Manhwa: The Villain's Savior
So I just Started to read this manhwa and I think I should drop it Hahaha not because the story is bad. But because every chapter is so depressing and very triggering and it's bad for my heart.
This manhwa is About Azef who is a character from A Novel read by the Female Lead, LJ, Azef is being mistreat by his Father because of his Mother having another Man and coffusing him to be a biological son. Then his mother died by being mistreated by his Father after coming back and a accident happen. Which leads to Azef to be lonely and he Met his new Adopted mother, who is a bitch, she also mistreated Azef, due to this Azef become a murderer and become the villain of the story by being misunderstood his own predicaments in life. LJ, sympathise in Azef although he is a fictional Character due to this she become stress of the story and isekaid to the Novel. So she planned to saved Azef on what will happen to him.
I don't recommend this manhwa if you had a very fragile heart and very triggering personality. Also this is not suitable for age below 15, caused of killings and other stuff of the story that can make you depressed.
So, what do you think of the story. Have you read this? Do you have other story you recommend? Share it with us.

We know that Anime is from Japan so mainly the setting of the story of anime basically the main life of Japanese. That's why I'm amaze on Japanese, on how they do stuff with determination and precision. They take the reality to the anime, like the exact same thing in reality. Anime is not mainly on Japanese culture, many anime shows the beauty of other country. Like for example in Anime Series **Charlotte,** which the main character travel the world just to gather all of the power and saves the lives of other people.

Animators is so dedicated in their work and the author did make all of the research just to put a plate of food in the anime. You will learn how to cook in Anime! Yes! You heard it right.

Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji Review
Story
The anime follows Erika Shinohara and Kyouya Sata as imagine couples. Erika experienced difficulty making companions and she just increased some subsequent to imagining she has a sweetheart. At the point when her companions got dubious, she haphazardly snapped a photo of a hot person strolling in the city. They won't perceive a more interesting, correct? All things considered, not if the person is a well known attractive figure at your school. Erika had a decision. Approach the person and request to be imagine BF and GF or only fess up about her untruths. She decided to move toward the person. He agreed however. Gracious, Erika needed to pivot multiple times first and bark like a canine. Kyouya simply discovered his new pet.
Taking the Pants Off
Oh rapture, it's been for a little while. How would we this once more? Truly, I wasn't in any event, anticipating delivering a survey since life just got strikingly tumultuous. I'll do another post about that. We should zero in on this anime. Definitely, how about we make a plunge on this extremely disillusioning anime. Above all else, this anime felt peculiar upon early introduction. I continued reasoning the whole thing would look better in the event that it was a true to life show, and you realize what, there is really a true to life film of this one. It looks really cool. Look at it. In any case, this show is… .acceptable. I imagine that is the correct word for it. It's not so much awful, since it adhered near the first source. Nonetheless, it's not so much good either since it strayed from the first source too. I let you know, it's been some time since I did this. I'm not seeming well and good.
Fundamentally everything comes down to the variation itself. The show comes up short on some specialized perspectives, yet since the first source is acceptable without anyone else, the show flourished. As a shoujo anime, this show sucks. Like, the central, practically subconscious, parts of the shoujo type are messed up by this anime. The entirety of my protests with this anime are totally specialized. From activity to arrangement organization and all that sh*t. I continue hovering back to the manga however, in light of the fact that it is really damn acceptable. I ask you to simply peruse the first source and disregard this anime. Every last trace of acclaim you can think to give this anime is fundamentally on account of the drawing in manga it adjusted gravely. This show will make you overjoyed, on the grounds that it hit the correct spots in certain minutes, however it can likewise be an errand to watch. It's truly only a wreck, so how about we go at it with extra special care.
Situational
This anime kinda does not have a story. It worked off its reason for most of its first half, and afterward it simply formed into another reason. There isn't generally a story. It's just plain obvious, it's an ideal opportunity to get specialized. A reason is the stuff you read off MyAnimeList's depiction of the show. It's the stuff introduced in the primary scene, yet it inevitably gets layered by other stuff until it blooms into a story. For a genuine model, we should take a gander at Ao Haru Ride. The reason is about a kid and young lady that used to like one another, grew up separated, rejoined and the person is an outright d*ck now. The chick still kinda burrows him however, so she pursues him attempting to reignite the warmth of their past. The story blooms from that. We find the person is a d*ck in light of the fact that his mom kicked the bucket however he led on the young lady for a really long time that she essentially had enough. At the point when he's prepared to adore her however, the young lady has just discovered another fella ready to cherish her back. So the d*ck now pursues the young lady. Presently, for Ookami Shoujo, the reason is about the young lady professing to have a beau. She snapped an image of an arbitrary buddy to fill in as her BF, he ends up being a famous attractive person in school, and she presently attempts to persuade him to play imagine couple. He concurs however, and he before long uses it as a coercion to abuse the young lady. The chick must choose between limited options however, since she got herself in that circumstance in any case. She, be that as it may, can't avoid his appeal and situational inconvenience results.
The story, well, there isn't generally one. The anime simply follow the diverting misfortunes of the kid and the young lady as an imagine couple. While the young lady becomes hopelessly enamored with the person, ohmygosh spoiler, the story doesn't generally set off. I really don't have the foggiest idea what the anime is attempting to accomplish. While Ao Haru Ride never truly had a decent variation, I was as yet sold on the high school tension and misinformed revering of the couple. For this anime, the flavor never truly creates. We see the couple simply get into various charming circumstances that closes with them acting like an adorable couple. The person becomes ill, they spend Christmas together, a Valentines scenes and a ton of other sh*t like that. It needs body however. Sooner or later, you kinda need more from your story. You wanna become hopelessly enamored with the characters and you need to applaud them. You need to treasure each second they have as much as they do, and this anime simply isn't giving us the products. I despite everything recall this unpleasant scene in Ao Haru Ride where the young lady truly smells the person's hair while he is dozing, and it puts on a show of being adorable since the young lady's confused blamelessness is in full presentation. It's strange how simply the little subtleties really make a shoujo manga work, and this specific anime flopped on conveying those little subtleties. I needed to check the manga to see where the anime stumbled and I was stunned when I understood it was over the least complex of subtleties.
