Wandering Bard
(6 posts, 1149 views) Posted: over 13 years ago by book_lover in I'm Looking For...
I'm looking for books or manga about wandering bards/musicians/minstrels etc. For example, a bard who makes his living travelling and performing in taverns. Fantasy would be awesome, but other genres are fine too. And I'm absolutely fine with mature themes. I will sti...

Conspiracy Theories

Hm, I don't have strong opinions on any particular theories, for true or false. However, I do believe that it is possible or even likely that at least some of them contain a seed of truth. Sure, most of them are probably complete nonsense, but it is too close-minded to ...

Quote from Casey D. Geek
The one work of fiction that really affected me was a novel series the name of which I happily forgot. It involved everything that something meant for children shouldn't.

I like "The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow." When something's stressing me I remember this saying and get perspective. Many things that upset us are of only passing importance.

Right away I think of the Dragonbone Chair Series by Tad Williams and the Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb. I'll get back to you later if I think of more.
Also, Breath and Bone, and Flesh and Spirit, by Carol Berg

Dont you hate it when your story gets axed?

It isn't even that the stories are axed, for me. Not exactly. Of course, the manga I like I would want to continue, but it would be okay if the ending was good. When the stories are axed they don't get enough time to wrap them up properly and a bad ending can ruin a se...

Unconventional/Ambiguous morals

I think Hoshi no Samidare kind of fits...at least, his ostensible goal is an evil one
Zennou no Noa - The World of Lostmemories
Kuroshitsuji The end of the circus arc is particularly questionable
Destroy and Revolution mc is a terrorist

I'm going to do what another person did, and choose one from each demographic, plus a fifth. Honestly, choosing only five is impossible, so be aware that there are many amazing manga that didn't make it on this list through no fault of their own

Truthfully, I think it has gone downhill. The fighting scenes are hard to follow, especially telling the mecha apart, and they aren't fresh anymore, just the same old. I flip through them now.

Do you like it when in a manga, the girl falls for her rapist?
(137 posts, 31449 views) Posted: over 13 years ago by book_lover in Shoujo/Josei
A woman falling for her rapist could be a good psychological piece, treated properly and with the understanding that it is rape and is not right. What I have a problem with is how so many manga portray it as perfectly normal--as real love. Rape is not love, it is not ro...

Definitely seen that before. I think it is Gakuen Babysitters. Probably should get confirmation. I've read several manga with cute kids.
Or maybe Love So Life. Probably this one, on second thought.
Guessed wrong

One-shot, the title story from Because You Smile When I Sing. Almost completely silent, and has a face that looks angry even though he isn't upset. Very cute.
Chizumi and Fujiomi Strong and silent type, but actually very kind.
