List of Some of Shoujo Mangas That I read

Well, I kind of bored reviewing every shoujo mangas that I read, because I just realised that I'm using cliché words everytime I do the reviews. Anyways, I want to list all of the shoujo mangas that I read and still going on, and, of course, I like them!

1. Charming Junkie by FUKUYAMA Ryoko

2. Kamisama Hajimemashita by SUZUKI Julietta

3. Shitsuji-sama no Okiniiri by IZAWA Rei

4. Oresama Teacher by TSUBAKI Izumi

5. Pika Ichi by MAKI Youko

Actually, I read many, but it's just that I forgot some of the titles (sorry). Hope you reading all of them too!

Faster Than A Kiss by TANAKA Meca

Summary: After losing their parents, Fumino and her brother hop from one relative to another. Getting tired of constantly moving, she finally decides to quit school and work to support her brother on her own. As they sat on a park bench, her teacher appears in front of her and agrees to her demand of marrying and supporting both her and her brother!! Is he serious or just playing around...!?

Lovely! Cute! Loving it. I love how I waited for them to kiss, because you have to wait for so long for them to kiss, not like any other shoujo mangas for showing kiss scene easily. My favourite character is Teppei, Fumino's little brother. He's so cute and understanding. But I really, really want to see them have kids and Teppei grown up. The artwork is fine. The score is 8 out of 10 if you ask me. :P 

Lindsey Stirling

Lindsey Stirling on Skyrim video.

Meet Lindsey Stirling. She was a quarter finalist on America's Got Talent, known as Hip Hop Violinist. I knew her when I randomly watched her music video called Crystallize. She played beautifully with a touch of dubstep. Watch her videos on Youtube. More pictures of her:

A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Such a light classic reading. I think it's because, basically, it's for children. When I read this, I'm in love with Sara Crewe's character. She is such a darling little girl with behaviour. I don't have any criticism about this book, because I do like it but not that much. By the way, I read it in Puffin Classic version. But the cover, it was supposed to be Sara, when you flip the next page, oh God, the picture is not cute at all (the overall)... The book is cute, really.

Dear readers,

Right now, I'm in the middle of midterms from October 8th until October 17th. Wish me luck! (:

Bags!

I'm not a bag-lover person, though. But there are some of bags that I like. This is more like my bag wishlist, because I could never buy these bags because I'm not working yet, hahaha. Here are the bags:

1. Chanel 2.55

These bags are really timeless and really, really classic. You can wear it casually or formally. I really like the black one, but the white and the pastel pink are cute too. Still, the black wins.

2. Lady Dior

The red one is my favorite. Enough said.

3. Céline boston bag

4. Hèrmes Birkin

Well, Birkin is too big and probably too old for me. But the orange one is super, and not tacky.

Naruto by KISHIMOTO Masashi

Summary: Twelve years before the start of the series, a powerful creature known as the Nine-tailed Demon Fox attacked the ninja village Konohagakure, decimating many people. In response, the leader of Konohagakure's ninja military – the Fourth Hokage – sacrificed his life to seal the demon inside his newly born child Naruto Uzumaki. Konohagakure, however, regarded Naruto as if he were the demon fox itself and mistreated him throughout most of his childhood.

My favorite manga of all time! I used to hate Naruto, though. But when I read volume 30, I kind of addicted and bought all of them two days in a row! (When Naruto still had 41 volumes). For me, the story is quite catchy. For people who already read it, do you think sharingan is a bit overrated? Like, there are so many abilities from those eyes and the power are all powerful. My favorite character is Gaara of the Desert. And I hope that Kishimoto make a good ending for Naruto. I enjoyed reading the manga or watch the anime, but the anime has many random shows which is sometimes good and sometimes not. I only watched the anime that has Gaara on it, LOL. The art is good too.

My Favorite Composers (Part I)

This time is about my favorite composers from anime or video games. I like listening to theme songs. I recommend you guys to listen to their music too. Mostly, I listen to anime theme songs more than from video games.

1. Toshiro Masuda (Naruto)

2. Joe Hisaishi (My Neighbor Totoro)

3. Yuki Kajiura (Tsubasa Chronicle Reservoir)

4. Yasuharu Takanashi (Naruto Shippuden and Fairy Tail)

5. Shawn Lee (Bully)

That's all. Hope you guys like them too. If I have another favorite composer(s), I'll post it anyway.

Kimi Ni Shika Kikoenai

Author: Otsuichi
Artist: Kiyohara Hiro
English: Nobody Can Hear Me But You
Summary: A timid schoolgirl who is isolated by everyone, doesn't own a cellphone because no one would call her anyway. So she imagines owning a cellphone in her head, but one day, there is a connection -- the phone rings, and someone is on the line!

Sad but such a refreshing story. It's really recommended if you want to read it. So heart-touching. I really love the plot. I'm not crying physically, but deep inside I cried. I wish it was a happy ending though. But if it is happy ending, it's not that breath-taking, right? LOL. One of the best manga that I've read.

