Necromancer

This manga is about a Necromancer and a police girl.The Necromancer is a legendary,myth in this story and in real life.But in this one you can find a necromancer named Asutsuo,who can be found in the alley of slum street.He'll bring back your loved ones for a price.You have to make a contract with him with your soul.

When I first read that I thought something was going to wrong and that person can't get their soul back.Well,I was kind of right.It turns out that not only are you selling your soul to bring this person back to life,but for some cases,your soul kind of fuels how long they live so you can end up dying,too!Also,when Asutsuo uses his powers to bring a person back to life he takes their most deepest and strongest desire/emotion and twists it.So,if the victim's strongest emotion was love it would get twisted to obsession or dislike being twisted to pure hot hate.For most cases in this story things don't turn out so well.But,its no skin off his nose for he's just giving the customer what they asked for.

He has caused some major disturbances with his magic and that's when the police girl,Ricott, comes in.Ever since,she discovered where he's been hiding and what he can do she has been trying everything that she can to stop it.But,Ricott can't stop willing customers that are plagued by grief no matter how hard she tries.Even though,they wouldn't listen to her warnings she still tried to help them as much as she could.

I would have to admire Ricott's spunky and fiery nature and her passion for justice,but sometimes I thought she was in the way and needed to get off Asutsuo's case.I really liked Asutsuo's character, he was very quiet,smart and mysterious and I think he secretly liked having Ricott around because I think he likes seeing her reactions and seeing her struggle with helping his "customer". As I kept reading it I kept wondering how they were going to end the story and they ended it with a twist I didn't see coming.I'm not going to tell you what happened in the end,of course, but I do think you guys should give Necromancer a chance.

Franken Fran

Okay,when you first read the title to this manga you probably think it has something to do with frankenstein or at least its frankenstein theme, right? This would have to be more like Frankestein's world.

Its about a girl,who's not actually a girl but a teenage frankenstein who likes operating on people when her father is away.Its not like this girl hunts them down and straps them to a table or anything like that.All of her clients come right to her,willingly.Now,this girl will give you anything you want done but their seems to be something not quite right when she operates on you.For example, when a teenage girl wants a breast implants she makes them so huge that she can barely walk.When she's done with you something always goes wrong with them and sometimes it leads to their death or another person's death.What makes it even worse their are no refunds!

Besides,her constant experimentation with the living,her lif is a constant mystery.She lives in a hospital/house with a lot of other creepy looking experiments gone wrong,her father/creator has gone away somewhere and no one knows when he'll be back and lastly unexpected family members that we didn't even know she had keep appearing.The whole time I really wanted to see who and what kind of man her father was.

Another thing,why do people keep asking for her services,if they've heard that most of the time something goes wrong? Do they have death wishes? Or do they just think it probably won't happen to them? I can already tell that some of them don't even care about the consequences as long as they get what they want.That my friends is why this story is so interesting to read.

This manga was very creepy,gory and was shrouded in a lot of mystery. It kind of made me think about how people do all sorts of things to their bodies that they shouldn't be doing.This show kind of reflects on the kinds of consequences that could come with messing with your body.I was really creeped out by this anime and had trouble getting to the end because it got kind of too gory for my tastes.But,for a person that's totally into gore and mystery type animes should really read this.I think they would really get into it.

Hitman Reborn

I really like this classic and funny anime.Its about a low esteem boy named Tsuna who isn't good at anything but running away and being lazy.Then,one day a baby who calls himself Reborn comes to his house and says that he's going to train him to be the 10th generation Vongola family's boss.According,to Reborn his great,great, great grandfather was one of the earlier generation bosses who once lead the Vongola.Now with no other candidates left to take the role of leader they chose Tsuna.
 
Tsuna for,obvious, reasons doesn't want to run a crime family but finds he doesn't have much choice with Reborn.Reborn is one of their top assassins of the Vongola family.When I first saw Reborn I thought how could a baby talk in full sentences,use weapons and become a top rank assassin within the first year of his life.On the outside,he's a year old but on the inside he's 30 years old.This guy even had a couple of ex-girlfriends in the past, now someone tell me how that works!
 
Also,he doesn't seem to be the only baby assassin out there.For example ,Lambo, another baby assassin who is trying to constantly kill Reborn and likes wearing clothes that make him look like a cow.We'll see other powerful and weird baby and non-baby assassins in the show.Where do they get these baby assassins? Do they grow them in a lab somewhere?
 
Back to the story,Reborn has some very weird and dangerous methods for turning young Tsuna into the ultimate mafia boss.I thought this story was hilarious,violent and heart warming in its own way.Also,their seems to be a little of romance added to this story.Apparently,Tsuna is in love with Kyoko,the school's idol and because she is an idol he thought she was totally out of his league(which she was).But,ever since Reborn came into his life they have been getting closer and closer and hopefully one day they will end up together.
 