Subtlety
On the off chance that you really check the manga, you'd understand the anime is adjusting it with no guarantees. This implies each casing really wakes up in the anime on the grounds that the show utilized it as the gawd damn storyboard for the show. Presently, I love anime that adjusts a unique source verbatim yet I HATE a show that lethargically utilizes the manga as the storyboard. It couldn't be any more obvious, more specialized stuff. Is this what you needed to find out about when you tapped on this audit? Taking the manga, replicating a board and including hues aren't generally that amazing. It's really modest. A ton of hentai anime does this. Rather than squandering cash on an attractive anime, simply vitalizing the manga is adequate. For hentai, I generally approve of this, since the first source is frequently significantly additionally frightening with its fluids and pushing audio effects. For a shoujo anime however, the cycle looks modest. Duplicate gluing from the manga just makes your show a celebrated moving picture. It isn't generally a transformation. A variation catches the aim of the creator. It catches the primary thought it was attempting to convey. In Ookami Shoujo's case, it discloses to us that affection is entangled however it doesn't need to be. It's just confounded in light of the fact that individuals are muddled. Strip away the rubbish and love can be effortlessly communicated. Did you get any of that in the anime? You won't. Why? Since the little subtleties, the subtlety, of the manga isn't adjusted by the anime.
On the off chance that you observe some other shoujo anime, you'll notice that the hues are normally light, regularly blurred. Truly, any JC Staff or Production IG sentiment has a delicate palette. The principle reason is on the grounds that a ton of the scenes in the first source request a delicate palette. Oh rapture, we're currently going more specialized. Investigate this picture of the young lady becoming flushed in the anime:
It looks OK, correct? Here she is in the manga:
So what's unique? Indeed, it's the little subtleties. Notice the bubbly circles out of sight. It's really a barely noticeable detail in most shoujo anime, yet it adds a ton to the experience. The anime comes up short on that. It does not have the subconscious sign that will cause you to feel something for the character. So generally inspiring or thrilled minutes in the show, this way:
Does not have the one-two punch it has in the manga.
Better believe it, he's expression the correct words however it's truly gawd damn inadequate. This is the reason I scorn simply duplicating a manga when you don't have the foggiest idea what precisely you're replicating. In case you're asking why the little air pockets of ink aren't in the anime, it's essentially in light of the fact that it's harder to vitalize. TYO Animations studio kinda went with a delicate spending plan for this show. I'll discuss the activity in detail later on. For the present, we should simply plunge further into where the variation fizzles. Indeed, more specialized stuff. Is it accurate to say that you aren't happy TPAB is back?
Smoothed out
Or then again is the right word "misrepresented"? For reasons unknown, there are sure sections that the anime didn't adjust. It's peculiar, in light of the fact that the anime is adjusting the manga verbatim yet it skirted some significant parts. I don't generally comprehend. Generally, one part would normally be one scene in the anime. It looks great, since the manga's movement is kept unblemished. Gutting out specific parts kinda ruins the duplicate glue technique for the show however. I just read up to the seventh part or whatever. I'm an apathetic peruser, however the anime didn't adjust two sections from the OG. It's a sea shore scene and a story where the person coached the young lady. I initially however that invigorating these scenes would be extreme, so they gutted it out. I before long acknowledged they kept out these scenes for two straightforward reasons. One, it made the person look powerless. Two, it fleshed out different characters. The anime truly simply centered around the couple and that's it. It likewise focused on one account: the young lady pursuing the uninterested person. It's kinda the best aspect of the show in any case observing the simply give zero f*cks about everything. The two parts gutted out kinda ruins the account however, as the person really pursued the young lady in these sections. I think in the sea shore part, the person implied that becoming hopelessly enamored is simple when he offered a guidance to this man we never found in the anime.
**Sight and Sound**
Being a copy-paste kinda anime, the visuals are mostly the same as the manga. The character design is very beautiful and it does scream shoujo. I particularly love how Erika would change her hair style throughout the series, and she even cut it at some point in the story. The character build are all the same though, but you can’t really expect much variety from a romance manga. They all have to be fashionably sexy and handsomely built. They have a specific audience to cater to. I love how Ayuko Hatta dedicates a lot of panels for the couples though. Every wide eyed expression, every blush and every contact feels so special with how much importance she gives them. She often eats up an entire page just to deliver the best facial reaction to the situation, and I absolutely love it. The reader would often have to stare a long while at the vulnerable characters, and it does help in cheering them on throughout the story. The anime completely botched this though. The use of bland colors absolutely killed the beauty of Hatta’s characters. Though to be fair, they used the same color scheme Hatta used in her colored pages. Those pages look atrocious as well, so adapting the intended vision was kinda a big part of the anime’s job. Well, they also kinda needed to animate the damn thing.
Animation is horrible. While the show did use the manga as a storyboard, they did very little to animate those scenes. A lot of times, there are very little movement. The transition animations look sloppy as hell, and the characters faces would distort because of how piss poor they animated the whole thing. Sometimes they’d short cut certain scenes, like doing a close up while a character is walking, so they won’t have to animate a different scene. Sometimes, characters would only move their mouth. Sometimes, there would be no animation. You just hear character talking while their back is turned against the camera. Certain scenes do look passable, but the overall animation isn’t good enough. If they weren’t lazily tracing the manga, I don’t think the anime would look presentable at all. No wonder they can’t animate the soft ink bubbles, something as simple as a walking cycle is too much for them. The show feels a tad robotic, and it really looks boring as time passes. While the entire thing looks OK, the show does fail on the little details. It’s hard to like something that looks so cheaply made. It just looks horribly half-assed.
