Title of Manga: The Bride of the Water God
Genre: Shoujo, romance, supernatural, historical
Status: Ongoing
Story:
This comic isthe first korean manhwa I've read and thought that it was really good.
The setting of the story goes all the way back to our chinese ancient history. Where gods and demons exist in different dimensions.
This story evolves around a relationship between a god and a human. Unlike from those we usually see on shows where gods and human cannot fall in love, here in this story it is not at all impossible.
It talks about this young beautiful girl by the name of Soah, from a poor family in a supisitious village. She was offered as a bride to the Water God, known as Habaek, as a price to pay to end their drought.
When she arrives at the Water Kingdom and met Habaek, to her surprise it is actually a young boy around the same age as her little sister.
Never did she expects that the man she only comes to meet at night, Mui, is the original form of Habaek, who is the young boy she only meets in the day.
However, Mui who is the Habaek has a dark secrets that he never revealed to anyone and it seems that all the other people Soah met in the Water Kingdom seems to be hidding something.
In a unkown environment with no one she could turn to for help, she has to strive her way through and to survive the ordeal and also, to answer her own desires as to who she really loves.
As for Habaek, he seems to have a past that keeps haunting him and the people serving him are all not exactly loyal to him.
Having said that, he used to love one human women by the name of Nakbin but was killed by her own brother. He always make a promise to her that as long as it is Nakbin, he will always come back to her.
But Nakbin who is supposed to be dead, has returned not too long after Habaek has taken in his bride, Soah.
Soah, who has been proposed to by Habaek was put in a test when Habaek was drugged by Nakbin, to make Habaek fall completely head over heals for Nakbin.
Will Soah be able to be together with Habaek?
Will Habaek be able to fight his fate and be with the girl whom he truly loves?
What is the Great Emperor scheming and who is Nakbin that has reappeared when she is supposed to be dead?
This story will make you want for more and there is always a twist in it that makes it interesting to read.
I enjoyed reading it and I read it twice. Amazing, isn't it?

Capturing Moments
It just one of those days when you are taking a long bus ride home and then you started thinking back of the good old days and memories from the past starts flowing into you. Yea, it's just one of those days.
I've been thinking ever since that night where we asked about your dishonesty and made you cry, I wonder what good does it bring to any body. If you come to think about it, it benefits nobody. However, I've already gotten your answer very clearly and so I won't dig into it. I'm more or less prepared for this long time ago.
Despite that, I will not deny that I really had my fun, laughter and joy when you were around. I bet the others think alike too :)
You were probably the friend that I had whom is always on the go to do things. Ever ready for play, ever ready for fun and silly things.
Although I really hated that fact that you don't pick up your phone, guess that's you and even your parents had it tough when comes to this. I can so totally understand that. But at the end of the day, you've really been a great friend to me.
Casting all these aside, the another YOU started talking to me casually. and THAT is very bad for my heart. VERY BAD! The fact that you stopped talking to me has been for quite a while, so what's with this suddenly friendly thing from you.
Boys are just boys. They are hard to understand and hard to comprehend. Yes yes yes, I knew that long ago. Plus, we will always bump into each other because we are all training at the same venue and at the same time.
I thought that I could slowly get over it, but each time I thought that I'm starting to let it go, each time you KEEP appearing for no special reason. Sigh. Why can't you just be normal? This feeling is just like, I'm about to deliver my shot and then my thumb got stuck and I have to swing my ball back so that I can catch it in time and wouldn't foul.
But anyway, I have a feeling that this wouldn't last.Probably like after today, you will be back to your old self again. SO, I will have to start to stop thinking unnecessarily. Oh boy, that is sure tough. Sigh. Well from ancient times, issues dealing with emotions are always tough. So, just hack it!

Manga Review: AI WO UTAU YORI ORE NI OBORERO!
Title of Manga: AI WO UTAU YORI ORE NI OBORERO!
Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romace, School life, Gender Bender, Shoujo
Story:
There is an all girl's school called Saint no Bara, which means Saint Rose and an all boy's school called Dankaisan.
In Saint nobara, there is a girls band called Blaue Rosen who is admired by many students. Within them, there is a very charming prince looking guitarist, Mizuki. Everyone calls her Mizuki-sama. There is also another charming band member named Shun who is their vocalist.
However, due to some reasons, Shun was selected to go to New York to further her education and that leaves Blaue Rosen without a vocalist. At this moment, a person by the name of Akira appears and wants to be Blaue Rosen vocalist. Despite that. Mizuki would not accept any other vocalist except for Shun, but Akira's singing is way to attractive that Mizuki cannot ignore.
In the end, through a vocalist selection, Akira was selected to be Blaue Rosen's vocalist. With this, it sparks off a series of events that makes you laugh and have you feel a tingling feeling at times. This is all because Akira is in Dankaisen and is regarded as their princess.
Akira who is a princess in an all boy's school and Mizuki who is regarded as the prince in an all girl's school. This sure makes a very interesting combination.
This is an interesting manga series that is short, simple and sweet. It has only 29 chapters with 30 pages for each chapter.
I enjoyed reading it and I hope manga readers would enjoy it too. A change in the type of manga once in a while is a good thing. =)
Have a nice weekend.
