HOTTEST MANGA GUYS I WOULD DATE [RENA & ???] Realistically...

So I actually received a few requests for this post, and now I'm finally going to make it! I made a post on the hottest manga male characters of 2015-2016 here and a person gave me the idea to list the guys that I would like (personally). Though I would definitely fall for any of those guys in that linked post, there's still two CURRENT crushes I have. And here they are!

OBI & RENA

1. Obi from Akagami No Shirayukihime

I actually started crushing on him this year in May. You can read my rant on him here. Obi just somehow seems to GET things, like what you like and what you feel. He is very touching at times and is willing to sacrifice his life to help you. I wouldn't say he is an unrealistic character, but rather just there. I can't get over the way he calls people "Miss" or "Mister." It's very charming and an attitude I completely adore.

SATSUKI & RENA

2. Satsuki Shishio from Hirunaka No Ryuusei

This is probably one of my LONGEST crush I've ever had. I started liking him in 2012, when the manga just came out. xD So you can pretty much imagine how devastated I was when he (in the last chapter) got rejected and left out after EVERYTHING he has done. You can read my rant here. The thing was, he isn't perfect, like the typical main male protagonist. He has faults and he worries about his status. He fails at getting his feelings out and he acts like a child for most of the time. But that's what makes him real. We ALL have faults. And this guy is just too precious for me to let go.

---

Realistically, I think these are the only two guys who if I ever met in the real world would actually somewhat like me. I DON'T mean to boast or brag, so please don't take this the wrong way. I'm just stating the two guys who I wouldn't mind meeting and knowing, and probably vice versa.

The reason I'm saying "realistically" is because most manga characters are very unrealistic. For example, Takumi Usui from Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama is definitely NOT suitable for me. According to the manga, "his specialty is everything." Living with that perfection would make me feel so bad! xD

ANYWAY, I hope I've cleared up a few of your questions on which standing I like.

AGAIN, I'M NOT MAKING THIS POST TO INSULT OR BOAST! IT'S ONLY PERSONAL OPINION!!

ANIME CRACK!!

ANIME CRACK: Akagami No Shirayukihime 赤髪の白雪姫

The video's pretty short since there's only 4 episodes out at this time. But I just HAD to make an anime crack of it! No matter how hard I try, I can't get the Edna "No Cape" scene out of my mind--from The Incredibles. So each time I see a character with a cape, I'm secretly screaming "no cape, no cape, NO CAPE" in my head. xD

Actually I'm also a HUGE fan of Obi so that's probably why I'm putting many scenes of him in it. He's just way too cute!!

Anyway, I hope you'll like it!

Anime: Akagami No Shirayukihime [Snow White With The Red Hair] 赤髪の白雪姫

ANIME CRACK: Ookami Shoujo To Kuro Ouji オオカミ少女と黒王子

I really liked watching this anime and I thought I just HAD to make a crack video of it for entertainment purposes. And so, I did! I hope you'll like it!

The last scene probably describes all of us fans so well! xD

Anime: Ookami Shoujo To Kuro Ouji (Wolf Girl And Black Prince) オオカミ少女と黒王子

I just couldn't resist making these when the anime came out! Check it out!!

Obi & Shirayuki - Akagami No Shirayukihime (Author: Akizuki Sorata)

I had a feeling that this would happen, and it did. I FELL FOR THE SECOND CHARACTER AGAIN!

Why, why, why?! It's pretty obvious that Shirayuki will never end up with Obi since she likes Zen, who also is the main male protagonist. Though I won't say I'm completely hopeless (since the manga hasn't ended yet), I'm about 90% sure Shirayuki will eventually marry Zen and become a part of the royal family. It's not that I'm against this; Zen is a great character too! But I just somehow always have strong feelings for the guy who didn't get the girl and vice versa.

Oh, this chapter made me SO, SO sad. Obi NEVER connected well with anyone and after finally finding the one person who understands him, he realizes he doesn't have one bit of a chance with her. AND, for loyalty to Zen, Obi has to force himself to keep his feelings hidden.

And this hug too!