The anime’s OP is “LOVE GOOD TIME” by SpecialThanks. I love this song. It’s catchy and stylish even though I’m sure the singer is doing some forced English lines. I have listened to this song countless times and it’s honestly the main reason why I finished the show. I just freakin’ enjoyed listening to it. The OP sequence does tell a lot about the show though. The horrid animation is present, the lack of a story is obvious and it actually featured a ton of just random situations which is aplenty in the actual show too.
The anime’s ED is “Ookami Heart” by Oresama. This is a weird techno pop song, but it is pretty catchy as well. A lot of awful shows have strong OSTs, and this anime is no different. It’s a stylish song, and I love how the anime tried to emulate that as well. The animation is still awful, but there is some genuine effort in the ED sequence that I do appreciate.
Overall Score
5/10 *“It’s good enough to urge you to read the manga, so the show kinda served its purpose. Go on, read the manga instead.”*
The entire show is just passable. It’s OK but it’s also entirely forgettable. It’s a huge disservice to the manga, so I really just want people to pick up the original source instead. This anime fails on the basics and the technical aspects so it can’t really give you any meaningful experience beyond what it lazily copied from the manga. If you like shoujo, I think this anime will just waste your time. Sure, it had its moments but it’s an inferior product that doesn’t deserve your attention. I do not recommend it.
Ao Haru Ride Review
Ao Haru Ride Review
This is review number three hundred and sixty five. This anime is part of the Summer 2014 lineup. The anime I’ll be reviewing is called Ao Haru Ride or Blue Spring Ride. It’s a thirteen episode anime about a guy and a girl admiring each other. It’s a cute show. Let’s read on.
**Story**
Futaba Yoshioka has a crush on Kou Tanaka back in middle school. He is a timid boy, and she is a cute girl. They’re now in high school, and they’ve reconnected after being apart for years. Futaba is now an unladylike person, and Kou is now a closed off emotionally guarded individual. Futaba is still attracted to the Kou she once knew, and she wants to be with Kou now knowing that there is still something between them.
**Taking the Pants Off**
It’s actually been a long while since I’ve tried a romance anime, so I’m really excited to watch Ao Haru Ride. Shoujo shows hits a soft spot for me, because I always like the feeling of acting like a giddy school girl when no one is watching. I’m especially fond of the Shoujo scope, where a close up shot of one character staring at another character can have the most romantic sh*t ever. I guess it’s because I grew up watching Shoujo anime, and I always have fond memories of shows like this. I think it’s also my high expectation for Shoujo that ruined Ao Haru Ride for me, because I really didn’t enjoy it. I understand what it’s trying to do, and it is pretty textbook Shoujo, but I mostly felt bored watching this show. The fault lies entirely on me though, because **I think I’m honestly just too old now to appreciate an anime that is clearly geared towards preteen viewers.** The situations in the stories are something a preteen can understand, but I mostly just look at it with indifference. **I’m ready to point out the reasons why this show is good though**, but I’m honestly not affected by this Shoujo anime. This is a good reason why being TPAB sucks. Some of the things you enjoyed will eventually be ruined the more you’re exposed to so many sh*t. I’m still a fan of the Shoujo scope though, and this anime has some great ones that made me giddy as well.
Oh gawd, I’m too old to be enjoying this.
Anyways, the show is about a guy and a girl reconnecting in high school. Back in middle school, they kinda liked each other and the flashback is showered with rose colored nostalgia. It’s cute, but things are different now. The girl has resented being beautiful and now intentionally embraced a slacker lifestyle. The boy, on the other hand, has become this handsome emo guy that is cold towards everyone. When the girl saw him though, she recalls the sweet moment they have in the past and immediately rushed towards him. He is a completely different person now though, and he urges the girl to forget him because he isn’t the boy that she fell in love with. The girl is completely shocked at how much the guy changed, and she decided to try and get the boy she loved back. The past is in the past though, and change is a fact of life. The girl believes that love could save the boy though, and she’ll do her best to love him all over again.
The premise is really solid. I love how the show presents two sets of characters. We have the present characters as they are now: the girl, Futaba Yoshioka, who has put up a ruse where she’ll be undesirable and boys won’t find her cute, and the boy, Kou Mabuchi, who is this distant cold emo guy with his own façade hiding his troubled self. We also have their past selves: the girl being a cute middle schooler completely caught up in admiring this boy, and the boy, a timid fragile guy. **The show would often present the contrast between the two sets of characters, because their love story is a really interesting one.** They met in an old shrine one rainy day, and they reconnected in the same place. As the past characters are further fleshed out, we discover the various circumstances that made Yoshioka fall in love with Mabuchi. This plays in contrast to the relationship they have now, which is completely different. **The past is all innocent and rose-colored, but the present is more flirty and a bit hard to gauge.** The idea that these two characters, that both underwent drastic changes in their life, suddenly reconnecting and falling in love again is just a really cute premise to play with.
I especially love the way they interact with each other. It just feels natural, I guess. The boy loves teasing the girl, and the girl would blush whenever she gazes intently at the boy. **I love the way the girl also worships the boy in the most curious way.** There’s a line about her smelling the back of his head, and she loved the smell of his shampoo. The entire thing has a layer of creepiness to it, but it’s also surprisingly romantic. The story is told in the girl’s point of view, so it’s really interesting how she notices these small things simply because she is really in love with the guy. It’s not just creepy, but also a bit sexual. **This is actually one of the reasons why their interactions are so cute: there’s a layer of unconfirmed sexual tension between them.** Despite the girl intently gazing at the boy, worshipping his face and commenting at how gentle his f*cking eye lashes are, the boy doesn’t seem to mind and he actually enjoys how the girl just seemingly can’t get enough of him. The way the girl also worships the guy is actually a great way to connect with the characters. I seriously cannot like these characters, story-wise, but the show makes up for it with some wonderful romantic scenes between our main couple.
