Review Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun (Anime)

One of the saddest parts in my life is when the anime i really like end! It happened to me two days ago when Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun aired its last episode. Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun mainly tells about a high school boys named Nozaki who is mangaka with penname Yumeno Sakiko. Nozaki, the high schooler, has the manly built body and deep voice, yet he writes shoujo manga. Although Nozaki doesn't tend to hide that he is shoujo mangaka, most of his friends don't believe him at all.

The story started when Sakura Chiyo, who had the same school as Nozaki, confessed her feeling to Nozaki. Unfortunately, Chiyo confessed her feeling not with saying "sukidayo" but she said "watashi-wa fan desu". This lead to the misunderstanding. Nozaki thought Chiyo is his fan as Yumeno Sakiko then he gave her his autograph as Yumeno Sakiko. On the other hand, Chiyo who didn't know that Nozaki is Yumeno Sakiko felt confused when Nozaki giving her an autograph. That was not the end. Sakura tried to make clear her confession with saying "I want to be with you". Nozaki, who still thought that Chiyo was his fan, invited her to his apartement then making her doing beta for his manga. As the time goes by, Chiyo officially became Nozaki assistant.

Chiyo's story as Nozaki assistant is very entertaining for me. Chiyo met the other assistant of Nozaki's. They are Mikoshiba Mikoto (Mokorin), Hori Senpai, and the newest assistant; Wakamatsu who get his appearence in 6th episode.

Overall, Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun has 7 main characters, they are Mikorin, Chiyo, Seo, Nozaki, Hori senpai, Kahima, and Wakamatsu (I put the name order same as the position in the picture above)

Each of the characters has their own uniqueness. I like Mikorin the most, but for the couple I like Hori senpai-Kashima the most. Kashima always says she wants to be Hori best-kouhai :D

I am satisfied of this series but it is too short ;(

I need more episodes of it. Well, i think the production will make 2nd episode of this series because its manga hasn't finished yet.

For this anime, I give 4,95 stars of 5 (No one is perfect :p)

And maybe next time, I will write review for each episode :9 I wish laziness wouldn't come XD

I forgot to write disclaimer. Ehm.... All of the pictures above is not mine.

ONE PIECE you are making me crazy

Today, i went to campus just to take One Piece new episode from my senior. At the same day its new chapter released, at that chapter Sugar was defeated by Ussop and all of the dolls in Dressrosa become human and beast again, including Curos. It put Dressrosa in hectic condition.
Ok, back to my story. I met my senior and new junior named Anggun who is otaku, too. We discussed about several things, one of it is the mystery which i always curious. It is "who's Luffy's next nakama?". At first i blabbering about information which i get from forum and blog, about they said that Luffy's next nakama is Jimbei or Kinnemon. I said that i refuse if it is kinnemon and i prefer Trafalgar Law to be Luffy's new nakama. They don't like kinnemon but they don't think Law will join Mugiwara crew. My senior predicted AOKIJI will join Luffy's team and be the last Mugiwara crew. He said he get that information from a forum and Smoker who is suggesting Aokiji to join Luffy's team. Well, i'm glad to hear that. Then, my senior said fans predicted Law will die in the series. IT WAS LIKE THUNDER ATTACK ME IN THE MIDDLE OF SUNNY DAY. I don't want LAW DIE and won't LET LAW DIE!!!!!!! Why, they predicted such a thing like that *crying at the corner*. Well, the one who know about story's plot is Oda sensei, so i don't need to worry that much.

ODA SENSEEEI, ARE YOU READ THAT FORUM TOO? ARE YOU LAUGH BECAUSE THEY PREDICTED SILLY THING ABOUT LAW DEATH? OR YOU SHOCKED BECAUSE THEY'RE TRUE? SENSEEEI, I HATE CHARACTER DEATH. PLEASE, DON'T MAKE LAW DIE *PRAY FOR LAW*

2 days 1 night >> the new worthly experience

At the end of this month, i have a chance to get new experience on javan gibbon releasing event in puntang mount, Bandung. I went to Bandung by a comfy travel car. I went there with my friends and several reporter and journalist from various media such as Metro TV, Trans 7, Tempo etc....

I departed from Jakarta to Bandung at 2 pm and arrived at 7 pm.

We got comfortable and nice cottage there. I got fluffy bed and blanket, thanks god for the blanket it's very cold there.

The air is cold in the night. I shivered so hard when i took a bath at 8 pm. After i clean myself, Pak Anton held a briefing with the pers and i joined them. Even, my research adviser told me to guide them but i don't have any experience and information about javan gibbon, so briefing with Pak Anton is helped me a lot.

On the released day, i went to field with highest performance. There's two main section, first is opening ceremony contain of speeches from several important people like director of PERHUTANI, bu Yani (My research adviser) as YOJ (javan gibbon foundation) chief, Secretary of West Java Region, etc... and Second is Javan Gibbon Releasing section. We climb up puntang mount because the gibbon's habituation cage is up there. I climb together with bu Yani as her private porter :p. Then, i saw the process of gibbon releasing with my own eyes, DIRECTLY! Wooooow, i can see the father come out from the cage and looking around to make sure the area is safe for his family (there are 4 gibbon whom released these day). Even, i didn't understand that much about gibbon. I can feel satisfaction because our species (human) can protect other species as ecosystem stabilitation. I hope that gibbon family can be adapted and survived in their new environment and citizen around those forest can contribute to protect gibbon family in it

Actually, i don't want to talk about this more, i just want to share that we can still try and achieve our goal even this time we still wondering around.

