Koko ni Iru yo!



Also known as: I'm right here!
Author/Artist: Tooyama Ema
Total: 5 Volumes
Format: PNG
Year: 2007
Genre: Drama, Romance, School Life, Shoujo, Slice of Life.
Scanlator: Nagare Boshi

Discription:
From Nagare Boshi:
Hikage is a reclusive 8th grader who no one seems to notice. She finds comfort in her blog, and the people who comment on it. Everything changes one day when two cute boys notice her. These boys are the most popular kids in the entire school. When one of them tells her something that she's always wanted to hear, she might not be as invisible as she thought...

My opinion:
Not only is the art gorgeous, but the story sends a warming message to readers. The main characters are all relatable, and the entire manga as a whole is just adorable. It has a deeper meaning that takes you along with Hikage as you watch her blossom into the person she wants to be. It softly shows you life's harder moments, and how being with others can get you through them. I have read many shoujo manga that have no plot and are comprised of one girl who has multiple guys falling for her. However, this manga goes much, much deeper and explores life and the very core of relationships. It will make you laugh and tug at your heartstrings at the same time. This is one manga that is an absolute MUST READ for its well-rounded excellence.


For people who think Hikage is winy:
"A person is very weak when he's by himself. But if he has friends to support him, if he has friends to cherish him... He can become as strong as he wants to be."
She's weak like that, yes. But she wants to change. That's why she's so sad and so easily knocked down, it's because she wants it so much that it hurts! If anyone can say that she's so pitiful then you don't know what it's like to be ignored, not even noticed. It's a horrible feeling. One can't even speak up if someone is using their seat. It's a horrible existence when you want to be known by a few friends. Haven't you ever considered that there's someone even weaker, who can give up so much easier?
I was like Hikage once.

My opinion:
This was a very sweet & lovely manga... and even though it's listed in the "drama" genre, there's actually not much drama-- it was a very light-hearted read in my opinion. And the length (3 volumes) seems just right for this particular story. Overall, it left me with a very warm, happy feeling.

Love Lab


Also known as: Love Laboratory
Author/Artist: Momoyuki Kotori
Total: 5 Stories
Format: jpeg
Year: 2005
Genre: Romance, School life, Shoujo.
Scanlator: Shoujo Manga Maniac

Description:
From Shoujo Manga Maniac:

The chemistry club invented a special hormone potion. Each bottle cost 500 yen. Riko-chan's boyfriend, Yuuki-kun himself is extremely cold towards love. Riko-chan hopes to move their relationship one step ahead, but in the end...?
This book contains five enticing short stories.
 
My opinion:
The first story (Love Lab) was cute, but I felt that the main character ignored the heroine too much, and his reasons weren't that good... The second story (Merry Kiss) was lovely, and sweet, but could have been much better. I felt that things weren't explained about the main character and the ending was too rushed. The third story (Perfect Doll) was good and enjoyable, but the ending was abrupt. It felt incomplete, like it might have a continuation. Twinkle Twinkle (4th story) reminded me a little too much of Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, which is a great series. The story was good, but it also felt incomplete. The ending wasn't good because it wasn't really an ending. The last story (Cupid's Arrow) was really fun. I wish it could have been longer though because I would have wanted to see more development between the "cupid" and Aya. Overall, it was a nice collection of cute, fun stories.

Format: jpeg
Year: 2002
Genre: Drama, Romance, Schoollife, Shoujo.
Scanlator: GKG (inactive), Oyasumi-Scans (inactive), [ RC-SCANS ](inactive) and Slow and Dirty (inactive)

Discription:
By myself
Timid and self-conscious high school student Karin never paid much attention to boys until she met Kiriya, a popular student from a nearby boys' school. Karin and Kiriya embark on a romantic journey despite Karin's classmate Yuka's best efforts to sabotage their relationship, but Karin soon learns that living happily ever after isn't on the curriculum when she becomes Kiriya's center of attention, as well as embittered Yuka's bull's-eye on her dartboard of hate.


My opinion:
I've read tons of shoujo mangas but KFL is still the best.
It's romantic, it's cute, and the artwork is simply beautiful.

And unlike some great addictive romance mangas out there, KFL didn't have the two main characters breaking up all the time, if you know what I mean. Sometimes I'm just reading a manga and I feel that everyone is trying to break the two main characters up. KFL had it's ups and downs but there was never anything totally heartbreaking.

It may be considered a typical shoujo manga, but it's quite realistic in it's own way.
That's another reason why I liked this manga, it was realistic for two people in love. There were unrealistic parts of course (what else do you expect from a cute romance manga?), but KFL talked about how Karin and Kiriya got together from the beginning to the end. There were also family and work problems, which adds to the reality of this manga.

