Become Habituated To Kiss

       Become Habituated To Kiss

(From Manga Rock)
Description:

What if one day a stranger suddenly kissed you like in a movie?

And furthermore, that person was handsome like a movie star?

Kang DaYeon is definitely not your average girl. --

A heavy eater, and simple minded,

A slow witted girl with no sense at all.

However, she is the area's best fighter, Kang DaYeon.

When she saves a person on the brink of death,

he shows his gratitude with a sweet and sensual kiss.

The weird transfer student Kang Uh yuk (Oh yuk?).An exciting story of taming and being tamed!

From a mini critics perspective:
Okay, first things first, I really enjoyed this manga because of it's sense of humor, drama, and hints of romance shown by the characters. Kang Da, was one of my favorite characters in the manga because she wasn't the typical feminine character you usually read out. No, she eats like it's nobody's business, is the best street fighter in the area, and every once in a while is still a girl.
Woo Hyuk on the other hand, I also enjoyed his expressions and attitude towards the other characters. Being the second best fighter, he was very annoyed that he got saved by a girl. But, this is the exact reason I believe he was able to meet her and love all the same. He finds Kang Da intriguing and shows his feeling for her in a way an elementary schooler would -– by picking on her. Funny enough, this subject continues...

Jung In has been Kang Da’s best friend since they were small. So, of course, it is obvious to everyone that he has a crush on her and wants to impress her. You'll be able to feel at least a little or more pity for this character because he has loyalty and dug up his utmost love for her but she is still completely clueless.

Overall, this manga was exciting to read and I definitely do not regret it in the least! The drawing style was definitely unique and the backgrounds/ story was very clever too! It was fun to explore this manga and I hope more will come out by this author.

Namida Usagi - Seifuku no Kataomoi

Manga Suggestion - Namida Usagi 

Seifuku no Kataomoi #MRR

Author: Minase Ai

Description: {quoted from MangaRock}

When Momoka, a very shy girl who loves rabbits, is forced to change seats, she finds herself sitting at the back of the class, next to a boy she has never spoken to before, Narumi Takahiro. Everyone thinks that he is strange and all of the girls are afraid of him. Why? There is a rumor that he is cursed and and that the girls sitting next to him will never find love. Momoka believes in the rumor and fears him, but she gradually discovers the true Narumi and eventually new feelings are taking a hold on her. Is it friendship... Or love?

Personal Review:
| WARNING - EVENT SPOILERS INCLUDED |

To start off, everyone knows the characters introduced make up the entire story, so lets give them some spotlight time. Most definitely, I love the personality of the characters and how they realistically support each other in the story. 
Narumi Takahiro, being the 'weirdo' in the classroom, has a very bright, intriguing, and friendly side to him. Anyone who reads deeper into this manga should fall in love with his character. Unless of course you are one of the fangirls who only go for the popular dudes in the story which would be  

In addition, I began to think that the author of this manga was very clever in the set-up or story behind the cause of the character's relationship (seat-change occurrence and rumors added together). Another detail that surprised me was that the author didn't hesitate to include a personal matter during the scene where during a run, Momoka experiences cramps and sits at the sidewalk to take a rest. Then she realizes that her period had come and unable to move, she starts to panic. Just after that, Takahiro runs by and he notices Momoka sitting by the sidewalk. Instantly worried, he goes up to her and asks if she's all right. Almost instantly, he realizes that she's on her period, he covers her with his jacket and carries her to the nurse. Momoka is touched by this gesture and starts a new perspective of Takahiro. I mean just take a poll here; raise your hand if you have ever read a manga or seen an anime where the creator includes explicit evidence of a character going through puberty? Noone? Didn't think so. This is one reason to think the series is unique!!
Next up, as she gradually discovers Takahiro's sweet side and falls in love with him, the events get more serious. I lost my mind where she gathered the courage up pretty late and decided to confess to him after graduation and he already left from the station for a forever distanced trip to Hokkaido.
Sadly, several years have already passed and Momoka is already a freshman in high school! This series gets SUPER HOT AND SPICY(to those who know: am i right? or am i right?) once rumors (yes more gossip and rumors announced by yours truly.. just kidding) are exclaiming a sexy/handsome freshman has come to the school. Obviously, hearing these whispers Momoka is shocked to find out they are talking about Narumi Takahiro.
Hmph, you thought that was getting hot? Just wait! Here's my favorite part…
Ongoing, Momoka becomes heartbroken after she confesses because she is PLAIN REJECTED because Takahiro has a "girlfriend". (WHHHHHHHAAAAAAT?!! Then why does he return the googoo eyes to her? : My thoughts exactly..) Anyways, they start the whole "Can we stay friends though?" crap, that also involves the "I try to move on with my life, but he always reminds me why I love him" stuff.
OOOOOOOH AND ONE MORE SECRET!! Because Momoka appears to be the innocent and lovely good girl type, there need not be any explanation for the reason guys notice and immediately fall in love with her. And the juicy stuff you knew would come right after… Yes, it starts making Takahiro jealous, despite the fact that he has a girlfriend.
(SPOILER ALERT  86% - DONT READ IF YOU DONT WANT TO)
The only reason Takahiro rejected Momoka is because he made a promise to his so-called 'girlfriend'. During the series, they show the scene that exposes the true reason Takahiro is stuck to his girlfriend for the time being. Being the responsible dude he is, he can't stand to break a promise, even if it means sacrificing life's true treasure; love.

