J-Post (Let's Take a Break)

MangaFox has changed some of its features. The Search box has gotten more detailed even while you are typing the keywords, the chapters are listed in volumes (if available), and the best thing -- you can go to the next/previous chapter by hitting the right/left arrow from your keyboard (before you can use < and > though). The only problem I'm seeing is that if the page is showing a whole spread (2-page scan) and the image and the text are so small, you cannot enlarge the page anymore by clicking on it. I tried clicking on a spread, and the background just turned white. That's not good.

In my honest opinion, Ryo has made the mistake of replacing Nagi as the vocalist of supercell. I don;t understand why he has to do it as Nagi has released only three singles (I think) and one album. Pffft.

Bump of Chicken's latest single, Zero, is totally amazing! It's one of the best I've heard from them, and it surpasses the beauty of Special Song.

I read from a Japanese news blog that Yamapi and Ryo has left NEWS -- the former focusing on his solo projects, and the latter focusing on Kanjani8. I don't know how much solid fans NEWS have, but it is quite known that Yamapi and Ryo are the most popular (and loved) among the band so I am wondering how the group will manage without them. Hopefully, they can do so.

My fave source of jdrama torrents, D-Addicts, seems to be going down the drain. For the past year, nobody uploads subbed dramas anymore. Now, I'm relying on livejournal to get dramas, but it is very troublesome to download 600mb+ files using megaupload. I'm thinking of becoming a premium member of MU, but it's quite expensive as compared to filesonic and the rest. I'll think about it more.

The other night, I made a Fairy Tail manga marathon (about 40+ chapters) and I was so glad that leaving the manga for a half year paid off real good. The Tenrou Island arc was so amazing that every chapter gave me goosebumps (because honestly, the current One Piece arc is so boring). I'm thinking of having a Nurarihyon no Mago marathon next, then Reborn!, and if I feel like it, then I'll continue reading Naruto (last chapter I read was Azuma's death, which was like...3 years ago, haha).

Beelzebub wins as my fave manga of the year! Woot woot!