Ways to Live Forever by Sally Nicholls

Summary: Sam Oliver McQueen is an eleven-year-old child, terminally ill with leukaemia, who, during one of his special education sessions decides to write a book about his life. In the book he talks about his life while being ill, the things he'll remember when he dies and, in a section called "Things I want to do", Sam makes numerous lists of questions. With the help of his teacher and friend Felix Stranger (who is also ill with cancer), they conduct various experiments, Sam and Felix break world records (including the world's smallest night club).

I read this book when I was in 7th or 8th grade in junior high. I thought that this book was based on a true story because I remembered when I was going to buy this book, I heard some of people talked about it, but no, it was realistic fiction. Yes, it was sad. Especially the part when Felix died. Things just got miserable in the end. Oh yeah, I read this in Indonesian Language, because I can't find the English one. In Indonesian, the titled is Setelah Aku Pergi or in English: After I'm Gone. The cover was a bit more calmer than the English version, don't you think?

Perfect Girl Evolution by HAYAKAWA Tomoko

Summary: After confessing to her first love, Sunako Nakahara is left broken-hearted and her confidence sinking after being called "ugly" by the boy she likes. Two years later, Sunako Nakahara, the agoraphobic, horror-movie-loving, pockmark-faced, frizzy-haired, fashion-illiterate recluse who tends to break into explosive nosebleeds whenever she sees anyone attractive, is sent to her aunt's mansion filled with gorgeous looking boys. The deal is, if the boys can turn Sunako into a perfect lady in three years, their rent to the mansion will be free. The problem is Sunako doesn't want to change... How will they be able to accomplish this deal now????

My most time favorite manga! A bit contain nude, but funny. I eager to see romance between Sunako and Kyouhei. I like they way they are though, but why they're still don't realized it. They already kissed, went on dates, and so on. I can not hate this manga.. The jokes are suitable for me, and the arts are good, I like all the characters. The manga is still on going, but when I saw on Wikipedia, it's written that they have 31 volumes. I don't want this manga to end that quickly! But I don't know why this manga called The Wallflower and I prefer the manga than the anime too (I haven't watch the anime, though). The chibi Sunako is cute, but I want to see her "normal" self more. :D

Mahou Sensei Negima! by AKAMATSU Ken

English: Magic Teacher Negima!                                                               
Summary: Ten-year-old prodigy Negi Springfield, has just graduated from magic academy, and in order to become a master mage he is sent to Japan to teach English at an all-girls middle school. But Negi has a bigger dream than just becoming a master mage. He wants to find his missing father, "The Thousand Master", the strongest mage that has ever lived. And he soon finds that searching for his father wont be as easy as he first hoped. In fact, it pushes him and his students into life-or-death battles that decides the fate of millions.

I don't how should I put this. I like the manga, but there are something that still missing. I'm curious who's Negi ended up with and about Negi's mother, Arika. I presume that his mother is already died a long time ago. I was sad when Asuna is already back because she slept for over a hundred years, if you read this, you know how I feel. But yeah, I'm still really, really curious about who's ended up with Negi... So many questions that left unanswered. The art is wonderful, I prefer read the manga than the anime. And I hate it because this manga is already over. I like to have a sequel, but that would be weird, I guess.

Atma's Kitchen

It's been a while since I haven't post anything, it's because of my internet connection is really slow at night. On Tuesday, my friends and I are going to go for a dinner (or breakfasting) after the end of the courses. So, I suggest to eat at Atma's Kitchen, because it's near from our courses (if you lived in Jakarta, especially South Jakarta or more specific, Tebet, maybe you have heard of BTA. So this is the place:

 I googled this

I googled this too

Yes, the places is small, but it's really comfy there. And because I have been there twice and there are not many people go to this place, I always get the feeling that this place is ours, LOL. Btw, this place got healthy foods, so don't worry about what you are consuming when you are eating at Atma's Kitchen. I ordered fish (dory fish) and mash potato, strawberry olio.

And after that I ordered carrot cake, but I took it home because I already full and currently, I'm on diet, haha.

it's small, but taste is not really bad

About the food, the food is good, okay. The price is not really that expensive, I guess. But I can't say that for the drink that I just ordered. The carrot cake cost Rp 10,000/each, and I bought two, I forgot the price of the food that I ordered, but if I remember correctly, I think it's about Rp 36,500 or Rp 28,000, the strawberry olio is Rp 25,000. Why don't you come for a visit.