Well, anyway, I'm still pretty sure if this story goes with the flow, Shirayuki will end up with Zen. I'll probably make a fan-fiction of Obi & Shirayuki for those very few of us who pairs these two. xD

I hope Obi finds happiness, and I'm crossing my fingers that the mangaka (Akizuki Sorata) adds a twist into the story with more Obi & Shirayuki moments. (Or an alternative ending--one with Zen & Shirayuki and the other with Obi & Shirayuki--so all of us fans will be happy!)

These photos are PERFECT for backgrounds or wallpaper! Enjoy!!

BEST FORBIDDEN LOVE/RELATIONSHIPS MANGA (Teacher & Student, Brother & Sister)

So I'm a HUGE fan of forbidden love, especially if it's between an older guy and a younger girl. I'm also very picky on art and story, so my list of top forbidden relationship manga is kind of small. But either way, ALL of them are super, super good, so be sure to check them out!

NOTE: DON'T READ AFTER "SPOILERS" IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE ENDING.

MANGA: Hirunaka No Ryuusei
Status: Completed
Artist: Yamamori Mika

Even though this isn't my favorite manga, I still love it's art and story-line. (I explain in spoilers if you choose to read.) But either way, the clothing, design, and characters are all too-well. You'll love reading this!

Summary:

15-year-old country girl, Suzume Yosano, has to move to Tokyo to live with her uncle due to her father's transfer. She bumps into a mysterious man who ends up taking her to her uncle's place after she gets lost. Turns out, Suzume will be seeing him a lot more often once she starts school because... he's her homeroom teacher!?

You can read the manga here:

http://www.mangahere.co/manga/hirunaka_no_ryuusei/

SPOILER:

I actually really, really didn't like the ending. I LOVE the manga, and would have loved it 100% if it wasn't for the ending. (BUT THIS IS JUST MY OPINION!!) Anyway, the student DIDN'T end up with the teacher, even though I'm positive the author fully intended for that to happen but caved in due to all the pressure from her fans. I really don't feel like ranting on this again, but you can read my full rant here: http://renacheneveryday.blogspot.com/2015/06/hirunaka-no-ryuusei-shizume-satsuki.html

MANGA: Kimi O Chuushin Ni Sekai Wa Mawaru
Status: Completed
Artist: Hatta Ayuko

This mangaka is my top favorite one of the century! Hatta Ayuko, the author who also wrote Ookami Shoujo To Kuro Ouji, is great at illustration and makes her story VERY flirty and adds a wow-I-can't-believe-I'm-reading-this feeling. HOWEVER, this is just one volume out of four--so it's pretty short. Basically, it's about a teacher who meets a girl who's also into gaming.
Very sweet and funny! You'll love reading this if you're into romance.

You can read it here:
http://www.mangahere.co/manga/kimi_o_chuushin_ni_sekai_wa_mawaru/c001/

SPOILER:

There is no kiss! But the last few pages very obviously hints that they got together.

Only the first volume is the teacher/student relationship. But I have to say, the second volume is pretty good too, about a girl who has forbidden desires. It's also VERY cute and a fun read!

MANGA: Faster Than A Kiss
Status: Completed
Artist: Tanaka Meca

This manga is a classic! A beautiful ending, and great illustration! Although a bit unrealistic and predictive, the story is still amusing and cute to read. The characters are drawn very well, especially the teacher, who looks VERY charming.

Summary: After losing their parents, Fumino and her brother hop from one relative to another. Getting tired of constantly moving, she finally decides to quit school and work to support her brother on her own. As they sat on a park bench, her teacher appears in front of her and agrees to her demand of marrying and supporting both her and her brother!! Is he serious or just playing around...!?

You can read the manga here:
http://www.mangahere.co/manga/faster_than_a_kiss/

SPOILER:

The teacher ends up with the student, which I am very happy with. They also get married in the end!

MANGA: Boku Wa Imoto Ni Koi O Suru (I'm In Love With My Sister)
Status: Completed
Artist: Aoki Kotomi

My first and ONLY favorite brother/sister relationship. Their relationship is very flirty and something you'd definitely root for!