The Things That Make Me Curious -One Piece-

Who doesn't know the best anime One Piece? (actually, Shingeki no Kyojin is the best too :p). Most of people in my generation maybe will know about this anime. The first time i watch this anime, is when i was in fourth or fifth grade. Private broadcast company presented this anime. I started watching it when Arlong arc, when luffy ask nami to be his nakama. I leave this anime when finished arabasta arc, and continue when seven water and enies lobby arc. Finally, i, who already graduated and haven't get a job yet, try to kill my time with watching this anime from the first episode until the latest episode. The latest episode which i was watched is Dressrosa arc, when luffy and the team meet fujitora in the bar.

Among those episode, i'm curious about several things

1. WHAT KIND OF ANCIENT WEAPONS WHICH WAS WRITTEN IN RIO PONEGLYPH

As i know, the one who can read that poneglyph is the archeologist of mugimawa crew, Nico Robin. The information i've gained about this is there are three ancient weapons. they are PLUTON, POSEIDON, and URANUS. That three weapon is the bear of gods name. PLUTON is the first weapon i've heard when crocodile mentioned it in arabasta arc. When water seven arc, it was known that Franky has the blueprints of the weapon but burned it. So, further information can't be gained. i'm curious what kind of weapon Pluton is. Is it a weapon like gun or maybe nuclear weapon (okay, forget about the second thought -,-) or it was a warship . Well, it still reamining as mystery. POSEIDON is the most explained weapon. Poseidon is mentioned in Skypiea arc for the first time and was revealed it is Princess Shirahoshi of mermaid isle. Poseidon is a weapon which can giving a command for sea king (or it's more compatible with sea monster). The last is URANUS. Except of its name, i have no idea about this weapon.

2. IS ALL BLUE EXIST OR NOT?

Sanji's dream to find all blue and believe all blue is exist, is gaining my attention. All blue is the mixed area of the four blue (West, East, North, and South). According to One Piece world map, it is impossible to find all blue in the earth. The blue's is bordered by Grand Line and Red Line. Actually i suspected all blue is below reverse mountain XD.

3. WHO'S THE NEXT LUFFY'S NAKAMA?

(Luffy's Nakama; deviantart)

So far, Mugiwara crew is containing of 9 people. They're Luffy as captain, Zoro as swordsman and first nakama, Nami as navigator, Ussop as snipper, Sanji as chef, Chopper as doctor, Robin as archeologist, Franky as shipwright, and the latest Brook as musician. According to Luffy's line in the first episode, he wants to find 10 nakama in his ship. If we count him in, he need one more person and two if he wasn't counted. Actually, Luffy was asked Jimbei to be his nakama, Jimbei didn't refuse Luffy's offer but he said he still has something to do and he will join Luffy's crew if someday Luffy still need him. So, we can't say Jimbei is his nakama for this time. When i blog-walking i found fan-disscussion about this topic. Several of them said kinemon has potential to be Luffy's nakama. I don't agree with them, if kinemon join Luffy's crew so does momotaru. I think Luffy's crew have more than enough swordsman in it (Zoro and Brook). Actually, i'll happy if Trafalgar Law will join Luffy but it almost impossible because Law is the Heart Pirate's captain. Hmmm... i'm looking forward to meet the next Luffy's nakama.

4. WHAT HAPPEN WITH ZORO EYE?

After two years separation, Mugiwara crew changed physically and quality. One of the changes which get my attention is Zoro eyes. He shut his left eye and has scar on it. Beside of opinion that Zoro has new technique through his eye, i thinks it was foreshadowing that Luffy will be the pirate king. WHY I SUSPECT THAT? the first nakama of Gol. D. Roger, Rayleigh has the same scar in his right eye like Luffy's first nakama, Zoro. (silly, but it's my analysis :p)

5. WHAT KIND OF TREASURE ONE PIECE LOOKS LIKE?

Review- The Goddess Of Libra

Here, my new manga collection "The Goddess of Libra" by Watari Sakou. After Seiho Boys High School reached its end, i decided to looking for new manga series to be collected. My eyes focused on two mangas T.R.A.P and this (The Goddess of Libra is more preferable, actually). As my self instinct and my friend suggestion, i choose this manga to be my newest. When i bought this manga last night, it is already has 3 volume, so i bought it all.

At first, i have no clue about "LIBRA" in the title. Now, i know it represents "lawyer symbol".

The Goddess of Libra is a story about a highschool girl called Tsumire who lose her mother. Her mother died because of an illness. She has no father, she thought she was alone after her mother death. But, in her mother funeral, Koudai Hino a lawyer of Yuki Family, come to her and tell her to live with her grandfather. The story begins here.

So far, i like the story plot. It has proper timeline and robust problem. Futhermore, it has several mysteries like Koudai past about his father and Tsumire's grandfather relationship and Kento's past too (Kento is Tsumire's arranged fiancee). Until 3rd volume those mysteries haven't revealed yet.

For the character, the heroine is Tsumire and Koudai. Tsumire, who has fiancee, love her lawyer, Koudai. So, i can say they're the heroine. Tsumire is a nice girl who was thought by her mother to smile in every condition. She always face her problem with smile and her best (even i find her crying in several occassions). Koudai, is the cool and talented lawyer. He always serious in his work because (i think, at first) he doesn't want to lose his job like her father. Kento Hoshi, the arranged fiancee of Tsumire, is son of STARS company owner. He is serious about work, and he has goal to be achieved. He is semi-antagonist (i think). Finally, from those three, i like Kento Hoshi the most (as usual, i like second character than the heroine).

Until 3rd volume, my ratings for this manga is 4.00/5
