Fandom Blurbs 2011 #008 (Reading is Sexy, C&H + GoT crossover, Creepy Webcomic, etc.)

This speaks truth:

Hiss a$$ is quite exposed... f*ck

I miss Dean Winchester of the Supernatural series... and I also miss reading.

[ NOVEL ]
( A Clash of Kings - Pages 371 to 575 of 708)

I'm almost done!!! w00t!

I love this more than the prequel. More supernatural phenomena going on; there's finally more sorcery than just plain politics. Not that I don't like the political stuff in the novel, I just prefer a fantasy series with more fantasy elements than political ones.

Arya's "human weapon" is such an interesting guy. Hopefully we'll be seeing more of him soon. I'm also curious on who she might end up with... my guess is Gendry... but we don't know about the guy she's betrothed yet... he might also be an interesting guy.

I'm hoping that Theon and Robb would meet already. Theon's obviously attached to the guy... (though I don't think he's gay), I wonder how Robb's gonna behave towards him when he finds out what he had done to his brothers.

Joffrey's so annoying... Sansa's so pathetic. Pfft, they're a pair, indeed.

And oh, speaking of the A Song of Fire and Ice series, I found something pretty interesting:

A CALVIN (as Jon Snow) AND HOBBES (as Ghost, Jon's direwolf) CROSSOVER!!! AWESOME!!! I LOVE IT!!!

[ WEBMANHWA ]

To horror fans, here's an interesting Korean webcomic to check out:

(click the image to see it... if you dare)

It's recommended to watch at night, around 11:20 PM would be nice.

You don't actually need to understand it to be freaked out, but for those who are curious on what the hell was going on, then a translation's available over here.

I discovered this last week. Since most horror comics don't scare me easily, I let my guard down on this one. And after scrolling it a bit I already got scared >_< It makes me feel weird to not finish a horror story, so I had planned to get back to it. On my next attempt, I failed.... but of course, I managed to read it in the end. It was good... still freaked me out even though I already knew what I'll be expecting. This is terrific~

[ MANGA ]

• Black Butler (chapter 60) - That twist about Undertaker's original profession was no longer a surprise (ah, the anime has spoiled that), but the twist on who's the one behind eveything was... something expected and unexpected at the same time, aahaha.
• Bloody Cross (chapters 9 to 11)- To be honest, I don't really read it anymore... except for the parts with Tsuduki... because he's so entertaining that I forget about everyone else, ahaha.
• Bloody Monday (chapters 4 to 5) - THEY'RE ENGAGED???!!!! O_O ... oh whatever, more of my beloved J, please. (I think J ships them though. Fufu~)

The first season was fantastic.... and this sequel does not disappoint!

Bloody Monday Season 2 - Chapters 13 to 18

Oh I miss my monday bloody awesomeness... and I just got my hopes up on the return of the one I fully adore in this series~

[ BEAST'S COVER BLOWN ]

I'm so relieved that it didn't take too long for the enemy to realize that Takagi's a spy because HE'S ALREADY BEING FREAKIN' OBVIOUS!
But it seems true that Alexei had trusted Beast.... the betrayal must have hurt him a lot.
I didn't have to worry about him dying... knowing Bloody Monday... and he's a main character. Can't easily kill off a main character especially when he had been kept alive with so much effort in the first season o_o
Bad guys had been successful though... good guys are trying to do the counterattack in the recent chapters.... but still, bad guys had won. That's what I so love with this series~

[ THE BOMB ]

So it's the strongest nuclear bomb ever created.... so to be specific it's a Tsar Bomba?
I got lazy to do more research.... perhaps it's because I'm not that interested in bomb stuff....
But just one hour left before it detonates? And whole Tokyo is in danger? It should take a miracle to be able to stop that at such time limit.... but ah well, shounen miracles get applied to this series... I don't care 'coz BM's awesome xD *bias is obvious*

[ PINNOCHIO ]

Oooo~ We have a new terrorist member introduced. It's not yet that clear to me on what his specialty is....
I hope we get to learn more about him soon *_* He's pretty cute after all *is shot*

[ HIBIKI ]

Oh what twist for yet another ordinary girl turning out to be someone super extraordinary! I LIKE HER REAL SELF! She's a spy, knowledgeable on terrorist tactics (even a walking WIkipedia-chan as Kanou says xD Haha!), and she's sort of like a ninja for being able to see in the dark! *_* Cool cool cool~
I'm happy that she's currently their ally, sort of. We need more kickass young girls in this series~ I prefer this hell more than that other girl.... whose name I already fail to remember because Hibiki's just to awesome xD Haha!

