Shugo Chara

This week I've been watching Shugo Chara, a pink shoujo anime filled with heart-beam battles that surprisingly captured me into its fandom (perhaps Ikuto had a part to play in this...). The anime is at CrunchyRoll and its manga scanlations is OneManaga, and there are good points for both mediums. The manga has a faster pace with wonderful art, is less pink, and has more smutty scenes. The anime molds the manga scenes differently, and though it has filler eps and lots and lots of pinkness and tones down sexual hints for a younger audience, it's great to see Shugo Chara alive on screen.

As the manga and anime series are both ongoing and the scanlations are a few volumes behind, and I've already burned through everything I could find, I next read some spoilers. It's not uncommon that I wish my Japanese is much better than it is, but to be faced with the newest possible ch filled with Amu x Ikuto is so, so exciting and cruel.

Van has competition as my favorite bishi...

Ikuto looks like he could be a cousin of Van! Hm...

The artistic style of the manga from Japan is so unique to its culture. In America the focus is more on realism and lots of muscles, especially with the men. That's why I loved comic books when I was younger ( Batman, Nightwing, etc.). Manga has a delicate, graceful, and lighter nuance to it. I think in many ways it is actually more mature in its simplicity!

Your socks look good by the way and I love your cat!
