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. ^^

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

My gosh! I got an email from the bookstore I usually buy from that the new and last installment in the Harry Potter series will be out on July 21, 2007. The title is named Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and I am actually wondering how the series will play out. The darker side has been unraveling since the fourth book, unlike the first three books which were definitely for children.
