A Shinshi Doumei Cross Review : Volume 1
Ah, here we go. Shinshi Doumei Cross, my once most-loved manga series ~ I really like Arina's artwork, it's cute! And there are many things that unfold in the series, keeping the readers desperate for more <3 I followed this series chapter by chapter, enduring the tedious wait of a chapter each month from the scanslations until the very end ^^ I'll try and compose myself for this review ><;;
So the story is about a high school freshman, Haine Otomiya, going into an aristocratic school, where there are rankings and hierarchy between students. She's the typical high school girl; a klutz, air-head, always daydreaming about her crush, and so on. She's the lowest ranking class of the school, and -what do you know-, she likes the most popular guy at school. Or perhaps I shouldn't say it in a cliche kind of way. He's the highest rank. The emperor! Yes, he's the cool and most-respected Shizumasa-sama who basically runs the whole school. (And here I'm wondering why they still have a principal if he makes all the decisions...) So the story goes on, Haine has a best friend, the beautiful, more composed, supporting, yet mysterious one, Ushio. School's pretty normal with the usual daydreaming and sneaking glances at her crush every moment she's able to...then she gets upgraded to student council where she could see Shizumasa-sama everyday, but that doesn't really help...-trails off-
Oh. I must also add that Haine-chan's a yankee. Who knew a cute girl like her could be so....violent? o.o But there's reasoning for turning to her darkness, which makes the story a bit less typical and more serious in a sense. Nevertheless, Haine-chan's just adorable. She has so many little dense moments, funny moments...not to mention when a mini sheep fell out of the sky and hit her on the head xD Then she used him to cover her face and sneaks around, hoping no one notices her. -facepalm- But, it's nice to see that once in a while she has her serious, deeper moments too. Anyways, the book ends with a bit of hope for Haine contrast to her failure attempts to get Shizumasa's attention, let alone talk to him, so this book ends with a sweet touch.
Then again...Shizumasa's mine. So maybe I shouldn't be so encouraging of the ending xD Stay away Haine-chan >3>"" Excuse me, I'm going to go fawn over pictures of Shizumasa-sama now >///<"" (or not...)

Hello everyone, kokoro here! I've newly taken an interest in blogging, particularly in anime. Now I'm completely new at this,
so as much as I wanted to create a new layout, it's pretty impossible. It took over an hour just to get the comment bar to show
up! Anyways, I've been obsessed with anime ever since I was 10 years old. It started with cardcaptor sakura, to my current obsessions
like kuroshitsuji or NANA. Angel Sanctuary ( well anything by Kaori Yuki ), Hikaru no Go, Death Note, Black Cat or Detective Conan.
So I can't really say what genre I enjoy, if it doesn't go all stereotypically then I'd probably check it out. Putting that aside, I'm
usually fairly nice, can get high ( by that I do mean drugs ) on almost anything, and is fairly eccentric~ Oh yeah, a side note, Mystere and
I are not related, so that means we're not siblings, twins or cousins.

Hello! This is Mystere! I'm completely new to blogging and working with html,
and I'm here to help kokoro with her new blogging interests...which also became
one of mine under her constant influences ^^;; I also am interested with graphics,
in which has also been because of kokoro. So, a bit about my anime/manga past,
my very first anime would be Sailor Moon when I was about six year old,
I've also had a four year obsession with Cardcaptor Sakura <3 but not until I was about ten,
did I realize that there were almost infinitely more out there! A lot of my current
favourites are from following koko-chan's footsteps, and completely falling in love
with them~ My list ranges in genres, and including Death Note, NANA, Code Geass, Ouran
High School Host Club, Shinshi Doumei Cross, Para Kiss, xxxHolic and so on~
For personality, I'm a bit quiet, but not shy! So I will open up to about certain things
if the topic really catches my interests ^^ I can be -just a little bit of- a perfectionist sometimes,
and loves to put all my efforts when I'm given a task. I won't stop nitpicking on details until I'm satisfied~
Lastly, an add-on to Koko's side note, no we're not siblings in any way, we're best friends <333