[ OH PLEASE IT'S HIM ]

Fujimaru is having that theory... and Otoya doesn't want to think about it... BUT OH PLEASE I WISH HIBIKI IS INDEED WORKING FOR J!!!!! I WANT J FOR AN ALLY!!!!! THEY NEED J AS AN ALLY!!! OR EVEN IF HE'S AN ENEMY AGAIN (which I really doubt because he's not really a bad dude) I WANT HIM BACK!!! NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW xD
KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!! *obvious J fan is obvious*

Bloody Monday Season 2 - Chapters 7 to 12

I finally get to blog my favorite shounen series again. As planned, I'm doing by 6 chapters again, now onto the second batch:

I'm honestly getting disappointed with the overused style in making twists . . . but nevertheless, it still manages to impress me~

[ TRAITORS ]

What I love with this series is that it doesn't run out of twists but the "traitor" thing is becoming a little overused I think . . .
There's a spy in the enemy territory and most likely there's yet another one in Third-I as well (Was it Minami?) I'm the type who gets tired of seeing the same thing often . . .gguuuhh . . . and now even Hibiki seems to be a "traitor".

[ KNG ARTHUR'S TRUST ]

Ever since it has been revealed to the audience that Takagi's just pretending to be allied with the enemies, he has become MORE OBVIOUS. His worries, hesitations, etc. are freakin' obvious that I wonder why Alexei still hasn't figured it out. Unless my hunch that Alexei just lets Takagi go along even though he knows the spy's identity already is right.
And there's a group or person that doesn't like this new terrorist group either, right? I have a feeling they have a spy in the terrorist group as well. That's most likely the reason why Maya knows things . . .

[ ORIHARA MAYA ]

Yes, she was a bitch. But she was an awesome bitch and she is like that until now. Haha! So he could either be an enemy or an ally as long as there's money. She had been a fun enemy but I'm liking her as an ally . . . well, she's an ally for now at least.
I wonder who she's working for. It's making me really curious. This new terrorist group seems so powerful that Fujimaru and the Third-I's skills really aren't enough. Especially with the hacker that can match Fujimaru is on the enemy side. Damn, where the heck is J . . . . yes, I'm a biased J fangurl but I really think J would make a really strong ally even if he's not a hacker.
Oh yeah . . .back to Maya. Her surname's Orihara . . . damn, instantly reminded me of Orihara Izaya of Durarara!! (my current addiction). Oh my god . . .both are evil yet freakin' awesome (not to mention sexy! Hahaha!)

[ FANGURLING~ ]
I am still sad that J is still not back, but I am pleased with the Otoya screentime:

A bishie carrying a hammer to get ready to destroy a computer . . . it made me laugh so hard. Hahahaha!
Fujimaru has an excellent back up . . . he could act as a bodyguard (shoots arrows and . . . can use a hammer, LOLz), he can explain things that Fujimaru won't get (he can even translate), and he knows what to do at once in emergency cases (like with Fujimaru screwing up). *still doesn't run out of praises to Otoya*
Hmmm . . .but it appears that he still hates his grandpa. And there was something mentioned of his grandpa willing to surrender anything for his political position. It might have something to do with what happened during the hostage incident. Hhhmmm . . . .

[ CYBER BATTLE ]

Things didn't go as smoothly as Fujimaru usually does . . . . I love that!
And those cyber battle scenes . . . I wish to see this part animated. I think it would look really cool!


I got myself spoiled on the latest chapters . . . didn't expect the first season to still be connected to this one. Wow . . .


Random: There's a Hansel and a Gretel! Oh boy, I'm pretty sure this means there's sibling love~ Last season has a Cain and Abel~ Oh this series really knows my type of fanservice, hehe.

Bloody Monday Season 2 - Chapters 3 to 6

I really find it difficult to blog a weekly series . . . besides, scanlations are being consistent on this so like with the first season, I'll be doing this by batch. I'll only be reading this for every 6 chapters (because there are six letters in the words "bloody" and "monday", hehe.) during Mondays (of course! Hehe.) But since I'm a spoiler freak, I'll definitely be taking a peek at the new raws of one of my top favorite manga. Hehe.