Summary:
Yori and Iku are twin brother and sister. Their parents mostly work hard for their best education. Mostly Yori, Iku's brother, has good intelligence and looks. And as for Iku well... Iku's character is kind of a kid one she mostly acts like a kid towards Yori and her parents but she has a cute face. Iku and Yori had been together since childhood they've been together their whole lives. But lately Yori acts differently.. he gives Iku the cold shoulder and gets mad at her is as if he wants to be apart from her. Iku worries and thinks that her brother Yori hates her. But the real truth about Yori's doing's are far more being a "Big Brother" to sweet little Iku. Now, Yori risks different things anything and everything to have Iku. Iku loves her big brother Yori enough that she would risk losing him and she'll do what it takes to keep them together. But Yori doesn't want her that way towards him... as a loyal twin sister dedicated to her own twin. Is it possible that Iku will love Yori not as her big brother but as a man?

You can read the manga here:
http://www.mangahere.co/manga/boku_wa_imouto_ni_koi_wo_suru/

SPOILER:

Though the brother and sister didn't officially get together, it is very obviously hinted that after they met when they were older, they continued their relationship.
This manga is actually somewhat sexual. =D

MANGA: Papillon: Hana To Chou
Status: Completed
Artist: Ueda Miwa

The way the mangaka plots the story makes it seem as if the teacher/counselor is a student rather than some older dude who takes responsibilities. The counselor/teacher is also a bit perverted, so that makes this story a thriller. You'll love reading this!
The author also wrote Peach Girl, which is a really love-triangle type of manga. Also a great read!

Summary:
The story is about an ordinary (and rather unpopular) girl named Ageha who is constantly overshadowed by her popular and beautiful twin sister, Hana. Because Ageha grew up in the countryside with their grandmother while Hana was raised by their parents, the two girls ended up with drastically different personalities. For the most part, Ageha remains a silent and hidden student in the school, with only one friend (who isn't all that nice either). In fact, nobody even really knows that she is Hana's twin sister, because despite looking alike, there is still a large gap between the levels of their beauty and popularity. When Hana finds out that Ageha has a crush on a cute boy named Ryuusei (who is actually Ageha's childhood friend from the countryside), Hana becomes curious about their relationship. However, after hearing that Ryuusei hates people like Hana, Hana becomes irritated and using her charming personality, actually manages to snag Ryuusei as her boyfriend! Ageha is left with no one, but thanks to the strange (and attractive) new school counselor, and some unexpected allies, Ageha decides to do her best and take Ryuusei back.

You can read the manga here:
http://www.mangahere.co/manga/papillon_hana_to_chou/

SPOILER:

The counselor/teacher and student does get together!

MANGA: Otona Pink
Status: Completed
Artist: Sato Zakuri

This manga is a bit typical, about a teacher who ends up living with his student. But the artwork is awesome and the plot is very eye-catching. Though a bit sad (a hospital scene), the manga still ends very happily.

I love this scene!

Summary:
Senou Miku is a normal high school girl. On the day that she had her first boyfriend, her mother had a job transfer. And then, her guardian, who came to live with her, turned out to be her homeroom teacher, Nishizono-sensei...

You can read the manga here:
http://www.mangahere.co/manga/otona_pink/

SPOILER:

The teacher and student does get together!

MANGA: Daisuki Datta Yo, Sensei...
Status: Completed
Artist: Shiraishi Yuki

This manga is a bit short, but cute nonetheless. The characters are very well-drawn and they story is a flirty blast! You'll love reading this!

SPOILER:

There is a kiss! And the teacher and student get together in the end!

HAPPY READING!

BEST SHOUJO MANGAKA (ARTISTS) OF ALL TIME [And their top works...]

I'm more of the type to judge a work by both its art and story, so it gets very picky for me. There were many artists who I absolutely love but just can't tolerate the story they make (some one them were too cliche, too predictive, too slow, etc.). OF COURSE, I DON'T MEAN THIS AS AN OFFENSIVE ATTACK OR SO. I just hope to share my thoughts and in a way, share my ideas of a great manga to read!

Here I'm sharing the 3 top artists I love, who masters the art of drawing and making new and adorable stories.

1. MANGAKA: Hatta Ayuko

FIRST PLACE HAS TO GO TO HATTA. Her work is extremely funny, creative, and beautiful. The relationship she develops are very flirty and heart-stopping at times. She's not the type of author to make something very prolonged or sad and tends to end tension quickly so you don't "fall for the other character."

