Jasmine and I were at the bookstore again over the weekend and we spotted a book that we wished we had enough money to buy. It’s all about how to draw anime and manga chibi characters. The books is very complete, with instructions on front view, side views, various chibi expressions, fantasy chibi, monster chibis, super deformed chibis, and basically everything chibi out there.

So we were there flipping through the pages of the book, drooling. ^^

This whole week has been a marathon to finish the first 39 episode of Kyou Kara Maou (God Save Our King). I’m inserting it in between my japanese studies. Heck, it is part of my japanese studies! XD

It has some definite funny moments and was very lighthearted during the beginning but towards the 25th episode or so, things got heavy. Political and personal issues abound. There are also some very, very obvious hints of yaoi going on. Well, as can be expected from a series with full of bishounens. ^^ I already got my favorite pegged down.

I’m only halfway through the series with a whopping 79(?) episodes on its belt. I wonder what the rest of the episodes will reveal. Well, I guess I can’t really say I’m slacking off on my japanese language studies since I’m watching the entire series in the original Japanese dun.

がんばりますよ！

I suppose I have been quite closemouthed on the manga that Jasmine and I purchased together last December. I’m still waddling my way through translating them, though, so don’t expect a great deal of summaries and plot lines. I’m translating at a slower pace than a snail as it is. >.<

The first two mangas, Osuteki Da- Rin are mine, while the last two, Renri no Eda and Kagakushitsu no Ouji, are Jasmine’s. We’re translating these separately and hope to proofread for the other. Hope, being the operative word. XD