I REALLY LOVED THIS MANGA AND I KNOW YOU WILL TOO!

How To Draw Anime Style

Want tips on drawing in the anime/manga style?

1. Draw the head first. Start with a more curved circle/oval shape, and then make it slightly point near the bottom of the head's shape(for the chin).

2. Practice drawing with body proportions. Try looking at real photos and draw the hands, arms, legs, feet and other basic parts of the human body. Remember: In real life, the space between the eyes and the side of the head should be the same on each side. Also, try to keep eyes at a correct angle. If you tilt them too much, your drawing will look like an alien. xD

3. If necessary, look at other artists for inspiration, but don't copy their style! You'll need to find your own unique style to use and draw with. The world already has so many copies… Help us out and become an original.

Once you start, try to draw regularly! This will help you keep improving.

*This photo was found off of Google Images therefore we do not own nor did we create this image. We hope to make this message clear.*

10 Steps To Making Your Own Manga/ Graphic Novel

                    10 Steps To Making Your Own Manga Book

                                      

Thinking of creating your own manga?
Well so are your fellow contributors! 
Just keep reading for some great tips!

1. A good way to start off is to know your characters! Characters are THE MOST IMPORTANT part of a story! Knowing their name, personality, hobbies, and appearance is an extreme help! If you are stuck on character ideas, get ideas from or based off of your friends' personalities!

2. What will happen to start off your story? Some people like to use graphic organizers to lay out the events, problems, or solutions. Or some simply take notes on what they think will flow well!
3. Create deadlines to keep you motivated and constantly push you forward along the process!
4. Completed all of the steps above? Start practicing! For example, drawing your characters will improve your visual reference and hand stability. Sketching the anatomy of your characters in different scenes is optional but also helps :)
5. Now you are by most ready for the real deal! Create a layout of geometric shapes or shading so that you may separate different scenes and events, this way the reader won't get confused. Next, start penciling in your characters!
6. Then, revise and edit any changes that could be made to satisfy you and your audience. When you are certain it matches your taste, start outlining it in black ink, think permanent marker like sharpie, or a fine liner pen. Now it has become both official and professional!
7. Create a cover that may summarize your story, your characters, or an important event and include who authored and illustrated it, along with the title of course! If you want to make it Japanese style manga, the cover belongs on the back and you arrange the papers to read from right to left. Or you can keep it in the normal American style reading.
8. In addition, many authors choose to include a message from themselves explaining their inspiration or something they just want to share. Or they give you information about themselves. Of course this is optional but sometimes this catches a reader's attention!
9. Engrave a synopsis on the back of your book that will tell the reader what your book is about and you are pretty much set for your audience!
10. Advertise your manga, get it published if you like, give copies to your friends, or send it to your school or public library! Get it out to the world for it to read.
Wanna share YOUR masterpiece? Comment down below a link or paste it! I would LOVE to read it and give some feedback as well. Peace out Otakus <3

p.s. Have something in particular you want me to share about? Comment down below :)

Assassination Classroom

Anime Suggestion - Assassination Classroom

Now, we've probably all had a teacher we didn't like too much. Some of us have probably hated a few of our teachers. But, imagine, you have to kill the teacher. And you get paid for it! How much? 10 billion yen (that's 100 million U.S. dollars)!

I hope that gives a bit of perspective on what this anime is.

This anime centers around Nagisa Shiota, a student at a prestigious private school, in class E there. It was supposed to be a normal year for Nagisa and his classmates, until they meet their teacher, who is definitely about as far from normal as you can get.

The octopus-like creature that greets them on their first day of school tells the students he is their teacher for the rest of the year, and that he is also the one responsible for blowing up half of the moon in the previous year. The students are also told by the government that the creature wanted to teach at their school for their class that year, for some odd reason, and that they are the ones tasked with killing him by the end of the school year. If they fail, the creature will blow up the Earth, just like he did with the moon. When the reward of 10 billion yen for whoever kills the creature that is their teacher is announced, class E is changed for that year.

Killing their new teacher proves harder than they believed. Though the students are given special weapons with ammo that can easily slice through his tentacles, they can't manage to hit him at all. Their teacher is extremely intelligent, has an amazing sense of smell, and can travel at up to 20 machs in speed. Because of this, and because their teacher has no name, he is dubbed 'unkillable teacher' or 'Korosensei'.

Watch this anime to find out if these students have the guts or game to take on this special mission!!!