I’m actually amazed at how the author, Io Sakisaka, presented the romance. It just feels different from your typical Shoujo story, but it also feels familiar. We have a girl that openly admires and worships a hot piece of toast, and we have a boy that seemingly enjoys what the girl is doing. It’s childish, but also mature. It’s cute, but also sexually charged. It’s a typical high school love story, but it also feels different from what you’re used to. **Io Sakisaka somehow perfectly captures the idolization process most preteen girls do with their crushes**, and I’m amazed at how entertainingly fun it is to see the girl just go through her “in-love” phase. She doesn’t really want sex, she doesn’t actually worship the guy like a gawd and she also can’t bring herself to actually like him. It’s complex, but it’s something I’m sure preteen girls can actually relate to. I know that because I’ve been tutoring preteen girls for the past two months, and I always make sure I connect with my students. The process includes getting to know their hobbies and interests, and this opens a nonstop barrage of talks about their crushes. Also Kpop, and **that’s the mind of preteen girl. It’s constantly on, and it’s a bit naïve.** The author seemingly captured this curious naivety and presented a preteen main character most readers can actually relate to. But this can also be a bad thing.
Preteens like to brood on the most stupid things, and they like to create drama out of nothing. This is the impression I got from our main girl as well. She likes to overcomplicate things that don’t really mean any gawd damn thing. In the story, the reason why the boy and girl got out of touch is because the girl screamed out that “she hates all men” and the boy overheard her. Rather than actually analyze the situation and take the statement into a different context, the boy got all emo and the girl never did anything about it. Really? **From a preteen’s point of view, I guess it does make sense that misunderstandings can’t be easily corrected since they aren’t that experienced with the world.** But, really? The girl blurted out a statement from out of nowhere and conflict is suddenly established? It’s really childish but, again, consider the target demographic. But, this really took me away from the story itself. Shoujo is a fun genre because it’s actually high school soap opera where things are exaggerated and feelings are over explained, characters go from guarded to vulnerable, and conflict is juicy. Creating a problem out of something someone blurted out in a flashback doesn’t really seem right to me. This sets the tone for the rest of the story, and it really feels problematic to me.
I remember one episode is focused entirely on the girl thinking nonstop if the guy has a crush on one of her friends. Literally the entire episode, she just monologues about something she saw that concerned her deeply. There’s another episode where the girl is conflicted if she should confess to the guy or not. It would’ve been cute, but she kept talking about it as if the situation is life or death. Its preteen problems, so I do understand. As a jaded adult though, I really don’t think you should spend too much time on simple stupid matters like this. Preteen problems like this actually stall the romantic development a lot, and the pacing of the story is often heavily altered just to cater to them. **In the span of the entire series, love is never actually a thing between the two characters.** Love is not part of their interaction. **I think the correct term for their relationship is “admiration”,** because they really just like each other from the cool things they know about the other growing up. So the great romantic interactions between them don’t really mean anything in the long run. It’s two preteen kids fooling around with no real consequences to their actions. Again, for preteens, this is an ideal situation for them. Story-wise though, they should be able to convince the audience that they actually love each other. This is done by actually having a coherent story where their love for each other is tested. **Believe it or not, Nisekoi actually has a much better presentation of love in its story** and I f*cking hated that anime. To be fair, I do think “admiration” is the intended goal of the author. The story of the manga is really long and a bit tedious, but I think the entire twelve episodes of the anime only covered a small chunk of the story. It only covers the girl’s side of the story, and the girl truly does admire the boy with all her heart.
The anime is missing the boy’s point of view, and his contributions to the love story are actually not featured. I think the last episode only focused on him actually reciprocating the girl’s admiration of him. He is distant and cold in the anime, and he never really bother to show the girl that he does like her too. The girl would chase after him, cry for him, and she even tries to be a part of his life. The boy, on the other hand, doesn’t really care. He shuts everyone out, and it looks like he is only leading the girl on. **This is why “love” is never really established, because the boy never really showed the girl or the audience that he loves her too.** My sister read the manga, and she explained that the rest of the story actually follows the boy’s point of view next. **Spoilers ahead, I guess.** I’m reviewing the anime though, and it’s safe to assume there’ll be no second season after being released two years ago. Anyways, the anime featured the girl chasing the guy, but it comes to a point where she had enough of it. She begins to have a relationship with a different guy, and this prompted the boy to chase after the girl now. The story actually entered familiar Shoujo fairs after the anime ends, and it’s a bit frustrating. I wanted high school soap opera, and I got preteen problems instead. Okay, it is a unique anime experience. This is a one of kind Shoujo anime that focused on a very familiar kind of admiration, and I’m sure it resonated with a lot of people. If the story served unsatisfying, there is still pay off in the endless amount of Shoujo scope this anime provides. Like this:
And this:
And this:
I don’t like this anime personally, but I am still a sucker for a good ol’ fashion Shoujo scope. Just look at those unspoken scenes full of things that’ll make you fangirl. **Damn you , Shoujo. I can’t quit you.**
Anyways, the whole argument that this anime only covers the introductory phase of the story is even more evident when the other plot point in the story involves the main couple befriending three other people. The show would then showcase their time bonding and growing as a group of like-minded people. This actually felt like annoying padding to bulk up the story, and it’s frustrating considering the romance isn’t developing properly while we’re presented fluff like this. If the entire anime is an introduction to the overall story though, then this one also makes sense because, later in the story, these characters would play a bigger role down the line. **One of the friends is annoyingly portrayed as an innocent timid person, and the entire thing makes sense when you consider she gets in a serious relationship AFTER the anime ends.** According to my sister, it’s similar to the main couple’s story but more direct. Another one of their friends also has their own subplot romance, and it’s actually a shame that we never see it develop. She has a big crush on a teacher, but the best character in the show likes her too. The anime ends with the love triangle officially confirmed, and the romantic subplot commences AFTER the anime ends. In fact, the guy that our main character girl is supposed to be in a relationship with is introduced in the last episode setting up the “boy chasing girl” story AFTER the anime ends. Like most introduction phases of a story, the anime really only introduces us to the characters, their motivations, their potential romantic exploits and nothing more. **In typical Shoujo fashion, the experience will only be complete when you are forced by the anime to read the manga afterwards.**
It’s annoying to know the anime doesn’t really delve into the story much, and it really is only intended as an effective mangalure, but I still understand this show fully. **We’re in a great transition phase where new audiences are being introduced to Shoujo anime, and this show is keeping up with the tradition of introducing young audiences to read the manga afterwards.** Fruits Basket did that to me, but I only got far as the third chapter because reading in any form bores me. Ironically, I write long reviews that I force others to read. I also appreciate the wonderful ball of angst the story presents as it gives us an insight into the mind of a preteen girl. **There’s a lot to really enjoy in this anime, but they’re not really all that substantial in the long run.** Story-wise, nothing is really accomplished. Romance-wise, the show only teased good moments but the love story never really develops. In terms of character development, the show is one sided on it as the guy’s tragic backstory is not explored properly making it a really incomplete experience. I really wanted to understand the guy and his emo personality, and I fully understand that revealing his tragic backstory will make that happen. The show does deliver the tragic backstory, but you’ll really only appreciate the guy and his train of thoughts AFTER the anime ends and you continue with the manga. It’s a really weird experience. It’s both good and beneficial, but also bad and unsatisfying for me.