What I loved most about this story was watching Tsuna grow as a person.Also, I liked seeing how his 'family'grew in more ways than one and how their 'family bond' helped them get through a lot of tough situations.This was a very enjoyable anime to watch.This story is an anime and a manga,so I hope you enjoy Hitman Reborn.

Alive-The Final Evolution

Alive had just about everything in it.Fighting,superpowers,romance,mystery you name involved in this story.It starts out in modern day Japan where a virus that makes you commit suicide spreads across the country.Our main heroines,Taisuke Kano,Hirose and Megumi who have been friends since childhood soon become caught in the plague in an unexpected way.

When the virus finds their way to there beloved city,it didn't kill them but gave them awesome powers except for Megumi she never got infected.Hirose powers were so powerful and unexpected that he got arrested.He has the power to obliterate anything in his path.The only traces left behind to even prove that their was once something there was a giant hole that his power created.Now on to Taisuke,no one really knew what his power was at first but we all just assumed it was fire because that's what he kept conjuring up.Later,I thought their was more than that to his powers because he always found something extra that he could do.I'm not going to give away what his powers really are, your just going to have to read it to find out.

Anyway,after Hirose gets arrested he goes off the deep end by joining some weird cult of some kind with other"Power Users" like him as members.If that wasn't enough he also kidnaps Megumi because Hirose has had a crush on her since the beginning and thinks Taisuke is a threat.With both of his childhood friends gone to join some world shaking cult and not knowing what to do with his powers, he sets off to find them.

During his journey,he meets a lot of other Power Users ,some good some bad, and even some that aren't even power users at all.Most of the good ones join him in his quest while the others either stay out of it or go to the dark side.My all time favorite Power Users would have to be Nami who has the power to freeze water and turn it into a powerful weapon along with her awesome martial art skills that make her a force to be reckoned with.Yuta, a little kid with the power to isolate anything he wishes.His power was very convenient when they wanted to hide or shield themselves from  somebody.I also like his know it all attitude that makes him seem older than he really is.Last but not least,Yura a weird artist that kind of reminds me of a homeless person who has the power to create explosive soap bubbles.Weird power I know,but powerful.

There was another guy's power that I really liked which let him create a cute girl reaper that was invisible to everyone except him.How his power worked is if you made a promise to him and broke it then his reaper would kill you.There are a lot of other power users out there with other awesome powers and I think you all will enjoy watching the fight scenes and seeing how it all plays out in the end.This was a very enjoyable read and I think everyone would enjoy this very much.

Wild Ones

For starters,this is only a manga no anime shows has been made for this.I don't know why every manga doesn't have a anime show.Maybe their are certain qualifications that need to be met for a manga to be turned into a show or maybe the creators of each anime decide if they want to make it into a show or not.I don't know really know how it works,but what I do know is that I'm getting sidetracked on this subject when I should be talking about the show itself.

Wild Ones is about a girl named Sachie who has just lost her mother and with no other family members to take care of her, she has no choice but to live with her grandfather.Her grandfather has been keeping a distance from her and her mom since she was born.After,arriving at her grandfather's home she finally knew why.Her family,more like,her grandfather is the leader of a Yakuza gang.Not only that they all seem to live under the same roof!

They show her respect because they all expect her to take over the gang when their boss is gone.If things weren't overwhelming enough for her,she not only has to live with them,but also gains a handsome bodyguard named Rakuto.He is very kind,but can become very cold and scary which is why everyone calls him the ice prince.No one knows they are in a gang,but if anyone found out they would most likely get kicked out of school.That's the last thing Sachie wants to happen.

I like the gang she's involved in.When their not fighting other gangs or doing whatever else gang members do they seem like really nice,funny,even sometimes clumsy dudes.Whenever Sachie needs something they bend over backwards to make it happen for her and its not only because she's their boss's granddaughter,its because they like and respect more and more as time goes.I like the strong family bond that grows within the gang and Sachie's and her grandfather's relationship.What I also liked about this story was watching every member in the gang try to look friendly but end up looking even more menacing.Even,in little situations they scare the crap out of the other people by just looking at them.

As the story progress,of course,the two teens start falling for each other.But,with her being a boss Yakuza's granddaughter and him being her bodyguard it seemed impossible for them to be together.I think they shouldn't really care what the others thought and just be together already.But,then again this a gang and if they found out about the nature of their relationship,they'll most likely think its Rakuto's fault and kill him brutally while she watches.I don't think they would do that since they are all so close,but you never know.

I think Rakuto better make up his mind fast about being with her or not because if he doesn't I wouldn't be too surprised to find a new love interest come out the wood work and steal her heart.This manga has a strong family theme to it along with I think a Romeo and Juliet type romance along with a lot of violence,shouting,school life.Its really good I think anyone who likes gangs or romance would really like this story.