[ OTOYA ]

He is as goodlooking as ever~
And of course Fujimaru can't ever hide secrets from him. He's bound to found out no matter what. The power of instincts, I love this dude~
It's so amusing that he's usually the one who puts Fujimaru into toruble in a comical way~ Haha!
And oh of course it's Otoya who understands Fujimaru's feelings very well. They even have their secret language when they were kids and had been very useful in . . . saving the world! Amazing children . . . my best friends duo~

[ FUJIMARU ]

So all this drama of Fujimaru in a trauma was just an act/disguise/whatever. I don't get why he doesn't want Aoi to know, but I'm happy that he has actually levelled up! I can't imagine this series go on without his hacking skills. Oh the authors and these plot twists . . .

[ TAKAGI ]

Another surprise is that Takagi was actually just pretending to be a bad guy. So he was a spy of that terrorist group . . . so that's why they were acquintances.
But Takagi had become a little obvious when it's finally revealed to the readers that he's still a good guy. And I have a feeling that the boss knows . . . he just lets Takagi be.

[ ARTHUR and SNOW WHITE ]

Oh this terrorist group and their code names . . .I love it~
I wonder what that little bottle with Snow White exactly is . . . .I think Arthur is more interested in that than with Snow White . . .who is obviously madly in love with him. One-sided love? Poor girl~
So hhhmm . . . there's Russia terrorism involvement again . . . .and there's demonic power . . condename IVAN . . .. I will not believe that the mangakas of Bloody Monday don't know Hetalia! Hahahhahaha!

[ PETER PAN ]

So this new dude that I have thought as someone would replace J as Fujimaru's rival is called Peter Pan. So, he's more of a rival compare to J because he can compete with Fujimaru in hacking.
But damn, I just don't like him.
He looks similar to Giovanni from DOGS because of the get-up but . . .. at least Giovanni's amusingly freaky . . . but this dude is annoyingly freaky. I don't know why.
Or maybe I just miss J . . .
But I find it cool that when you see the protagonists having a better edge, the next chapter will reveal to you that the antagonists are actually the ones with more advantage. Oh I love the twists in this series . . . keeps on surprising me~

[ LOL ]

Oh this part is just so cute~

But most importantly . . . Gimme J Gimme J Gimme J~
I did not have enough brotherly love from the previous season . . . the brothers are only fond of Fujimaru, not with each other. Aaaaaahhh!!!

Bloody Monday Season 2 - Chapter 1 & 2

Hooray for one of my favorite shounen series mindf*cking me as usual!!!
LOLz~
Anyway, we have a new terrorists group, and the revelation of some of its members were really shocking! And I also wonder how our main character could still maintain his position as one for being so helpless! I'm happy to see the other main characters of the previous season of course. I'm loving the new ones too!
And storywise, as usual it's awesome in every chapter and has a plot twist that drives me crazy! I really love it that this manga always shows what I don't expect!

I'm not sure if the new villains of this series will be an occult type, but I hope it won't be . . . because it sucks if the main villains would be too similar as last season's. I like it that the leader of this one is released earlier, and he's much more threatening than the previous one.
But won't he have something attached to him that will make him trackable? Like the leader of the previous season? If that isn't brought up . . .that sucks.
Anyway, if I have religious reference stuff form the bad guys of the previous season, this time I have fictional characters references! Beast, Snow White, King Arthur (Okay, he's not exactly fictional), and Peter Pan!!! Oh I love their codenames!!!! I also find it so cool that the bad guys are having their way in these early chapters~ I can't imagine how the current protagonists will counter this unless a new hero arrives.

It's really a big surprise that Takagi's involved in this! How could an anti-terrorist person be a former terrorist that will return to being one again? It just didn't make sense . . . At first I thought that dude just had Takagi's face . . . but he seems to be the real thing!
Kanou and Kirishima are part of it too! I thought Kirishima was the one at Third-i with a different hairstyle. Damn, he's no longer cute. But they really seem to be righteous people. It's so odd for them to become bad guys all of a sudden. Unless they were brainwashed or something. Oh I want an explanation!!! Next chapters, hurry!!!