The characters are a mix of good and bad as well. If you’re a preteen, then you’ll really understand the girl. If you’re not, then it’s really hard to appreciate all her thoughts and actions. Some of them come off as overly dramatic and exaggerated, and this can ruin the anime for some people. It does for me, and it’s hard to connect with her. Unless you’re someone that worships her crush as well, then jaded adults that think of the world as a giant joke won’t really understand where she is coming from. It takes effort to like her, and this might be a challenge for some people. **The girl does grow on you though, because the show revolves around her.** **The guy is someone that takes real great amount of effort to actually like.** Ok, he’s hot but he’s also bland. I understand his stereotype. He is the stoic cool type that most girls think they can tame, but they don’t realize that the guy is just on a different level entirely. With his handsome face, I think most people can also get over how one dimensional the character is. I, personally, do not like him. I mostly hate this:
What kind of guy covers his face when he’s feeling shy? Most guys don’t even show it, so they don’t need to cover it up. He’s blatantly doing that though, because the target demographic will absolutely adore it. **Yes, if you want a girl to like you, cover your face with your hands and act like a shy timid b*tch.** That’ll get panties dropping. In the story as well, he doesn’t really contribute much. It comes to a point where you’ll feel bad to the girl trying to reach out to him. The guy would often just play with her emotions, and he doesn’t realize that he’s being a jerk by putting up a friendly façade around her. I guess it’s a great motivation to see him chase after the girl when he realizes how much she means to him. Character-wise, he’s really hot and cold. One moment he’ll appreciate the girl intervening with his life but he’ll be annoyed the next. He’ll find the girl comforting, but he’s also trying to avoid him. He likes the girl, but he also doesn’t like her. These things are all adequately explain AFTER the anime ends, but he only just come off as a jerk in the show. He’s a handsome jerk though, so I guess it evens out. **One thing I keep saying to myself though is that I bet his character would look great in a live action film.** The intentionally emo handsome jerk sounds like it’s meant for a JDrama, and I wonder how he’d look in real life. Oh sh*t, there’s a live action movie already.
The trailer interestingly suggests that everything that happens AFTER the anime is actually in the live action movie. The story looks incredibly rushed though, but that’s fine. **In the trailer, the guy that kisses the girl is not our stoic emo** so I might download and review this just for the hell of it. Oh, and I still hate the stoic handsome emo even in live action form. The actors nail the characters though, so this looks fun.
I could talk about the other characters, but I think they’re fun discovering them for yourself. I also feel lazy describing them, so just see them for yourselves. I do have one character I absolutely like though. In a sea of preteen angsts and subtle sexual energies, there is one character that I can actually relate to. There’s a blonde guy in their circle of friends, and he is actually the most level headed person in the anime. He is forward and honest with his emotions, and it’s a breath of fresh air considering how guarded the rest of the characters are. He is actually the most stereotypical character in the show, but I gravitate to him mostly because he feels familiar. He isn’t sappy like the other characters, and he is satisfied just admiring his crush from afar for now. I hope he gets his girl in the end.
When I first saw the anime, the visuals reminded me of JC Staff. I actually thought JC Staff did this anime, but it’s actually presented by Production IG. This is incredible, because they don’t do a lot of romance. They also have this preferred high quality animation that makes them recognizable. **The animation and quality of this anime reminds me of Bokura ga Ita, a JC Staff classic.** In fact, Bokura ga Ita also only covers the introduction phase of the manga and it’s about angsty teenagers you cannot relate with as well. **I think Production IG actually went through the effort to deliver nostalgia with Ao Haru Ride.** This is interesting, because they didn’t really need to do that. They’re a rich company, so they can just half ass this sh*t. **But this is why I love Production IG, they don’t go half-way with anything.** They actually made sure this anime resembles the Shoujo of the past, but they know full well that newer audiences will watch this. **They care so much for their audience that they wanted to deliver the best experience for them.** I love that. Production IG respects their audience, and you can clearly tell people behind this anime had the audience in mind first. Production IG actually values their audience, and I love how they break away from their norm. They don’t do a lot of romance, but they don’t shy form it as well. Given a chance to present a classic Shoujo experience, Production IG is ready to jump on the bandwagon. KyoAni, take notes. I hate KyoAni. Alright, the obligatory KyoAni jab is in this review. I can rest now. This anime is directed by Ai Yoshimura. She directed OreGairu, and I notice that she really doesn’t rush her adaptations. I like that. She mostly done episode directorial before OreGairu, but you can tell this director has talent. She certainly has her own way of making the original source special, because she’s able to make the great scenes of the manga stand out in a magical way. I trust this director, and I hope she gives us more anime in the future.
