Greetings friends and fellow bloggers. It is a bitter-sweet day for me. My very first two mangas, my very favorit two mangas, have finally come to an end. Bitter Virgin and Elfen Lied. Both are one of three mangas I have given a perfect 10 score to. Bitter Virgin has seen an increase in popularity in the past month, perhaps because word has gotten out. Four months ago, at Onemanga, Bitter Virgin wasn't even in the top 20, a month ago it was number 18. Today it is the number 4 most viewed manga. Right on. I can't recomend it enough. Without giving too much of a spoiler, I will say that the ending was rather mild given how heart-wrenching and emotionally penetrating the rest of the story was. Elfen Lied hasn't quite cracked the top 20 at Onemanga, although it is still sitting pretty at number 21. Not too bad for a manga I had considered a bit of an acquired taste. Over the last eight months or so, I have been waiting, often impatiently, for the final chapters to be translated. And now...sadly...my wait is through. I'm not entirely sure what to do with my time now. I have started Bleach from the beginning and that will keep me occupied for a while. And I will start rereading Ichigo 100% in the upcoming months. BTW, Ichigo 100% is the only other manga I have given a perfect score of 10 to.

I guess there is alway going back to anime. I have taken a bit of a rest from it over the past month or so. I never did finish 12 Kingdoms, despite how intrigue the first 14 episodes were. Anyway, I will miss the newness of the final chapters of my favorit mangas.

Happy reading, everybody.