Atma's Kitchen

Jl. Tebet Timur Raya No. 5, Jakarta Selatan

Opening hours 

Everyday, between 7am until 10pm

BULLY Scholarship Edition (Video Game)

Most played games. I played Bully on Wii, on Wikipedia, it is said that there are more missions, characters and what so ever than on PlayStation 2. Since I don't have PlayStation 2, I didn't notice about it, but I have one, because PlayStation 2 have more games than any other PlayStation or Xbox or Wii, LOL. What I like about Bully is because the background is at school, and most of the students are rebel type. Jimmy (the main protagonist) can steal bikes or even a scooter (this is funny). The minus is that this game is really short! The plot is really short, I need more. And, the final was too easy, Gary (the main antagonist) is really weak at fighting, gaahhh.
I wish Rockstar Games will make another Bully 2 or something. Because this game is really cool, and I love to listen to the music theme. My favorite character is Johnny Vincent from the Greasers, he is the leader. There are many cliques: Greasers, Preppies, Jocks, Bullies, Nerds, Townies (or more like the Dropouts) and the last is Non-Clique. Oh yea, this game is also have controversy among parents. But parents are fine with it, haha.

Some more pictures:

Yes, he's Johnny Vincent, the one who's in the front.

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun by ROBIKO

English: The Monster Next To Me, My Neighbor Monster-kun
Summary: Mizutani Shizuku is the type of person who only cares for her own grades. But when she accidentally delivers the lesson notes to Yoshida Haru, Haru becomes convinced they are friends. Haru turns out to have a very innocent personality, but who would've thought that Haru would actually confess to Shizuku?


Mizutani Shizuku, she's my favorite manga character until now (I don't know about her in the next chapter and so on, though). She's not the type of girl that usually in shoujo manga. She's cold, smart, quiet, but still nice. This manga is not mainstream, like how the male character is so "typical bishounen" smart, cool, girls adore him much, but no, he's a brutal one. And how there are so many cliché misunderstandings, and after that the girl cried, but they are so honest and that's cute. :3
I wish this manga, especially Shizuku will continue like this. Don't make this manga becomes mainstream and be different until the end of the story.

Cage of Eden by YAMADA Yoshinobu

Summary: Akira and his classmates are travelling on a plane when it crashes onto an island inhabited by species thought to have been extinct. The situation becomes increasingly desperate as some of Akira's classmates are eaten alive, while some kill others in desperation. Now Akira and a few other survivors are trying to survive what seems to be a horrible nightmare.


Ranked 4th on mangafox. Recommended manga if you love mystery and science-fiction manga. An unexpected adventure that they have been through. Also the characters who died and then there are new characters more. Though it's ecchi, but still, I can't stop reading this manga. Thanks to my friend, who recommended this manga to me. There is one manga that looked similar to this, but I don't really like it, I do like it, but it's too ecchi, and more sadist than this (I don't know how many mangas that similar to this, but I only one of them besides this). The story is more unexpected, but I recommend to read this first. Hope you like it.

Watashi Ni XX Shinasai! by TOOYAMA Ema

English: Do XX to me!
Summary: Himuro Yukina, known as the "Absolute Zero Snow-woman" is a cold and observant girl. In addition, she is actually a popular cell phone novelist who goes by the name of Yupina. Sadly, with no other human contact than her cousin, Yukina is unable to express more romance in her novels. Kitami Shigure, your so-called "typical bishounen", who is really a womanizer, has fallen into Yukina's trap when she blackmails him, and Shigure ends up doing Yukina's ''missions of love''. As this continue, will these ''missions'' be a opportunity for them to fall in love?


I kind of like this story. Especially the first character, Yukina. She's cold, intelligent, and calm. Especially, when she's being bullied by the other girls (a girl being bullied by other girls, too cliché). Sadly, as the chapter goes on, she's getting more and more boring. After she met Shigure and doing lots of love missions, she's became the typical girl in shoujo manga. You know I mean, right? Weak, fragile when it comes about love, whiny, and boring! But I still enjoyed the manga, LOL. This manga is a little bit ecchi, though. And I don't really know about her relationship with her cousin, Akira. Akira love Yukina, but not kind of family love, is it incest? If he is her distant relative, then that's fine. The manga is not completed yet. I'm still waiting for the next chapters!

Ao Haru Ride by SAKISAKA Io

English: Blue Spring Ride
Summary: Yoshioka Futaba has a few reasons why she wants to "reset" her image and life as a new high-school student. Because she's cute, she was ostracized by her female friends in junior high, and because of a misunderstanding, she couldn't get her feeling across to the one boy she has always liked, Tanaka-kun.
Now in high school, she is determined to be as unladylike as possible so that her friends won't be jealous of her. While living her life this way contentedly, she meets Tanaka-kun again, but he now goes under the name of Mabuchi Kou. He tells her that he felt the same way as she did when they were younger, but now things could never be the same again. Will Futaba be able to continue her love that hadn't even started from three years ago?


I like this couple! Well, they are not yet a couple, but I do like both of them. As far as I read, Futaba is not a crybaby (Damn, I'm annoyed with that type of girl). The author is the same as Strobe Edge, but I prefer this than Strobe Edge, though. I don't see the minus in this manga, yet. I can't wait for the next chapter, because there's only 18 chapters.