**Sight and Sound**
Io Sakisaka draws traditional Shoujo. She emphasizes on the faces, she draws light panels and the pages are filled with dialogue. There are also the Shoujo eyes nicely given to the main girl’s face. Shoujo is an expressive manga, so you really need to punctuate certain scenes using facial expressions. Character design-wise, Io Sakisaka presented the characters nicely. The atmosphere of the Shoujo certainly makes all the characters a lot more feminine, but it’s pretty similar to the anime’s design. We have a dreamy guy next to a short girl with cute features. **One thing to note about the manga is how Io draws the romantic scenes. Every time the main couple touches each other, the manga presents it in such a steamy and giddy fashion that you’re easily caught up in it.** She tells a story frightening well, and even the slightest tug of the guy’s sleeve can make you giddy. Anyways, the character designs don’t really stand out that much, but they are still pretty good. The proportions are great, the facial designs are on point and the design isn’t uniform. Each character is unique in their own special way, but the design is on point to make sure Shoujo is properly presented.
The animation is pretty subpar compared to Production IG’s standard, but I think it was on purpose. The movements are still smooth, but you can tell the quality just isn’t that good. Again, this is intentional since Production IG is going for a nostalgic Shoujo look typical of what JC Staff would present. Think of Kimi ni Todoke as a reference to the kind of style Production IG is trying to capture**. This also means that the studio is actually giving nod to JC Staff and its influence in Shoujo anime.** Total respect, Production IG. The movements are pretty minimal, but it’s enough to deliver the scene. The facial reactions are on point and the romantic moments are nicely presented, but they don’t really stand out animation wise. It’s just enough to tell the story without distracting the focus away from it. **I do love how the director captures the panels of the manga.** The camera angles are wonderful as it is part of telling a story. Establishing shots are rarely done, and the camera moves with the characters. If they’re in a room, the camera would scan the entire area building up the romantic moment of it all. When the main couple starts touching each other, the camera work really goes all out. Close up shots and different angles of the characters hugging are layered one after the other as a sweet romantic music would soon follow. It’s incredible. Points for the director for capturing the vision the author intended in her story.
The anime’s OP is “Sekai wa Koi ni Ochiteiru” by CHiCO with HoneyWorks. I love this opening song, and I doubly love it considering HoneyWorks is part of it. They do nico nico douga songs though, just like JIN the creator of Mekakucity Actors, and it’s nice to see them finally be recognized for their talents. The song is bright and really catchy. **It features the point of view of the girl mainly, as she tries to get close to the boy.** It’s a really cute song, and the singer’s voice makes it all the more special. **I also love how it captures the complicated love presented in the anime, as the lyrics also suggest more of an admiration than actual love.** The preteen connotations of the anime is hammered to us in the OP sequence as it features stars, a lip gloss and nail polish splattered during random transitions. It’s not really subtle, but it confirms the target demographic of the anime. The sequence basically just introduces the characters, and nothing happens in it as well just like the anime itself. It does feature the cute interaction between the main couple that is honestly the best thing in this show.
The anime’s ED is “Blue” by Fujifabric. I love this song as well. The singer’s voice certainly makes it special, and it’s nostalgic for me. **The lyrics feature someone totally in love with another, and the singer’s voice is so familiar that it conjures up happy memories of me watching Kimi ni Todoke.** The chorus had me in tears when I first heard it, but they oddly flashed the stoic handsome emo at the same time the chorus played and it ruined it for me. Production IG never wants you to forget the studio that made this, and they displayed their awesomeness in the ED sequence. It features the main couple and their friends in a walk cycle. If you’ve ever animated sh*t, then you know walk cycles are a nightmare. You know who can do that sh*t in their sleep? Production IG. **The ED is actually a great throwback to a JC Staff romance anime, and it’s like a fan video made by Production IG.** I love it.
**Overall Score**
7/10 *“It’s a wonderful Shoujo anime sharing the same strengths and weaknesses of other great Shoujo anime that preceded it.”*
As I said, this anime is both unique and familiar. The preteen angle is unique, but the romantic moments feel familiar. I’m sure a lot of people will enjoy the overly sweet love story presented in this anime. It’s a forgettable show, but the anime experience is still worthwhile. It is still a mangalure though, but I think that’s really part of the Shoujo experience. If you love romance anime, then you’ll like this one. I consider this a great gateway anime to the Shoujo genre, so people unfamiliar to anime can easily like this show. If you like stoic handsome emo in your anime, then you’ll like the male lead as well. I recommend it.
Kanojo, Okarishimasu Chapter 155
**Warning Contain Spoilers**
"Kanojo, Okarishimasu is a manga about a boy, Kinoshita Kazuya, who dumped by his girlfriend and out of his depression due to break up, he rented Mizuhara Chizuru from an app called "Diamond" which gives you a Rental girlfriend for an exchange of money. He then started the Rental relationship with Mizuhara."
So, the latest manga chapter just came out from the last chapter entitled "The Girlfriend and the Resolved", the last chapter is about Sumi (the friend of Chizuru which is also a rental kanojo) giving advice to Kazuya on how he would manage to cope up and help Chizuru from the ache of her disease Grandma. Chizuru seem so fine but we know that being left alone with no one to say how hurt it was is so sad. In this situation Kazuya seeks help with Sumi to better understand the situation and help Chizuru. The Chapter goes on with our cute Sumi-chan(My Waifu hahaha) willingness to help the both. So in the end sumi want to bring Kazuya on a Beach(Yeyyy Umi)!
In the latest Chapter which is 155, the story goes on with the two goes to beach. So in this chapter, Many People hated the MC of the story because he is a simp. He doesn't have resolved to make a make to the girl that he want and continue to simp even though he know that there is someone hurt from what he is doing. So the story goes with nothing special but just a cliffhanger.
What our Cute and Silent Sumi is going to shout! Hahaha be sure to read the latest chapter of this manga and standby on my article for the next release! Thank you for the support!
My Top 10 Best Romance Animes on the List
There are no obstacles that love can’t overcome, it is possible that one of the favorite themes for many stories is romance. Because we must admit that there is nothing more compelling than a well-told love story.