I'm relieved that Fujimaru didn't instantly get himself involved with this case and magically have his skills back even though he hasn't touched a computer for years. As he says, skills can get rusted if you don't do something often.
I really like this twist~ And it appears that Otoya and Aoi respect his decision. What are friends for? Hehe~
But I think he still has the position of a main character. I think he'll still go back to hacking (might be quite of a problem though because his dad will be the enemy this time). I'm curious on what the mangaka has in mind for this~

Oh yeah, there's a new character in this series and I have mistaken her for Haruka. Ehehehe. So she's just Fujimaru's co-worker.
She's pretty. . . and for a hyperactive student she makes herself updated with serious news.
I already like her. I wish she's going to be a main character! (And I think I'll ship her with Fujimaru. Hehehehe~)
I don't get that part though. She suddenly stared at him worriedly after he said that it was "fine". Or perhaps she sees that he's not really okay. Oh whatever . . .

I WANT NEXT CHAPTERS!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!! WHEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
AND PLEASE LET J AND CO. RETURN IN THIS SEASON!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!

Finished Manga: Bloody Monday Season 1

[ OVERALL IMPRESSIONS ]

Bloody Monday - Chapter 96 [END]

I liked this last chapter. It wasn't one of those WTF types and had a conclusion on most of, if not all, the necessary things. I knew it, every single chapter had been impressive for me~

Yeah, it's the typical main-character-saving-the-world kind of thing. I'm not even sure if what he did is something realistic. But he got help from Third-i's IT department, so he didn't exactly do everything alone. I find it cool though, that for a skill that is commonly seen as something negative, which is hacking, had been used to save the city. The first season saves a city . . . I wonder if the next season would have a wider scale . . . or maybe go international. Hehe.
Anyway, for all that Anko did, I find it amazing that Fujimaru still didn't detest her. It seems that he still sees her as a friend . . . but a friend who lost her way. Seriously, this guy's love for his friends is very admirable.

Okay, so things are back to normal. It was a happy ending, except for Maya who didn't get her money.
I love the Kannou x Sasha moment the most. Her reason for protecting Kannou was just "saving a weaker guy". Hahahha! I like this woman~ And I believe they got together again. Yay!

The series didn't exactly leave a cliffhanger but . . . damn, they had cut this part. I badly wanna know what Otoya and his mom will talk about. IT HAS TO HAVE SOME CONNECTION WITH J!!! IT HAS TO!!!!
And she has to be really beautiful because Otoya and J are freakin' goodlooking~ Hehehehehehe~
I want the three of them to meet (Kaname Kujou and her boys) . . . badly. Season 2!!! Show it, please!!!!

Anyway, about J, he called up Jacob(?), Cain, and Abel because he was curious on what they're gonna do now that their occult leader has lied to them. They thought of following him instead, but J has no plans on becoming some new master.
J just wanted to be free. He doesn't want to be bonded to some religious fanaticism and all that crap.

The conversation was cut with Michael and Abel being LOLz~ Why is it so fun to abuse Michael?? Hahahaha!!! Which reminds me that J is talented in abusing . . . I believe that's his main reason for being fond of Michael the most. Haha! (Okay, the canon reason is because like him, Michael wasn't a religious fanatic).

The chapter ended with J's beautiful words: "Don't you think that what we should praise is this peaceful world?"
One of the toughest villains in this series is actually a good guy~ I can't imagine him and his group as villains anymore if ever they show up again in the next season (BUT THEY HAVE TO!!! THEY SHOULD THEY SHOULD BECAUSE THEY'RE AWESOME! HAHA!)
Anyway, hooray for peace! No matter how overused that ideal is in the anime, that's still the best. Love and Peace!

I highly look forward to the new season! Hooray!

Bloody Monday - Chapter 95

Yay for a nice chapter~ I can't wait for the last one~

So K finally dies. Too bad Judas got killed too. He soooo wanted to be excluded from those religious fanatics. Oh they really make good villains, because they're really twisted, in a negative way, and totally despicable. Ugh . . .
To make matters worse, Maya appears shooting at them from a helicopter. So can't detonate the bomb itself.
Fujimaru is can't use his genius if the device isn't connected to the internet. But since time's running out, someone finally decides to help out . . . .even if he doesn't say so.
I guess without being spoiled with the last chapter, it's easy to guess that Tokyo will still be saved. Hehe.

