Series Review: Nozoki Ana; Peephole (ノ・ゾ・キ・ア・ナ [No・Zo・Ki・A・Na])

Sometimes, the smallest spark can burst into a huge flame. This is exactly what this story is about; a small crack/hole in a wall that will drive two unlike people into sorrow, sadness, joy and lastly, love. Neighbors divided by paper walls, witness each other's true selves. It is an odd story indeed, a love born out of a Peephole.

Nozoki Ana Volume 1
I'm on an ecchi manga binge. Well, to be exact, it's a seinen romance manga. Tons of love-making scenes and heartbreaks. I just read this today, the entirety of it (2nd of July, 2014) and I have some sort of a lingering headache from reading on a tablet all day.

Honna Wakou is a female mangaka who drew this seinen manga. WHO WOULD'VE KNOWN? Wakou does sound a bit female so I saw this coming. Sort of. From what I've gathered, this is her first published work which is not so bad considering it ran for 13 volumes. It is nice to see that it's an adult love story that leans towards the female side of a relationship. Enough jibber-jabber, let's get to the review.

Series Review: Kono S o, Mi yo! Look at this S (このSを、見よ [Kono S o, miyo])

What if you had a curse/blessing (depending on how you see it) that make the opposite sex crave for you? To men, a tempting offer but to women, a curse. This story tells the situation of an adult male having a birthmark on his bum that has the power to make women crave for him in a sexual way. The catch? The women must still have their period or else, it won't work. How does it get "turned off"? The woman just needs to have sex with the guy to avoid further sexual frustrations and wet panties. Still with me? Good! Let's review this!

Kono S o, Mi yo! Volume 1
The mangaka; Kitazaki Taku, has been published with multiple titles since the late 80s. I don't know much about the guy but from what I can see (which is barely scratching the surface), he's drawn a lot of ecchi stuff. I don't have anything special to say since I haven't read anything from him except for this title. I will read the stories "prequel" because this story is unique. I'll get to it. Just click that "READ MORE" and hope you'll be satisfied with this review.

Weekly! All you need is Kill 16 & 17 (END): All you Need is Kill; Sky Blue

Keiji gets attacked by Rita. According to Rita, both of them have become antennas because their brains have received a signal that only mimics use. To escape the loop, one of them has to die and continue to save humanity. At the end, one survives and drinks the moldy coffee. That person will continue to save humanity with their skill and knowledge about mimics. All you need, is kill.

Announcement of the Tankobon's.
Mother of god, I'm getting teary-eyed just thinking about the ending. Last night (06-10-2014) I saw the ending and it was awful. My heart was breaking and my chest tightened. I don't know why but I really got emotional that night. It has officially ended. Let me tell you more about it. Here's are the titles: オールユーニードイズキル (Ōruyūnīdoizukiru) and スカイブルー (Sukaiburū).

Previously on: All you need is Kill 15: Rita go on to the battlefield and save Sergeant Bartolome and the other troops. After pushing the mimics back, Rita signals Keiji to go on and execute their plan to kill the server and backup mimics. Keiji feels something urgent is coming...
