I don't really have time to update my blog. Gomen for everyone that already follow or subscribe. >.<. Hopefully after this end of month, I can continue to post anime and manga review. Damn I need my girl now. T_T

Haruhi Fujioka is a scholarship student at Ouran High School, a fictional school located in Bunky?, Tokyo. Because of the superlative cost of the school uniform, Haruhi resorts to wearing long slacks, polo shirts and vests. Combined with her large glasses and tousled short hair, Haruhi's look causes her to be confused for a boy.

Looking for a quiet place to study, Haruhi stumbles upon the Third Music Room, the working place of the Ouran Host Club, a group of six attractive male students (Takashi "Mori", Mitsukuni "Hunny", Kaoru and Hikaru, Tamaki, and Kyouya) who spend their time charming and entertaining the school's girls for profit. During their first meeting, Haruhi accidentally knocks over and break a vase valued at ¥8,000,000, estimated to be US$80,000.

In order to pay off the large debt, Haruhi is employed as the club's "dog" and constantly ordered to do menial tasks like serving food or cleaning up. The Club president, without knowing she is really a girl, promotes Haruhi to "host" as soon as he discovers her potential. Even after the truth comes out in the Club, Haruhi continues the charade and is allowed to pay off the rest of her debt working as a host; provided she conceals her true identity/gender from the customers.

Magic Knight Rayearth

Main Title : Mahou Kishi Rayearth
Categories : Action, Comedy, Fantasy, Mahou Shoujo, Mecha, Shoujo
Original story & original character design: Clamp
Producers: Michihiko Suwa (Yomiuri TV), Shigeki Nakamura (Dentsu), Mikihiro Iwata -> Masahito Yoshioka (Tokyo Movie Shinsha)

The voice belongs to Princess Emeraude, the Pillar whose will maintains the peace of this magical world where belief is power.

YAKITATE !! JAPAN

Summary:
The story focuses on Kazuma Azuma, a boy on his quest to create "Ja-pan", a national bread for Japan itself. He initially heads to Tokyo to expand his bread-making horizons at the bread-making chain Pantasia; the story continues with Azuma's exploits with his other coworkers.

Although the story has baking as its main theme, the parts that generate the most interest are the outrageous puns in the story. Especially notable are the "reaction" based puns made by the judges, who go to great lengths to prove a single point about the bread that they had tasted. The series in general also pokes fun at the shōnen genre's tendency to be melodramatic over mundane tasks.

Yakuza Girl - Blade Shikake no Hanayome

Summary :
Set in modern day Japan on the grounds of Daihon Academy, the manga follows the protagonist Senguu Fumihiro as he enters the academy, claimed to be one of the most prestigious in the entire country, to find a wife and thus satisfy the wish of his grandmother (whom wanted to see her great grandchildren before passing away). Of course, knowing absolutely nothing of what he sees as a top-level school, Fumihiro is caught completely off guard when he learns that technically every student and teacher of Daihon is in fact wielder of supernatural skills and powers. Worst however, is that the students, aggregated in "clans", are allowed to brutally murder each other - even their grades are based upon their enemies' death toll (i.e. the number of students of enemy clans they killed). In such an absurd scenario, Fumihiro's aid comes from Akari, the girl to whom he proposed when he saw her for the firs time.
