I've seen many people (especially male) that hate shoujo/josei manga just because it cliche, have stupid shallow story, big eyes, and annoying female lead. While some of shoujo suck, there's another awesome shoujo that don't involve romance 90%, like:
1.  Action : X/1999, Tokyo Crazy Paradise. (Heck, there's even gore!)
2.  Drama & supernatural: Natsume Yuujinchou, Makai Ouji, anything by CLAMP.
3.  Mystery, horror & psychological : Illegenes, Conductor, Ludwig Kakumei, or anything made by Yuki Kaori, etc.

So? Please hate the series because the story or character as long as not the demographic.
Sometimes, I envy shonen. Shonen have very large fanbase and genre. Action, adventure, mystery, and even romance! Why almost 90% manga targeted for girl is romance, and slice of life? I want more variation like mystery and horror story. I also want more shoujo anime like Natsume Yuujincho and K that don't solely focus on romance.

N.B: Yes, Project K is shoujo. The manga is serialized at shoujo magazine.

Hah? Nggak salah, nih? Bukannya BL itu rata-rata fluff atau angst? Kalaupun ada crime, paling cuma sebagai sampingan. Kalau suka dengan yakuza, detektif, misteri pembunuhan ditambah homosexual, baca:

S series by Aida Saki.

Warning: Spoiler! This rant bellow contain spoiler of volume 4 S series, mature stuff like homosexual, rape and crime. Saya sarankan kalian baca dulu novelnya. Sudah baca atau tidak berminat baca sehingga masa bodoh dengan spoiler? Silakan klik read more.

Tadi itu cuma saya pilih 3 tindakannya yang paling ekstrim. Tokoh2 seperti Shiba dan Munechika sendiri juga punya masa lalu yang kelam sekaligus menarik. personal, saya suka novel ini. Penuh twist yang oke.

Lagi dilema.

Bulan Agustus tanggal 17 - 27, saya sekeluarga bakal tur ke luar negeri. Masalahnya, saya masuk kuliah tgl 27. Itu artinya saya bakal bolos sehari. Hari Senin sendiri mata kuliah 2D desain dimana: masuk, menggambar, lalu dikumpulin hari itu juga. itu artinya, kalo saya gak masuk, sama aja ngumpulin tugasnya bakal telat.Di sisi lain, saya juga males ke luar negeri. Mau nggak ikut, gak ada siapa-siapa di rumah. Pembantu pada pulang kampung. Ntar yg masak dan nyapu selama sepuluh hari siapa?

Menurut kalian gimana? Apa ikut tur dengan resiko bolos kuliah sehari atau nggak usah ikut tur tapi di rumah sendiri 10 hari?

"Adults in our world end up doing unpleasant things and try to convince themself that 'that's life' and that things couldn't be otherwise, so they continue living in misery. The worst though is that they try to impose their sad lifestyle on their children as well. Young people who have dreams of becoming something out of the ordinary are faced with contempt. Adults think that happiness lies in making good money and by having a stable job. BUT is it better to do something half-heartedly, "destroying" in the process both yourself and the others whom you work with? As for the stability factor, the unwanted truth is that stability doesn't belong to the present, much more in the future."

So much win!!

Long time no see. Today, I lost my favorite novel. Dunno where to search. Ugh >< And it's not cheap either (IDR 33.000)
And finally I watch Kuroko no Basket ep 1. Yes, Kuroko no Basket is typical sport shonen, BUT don't have typical character. The main character here, Kuroko is neither prodigy or newbie.


Do you like cute deadpan snarker?

Stolen from here. Basically it's 'something' that make you want to check some movie/comic/novel. Ex : you want to watch movie A because your favorite actor plays the main character or you adore the director or you interested with the setting. Mine is:



Fairy Tales
Exception: none so far. I like all fairy tales, even it's cliche and have  happy ending just like Disney movies. But I prefer dark one.
Favorite: Tangled - Disney, Ludwig Revolution - Kaori Yuki (She make evil Snow White!), Covered in Cinders
