Now-Reading 8: Youth Pop! (青春ポップ! [Seishun poppu!])

The ultimate focus of this story is finding that someone who you want to protect with all of your life. It might be family, it might be a partner, it might be a friend or a lover. Whoever it may be, you will go to lengths which you've never even thought about crossing until you found this person. My friends, I give you: Seishun Pop!

Seishun Pop!

This is a nice seinen series that has a ton of sex scenes. Tons. As in there are at least 5 chapters worth of sex scenes. Okay, let's leave that. It's mostly about the relationship Sakuta has with people and "another thing." It's just nice to read this. I marathon'd this and it's amazing! Some of the mature themes are great and they really show some taboo stuff in this series. You just have to read it to know what I mean.

Touta Kitakawa is the mangaka for this manga. Her other works include a balding story fittingly titled "Hageruya" (Hage means bald so I'm guessing it's translation is "Balding"). She has drawn more but these are the available ones that Google-sensei provides. Sorry for blabbering too much.

Warning! This title contains mature themes, nudity and violence.

Review: Me and the Devil Blues

After reading this big volume. It's packaged as an omnibus but they don't call it an omnibus. It's twice as long and I really enjoyed the ride this brought.

Warning! It has sensitive themes and nudity.

Well, a touring musician has a lot to sacrifice including family. Today's musician has it easier, but way back in the roaring twenties, it was like hell to be a touring bluesman. It's also not touring, but more like wandering.

Review: Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad Volume 2

Training for the swim team, learning how to play the guitar, playing with a band on-stage, skinny dipping with a really hot babe. Koyuki works hard and plays hard.

We're finally getting closer to what that cover art is trying to get at, Koyuki playing the guitar in a live setting. I wish I had more volumes of this title.

Review: Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad Volume 1

I've watched the anime adaptation and it's 9/10 for me. I'm actually starting to write a story about my experiences because I'm really inspired by the anime. Enough talk about the anime, let's talk about what started it all: the manga.

He complains about his everyday life being dull and wants to do something about but he has no idea on what to do. When Ryuusuke Minami entered Koyuki's life, he started to change and began to have a challenges that made his life better.
