited because this is the first time I've bought any Blood+ doujinshi! ~~PLUS, 3 of the Blood+ doujins are free for shipping and handling.~~ NOT! Now, I just need to wait for the reply from the seller on my invoice.

Also, I will like to add that I will be providing some raws that I have collected over the years. Most of them would be one-shots because I love one-shots. BTW, I'm not talking about my doujin collection here. I'm referring to my manga collection. I'm still debating whether or not I will provide raws for the two manhwa volumes I bought. The raws will take longer for me to put up because I haven't uploaded the images.

I've decided to do updates on the manhwa magazine "Issue" from now on. I'm a big fan of manhwa and this magazine is one of the various magazines that feature my favorite manhwas. I will not provide scans for the manhwa magazine but I will provide sample images for each of the chapter featured in the magazine. Please don't ask me about the scans nor will I provide all the summaries for the manhwas featured. I will only provide summaries for the manhwas that are already scanlated.

As you know I wrote that I would be updating my page this summer. But it turns out that I didn't even do anything besides changing my layout. I probably won't be doing any updates soon because school will start in one day. I'm glad that I 'm living in the dorms that have air conditioning because it's been pretty hot lately. It's nice that the computer lab is always open for students to be able to use. This is so much more convenient for me because I don't have a laptop. Of course, I plan to get one when I have the money. Anyways, classes are going to start on this Wednesday not Thursday. I was told in late July that it was on September 10 on a Thursday. But I guess it's only one day later than secondary schools. I wasn't clear about this site when I created it. This is basically a blog that I will be updating from time to time. There are other links here like the "doujin" page, which is a compilation of the doujinshi I own. They are my collections and I will not share them online. So, please don't ask for links to download them. As you've noticed on the navigation bar it lists the different categories of doujinshi I own. Most of the pages are blank because I haven't scanned in all the covers yet, so the doujin page continues to be incomplete. I will scan them in when I have time. My next point is that from time to time I will discuss on manhwa, Anime, or books that I'm currently into. So, today is Savage Garden, the manhwa. In chapter 9, it continues from the scene where Joshua pulls the moves on Jermey a.k.a. Gabriel. He is about to kiss her when she stops him with her hand over his mouth. It was pretty funny when she told him to "snap out of it, fool!" In this chapter Ray's fiancee makes an appearance. The main character Gabriel is quite shocked and I'm sure she is concerned about their relationship. The person who translated the chapter mentioned that at the end of this chapter there is a wicked twist to it. I just hope that it isn't as bad as I think it is. Well, that's it for Savage Garden chapter 9 updates.
