Note to self: when reading shoujo manga/manhwa, and you find yourself thinking that all the potential love interests are creepy assholes who irritate you, especially the one the main character obviously ends up falling for? Just... forget that shit and move on. It most definitely will get more annoying with time, unless it's explicitly a comedy.

I'm so picky for shoujo and shounen, really.

Also, is there more good non-conventional shoujo where a heroine (or hero, if shounen-ai) with a strong will and personality doesn't turn to a weepy "omg mah wub is everything!1!" idiot as soon as she hooks up with the guy (or girl, if yuri), and keeps most of her original traits? Any recs, guys?



Okay, so there's a flash demo for The Edgeworth and Gumshoe Show Ace Attorney Investigations. So far it's not as funny as the Defense games (needs even moar sarcasm, Edgey) but then again it's only the first few minutes of the game we have here. The gameplay looks cool and challenging, though. I doubt I'll buy this but I will play the shit out of its ROM.

Speaking of things this game needs moar: Ema Skye. I was looking at some official art.
- Age and height. 18 years old, 154cm. Girl, no wonder you're using those heels as an adult |D You grew well so fine, but didn't really grow up that high.
- Sketches. Behold hair down and no hat and long trousers, and ponytail in some other. So pretty!

I've seen a lot of epic shounen-esque fights like those in seinen and shoujo. The difference between shounen, I think, is the main focus on the fights themselves and leveling up for those, in chunky units of plot (arcs). FMA is more one big block of plot with occasional fights (I've never seen parts of FMA being called arcs). Jump series are fights with scattered pieces of plot in between and follow the arc divisions.

I read the first chapter of the Mononoke manga and I always forget to get up to date. Is it good?

I thought it was lovely, personally. When it got translated to manga, the artist decided to use the updated Mononoke series character designs, which was kind of nice, seeing the Ayakashi arc art being consistent with the Mononoke art.

I thought it translated pretty well into a manga, too. If there were more of it, I'd buy the rest (I bought the two existing volumes, so.).

Awesome! :D Then I must read what's been released.