Whether it’s an innocent love, a legendary love, or just an unrequited love, the anime manages to convey some of the best romance stories in just a few chapters. Comic situations, moments of tension and even scenes of jealousy, all this is very well portrayed in today’s count, **the top 10 romance animes**.
10. Inu x Boku SS
Src:http://www.crunchyroll.com/inu-x-boku-secret-service/episode-8-tea-and-distance-590052
Episodes: 12
Release: January 2012 to March 2012
It is said that love is surrender, but perhaps the male protagonist of this anime takes this saying very far. **Ririchiyo** has grown up with a surly and arrogant character, a product of the isolation and overprotection she receives as the successor to her clan. In an attempt to be alone she decides to move to Ayakashi Mansion, but her attempt is frustrated when **Soushi Miketsukami**, her secret agent, refuses to leave her alone. Now he will have to learn to live with Miketsukami’s constant harassment and learn where so much devotion to her is born from.
For lovers of romance between supernatural beings this is undoubtedly the series they were looking for. A love that portrays personal growth and again lets us see that the depth of feelings is not determined by anything or anyone but the heart itself. Without a doubt a beautiful anime that knows how to portray the difficulties of a romance when you can’t accept yourself, perhaps that is its greatest contribution: “although you hate yourself… I love you”.
9. Ore Monogatari!!
*Sentai*
Episodes: 24
Release: April 2015 to September 2015
**Takeo** is a high school boy quite accustomed to rejection, basically because he is not very graceful especially when compared to his best friend **Sunakawa**. In spite of everything he has a very noble heart and always thinks about others, which is why he jumped without thinking to the help of **Rinko Yamato** who was being harassed in the subway. This is how the love story of these two begins, with a little misunderstanding as Takeo thought Rinko fell in love with Sunakawa like the rest of the girls.
**Ore Monogatari!!** is not the typical Shojo to which we are used to, it is true that it has an excess of pink moments, but what makes this romance something special is the fact that it forgets the appearance barriers to which we are so accustomed. This is the romance that we should all see, because it reminds us that although love enters through the eyes, what really matters is inside.
8. Toradora
*crunchyroll* http://www.crunchyroll.com/toradora/episode-14-palm-top-tiger-of-happiness-656819
Episodes: 25
Release: October 2008 to March 2009
This is the story of the most feared pair, **Ryuuji and Taiga**, both known to be the most feared in their school, according to rumors it is better never to cross paths with either or things could end badly. But far from what rumors tell us, the reality is that Ryuuji is a very attentive boy and Taiga is just a little tsundere. The fate of this pair would cross when both decide to form an alliance to conquer the person with whom they are in love, but as in any romance, things don’t always end as planned.
If romances adorned with a few plot twists are your thing, it’s safe to assume that this story is for you. Toradora is an **anime of romance** that far from being the typical cliché “boy meets girl”, what it does is to develop a whole relationship between the protagonists so that only thus they arrive at the conclusion which from the beginning we all knew, that they are the one for the other. This anime is a very complete romance, because it takes time to surface the feelings, so that when they are at the limit, they never feel forced, there is a reason for everything.
7. Nagi no Asukara
*crunchyroll* http://www.crunchyroll.com/nagi-no-asukara-nagi-asu-a-lull-in-the-sea/episode-1-in-between-the-sea-and-the-land-645343
Episodes: 26
Release: October 2013 to April 2014
In the past, humanity lived at the bottom of the ocean, yet many humans longed for the surface and moved to it, thus causing a separation between those who lived on the surface and those who live in the sea. This story takes place after the school closes in the ocean, so four friends are forced to attend a school on the surface. The series revolves around the development of their lives in their new environment and the new relationships that arise between them and those on the surface.
When we talk about romances, there is no way we can leave out the love triangles, and there is no anime better equipped on that subject than Nagi no Asukara. The story this anime tells us begins and ends with destiny, more precisely with an encounter destined to change everything, ourselves, our environment and our relationships. When **Manaka** met **Tsumugu**, **Hikari** assumed that was the end for them, but he never imagined that their story was still being written.
6. Shigatsu wa Kimi No Uso
*crunchyroll* http://www.crunchyroll.com/your-lie-in-april/episode-3-inside-spring-663853
Episodes: 22
Release: October 2014 to March 2015
**Kousei Arima** is a musician who has abandoned music, thanks to some traumas in his past he has ceased to be able to listen to his own piano, unable to play and without being able to give up completely, Kousei leads a monochromatic life. But his whole world would change when **Kaori Miyazono** enters his life, she is a very temperamental violinist, everything she does is dazzling for Kousei so he inevitably falls for her. For his bad fortune she is interested in his best friend **Watari**, so our pianist will have to be just the B friend. Although fate and the passage of time told another story.
Sometimes the **best love story** is the one that can’t be, or at least this is what Shigatsu wa Kimi No Uso lets us see. Loving someone sometimes means supporting them and helping them face new challenges, and this is exactly what Kaori does for Kousei throughout the series. This anime is a perfect example that it is not necessary to confess and start a relationship for the feeling of love to be transmitted, sometimes you just need unconditional and unwavering support.
5. Kaichou wa Maid-sama
*Sentai*
Episodes: 26
Release: April 2010 to September 2010
Sekai Secondary School has recently become a mixed school, yet its male population still far outnumbers the female. In the midst of this male-dominated “world”, a girl has managed to stand as the highest student authority, **Misaki** is the president of the student council and it is clear to her that she must reform this school to make it more habitable for girls. She also has a secret, despite her hatred of men, she actually has a part-time job like Maid. What happens when the most popular boy, Usui Takumi, discovers her secret?
Nothing spices up romance better than the complicity of sharing a secret. That is exactly the formula that has given great success to this school romance, between a tough girl who hates men and a boy who seems to sweat perfection. Misaki and Usui are very different from each other but at the same time they are very similar, she has determined to pull through on her own but he just can’t leave her alone. Their relationship was born and grew thanks to the secret that both began to protect and in the end, that managed to forge a bond difficult to overcome.
