you know i saw this really interesting newspaper article this morning and i really have smth to say abt it. its about manga btw and im a fan of anime and manga, much like any teenager living in sg and im proud of this fact :) it allows people from really diverse background to click. anyw back to the article.
it talks abt this manga polling back in taiwan some weeks ago and the poll was on the lousiest/poorly written/bad plot of all shouju and shounan mangas. and guess what. the one that was voted the lousiest was actually THE PRINCE OF TENNIS! (which, very coincidentally, is the set of books lying on the rack in front of me right now) and i must say i was appalled! cos as written in that article, the voters think that the prince of tennis is highly fictional with no sense of practicality and logic. which i really have to rebute. if its in the manga, then its all made up. cant they see manga as a room/space for free thinkers? its just a portal to imagine and envisage scenarios that are difficult/impossible to happen in reality. it just bugs me how they just dont see the meaning behind manga. its all about imagination and now these readers are saying the content is so illogical and made-up. talk about irony. pfffft
and third in place is KONAN the detective and the 55-book-long series. okay, personally i think the series is a whinny bit too long winded but the stories are great. well, i read up to, say, 30 books before i decided i really cant go on cos its really too dreary by then. but the stories are still great (though i would prefer kindaichi anytime, hehh) okay, the reason the voters gave for it being one of the lousiest was becos of the fact that after 12 ys of investigative work, konan doesnt seem to be growing up. OH COME ON. doraemon and crayon shinchan DONT GROW UP EITHER. maybe they shld be the one growing up. hahahaha oops sorry ><
and coming in second, (and i really cant put this down, really) is KYO. ahhh cant be cant be. i REALLY like this manga. boohoo please no, there is nothing wrong with the manga right? hahah it just makes me wonder what on earth were the voters thinking when they made their votes? out of jealousy or what? KYO is a great read. and im sure many others will agree with me :) dont you too?

and yes im done with Bubbles Betrothed already! though i must say i would have married Steve Stiletto if i were Bubbles. he was what bubbles deserved but somehow bubbles just din want to be re-committed into marriage and all. so yep even after that touching proposal, bubbles din blurt out any yes. awww maybe there's a 6th part to the series. woohoo! i really hope so.
im going to the library later!
