<br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />Hello, there!<br /><br />Right, so I've decided that I'm going to talk about Anime and Manga on here as well as books from now on, since I love them both just as much. If anybody is reading this, I hope you enjoy! :)</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For those who don't know what these are this is a quick explanation.</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Anime: Japanese Animation, similar but not to be confused with Cartoons. The art, for one is much more detailed and realistic. The story lines are usually for more mature people, as they can have swearing in them and topics about love, violence and tragedies.</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Manga: Similar to Comics and Graphic Novels, but again for more mature people. A lot of Anime is based off Manga. They can also be quite difficult to read, instead of reading them left to right as you do most books, a lot of them are read right to left since they were originally Japanese and that is how they read.</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />A great thing about these two is that you can learn bits of Japanese along the way as sometimes the translators leave Japanese words in and explain them at the side. <br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">First up, is:</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Kamisama Hajimemashita! - </span><a href="http://mangafox.me/search/genres/Comedy/" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Comedy</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">, </span><a href="http://mangafox.me/search/genres/Fantasy/" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Fantasy</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">, </span><a href="http://mangafox.me/search/genres/Romance/" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Romance</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">, </span><a href="http://mangafox.me/search/genres/School%20Life/" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">School Life</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">, </span><a href="http://mangafox.me/search/genres/Shoujo/" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Shoujo</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">, </span><a href="http://mangafox.me/search/genres/Supernatural/" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Supernatural</a><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">(Both an Anime and a Manga)</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkmAs6JdKTmWZPPPdPsV7tvZUjIIoHihDs8qmkEoe9lKYILN2cGFoaAfDkEqENLbUIVbTucp3xlaD3OlERXPsxa_2kb0fNNzzioFySWfpUC5gyBM4L6mYci_QpYObBpactsy-qrjwIvT4/s1600/307922_430230850390007_198705818_n.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkmAs6JdKTmWZPPPdPsV7tvZUjIIoHihDs8qmkEoe9lKYILN2cGFoaAfDkEqENLbUIVbTucp3xlaD3OlERXPsxa_2kb0fNNzzioFySWfpUC5gyBM4L6mYci_QpYObBpactsy-qrjwIvT4/s320/307922_430230850390007_198705818_n.jpg" /></a><br /><br />- Picture is of present Nanami, young Nanami, present Tomoe(Short hair) and past Tomoe(long hair) and young tomoe. Seems strange, but it makes sense after you read the Manga. :) -<br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This is one of my all time favourite Manga, I'll try not to go into too much detail so I don't spoil it.</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"Momozono Nanami’s dad, a man with a penchant for gambling, disappeared after accumulating a huge amount of debt. Thus, she was chased out of her house by the debt collectors. When she met a timid man being chased by a dog, he told her that he’d give her his house. She believed his persuasive talk, but when she went to his house… it turned out to be a shrine. Moreover, a guy with fox ears appeared, which made Nanami even more confused. What will become of homeless and confused Nanami?" </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />Nanami, the female protagonist, meets Tomoe (Fox-eared guy in the description) who is a shrine familiar, Nanami is told she is the new 'Land God'. And so begins the many random adventures of these two as Nanami tries to improve her power as a the Land God. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This is a brilliant series for anyone who loves a lot of comedy, fair bit of romance and a great story line. I wish I could go into more detail, but just on the off chance someone is reading this, I don't want to spoil it.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I kid, anyways it's a good place to vent or ramble and I could definitely do with some venting, so here goes; </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I'm a busy little worker Bee recently as I'm doing some Work Experience, unpaid, sadly. Seriously, my feet are feeling rather abused. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So, thanks to this (Annoying, horrible, cruel and down right evil) Work Experience, I'm falling way behind on my to-read list. So many books have come out recently or I've bought and I haven't had the time to read them! <Sobs></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />

So, I'll be posting a few here that I have read. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">ADULT BOOKS, 18+!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">First up is a Historical/Fiction book that I really enjoyed! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you like feminist books, with a strong/kick-ass female main charater, then this is your book! Oh, and erm.. pets, that she collects along the way.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">'<span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">This novel of awesome beauty and power is a moving saga about people, relationships, and the boundaries of love. Through Jean M. Auel’s magnificent storytelling we are taken back to the dawn of modern humans, and with a girl named Ayla we are swept up in the harsh and beautiful Ice Age world they shared with the ones who called themselves the </span><strong style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Clan of the Cave Bear</strong><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">. </span></span></div>

To them, blond, blue-eyed Ayla looks peculiar and ugly--she is one of the Others, those who have moved into their ancient homeland; but Iza cannot leave the girl to die and takes her with them. Iza and Creb, the old Mog-ur, grow to love her, and as Ayla learns the ways of the Clan and Iza’s way of healing, most come to accept her.

He develops a deep and abiding hatred for the strange girl of the Others who lives in their midst, and is determined to get his revenge.' </span></span><div>

The main character is a young girl of five years called Ayla, you read as she grows up over time in the first book 'The Clan of The Cave Bear'. The first book mainly focuses on how Ayla grows up, being one of the early Homo Sapiens among Neanderthals. She surprises them constantly and challenges what they think they know. </span></span></span></div>

I don't want to spoil it for anyone who decides to read them though, so I wont say what pets and companions she gains. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Eugenie Markham is a powerful shaman who does a brisk trade banishing spirits and fey who cross into the mortal world. Mercenary, yes, but a girl's got to eat. Her most recent case, however, is enough to ruin her appetite. Hired to find a teenager who has been taken to the Otherworld, Eugenie comes face to face with a startling prophecy—one that uncovers dark secrets about her past and claims that Eugenie's first-born will threaten the future of the world as she knows it.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now Eugenie is a hot target for every ambitious demon and Otherworldy ne'er-do-well, and the ones who don't want to knock her up want her dead. Eugenie handles a Glock as smoothly as she wields a wand, but she needs some formidable allies for a job like this. She finds them in Dorian, a seductive fairy king with a taste for bondage, and Kiyo, a gorgeous shape-shifter who redefines animal attraction. But with enemies growing bolder and time running out, Eugenie realizes that the greatest danger is yet to come, and it lies in the dark powers that are stirring to life within her...' </span></div>

She and all the members of the "flock"--Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angel--are just like ordinary kids--only they have wings and can fly. It may seem like a dream come true to some, but their lives can morph into a living nightmare at any time...like when Angel, the youngest member of the flock, is kidnapped and taken back to the "School" where she and the others were experimented on by a crew of wack jobs. Her friends brave a journey to blazing hot Death Valley, CA, to save Angel, but soon enough, they find themselves in yet another nightmare--this one involving fighting off the half-human, half-wolf "Erasers" in New York City. Whether in the treetops of Central Park or in the bowels of the Manhattan subway system, Max and her adopted family take the ride of their lives. Along the way Max discovers from her old friend and father-figure Jeb--now her betrayed and greatest enemy--that her purpose is save the world--but can she?'</span></span></div>
