Manga Review: Hello Baby (Takeshi Obata X Masanori Morita)

May 29, 2010
Please don’t click this away. Despite this title, it’s NOT a hardcore Shojou/ Yosei/ whatever manga.

Title:
Recently I bought the first 3 volumes of Bakuman and I wanted to check out other works of Takeshi Obata, so I almost read everything he drew. I decided that Hello Baby should get a review because it was the most unique and thrilling one.

Content:
As usual, Obata-sama just provided his drawing skills to bring the story to live. This time Masanori Morita took the writing part and I have to say that they are a very good combination but not as good as Obata X Ohba (Bakuman, Death Note) though.

Honestly, I don’t really want to write something about the story. As it is a one-shot, the plot goes straight forward so I would ruin this one for you (even with a summary without spoilers). All I can say is that this manga is full of action, romance, thrilling moments and unexpected changes which are the ingredients to make an awesome story.

The only thing which confuses are the time-jumps. After my second ride through it, I understood the flow of the time-line but if this would be solved smoother, the rating would get a point more.

Naruto chapter 496: Meeting the Nine-Tails once again

Summary:
Bee, Yamato and Naruto are entering the cave behind the waterfall. Inside are some ancient statues and buildings. They stop at the other end of it in front of an other entrance. Naruto turns the switch to open it by sticking his head into the mouth of a beast-like ornament at the wall.

The door opens and together they enter the next room which is completely white so you can’t make out the corners and such. in that room they’re gonna take off Naruto’s seal. If he can’t control the Kyuubi and completely revives, Bee will lock it inside this room as that is what this place was made for.

Naruto and Bee sit down and fist-bumping each other and the scene switches into Naruto’s mind where that huge cage of the Kyuubi is.

First Look: Ashita no Joe

May 9, 2010

Here we go again with an old-school manga related post. This time it’s one of the best sports mangas called  “Ashita no Joe”. This is the second oldest manga I ever read. The oldest ones are Japanese Batman stories.

For everyone who read 20th Century Boys it’s like a deed reading this manga to find out why the hell Endou Kenji (main char of 20thCB) calls himself Yabuki Joe who is the main character of Ashita no JOE. Well, I took this deed seriously and started reading last week although sports manga are one of my most hated ones (especially baseball related stuff). The reason I’m writing a fist look instead of a full review is that there are just 55 translated chapters out there.
