Qu33n, The Critique

Life as we know it

Going to review about:

Complex

by Manda Ringo

This is yet another manga that has actually made me cry to the point of sobbing. And, you know what, I love mangas that make me cry. It shows that the manga has a solid story that is able to reel your heart in and wrap you around the story.

I’m back! Yes .. I’m finally posting something on this long abandoned critique blog …

And what a way to welcome back my reviews with something so pleasant to read … Well, not exactly pleasant, but something worth remembering …

Throughout the year, I’ve been hoping from one manga to another. There were some favourites .. But nothing that stick much like previous mangas that I’ve reviewed in here … I was begining to loose hope that there is a decent yaoi manga out there that is worth reading and waiting for 2-3 months for the translations.

Another thing that made the yaoi world a bit dull this year was the fact that a few yaoi scanlation sites decided to throw in the towel once and for all, and discontinue all projects that they’ve been working on. Not that I’m complaining since I love them for scanlating great mangas for our viewing pleasure… It’s too bad the yaoi scanlation sites are decreasing ..

So …

It’ll all get better in time

Posted by: qu33n on: September 10, 2008

okay .. I know I haven’t updated for more than half a year already … (since spring break, I know)

I will update soon …

As soon as I get my hands on some good yaoi mangas in need of some good reviews …

For now …

Been reading Love Mode again …

And even after a year …

That manga still makes me cry ..

Especially the last volume …

Bravo to Love Mode… How I wish there’d be more worthwhile mangas like Love Mode … *hearts*

If you just realize what I just realized

Okay .. On the other hand .. I changed my mind .. I’m sticking to this blog to review …

First off …

What have I been doing??

Reading 4 yaoi mangas a day .. Yes .. 4 … And I’m quickly running out of things to read. Hey, it’s Spring break, I just thought I’d catch up on some Yaoi ..

Most of the time, I entertain myself with Comedy themed mangas ..

Recently, I decided to plunge back into the world of angst …

And angst I got … I have to put my hands down for Koide-sensei for her tear-jerking angst themed mangas ..

The winning angst mangas amongst her many is .. I’ve got to say .. Koi no Tsumeato ..

We need to talk

Posted by: qu33n on: February 18, 2008

I’m moving this reviewing site to my blogger account ..

Why?

Easier to maintain if it’s on the same account as my real blog .. That way I won’t abandon any blogs…

So .. What’s my new url?? … You guessed it – http://www.the-qu33n.blogspot.com

Did the wind sweep you off your feet

Posted by: qu33n on: February 13, 2008

Okay … Been almost a month since I last updated this reviewing blog … No one visits anyway, so no harm in postponing posts once in a while ..

So, yeah, I’ve gone back to my Yaoi manga spree. I’m back! That’s Yaoi. Once you’re sucked into this world, it’s near impossible to get out of it. Now, I’m starting to love watching 2 men kiss …. Be it real men or anime/manga characters. Hot…

So … Yeah … I’m addicted to Yaoi. Everyday, I must read at least one yaoi manga or else … I won’t be able to sleep at night ……. Yes, chronic addiction. At least it’s healthier than other addictions….. It just corrupts my mind .. slightly …

Of course, reading yaoi everyday …. decreases the amount of yaoi manga choices.. I used to be able to read 3-4 volumes of Yaoi .. Now, I’ve read so many that I’m running out of yaoi to read! I’ve even gone back to reading short, unsatisfactory, one-shots.

And now … I’m digging through the Yaoi archives.  Reading yaoi mangas dating back before the millennium, when gay was still EXTREMELY taboo and geaky, tug-in pants were all-the-rage. =_=; Of course, add in the huge grandma glasses, geaky clothes … Ah, you get what I mean right.

It’s not all that bad, going through these oldies. Other than the fact that it’s so nostalgic to read Dragon ball styled mangas again, some of them are pretty … erm …… well …. good. Almost equal to the mangas we have today.

One of them I’m enjoying right now is … Yatteraneeze!

I’m in love with it. It’s old school but the story is ….. well …. very realistic, which is what most Yaoi mangas these days lack in. And the art is not that bad. The art reminds me of the first series of Detective Conan. Which is good since most mangas these days adapt to that kind of art.

I love the reality of the manga. I especially love the characters.

Coming back to real life

Posted by: qu33n on: January 7, 2008

Ookay .. I’ve abandoned this reviewing blog again … Whoops … Sorry .. So it’s a new year!

Happy New Year! And belated merry Christmas ..

Anyway ..Today .. I’m going to review something I’ve abandoned since .. the beginning of last year ..

I know, I keep reviewing Yaoi mangas. But, let’s face it.. what fangirl won’t love reading mangas about 2 hot bishies (sometimes more ^.^) ‘playing’ around under the sheets and making sweet ‘imaginary’ babies. ^O^ Okay, I kid, I kid.

So, this year.. I started out freshly new … Coming back down from the sweet, lovely, sexy world of hot men loving hot(sometimes way too adorable) men, returning back to the real world, where most hot men still loves women (no matter how adorable the other men look *LOL*). So, I’ve decided to read Shoujo.

Back to basics. Yup. One of my first love. Last year (my love for shoujo started a long time ago but I’m just going to talk about last year), it started with Hot Gimmick, then it went to Yuu-sensei’s Fuushigi Gaiden series (which I simply adore more than all her other works) then I fell for Vampire Knight’s hot bisshie vampires … Then, of course, after countless of shoujo mangas later, I got sucked into the wonderful and marvelous world of …. YAOI, my world changed forever.. And I don’t regret it, not ever.

But alas, I have to face the fact that men don’t ALWAYS fall for the next cute guy that walks pass him (I wish…) coz if that happens, then we women won’t have a single chance of getting any men .. And of course, the human race will die out coz men falls for other men and women can only drool and watch them romp around in bed *drops on the floor, laughing ass off*

The lucky shoujo manga that is slowly helping me recover from all the yaoi is… Koukou Debut!! I’m recuperating from all the yaoi (but I’m not giving it up!! I’m just taking a short break)

Human nature

Posted by: qu33n on: December 12, 2007

Okay .. I’m going to say this out loud and proud..

I prefer series compared to oneshots and one volume mangas.

It rarely progresses smoothly and everything is almost always rushed to meet a happy ending .. or a sad one ..

So .. I went on hunting for manga series rather than one volume mangas. I know it’s a painstakingly slow process, to wait for the series to end and all that. But the wait is worth it.

For now..

I’m going to review 2 manga series  that I haven’t finished reading but managed to read at least one of it’s volumes..

First and foremost .. Sex/Love Pistol Read the rest of this entry »