Most Intense Moment For Me:

Sasha wasn't only being nice to the Japanese peeps because of Kannou . . . she still loves him enough to shield him from that bullet. Daaaaaaaaaawwww . . . .why did she appear only recently? She's such an awesome woman~

Most Exciting Moment For Me:

Should you be surprised? LOLz . . .he's just so hott~
And whenever Fujimaru mentions J's name . . .Otoya ALWAYS reacts. Squeee~ Gimme some brotherly love~
Oh J . . . I think he's not really a coldhearted person and he totally wouldn't like it if the religious fanatics would get their way. I'm so happy he's helping out. Wheeee~
Oh I wish he'll really be an ally in the second season~

Hmm . . . is there a J in the live-action??? I'm becoming curious now . . . I only remember a Fujimaru (of course, and his live-action version seemed to be cooler than the manga version) and a Haruka. (No Otoya, baaaaaaaaaaw) from the first episode.
Damn . . . how many times have I reminded myself to marathon the live-action drama . . .

Bloody Monday - Chapter 94

There's only a few chapters left before this manga ends, so I don't think I'll need to do my usual "Bloody Monday Chapters Batch Every Monday" thing. Hehe. So on the last few chapters I'll go daily~
I admit that there are disappointing parts in this chapter, but there are still REALLY GOOD parts. Oh I love it that every single chapter is really impressive in this series~

• I'm honestly disappointed that the characters actually HAD TO WAIT for the main character to wake up when he collapsed before they do some action. Yeah, they need him but . . . oh come on! Why rely so much on the leading character? And he woke up right on time . . . could someone who had fainted/collapsed be awake again in a short period of time? Guuuhh . . . .
  
• I admire Otoya's instincts~ Though I believe in instincts . . . I am not sure of instincts being correct all the time. All of Otoya's instincts so far had been accurate. It may be in his character, and it may have been enhanced from his experience . . . but still . . . a kid to be better in analyzing compare to the adults most of the time . . . . yeah, typical shounen.
• Anyway, for a teen, Anko's really an evil slut. I hate her, but she does fit the role of a villain, and I find that awesome. Hehe. Though she still has this religious fanaticism . . . or mayeb it's more like a deceiving religious fanaticism . . . such type of people freakin' annoys me . . .
  
• The awesome twist for me in this episode is that Judas, who seems to be her righthand man and is named after a traitor, is actually betraying her and is ready to shoot her! Interestingly, unlike the bible's Juads who killed a savior, his killing of Anko will save Tokyo! Cool~ Cool~ Cool~
  

Ah, this is my favorite part:

Otoya told the others about Fujimaru's top secret. Fujimaru is of course pissed because his best friend didn't keep a secret, and Otoya seems to be the type who knows how to keep secrets unless they're needed to be exposed . . .which is the current case. Haha! He now doesn't hate Otoya for doing that. Hehe.

Bloody Monday - Chapters 80 to 93

Gaaah . . . I was also behind on this. *series she hasn't caught up on is still more than her fingers and toes* But I've finally caught up on one of my top favorite manga~
And of course, it's damn awesome as usual~ I already seen these events raw but understanding what they say still shock me! Oh I'm loving the twists~

[ EPIC AWESOME ]

What could be a bigger twist about a virus outbreak other than the said virus isn't a virus at all, but a nuclear bomb?! That was so awesome~ Another cool thing is that the "monday" isn't referring to the monday in our calendar. We're talking about occults after all . . . they follow a different one. (Though I'm not sure which calendar they had referred to. Is it the Lunar one? Or there's another Christian one. Hmmm . . . I should research about the different calendar someday. They seem interesting~)
Many things got clear now. Stuff that I have taken from granted in the earlier chapters actually have connections with the overall plot. The story's getting better and better~
And I really love it that it keeps on surprising me . . . they just can't relax at once once a problem is resolved. It maybe kinda . . . too fast paced . . . but at least this series is focusing on the story . . . and it's about terrorism, they can't just waste time and such serious things don't end easily . . . . oh I love it that it isn't other series that takes a break after an arc by putting in some fillers to waste chapters and prolong the serialization . . . yeah, I believe manga also has fillers, not only anime.

As for the other interesting bits in the chapters I've caught up with . . . I'll start fangurling on my favorite:

[ OTOYA ]

Archer boy FTW!!!!

He's getting more involved in missions. He's pretty useful in the front lines, or in battle scenes.
He's useful in the thinking parts too. Even though he's no hacking wizard like Fujimaru, he can understand Fujimaru's "language" and is already familiar with a lot of technical terms. He's also pretty good in analyzing situations.
What's more, he can do research on occult stuff. I would really rather research on that instead of technical stuff. Hehehe. It's making me wonder why I took up a pretty technical course even though too much tech stuff wrecks my brain . . .
Anyway, I find it really cool that Otoya can understand Russian~ Fujimaru has an RL translator~ Hehehe!