Though I love every single story she makes, here are a few of my top ones:

Ookami Shoujo To Kuro Ouji

Summary: Erika lied to her friends about having a boyfriend by showing a picture of an anonymous guy who turned out to be a a schoolmate of hers and was shortly recognized by her friends. Their conversations then was overheard by the guy, Sata Kyouya. Erika went to explain and proposed her idea of faking as lovers. However, Sata who gave off the nice-charming feelings guy turns out to be a black prince and used her reasons to blackmail her instead.

Boku No Sekai Kimi No Real

Summary: 1) Mayu falls in love with Naoki Hagiwara at first sight. For some reason, Naoki seems to look sexy in her eyes. But of course, she can’t tell him that along with her feelings for him. The two get into a fight, but afterwards Naoki seems to be oddly closer to her. 2) If Emi Hachiya doesn’t understand something the first time, then she never will. After receiving test scores with an average of 25 marks she comes home to find Ryou Kurosawa, a handsome tutor waiting for her. But is Emi prepared for his Spartan like training? 3) Mii is in love with her older brother’s friend and kouhai, Waou Kaname. The only problem is that Kaname-kun only sees Mii as a child. Mii tries desperately to make him see her differently but will some older girl competition get in her way? 4) Megu is confessed to by her friend Taichi but refuses. When Megu was 13 she saw her brother’s adult video and was traumatized, not being able to ever date someone. Taichi says he’s ok and that he’ll just flirt for now, but Megu‘s reaction to this is more disastrous than she expected.

Kimi o Chuushin ni Sekai wa Mawaru

Summary: The first short story is a teacher/student relationship. The second is about a girl who likes to draw manga delusions.

Order wa Boku de Yoroshii desu ka

Summary: Akari always goes to a particular coffee shop, but not for their coffee. It's to see Naruse Hijiri-kun, a waiter who's totally Akari's type. And then suddenly one day she finds him waiting outside her school?
Also includes 4 other short stories.

2. MANGAKA: Amano Shinobu

She doesn't have many works, but I'm still a huge follower of her. I love how she designs her characters and changes the cliche of a "cool, unconcerned boy" to a "flustered, embarrassed one." Her art is really sweet and her characters are definitely worth knowing. These are my top two works.

Last Game

Summary: He's rich, he's smart, girls gather around him all the time, and he has always gotten first place on his exams... well, until Kujou transferred in his primary school class. She was quiet, plain, and poor, yet not once has she failed at beating Yanagi, both in academics and sports! Yanagi has made it his life goal to defeat this girl Kujou, and ten years later, as they enter high school, he just might finally win! This is the story of their last game.

Katakoi Triangle

Summary: Sekiya-san of the cultural library has an unrequited love for Yuuki-kun. The one who cares about Sekiya-san is the popular Kasai-kun, who is also Yuuki-kun's friend! And, what's this? Yuuki-kun is rooting for Kasai-kun?! It seems that everyone's feelings are one-sided... or are they?

3. MANGAKA: Sakisaka Io

THIS AUTHOR IS AMAZING. She manages to add a very deep message into her stories while making it yet still fun and flirty for the readers. I'm still in the process of reading all of her works but these two are a must!

Ao Haru Ride (Blue Spring Ride)

Summary: Yoshioka Futaba has a few reasons why she wants to "reset" her image and life as a new high-school student. Because she's cute, she was ostracized by her female friends in junior high, and because of a misunderstanding, she couldn't get her feeling across to the one boy she has always liked, Tanaka-kun. Now in high school, she is determined to be as unladylike as possible so that her friends won't be jealous of her. While living her life this way contentedly, she meets Tanaka-kun again, but he now goes under the name of Mabuchi Kou. He tells her that he felt the same way as she did when they were younger, but now things can never be the same again. Will Futaba be able to continue her love that never even started from three years ago?

Strobe Edge

Summary: Having no experience in romance, the vibrant Ninako curiously explores the meaning of what "love" really is, and is surprised to feel a colorful range of emotions as she grows closer to the school heartthrob, the quiet yet gentle Ren, who also happens to be involved in a longtime relationship. With every intention of keeping her head held high, Ninako prepares to face the mental pain of this one-sided love that she had allowed to take root, facing a series of trials that would either contribute to her growth as a headstrong woman, or break her as it did with other girls. However, is this really a one-sided love? Or had something been silently sown in the most hidden part of Ren's heart?

