In search of my true self…

Had always been toying around with the idea of making a manga strip.

But kinda been stuck in my head for like a few months… Lack of motivation? Haha, maybe.

Originally, I wanted to have more panels in telling of the story (it’s kinda fragmented huh?) But time is not on my side >_<

So what’s happening in the strip?

In short: Our heroine, Elise received a letter from her childhood friend who went to fight the war against the “invaders”, knowing that the final mission was a near suicide mission to wipe out the “invaders” he drafted this letter to Elise.

>__< Some how it was more dramatic inside my head!! I blame my self for this incompetence

School has kicked start once again… More train rides for me XD

“This is.. the Gunjo Broadcasting.. clu…” *Static*

“Is anyone…” *Static*

*Static* “See you next week…”

And the story begins…

Those words, although simple or even mundane, contained far more meaning (well, at least that’s what I felt after reading Cross†Channel).

Cross†Channel is a Japanese Visual Novel (What is a Visual Novel?) which I had the chance to come across and enjoy, thanks to the hard work of  the FlyingShine and the translation group Amaterasu.  

Depicting a not-so-normal summer at the Gunjo Gakuren (Blue Marine School), we get acquainted  with the different characters of the story, each having their own reason for enrolling into this ‘particular’ school…

Well, well where should I start?

The trip to Kinokuniya was quite fruitful, I finally bought the novel I was collecting plus the Negima manga (The wait for 20% discount is finally over!). Was disappointed when I couldn’t find the novel for Bakemonogatari(化物語), which I regret not purchasing when I saw it a while back, I was crazy enough to try look for the Japanese version of the novel, that itself was not successful as well (I found the shelf, but was lazy to look through the titles >_<).

If Light governs over Darkness,
then Darkness must be the mother of Light,
amidst the shine of Light,
is the Darkness that lay under foot,
Are you the Light? Or are you the Darkness?
Or perhaps…

Boy… Was I surprise when I saw this.

The amount of updates I get after weeks of immersing in school work?

To begin is to end.

It’s usual right? Once school gets into full power, my motivation to do other things dries up. It’s just the second week and I am feeling tired from all the things I need to cram into my head again… Why did the summer break go by so soon!?

Perhaps it’s time to do it the zen way. Anyways, the good thing is that some of the anime TV series I am waiting for is going to start in a bit, yay!

Train travels to school has been tolerable so far, thanks to the book Lila (sequel to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance), which unfortunately I had finished reading earlier this Thursday.

Time to look for another distraction on the train ride.

I was back from disposing the rubbish for the day, and just happened to look next to the shoe rack. Something just looked different, I counted the number of shoes on the floor.

One, two, three… Eh? Three!?

There was supposed to be four shoes there. Worried I might have counted wrongly, I did another count…