The relationship development between Karin and Kiriya is very detailed. You get to see how they get closer to each other each step of the way. The mangaka doesn't miss a single moment. Not many manga's are blended with a sense of innocence/cuteness and seriousness while still focusing on the romance genre completely. I loved the fact that it was completed by the time I started reading it so I didn't have to wait for the scanlations -.-" And the ending was not rushed like some mangas, it was clear and straightforward. This manga can really make a girl feel all sweet inside, some of the romantic moments are too cute for words <3333 This manga is an inspiration to those of us looking for our one true love.

Also known as: Katakoi no Tsuki 
Author/Artist: Mitsuki Kako

Genre: Drama, Romance, Shoujo

Discription:
From Serenus Dreamers:
Kurumi likes Souta-kun, but what happens when Kurumi witnesses Souta-Kun hugging one of her friends? Could Souta-kun already have someone he likes or is Kurumi misunderstanding? What can she do if that girl is her friend, too!?
 
My opinion:
This manga disappointed me...really..I mean, the title is called "Moon of a One-sided Love" not "Moon of a Love that Could Turn Out to be Mutual" I really liked the first couple of chapters because it shows the realistic nature of unrequited love and how painful things can be but then the mangaka just changes everything to make things happy for everyone. It was just a very idealized rush to me.

From Tokyopop:
Remember the story of the Frog Prince? A little girl kisses a frog to get back her ball, and ends up with a frog for a husband! Only after she’s completely ignored and abused him does she realize the frog has changed into a handsome prince. Miyoul is a feisty high schooler whose only thoughts are of the hottest boy in school, Guelin. But her childhood friend, Heerack, who acts as her personal lackey, is deeply in love with her. Will Miyoul be able to see which is the frog and which is her true prince?


My opinion:
I only read the first volume from Bird Kiss so I don't know the complete story line. I simply disliked the drawings. Couldn't read past it. Normally the storyline keeps me going, Bird Kiss seems to be a slow starter or something.
Anyway enjoy the story

Even though they should be at their most lovey-dovey, they haven’t been able to make out at all… That’s because her boyfriend Yu-kun is a super exam-taking student aiming for Tokyo University. Every day is an uneasy one, without much hugging or kissing.


My opinion:

Mai and Yu-kun are a bit of a missmatch, but a real loveable one. When Mai finally get's some attension from Yu, the big question comes up: Does he really love her?
Another romantic story from the writher of 24 colors. I liked it a lot. It might be a bit dump at some points, but really wirth reading!

Yui has a deep love for her "older brother" (they're not actually siblings, but are related), and she is devastated when he gets married. While at the wedding, Yui meets a sobbing boy, Kaoru. It turns out that his cousin (that he was in love with) is the one Yui's brother is marrying.
When Yui moves into a boy's dorm so she can seek out new love, she finds that the head of the dorm is none other than Kaoru!


My opinion:
Yui acts like a real crybaby when her "older brother" gets married, but she helps Kaoru with his own tears. When she moves into the boy's dorm, Kaoru can't stand her. I think it was kind of funny seeing Kaoru falling in love. he's really selffish!

Kitazono Meiko falls asleep in the library one day, only to be awakened by a kiss! She is unsure of who it was that kissed her, however, there are multiple boys still in the library. Could it be the popular boy Shinoda-senpai? Or the super-cool Mikoshiba-senpai? The boy-next-door type Mogami? Or the cute underclassman Hachiya? Who could it be? They're all possible candidates, but which one does Meiko like the best...?



My opinion:
I found the story in the beginning a bit confusing. All the names are trown opon you and it's hard the see which boy they are talking about. But when I was over that part, I got more into the story. It's really good!
Meiko is really confused about the awakaning kiss and Shinoda-senpai doesn't make it any easier with all the lies en misteries. But does it really mather who it was? Isn't love more important?
Read it people! it's a 10+ manga!

The anime is based upon this manga

Discription:
From Tokyopop:
Hideki's just like every other guy in the 22nd century. He just wants a good job, a good car, and a sexy robot girlfriend to call his own. Until he lands a job, he'll never be able to afford his own 'Persocom' companion. Hideki's luck changes when he discovers Chi--an adorable but seemingly stupid Persocom--tied up in a pile of trash. His first robot companion turns out to be a lot more responsibility than he expected, and she gets him into quite a few embarrassing situations. It's 'boy-meets-girl' for the cyber age.

