Aya Shouoto

If any of you don't know Aya Shouto is a mangaka that made the series SLH, Barajou no Kiss, Super Darling, etc. If you haven't read any of her work, I highly recommend that you do. What I love most about her mangas is the art. The first manga I read that she made was Super Darling. I immediately fell in love with the art and I went to go look for more of her stuff, since Super Darling was not finished at the time. I then read Barajou no Kiss and I totally loved it. There was just enough romance, action, and humor in it to satisfy my reading needs. The art, of course, was phenomenal. After completing Barajou no Kiss, I moved on to SLH and I totally fell in love Uegaito Miki.


How can you not love whose cute ears on his head <3, btw Uegaito is the guy.

Recently I've been reading He's My Only Vampire and Demon Prince of the Momochi House. Of the two I prefer Demon prince of the Momochi House. I tend to find the story a bit more appealing and the characters more lovable than in He's My Only Vampire. If I had to rank those 5 mangas I would put it like this.

5. He's My Only Vampire
I read this manga just for the sake of reading Shouoto's work, but I wasn't too fond of the story. The whole vampire thing and how it's connected in the past and all the other bs, was.....  bs. I didn't like how dark and gloomy it was, plus I'm not much of a fan of vampires and stuff. So yeah... least favorite.














4. Super Darling
Ok, so I loved the beginning of the story and all of the cute school activities that the 5 go through. What really killed the manga though, was the ending. It was sort of messy and I didn't really like it. And another thing that bothered me was the whole, like everyone dies if you don't choose someone and when you do, then everyone else dies, bla bla blah. But I really loved the whole light and fun part of the book, like the whole game they played that was kind of like capture the flag and tag.








This is where it gets really hard for me. :(


3. Barajou no Kiss
I really like the story for this one and I was honestly hooked on it. The main reason it was ranked 3 was basically because I liked the other ones just a bit more. What kind of put me off was Anis's relationship with her father. The relationship was quite unclear for me, since it started off as a decent, normal relationship that moved to an overly protective relationship that moved to an abusive relationship to one that's having the father trying to kill Anis, and I was just like WTF! So anyway that was mainly why. But Anis's relationship with Kaede was great, I basically lived on it. Plus Tenjoh Mitsuru reminded a ton of Tamaki and I LOVED IT.








2. Stray Love Hearts
Ok, so I loved this story mainly for how great it would be as an otome game. Like I would totally go for the Miki route. I honestly loved the whole tea party that they had. The manga as a whole was totally CUTE. I was again not fond of the whole main problem, but it wasn't that bad honestly. Someone stole her heart, literally, and she has to figure out who it is. Really not that bad.I also wasn't totally fond of the solution to the problem, but again not that bad. LOVED THE CHARCTERS! All so cute!










And in First Place!!!!

1. Demon Prince of Momochi House
So I haven't finished yet since it's not finished yet. I totally LOVE it though. The characters are just SOOO lovable, especially Aoi and Zushi. I love how the characters go through these serious issues, but in a light manner. Not too serious, but still including action and the tiniest bit of drama. Really fantastic so far. Love the supernatural part with all the different types of demons, especially the Ayakashi, SOO CUTE. I honestly believe that this is Shouoto's best one yet.











So yeah, I'm a huge fan of Shouto's work and I totally love reading her mangas. I can't wait for new volumes of Demon Prince and I think I might reread SLH, Super Daring, and Barajou no Kiss. Anyway if you're reading it please comment your favorite Aya Shouoto work or just any mangaka that you really like.

Produce X 101- Final Ranking

So, I was actually able to watch the entire finale. I'm still going to hold off on writing anything about the actual show portion of this episode until english subtitles are released. That being said the group name is X1. It's sweet and simple and basically sums up the premise of this season. Now onto the rankings. My current top 11 are: 1. Cho Seung Youn 2. Lee Han Gyul 3. Han Seung Woo 4. Keum Dong Hyun 5. Hwang Yun Seong 6. Kim Yo Han 7. Song Yu Vin 8. Song Hyung Jun 9. Son Dong Pyo 10. Nam Do Hyun 11. Lee Jin Hyuk I know I already changed my list from literally yesterday. I honestly happy with whatever the final ranking is as long as Cho Seung Youn and Han Seung Woo get in. If Lee Han Gyul get in, that's an extra bonus. I truly wish that all of the guys could debut in X1, which obviously is not going to happen. Anyway, onto the official rankings. 1. Kim Yo Han When they told us 1st place was down to Kim Woo Seok or Kim Yo Han, I was not surprised. I th...

Produce X 101- Position Evaluation

I love position evaluation. I think it gives the rappers a chance to really shine when they usually have to showcase singing or dancing. It also gives us epic performances such as Shape of You and "Michoji" from Season 2. Either way it allows people to really showcase their talents. The introduction of the X position definitely added interest. I think it is definitely very important for the trainees to be able to both sing and dance at the same time or rap and dance at the same time, since that is what they are going to be doing as an idol. Vocal Position Twit by Hwasa I love how this song was not like the typical ballad type songs to showcase their singing. Their harmonies were amazing and I loved it. Lee Hyeop did really well and I think it was great that he was finally able to showcase his singing ability. Jeonghwa also really stood out with his strong voice and cool stage presence. The performance overall was very captivating and I was really impressed and liked...

Produce X 101- First Elimination

Agh, elimination. Definitely my least favorite episodes, because it is so sad to see trainees go home. I do really enjoy the little events they have in between that lighten the mood of the episode a bit, but overall it's really hard to see some the trainees you really like go home. Entrances I love the entrances and how they consist of inside jokes between the contestants and are just the trainees having a fun time. My favorite entrance would be C9's where Lee Jae Bin and Keum Dong Hyun are pretending to play baseball. Other entrances that I enjoyed were Astory Entertainment's Jeon Hyun Woo and Heo Jin Ho, Plan A (or is it Plan M now, I am so confused) Entertainment's Choi Byung Chan and Han Seung Woo, Brand New Music's Kim Si Hun, Yoon Jeong Hwan, Lee Eun Sang, and Hong Seong Jun, and JH1's Jun Euhara. Body Camp This is one of my favorite sections that this show does. It's really lighthearted and fun. When it came to checking if the trainees have a...