4. Akagami no Shirayuki-hime
*amazon jp* https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B018FG2SVY
Episodes: 12
Release: July 2015 to September 2015
**Shirayuki** is an independent and very intelligent young woman, destiny would take her to **Zen**, a bold and very charming young man. The chemistry between them didn’t take long to appear, but before they can be together there are some obstacles that they must overcome, the first and most important is that Zen is a prince, so his relationship with Shirayuki must go through several tests before it is consolidated and recognized by others.
This is the story of a prince who fell in love with a girl who doesn’t need to be rescued. This list could not miss a romance involving a prince and a commoner, a classic of the best love stories. There isn’t a girl who hasn’t ever wanted to find her prince charming, and this is the story of a girl who although she never wanted it, found him, fell in love and began to plan a future with him, but a future that she herself would build and not one that would be given to her.
3. Lovely Complex
*Buy now on amazon* https://amzn.to/2Um5yFF
Episodes: 24
Release: April 2007 to September 2007
**Risa Koisumi** and **Atsushi Ootani** are two partners who are always fighting like cats and dogs, the reason is simple, due to their remarkable difference in stature they both have earned the reputation of being a comedy duo. The truth is that both are absolutely compatible, whether in tastes or personality, they have an affinity difficult to match, it is not strange that having so much in common love will begin to appear. However, things are not so simple, and the pronounced difference in stature is a conflict difficult to resolve and an obstacle to start a relationship.
Lovely Complex is an extremely complete romantic anime, as it portrays the story of a love that has to go through a whole process of acceptance before consolidating. It could be said that this anime demonstrates the incredible willpower of a girl in love, because regardless of prejudice or repeated rejection, when a girl loves someone her heart will not falter and will head towards that person. This anime is very funny but also has some bitter moments, no doubt is just enough to make it one of the best **romance animes**.
2. Mahoutsukai no Yome
*crunchyroll* http://www.crunchyroll.com/the-ancient-magus-bride/episode-5-love-conquers-all-749407
Episodes: 24
Release: October 2017 to March 2018
**Chise** has lived a miserable existence, all because of a gift that has only brought her suffering, tired of everything she decides to give her life to anyone who is interested in her. This is how she ends up being auctioned off and bought by **Elias Ainsworth**, a mysterious magician who, instead of having a head, has a ram’s skull, he bought her in order to make her his apprentice, but he also intends to make her his wife.
The second place on this list is taken by an anime that you will fall in love with from the first chapter, simply because it is an emotional roller coaster. The romance is present from the first episode and is never relegated, it not only shows us the romance of the protagonists, which passes through a whole journey that goes from acceptance to self-love and finally to the love they can give, there are also winks to more romance stories that nurture the development of the story. Without a doubt a romance anime that deserves its place, because it shows us that love must first be born towards us and only in this way will we be able to love others.
1. Kimi ni Todoke
*crunchyroll* http://www.crunchyroll.com/kimi-ni-todoke-from-me-to-you/episode-17-a-holiday-612613
Episodes: 25
Release: October 2009 to March 2010
**Sawako** is a girl with a strong resemblance to the character “**Sadako**” from the movie The Ring, because of her appearance there are many rumors about her, like she is able to curse people or that she can see ghosts. The truth is that she is just a simple girl who enjoys helping others, a characteristic that doesn’t go unnoticed by **Kazehaya**, the most popular boy in her school. Far from being guided by rumours, he is only interested in what he sees with his own eyes, and what he sees is a girl who is always giving her best, and that ends up making him fall in love but considering how socially withdrawn Sawako is, the possibility of starting a relationship seems very distant.
At the **top of this list is Kimi ni Todoke**, an **anime of romance** that will capture your heart from the beginning. This story maintains the always successful formula of the popular boy who falls in love with the least popular girl in school, a formula he knows how to handle perfectly. The series not only portrays the bittersweetness of the first love, but also demonstrates the strength it gives us to change ourselves and those around us. Sawako lacked confidence in herself but falling in love helped her gain confidence, made friends and even got a rival. No doubt it is an anime that will make you sigh and believe in the sweet innocence of love.
Manga/Manhwa/Manhua/Light Novel/Anime
Are you also the one who loves reading and watching stories?
I Like to read any forms of story that catch my eye. Are you also?
Let's differentiate what is written in my title. First is the **Manga**, manga is the most popular in most of the country that shows not only textual interpretation but also visual so that the emotion, the setting, the character and story line can be easily depicted by its readers. Manga Comes in Japan and mostly focus on Shonen(A Boy) or Shoujo(A Girl) story, Historical Story, or Fantasy story.
Second is **Manhwa** was the one that comes from Korea most likely to counterpart the manga. **Manhwa** has a different Characteristics between manga. **Manhwa** is read in the same direction as English books, horizontally and from left to right, because hangul is normally written and read horizontally, although it can also be written and read vertically from right to left, top to bottom. Manhwa is colorful compare to manga and same with the **Manhua.** While **Manhua** thirdly has the same look with Manga but Same reading with **Manhwa. Manhua** is also a counterpart of Manga which made in China. I think the **Manhua** is the combination of the two. Manhua focuses on Martial Arts and Cultivation story with the touch of drama and romance but sometime the drama is so Mehh.
The **Light Novel** is almost the source of some **Manga/Manwha/Manhua/Anime**. **Light Novel** is just a textual interpretation of the story of writers who wants to be depicted by the readers.
**Anime** is the one whose will known worldwide. **Anime** is the Adaptation of the latter mentioned. It's a visual adaptation with the CG and Sounds.
In this pandemic this are the one who relieves my stresses and boredome. You, what's yours? Comment down below!
By the way, if you are in to it also. What genre of story do you love the Most? Me? I think romance with a touch of drama and Slice of Life. Also I do Like fantasy story with the touch of Isekai Hahaha.