My opinion:
I've seen the anime before I read the manga, but I enjoyd it. Hideki is a perverted boy which gives many laughing scene's and embarrising as well. The manga and the anime are the same most parts. 2-3 episodes are different. So it didn't give me a new view of Chobits.
I think that people who have seen the anime shouldn't read the manga as well. It doesn't give you another point of view and the anime is more fun the watch.
Conclusion: Watch the anime rather then read the manga.

Genre: Fantasy, Romance, Shoujo, Supernatural.

Discription:
From Nagare-Boshi:
Yume Yume * You You is about Yume, a girl with a twin sister who hogs the spotlight. Yume feels inferior to her sister, she's more popular, smarter, and prettier. One day, while slacking off on her studies, Yume discovers a mysterious mirror that releases people from other worlds into hers! Yume must transform into a miko and save both worlds!

My opinion:
Next to Mermaid Melody comes another story from Hanamori Pink. Those who read MM will reacognise the art, which is one of my favourites.
I must say that story isn't really different than from Mermaid Melody, but special in its own way. No mermaids this time, but a Miko with 8 gardians, 4 in every world.
Between the gardians are some really cute guys...

From Nagare Boshi:
Aria’s parents have been gone since she was very young. Thus, she’s had to grow up in a “foster home” of sorts, and was raised by nuns. On her 16th birthday, Aria recieves a present in the mail– a ring from her “Daddy-long-legs” (a man who protects someone from afar while they’re growing up)! All of a sudden Aria’s life is thrown into chaos. Men try to run her over with cars, shoot her, and kidnap her. Relief comes in the form of Canon, who claims he’s her bodyguard. But can he keep Aria safe forever?

My opinion:
I think this is the best I have read form Mitsuki Miko so far. Rensou no Aria is a romantic drama of the kind you have never seen before! The story is original and the gunscenes with Canon makes this readable for boys as well. If I would give points, this would be a 10+!

Nanaka loves to paint. So when she enters high school, she gets excited at the prospect of joining the arts club. However, there are only two members--the mysterious Chihaya and the energetic Kento. They're both good-looking guys, and Chihaya shares Nanaka's love for painting! Alongside the two gorgeous guys (and Nanaka's best friend)... what will happen?

My opinion:
After "7 period is a secret" and "Kimi to Koi ni Ochiru Mahou de" follows another nice piece of art from Chiba Kozue: 24 colors.
With both of them not able to say their feelings out loud but on paper, Nanaka and Chihaya are making a bit of a mess of there "friendschip". Everything seems to be going wrong and Kento doesn't really help them. I think it's a very good love story, when you like talking via a painting. The ending was a bit weak though.

Even if she turns everyone around her into an enemy, she chooses Sou but…!?

My opinion:
Another good story from Mitsuki Miko. Aoi Kiseki and Renso no Aria where hitseries as well. Love knife is also one of her bests.
Asahi is a real hanger-on. She doesn't dear to say what she thinks or tell someone how she feels. This brings her in a lot of trouble when she wants to swich boyfriends. Sou looks like the type of guy you don't want to hang around with, but is a real sweetheart when you know him better. A short story with a dramatic thouch.

Sawa joins de judo club as club manager against her will, because the captain says he knows her. If Sawa knows who he is or not, she falls in love with him.

2 months online

Hello everyone,

With this blog being online for 2 months today, I thought I have a little chat about Manga Ocean.
Manga Ocean is a blog about the manga I have read intill now. I have been reading manga like 2 years now and wanted to share my opinion about it with other manga readers that are with us on the world wide web. A few old ones are already to be found here and as you may have noticed already I'm a shoujo fan. That doesn't mean I don't read any shounen, but I'll be adding more shoujo manga on my blog as we speek.

Also, the discriptions for the manga aren't always mine. I'll credit the people who wrote it for their work. If there is no name, the discription is mine and I would appreciate it if you don't steal it. I'm working hard to make those!

Since last week was springholidays (at my place) I'll be editing 5 short stories today. So you can enjoy those with me. Credit goes to
Nagare Boshi Manga for these series!

Have fun reading^^

Although she was brainwashed, Ai still has her own weard taste of clothing. She looks and acts like a rockchick. Her powers combined with her singing voice gives her a lot of trouble, but also a good lovelive. The story might be a little weard, but it's worth reading it.

Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne


Author/Artist:
Tanemura Arina
Total: 7 volumes
Format:
JPG(rar)
Year:
1998
Genre:
Adventure, Shoujo, Comedy, Romance, Fantasy, Historical, Supernatural.
Scanlator: 2M (site unknown)
The anime is based upon this manga.