One Piece




Who hasn't seen or at least heard of One Piece? Its one of the most awesomest shows that I have ever seen.Its about a boy named Monkey D. Luffy,who wants to become the king of pirates.The only way for someone to do just that is to find the hidden treasure the previous Pirate King left behind called the One Piece.
 
How in the world is a normal teenage boy supposed to accomplish something like that,hm?Well,first off he isn't exactly normal.Our heroine,Luffy, seems to have swallowed a devil fruit which can give you amazing abilities.After,eating the devil fruit he gained the ability to become like rubber itself.I thought it was a weird power,but turns out to be a powerful one.In the anime,you'll see lots of other pirates that have eaten the devil fruit and witness their abilities as well.
 
He alone cannot find the treasure and take down all of the other competing pirates and that's when his crew comes in.He gains 5 unique characters to become part of his crew.Luffy's first recruit would have to be Zolo,a 3 bladed swordsman in which Luffy breaks him out of jail and tricks,I mean, convinces Zolo to join his crew.Next,is Nami, a navigator/theif who was an awesome pick pocket before she met Luffy and joined his crew.This girl has a fiery temper and has some serious fighting skills to back it up,this is a girl you don't want to piss off.
 
Next up,is Usopp who is a great inventor but a bit of a coward.He'll do or say anything to get out of trouble,but trouble was all he got when he joined Luffy's crew.His inventions and quick thinking skills helped them a lot,along with them getting some awesome new toys that he made later in the show.The fourth member of this strange crew is Sanji,a womanizing chef who will flirt with any beautiful girl that he sees but as developed a deep crush with Nami much to her dismay.Sanji's awesome cooking skills wasn't the only reason why he was picked to become a part of the pirate's crew.It turns out that he's an awesome fighter,but he only fights with his kicks.Even so,just him using his legs alone makes him a formidable opponent.Last but not least,we have the doctor of the crew.What makes Tony Chopper so special would be first of all,he isn't human.Their doctor is a talking reindeer.He can talk because he also ate the devil fruit and has also gained high intelligence which he has uses to make medicine.
 
This anime is hilarious,action packed,thrilling,adventurous,weird and unique in its own way.I very much enjoyed watching this show.Well,until they canceled it.Why,oh why,did they cancel One Piece? It didn't make sense to me of why they would suddenly cancel a popular anime like that.Hopefully,they will realize their mistake and put it back on the air for all of us to enjoy once again.I think anyone who likes anime would enjoy this show very much.
 
Thanks for Reading!

Crazy Girl Shin Bai

The storyline for this manga seemed interesting enough, so I decided to read it and I'm glad I did.The things that happen in this story are so hilarious but not so hilarious that you forget what the story is about.What I think they were going for was a love story filled with magic and magical creatures.But, I guess they thought that wasn't enough and decided to put a whole lot more into it.

As the story goes,its about a girl named Shin Bia was revered by everyone as this beautiful,lazy and super tough girl that no one wanted to mess with.One day,some rich guy that she rejected a while back,decided to kidnap her but she escapes by jumping out the window.......the 12th story window! Thinking she was going die,something weird happens and she finds herself in another world and another time where the Goryeo Dynasty rules!

Also,not only is she in another place entirely but everyone thinks that she is Lady Bia,who is Shin's other self that originally lived in that world,but pulled the now current Shin Bia into her world and allowing her take her place.Anyway,everyone thinks she is Lady Bia,who is also the bride of the future emperor,Yoo Beak.So,not only does she have to find a way home,but also try to deceive everyone into thinking she's the same lady and try her hardest not to fall in love with the prince.

When it came to the love relationship between the two I kinda wanted Shin to end up with Mu-Yeung, but just for a little while just so we could see what would happen if she ended up choosing him.Also,I wanted to see Yoo Beak's reaction when he found out about the two being together. According,to this story he would be what we consider the 'bad boy' here and who doesn't want to see how it turns out with the bad boy.But,I also felt sorry for Ka-Yeon, who you will all see later int the story.This girl was so blinded by her love for Mu-Yeung that she never did see or care that he didn't like her like that.That's why I felt sorry for her but I also didn't like her a lot because of how love sick she was over a guy that didn't even see her and it took her forever to figure out that he'll see her as a woman, but only as a friend.She also tried to take her love frustrations out of Shin.It wan't her fault that Mu-Yeung is in love with her instead of you,but she didn't seem to comprehend that as she tries to take out the competition.

This story is full of conspiracy,love,magic and,of course, violence.For me,wanting to know how this story ends kept me turning the page till their wasn't anymore to turn.Its a thrilling and funny story that I think anyone can get into.I think a lot of you would like the love story of Shin Bia and Yoo Beak very much.
