[ Manga Discovery ] Rex Fabula


Rex Fabula (Fiction King / Kyokou no Ou)
by Fujiyama Kairi

[ Demographic: SHOUJO-ISH SHOUNEN ]
Homare's desire is to control others. But when he and his friend got pulled into another world, a mysterious being in it is leaving him no choice but to be controlled.
(2 chapters read as of the date this blog entry was posted)

POTENTIAL: A- (AMAZING!) | FAVORITISM: 4 Hearts (ADORATION)

Motivation: (What Made Me Check This Out)
I saw cards (and a cool-looking protagonist) on the promo picture... I KNEW I will fall it love with it the moment I laid my eyes on it xD
And oh, the title means "The King of Fiction" or "Fictional King" in Latin. Latin. Cool~ Fiction Hell yeah~
Curses: (What Seems to be Bad About It)
I think it will start to suck if Homare would need rescuing most of the time. (But how he made someone rescue him from chapter 2 was pretty cool though, haha.)
If ever this will encounter any problems, it would most likely have something to do with the characters (because the story so far is just... wow!)
Praises: (What Seems to be Good About It)
Full of refreshing and interesting ideas. Gotta love how it's connecting "reality", "fiction", and even "religion".
Bias: (What's Keeping Me)
Kyaaa! Best friends! xD Oh Homare, admit it already.
Fangirl: (What I Love in It)
OMG... the cards... the religious "debate/controversies/questioning"... fiction.... shet.
And... HOMARE WITHOUT GLASSES IS CUTE!!!! xD
Nostalgia: (What It Reminds Me of)
World God Only Knows (because of the reality and fiction thing), C: Money of Soul and Possibility Control (main character became a "resident" of another world in exchange of something he didn't really willingly want to give up), Togainu no Chi (the relationship of both series' main duos feel similar o_o Ya know, "evil"-but-nice cool dude tsundere to "nice"-but-really? boy )
Overall:
What a fantastic fantasy and psychological thriller! It was so intense that it got me at the edge of my seat xD Very interesting and intriguing so far~
It's already so great on its first chapter, and it gets even better on the next (and will most likely go on in the succeeding chapters xD).

I liked the first chapter I read in Comic Gene but I'm going to hold off reading until I see a "THE END." I was reading another series by this author called "Dragon Eye" but he put the series on hiatus due to health issues (like right at a cliffhanger too). I'd hate to experience the same thing twice D:

Hopefully this ends well ~ (lol I'm already thinking of the ending and it's like not even 3 chapters long xD)

I am incapable of waiting for the end to continue reading, LOLz

The mangaka had another series? *_* Ooooo.... I wanna see. Too bad it went on hiatus ;_; And didn't even bother to continue it? T_T
I haven't heard anything on restarting the series but you never know. 10 years from now he'll feel like finishing it up...by then I'll have forgotten all about it lol ~
It's really good from what I've read so far. C:

Rex Fabula is such a lovely-sounding name. :D
