Introduction

Hihi! This is a blog about my reviews of different manga (and occasionally manga-like comics). As such, there are some things you will probably find helpful.

First off, a short description of myself: I am a man living in America who discovered anime (and then manga) only a few years ago. Since then, I have been getting more and more obsessed with Japanese everything since then and have been feverishly watching anime, reading manga, and studying Japanese culture and language since. However, since I'm pretty new to the scene, I still haven't experienced a lot of stuff that the stereotypical otaku has. As such, I always welcome recommendations! They have to go on my ever-growing queue, but if it is awesome enough, I will try to watch it soon ^_^

On that note, I can describe what genres and themes I seek out in manga. As far as genres go, I generally prefer feminine stuff. I like a lot of shoujo, definitely yuri and shoujo-ai, harem, slapstick, ecchi (for the win!), romance, comedy, and drama. For themes...generally anything with a healthy dose of moe. If it is not moe, odds are, I won't like it (that goes for themes and art).

IMPORTANT NOTE: Basically this entire blog will be a spoiler, but I will attempt to put the important stuff in black-on-black blocks. There are NO GUARANTEES that I will be entirely successful! Also, anything revealed in the first chapter is fair game to talk about at length outside of a spoiler block - it is the introduction.

So now that you have gotten to know me a little, I hope you enjoy or find useful my reviews!
