Love and Collage...

Sorry for the delay. My net was giving problems. Anyway i wanted to post a review myself:

Love and collage: This is another crazy comedy manga i have recently read. The story is less of romance and more of dumb fun. The main character Hachibe loves different parts of a woman's body and not a woman as a whole. He loves long slender legs, big breasts, cat like crystal eyes, a husky but beautiful voice and an ideal waistline(this obsession comes after watching some anime). After moving to tokyo to study Hachibe has to live in a dormitory. He was unable to find a perfect woman with all his fav parts but in the dormirory he meets four individual girls with each of the desired parts while the last part(waistline) was discovered later in the story. The shy hachibe gets violent if anyone hurts his GIRLS(some kind of demonic transformation happens).The story is filled with wierd situations and romantic scenes.
This manga was made by the same person who made the popular series Midori days......

Greetings Shounak. Here it is, my review for Yakitate!! Ja-pan. I didn't really know where to post this, so I'll just post it as a comment. Without any further delays, here it is.

[NOTE: This is a review of the anime only. Since I have yet to read the manga, I don't know if this review will be applicable for that as well]


"Yakitate!! Ja-pan" is an anime series, adapted from the manga of the same name, directed by Yasunao Aoki. If it has to be placed in a genre, I suppose it can fit in well as a comedy anime. But really though, unlike most other comedic anime, this one has a rather decent storyline.

The story focuses on the life of a young, budding baker, Kazuma Azuma who possesses the legendary "Solar Hands". His goal is to create a never-before-done National Bread for the country of Japan. The anime starts with him baking a bread tasting better than rice to prove his grandfather wrong. It then moves on to him trying to get a job at the prestigious bakery, Pantasia. The rest of the story focuses on the adventures of Kazuma and his baker colleagues. That's all I can tell you without ruining the story for you. Trust me, the story is pretty good. There are well formed plots and even sub-plots. All in all, a good storyline.

The storyline is good and all, but where this anime really shines is in it's AMAZINGLY OUTRAGEOUS and also hilarious use of puns. Really. The puns are brilliantly done and a recurring part of the anime. Actually, the name of the anime itself is a pun. Also something to note are the well done parodies of other well known series, both anime and manga and others. This anime has refences to series like DBZ,One piece, Shaman King, Gundam, Naruto, Journey To The West, Jojo's Bizzare Adventure and even Lord of the Rings! These definitely add to the value of this anime. Also worth noting is the fact that you can learn a lot of interesting facts from this anime. Thus in conclusion, this is a brilliant comedy anime with a rather good storyline.

Lastly, Sub or Dub? I'm actually a stern believers in Subs, but this is one of those rare cases where the voice actors are actually good. So, if you want, you can watch the dub and enjoy the anime just as much as you would the sub.




Well that pretty much covers it. This is Ryudo, signing out.
