This Haunted House;; I like XD

Mihara-sensei;; I love you~~!! XD I just found another great manga by Mihara-sensei;; the title is Haunted house.


So;; here's an idea of what it's basically about::


Sabato Obiga is just a normal high school student;; but surprisingly his family was everything but normal. As Sabato liked to put it;; they were a little bit eccentric. They love anything that have to do with death and suffering;; and even hell;; they found it very interesting and they actually liked it. He always tries to get himself a girlfriend;; but he kept being dumped all the time. His girl would always dump him after they know how his family is;; even though he had already warned. This is a story about him and his family's antics.


:)

Wanna check it out?? Here's the link::




It looks set to be amusing and interesting enough;; I think I'll finish reading this .. Anyway;; Mihara-sensei's works are never boring! (Although I have only ever read two other titles than this by Mihara-sensei! <3.)

Requiem In Phonybrian

By the same mangaka that draws DOLL:IC In A Doll;; I've found another gem hidden among the piles of trash in Mangafox;; Requiem In Phonybrian. Or;; for short;; R.I.P.


The title suits the mood and plot of the story very much. When I first read the title of the story;; I remember an acquaintance saying to me;; "R.I.P means Rest In Peace" when I asked her what does it mean. There are always that three alphabets engraved on someone's tombstone;; and I was curious since it was anywhere and everywhere (that only applies when we're in a graveyard).


This is not like DOLL;; it's not a compilation of short stories. It's a series;; though a really short one at that. I really wished that it will be longer;; it's kinda okay.


So;; the plotline goes like this::

Virgin Lily and Transylvanian Rose are angels that live in heaven. They were tasked with the job to purify souls so that the souls can go to heaven after they die. Most of the people that die;; their souls are tied to the earth. It's because they are still haunted by unfinished jobs in their past lives. That is why these souls need purifying. One day she heard someone singing;; and that is how she met a guy;; who committed suicide while singing. Out of interest (I think);; she gave the guy one of her wings and made him an angel;; and call him "undertaker". Suicide cases can never be purified;; for it's an eternal sin when you killed yourself. But this "undertaker";; he's the opposite. He can't purify normal souls;; but surprisingly enough;; he can purify suicidal souls. he's the only one that ever can.

Why?

That's basically the synopsis;; I tell you the plot is going smoothly at the moment;; but character-development is somewhat poor compared to DOLL. Oh well;; maybe this is one of Mihara-sensei's early works.

It's a rather weird journey;; but the end is quite satisfying .. I think I'm falling in love with Mihara-sensei's works! <3


It doesn't really makes sense;; the title (at first). But the last chapter explains it all;; but don't try reading only the last chapter out of curiosity! It wouldn't be a great journey if you just skipped;; anyway you wouldn't understand a thing if you would. Read it;; from cover to cover;; and you will appreciate the beauty of love.


XD Haahaa so cliche'~ But it's true;; you know.

Here's the link::


Here's something interesting from the pages of the manga;;


New Love! <3

New favorite manga;; DOLL!! And I love the mangaka's other works too;; so deep and so moving ..


The manga was a collection of a couple of short stories .. That are surprisingly awesome! Just splendid stuff;; makes my heart beat in anticipation and dread when I finally realize what's in store for the characters ..


The characters in the manga are very well-drawn;; and I'll tell you that you will care if the character lives or dies. The plot can sometimes be unpredictable;; but I'll warn you;; there are some uncomfortable and grotesque things ..


And the drawings are enviable! The mangaka can draw expressions on the characters' faces very well!


The issues discussed in the manga are also quite disturbing and mind-prodding;; in short;; this is the kind of manga that will leave you wanting more after it was all over. This was my taste anyway;; I can't really guarantee 100% satisfaction;; as beauty is;; as everyone says;; in the eyes of the beholder.


What I find really interesting and mind-blowing might not be impressive for you;; but nevertheless this manga is absolutely worth checking-out. It's very heart-touching;; and made me cry ;(


Ahaa ;P

So;; this is basically what's it's all about::


There's this company;; they create dolls and sell them. These dolls are made to look like humans;; the company strives for perfection and customer-satisfaction. These dolls are basically robots;; they're strong;; they're emotionless and they're perfect;; in every way;; beautiful and unstained. They have no emotions;; no feelings;; and no desires. Their sole purpose is to serve their masters;; as long as they were needed. There also other parties who pushes the ambiguity between dolls and humans a bit further;; by giving services of to make the dolls more human-like;; you see;; they can actually be modified to bleed when slashed;; to leave a scar when it healed. So;; the compilations of short stories in this manga is basically about the relationship between humans and dolls;; and the reality that these humans were thrust into. All of the stories in this manga;; were about humans and dolls;; and some kinds of other stuffs as well ..


They are very haunting stories;; you'll find yourself getting troubled sometimes ... but they're brilliant!


Ohh;; but;; warning again;; there's some disturbed scenes;; but all in all;; it's a sweet treat!
So;; enough of blabbering! ;)

Haa;; here is the link::