Discription:
By me:
On the outside, Kusakabe Maron may seem like your average high school girl. But in actuality, Maron is the infamous Kaitou Jeanne (Phantom Thief) and also the reincarnation of Joan of arc. God is slowly losing his power due to the demons that have infected the earth. So it is up to Maron, with God's power to capture these demons (through paintings which also disappear after a capture making her into a kaitou). Maron one day suddenly gains a new classmate and neighbor, Nagoya Chiaki who is quite the womaniser. Later on at night, she comes across her new rival in capturing demons, Kaitou Sinbad. With this, new love blossoms and new problems arise.

My opinion:
I really liked this Manga story. Maron looks like a brave person who has everything under control, but under the though girl as your avarage high school girl, without all the selfconfidence. While playing the part of Joan of arc, she falls in love and sees all her mistakes.

The story is not that psychological. You see more action and romance. I think it's the perfect mix! Really go and read it. 7 volumes is that much.
The anime however isn't really that good. If you like action watch the anime if you like love stories read the manga. The anime lakes a part of it.

7th Period is a Secret



Author/Artist: Chiba Kozue
Total: 3 Chapters + 2 One shots
Format:
JPG(rar)
Year:
2007
Genre:
Drama, Romance, School life, Shoujo.
Scanlator: Serenus Dreamers

Discription:
From Serenus Dreamers:

Shun is a girl who used to be shy and gloomy. Wanting to change, she transforms herself into a bright girl when her family transfers into a new place. Hoping to fit in, she laughs and smile at everything agreeing with everyone. She starts to fear that her young teacher is seeing right through her. Is she just imagining it, or is it true?

My Opinion:
It's a short story I just read and I liked the drama part. There isn't a lot of romance in it since it's 3 chapters long, but it's some light reading when you don't have anything else to do.
The one shots are worth reading too. These are very long one shots and next to the mean story these ARE romantic!

Girl got power


Also know as: "Girl got game" and "Power!!"
Author/Artist: Seino Shizuru
Total: 10 Volumes
Format:
JPG(rar)
Year:
1999
Genre:
Comedy, Gender Bender, Romance, Shoujo, Sports.
Scanlator: SaD (site unknown, inactive group)

Discription:
By me:
Kyo Aizawa is very excited about getting to attend Seisyu Academy, which is famous for its adorable girls' uniforms. Her spirits are crushed, however, when she opens the package containing her school uniform to find a boy's uniform.
Her father explains to her that, as Seisyu Academy is also famous for its boys' basketball program, he enrolled her as a boy so she can fulfill his own dream of becoming an NBA basketball star. To make matters worse, she has to stay in the boys' dorms, and her roommate, Chiharu Eniwa, is the same boy she came to hate at tryouts.

My opinion:
10 volumes is long for the oneshots readers ammong us, but "Girl got Game" is worth it. Aizawa is really good in being a boy, but her roommate Eniwas makes it hard for her to be a boy. The more they hang out with eachother, the more they fall in love with eachother. Of course that's the problem. Eniwa thinks he's going creazy, falling in love with a boy!
All this gives a lot of funny scenes and that's what makes it worth reading it! Volume 8 and 9 may be a bit long, but get trough it, volume 10 is amazing. (btw: people who like the movie "She's the man!" will love reading it).

You're So Cool!


Author/Artist: Lee Young Hui
Total: 6 Volumes
Format:
JPG(rar)
Year:
2002
Genre:
Comedy, Psychological, Romance, School life, Shoujo, Shounen Ai.
Scanlator: Trapnest, SoCool and Waltz_alone

Discription:
By me:

Jung Nan Woo--an energetic, though eternally clumsy girl, who like most people who knows him, dreams of going out with the "Prince" of her school, Ryu Seung Ha. Chasing after the perfect prince is definitely not easy.
For Nan-Woo, Seung-Ha was just a dream far, far away. However, sometimes dreams exist to come true! But when Nan-Woo’s dream comes true, it comes at an expensive price. Who knew the perfect prince was actually a big jerk?!


My Opinion:
This was my first manga series next to what I'm reading from Nagare-boshi scanlations. I really liked this series and want to recomment this to everyone! Shoujo is definatelly not the most importend genre from "You're So Cool! ". Jung Nan Woo likes a bit like a boy and really clumsy which makes it fun to read how annoying she is to Ryu Seung Ha. His prince looks makes the story pretty dramatic, which really fits here.
And don't worry about the shounen-ai part. It's just about the uncle of Nan Woo. No details included or something and it's only 3-4 episodes long. You can see it as a site-story.
