Koi wo Suru no Ga Shigoto Desu - Chihiro Harumi
Ok this is another work by Chihiro Harumi, whom also did Velvet Kiss, called Love on the Job and is available thanks to Project-H. This one was actually before Velvet Kiss which is a series i very loved. After reading this i felt that it wasn't on par with here second work, don't get me wrong i still like this but to me it felt .... i don't lacking maybe? It is an H-Book so their are a lot of explicit but it really didn't have a developed story for me. Granted it was here first book so i am thankful because here second really balanced story with the ecchi aspect, which lets face it most people read only for.
Story (what there is of it) boil's down to this. Ryou and Minori are lover from back in their school days. After graduation they live together and were lucky to get hired at they first pick jobs, unfortunately they now work for rival companies. The rivalry between the two companies are so strong that they enforce a policy of .... non affairs, or fraternizing with the "enemy". This policy begins to drive a wedge into the two's relationship.
As the story goes it does take some turns but nothing really suspenseful so the thill factor is somewhat there but never continues to climb, which was a let down for me because they left alot of openings to really do that but never followed through on it.
Overall would say to give this a read but i would still recommend Velvet Kiss more so than this because of the story.
Ok ... where to begin
Okie Dokie then
Last update i said i finished Love on the Job and would do up a review within the next week. Still working on getting that out just this time off year is hell.

Busy few weeks
So i been busy as of late so haven't had much time to sit and write up some reviews or give a quick update. Anyway i finished Love on the Job, which ill be trying to get a review out before the end of next week. Had a reformat pc so i'm still trying to get things back to where they were. I decided to pick Shaman King back up after having to drop it due to my jump subscribe running out. Been thinking of doing of doing more ecchi reviews, both manga and video forms, just to see how it goes. Its not like i don't have enough content to start me off, around 30+ GB worth to give and estimate.

New Evangelion trailer
So i got around to seeing the new Evangelion 3.0 rebuild 6min sneak peek and i have to say, think its gonna be great. The rebuild in general is outstanding especially if you have ever seen the original series, i mean my god the difference is almost night and day. More action, no shit story flow, and better twist's whats not to love.
Since they are doing this rebuild i been wondering if they are going to re-do the movie (End of Evangelion) and have it match the changes and updates that have already been done. I would like to see that personally because while the movie was made to wrap up the show it wasn't that great a wrap up and felt just as rushed as the series itself was.
Been kinda busy on my end ( holidays, work, phone issues, computer issues, etc ) so i haven't been able to read or watch as much as i like too. Still working on Love on the Job and its starting to feel a bit rushed but here to hoping it ends well.

Something for a long drive
So i get to go on a 5hr trip to visit someone upstate so been thinking what i could bring with me that will last 5hr drive + overnight + 5hr back on saturday night. Most manga's i have i know won't last me that long so i decided to put of a series i dropped after the first volume was released in JUMP .... One Piece.
I know it very popular with alot of people, even those i work with give me shit for dropping it. I sorry it didn't grab me when it first came out, kinda like Shaman King but i did give that more of a chance before dropping that as well ... around 4 more chapter if memory serves. All this reading may be hell because i going to have to do it off a phone. May put Shaman King on there as well since i mentioned it.
Currently read Love on the Job [ Koi wo suru no ga shigoto desu] i mention in another post. So far its not bad, still a good read just has alot more ecchi then Velvet Kiss. I am finding that the story is kinda taking a back seat in this manga which kinda makes me sad because i started it expecting story or scenes. As i got into about chapter 5 or 6 the story started to come back so ill likely burn about 5+ more chapter before i leave.

Velvet Kiss
Got home from work tonight/morning (depend on your perception of time) and found a manga that i ordered came in.
Velvet Kiss - Chihiro Harumi
Though the picture is of the Japanese cover i got the licensed English version because .... well i can't read Japanese (working on that in the near future). I followed this series from being to end when it was just a scanlation by Soba-Scan and was hooked instantly. When i saw that it had got Licensed in English through H-Book and that Soba-Scan is having a part in its process i jumped at this.
For an H-Book (Hentai) i found i was more into the story then the "action" scenes themselves. The Story flows beautifully an the cliff-hangers really made me go "I gotta know what happens next". I will be getting the rest of this series when it becomes available, Volume 2 was just released here in Nov so Volume 3 should be done by Feb - Mar.
She also has another series called Love on the Job which i haven't gotten around too but was scanned by the same group and licensed here in english through H-Book. I am sure is equally as great and i will be at least be reading the scan, and doing a review as im not sure it has been released yet.

Speed at Which Sakura Fall
So lets start this off with a rant about a manga i just "finished" called
5 Centimeters Per Second
By: Makoto Shinkai
Art by: Yukiko Seike
Not that old of a manga being made back in 2010. I say "finished" because it only has 11 chapter, each being almost 50 pages each and that's it. This was getting to be such a good read, especially since i been putting it off for probably the worst reason to not read something ... the title. Only till i got into reading it that it became why the title is as such, but does it well in a odd sort of way. One thing this manga did that made me slow down was the the way it kept fast forwarding the story. Really not a bad thing to do to keep things flowing but then i found an issue. They keep presenting question and DIDN'T ANSWER ANYTHING. I mean they sorta did thinking back now ( crappy way ) but come one this could have gone longer without hurting the story at all.
Is worth mentioning that this manga is a adapted from the Movie, which i WILL be watching because they gotta end it better then they did. Will do a rant/review of movie which will be either edited updated in this post or get a new one depending when i get time to watch ... do have a career after all Lmao
Still worth the time to read and would recommend it just based on the artwork in it.
Update: 11/22/12
Finally got around to watching the movie that the manga is based on and have to say it still sad. The manga did go farther than where the movie leaves off but still left wanting more. This just furthered the idea that this should of gone on longer than it did and won't have lost anything in doing so. Since i did this backwards i guess i feel more disappointed. But glad that i finally gave this title a chance and would recommend doing this title in the proper order of movie first, manga second because of the difference in endings.
