There's a love-hate relationship with lengthy manga series. The hate part is the having to wait til the end for resolution and explanation. The love part is watching the mangaka's art and characters develop. Hisaya Nakajo has a special Hanakimi
chapter in this month's Hana to Yume. Even though her current manga is kinda blah, her current drawing style has made her characters even more pretty. Hanakimi wasn't a very deep manga, but it was certainly defined 'shoujo' manga and was very enjoyable.
Hanakimi 8! Did anyone see the grossly funny twdrama version of the photoshoot?
Darn, I didn't save any screencaps. Well, the jdrama version is the standard definition of cool. This was a better and funnier episode than the last few episodes. Hey, that SMAP guy is in the next episode! and hey, Hanakimi is being republished into those huge volumes!
Random: So the bridge collapsed because of
pigeon poop and not substandard requirements for passing an inspection.