HAPPY READING!

Anime of Ending Theme Song: Akagami No Shirayukihime (Snow White with the Red Hair) 赤髪の白雪姫

English

Resound louder
The beats of our united feelings,
All around this world
Just two of us, would go to paint this world

In the midst of warm sunshine,
I'm searching for your bright smile
While syncing the sound of our footsteps,
Let's move forward

This spreading fragrance,
Touched by your kindness,
Is the same path
I was longing that time.

If you desperately pledge
To protect your beloved one
Even though you've been apart,
Distance would also be your own strength

Believe on,
To those earnest passions
That you hold in your heart
And they'd be your shining guidance

Resound louder
The beats of our united feelings,
All around this world
Just two of us, would go to paint this world

Tsubaki Chou Lonely Planet CHAPTER 4: ENGLISH & SPANISH TRANSLATION 椿町ロンリープラネット

YES! A new series by Mika Yamamori! Chapters 1-3 are all online and can be found here: http://www.mangahere.co/manga/tsubaki_chou_lonely_planet/

I'm disappointed chapter 4 is not translated yet but this is the Spanish version I found online and wanted to share. I translated it to English and listed my translation after each page.

*NOTE THAT SPANISH IS NOT MY NATIVE LANGUAGE SO MY TRANSLATION MAY BE OFF. THE SPANISH TRANSLATION IS NOT BY ME, ONLY ENGLISH TRANSLATION.

 

 

Translation: It was the first time I met an underwear thief.
Girl, could I get a cup..

Translation: Do I make you bitter?
Girl, girl, hey girl. 

Translation: She is not here. She went away..?
I am leaving early today. Lunch is in the refrigerator.
Why...

Translation: That was the first time I was protected by a man.
Eh? Fumi-chan, you're here earlier than usual.
Eh? Ah um. I just thought I should leave early today.
Eh?! That's great!
Yeah, yeah!
Somehow...

 

Translation: Since that time...
It's a little weird to look at him.
Now that I think about it
The feelings that my father left our home
I thought I had to take care of myself
Why...
"You can depend on me."

 

Did he say those words..?
He is usually foul-mouthed.
Very good!
Please take you seats!
First I would like to introduce a new transfer student.
A new transfer student...

 

Translation: It is the guy from the other day!
Yes!
This is the new student.

 

Translation: Is there anyone that wants to volunteer to show him around?
Anyone?

 

Translation: Eh?! Um.
Sensei! Hey, I want this girl to show me around.

Translation: EHHHHHH?!  

 

Translation: Great shot!
It's the transfer student that did it!
He can move very well! It's incredible!
Um..
There is something about this person..
Ah.

Translation: He is definitely attracted to Fumi-chan.
Ehh?! No way!
Don't try to deny it!

 

Translation: Love at first sight.
I do not feel that kind of feeling.
Um.
So what are you interested in seeing?

Translation: Nothing really.
 Is that so?
This is definitely not love at first sight.
We will have to go here. Follow me please.
In any case..
I'm confused this person chose me to show him around.
There must be some..

 

Translation: Reason.
Ah! It's true. You were wonderful playing basketball earlier!
You should be in sports! I completely envy you.
I cannot make it into any teams.

\ 

Translation: You!
You're laughing at me!
What?!

Translation; Why the sudden change?
Ah um.
 How do you know my name?
You! You don't really remember?
10 years ago.

 

Translation: The guy in the marathon!
The prize of 10kg of rice for 500 yards.
It's not that!

 Translation: Oh! The guy who lost!
Second place!
Ahh!
You're doing this on purpose!
Purpose?
The competition..

Translation: But after that day..
 The first position is for Fumi-chan!

 

Translation: Please tell us something!
I did my best in this race.
Yo.
I felt humiliated.
Um.. I actually have much more energy when prizes are involved.

 

Translation: I usually never win! It was just good luck.
What a mean girl you are.

 

Translation: You're the type of person I hate the most.

Translation: EHHHH?!