[ J and MICHAEL ]

Now to my second favorite (who is a very close second): J!!!!
He's alive because he had a bullet proof vest~ But he still could've drowned if Michael didn't rescue him~ Thank goodness Fujimaru agreed to the deal. Thanks to him, J won't be rescued either.
Haha, J seems to be so sick of that occult group already that he wants to get away. Michael and him are travelling together . . . oh they're such buddies~
J talked to Fujimaru . . . but damn he hang up when Otoya tried to talk to him. WHY NOT TALK TO YOUR ONII-SAN???!!! WHY!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!
But damn it . . . .Otoya really shot him though. I think I should be angrier at Otoya for actually killing his brother, even if fortunately J survived.
But . . . but . . . . he seems to be trying to make up for it. He tried to communicate. But J is only buddies with Fujimaru . . . .WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ugh damnit . . . . season 2 . . . please make these two brothers face each other personally again . . . . oh please. Better if they'll work together. OMG J and Fujimaru working together . . . that's wow . . .

[ FALCON vs HORNETT ]

And oh, we're introduced to a new character who is a cracker. He seemed impressive to be able to surprise Fujimaru like that. However, he didn't last long.
Ah well, Fujimaru will always be the best in the hacking world in this series I guess. It will be interesting if the next season will introduce to us another hacker that can really outsmart Fujimaru. (Come on, that's possible! J had outsmarted him even without hacking abilities! There are many kinds of geniuses~)
Back to Hornet . . . the guy didn't seem likeable at first impression . . . but he wasn't despicable either. I like it that he's not a 100% obedient dog to K.

[ HORNET and K ]

They're totally using each other, and also pretend to be nice but actually see each other as suckers.
I'm pretty surprised that K had kinda proposed to him though. I didn't expect that Simon's children to be actually his biological children. So it's with the genes huh . . . . then that makes J a real son of Simon? SO perhaps J and Otoya only have the same mother. It might be the same case with Munakata; she only donated an ovum. Oh . . .so the stars are test tube babies . ..

[ MUNAKATA ]

So . . . she actually just didn't want to speak because her daughter was held hostage. But it's a big twist that her daughter is actually the leader of the terrorist cult that aims to bom Tokyo. Whoaaa . . .must be really tough on her.
But at least the friend of Fujimaru's parents isn't exactly a traitor. She's helping them out now~

[ K ]

It was already a surprise for me that Anko was a traitor . . . but a really bigger surprise that she turns out to be K herself. I didn't expect K to be female . . . and chubby.
Oh she's such a slut. I hate her more now that before, when she only seemed like an extra character.
But at least the school connection makes sense. It's not because of the leading character, but because of the enemy. Such a twist that the enemy had been really really close all along.
Having a young teenage girl be involved in something this big is pretty unbelievable . . . but heck, a teenager like Fujimaru being that much of a genius is that surprising as well . . . . but hhhmm, at least it's not typical shounen wherein the leading character should be young while the main villain should be someone much older . . . .and not to mention the villain here is female, and she's not exactly hott . . . but not totally ugly either.

[ RUSSIAN AGENT ]

Oh yeah, more surprises in the recent chapters is that we're introduced to a new one: A Russian agent named Sasha. I didn't expect her to be Kanou's former girlfriend. Didn't expect him to have a girlfriend at all. I thought he was all for the Third-i spy. But I hope he gets hooked with this Russian babe again . . . she's hotter! And they have an interesting relationship~ Hehe~
And oh god . . . this talk on Russia not liking Japan being too friendly to America . . . and the cold war references . . . reminded me of Hetalia. Damnit, I think of Hetalia whenever I see country relations in other series. . . . hahahahaha!

[ LOLz ]

Ah well, despite the seriousness of this manga, there are still crack moments~ My favorite is the part when Kannou's beating up Fujimaru for doing things on his own. And even if Otoya's a bishie, he's no excemption. LOLz~

Ah, yeah. I keep mentioning about my expectations of the second season because only a few chapters left and this season will be over. I can't wait to understand what's going on in the last few chapters~
Oh I can't wait for the last few chapters~ Yay Bloody Monday!!!
