Manga/Anime Rampage

As you know, fellow Hillwood graduate/Herald member is a manga/anime addict. And guess what - she rubbed it on me. Brigette, also my my best friend, kept influencing me with her manga collection and I started wanting to read more and more! Although I'm a fanatic of several manga books, I'm not as knowledgable about this as Brigette. (Refer to this page for a full Manga/Anime explanation: http://thehillwoodherald.blogspot.com/2009/10/awesomeness-of-anime.html)

Just wanted to update for those who are reading. I am currently .........

*re-reading Fruits Basket (aka Furuba)

*reading Marmalade Boy (current favorite!!)

*reading Kaichou wa Maid-Sama (the main female character reminds me of Brigette)

*planning to read The Devil Does Exist (I watched the Taiwanese Drama re-make of the manga)

*planning to read Itazura na Kiss (aka It Started With A Kiss and also, I watched the Taiwanese Drama re-make of the manga)

*planning to finish Hana Yori Dango

*Planning to read Sailor Moon

*Reading MARS (In Chinese >> I couldn't find the English version at the library)

And what with the recent Eclipse movie, I've decided to re-read Stephenie Meyer's books as well! I just finished reading The Second Short Life of Bree Tanner which is about a new-born vampire that exists in Victoria's army against the Cullens. The book explains how exactly the war was prepared. People who liked the Twilight Saga should read this book too.

I am currently .......

*reading Pictures of Hollis Woods (for Summer Reading at my high school)

*reading the Vampire Diaries Series
*planning to re-read New Moon

*planning to re-read Eclipse

*planning to re-read Breaking Dawn

Maybe I can buy some of these books at Green Apple Bookstore on Clement Street......

All of the manga books I mentioned above are Shoujo type, meaning they're more aimed at for teenage girls to read. If you want other types of manga books, please result to either fellow Herald members, Brigette or Darien!

From India to the US, Anime Rules

Assignment: Bridgette
One of the nicest threads that came out of our talk with Zara was the anime connection.

Write a brief story about how The Herald staff interviewed Zara. After you introduce the situation, write about Zara's feelings toward anime and how you two, in particular, discussed the artform.

You will also need to explain to the reader what anime is. In doing this, you may also want to explain what manga is and how the two are different.

Use this image or one similar to it to show the different anime styles. (Remember to credit your source.)

Also, do you have an anime drawing that you've done with you today? If so, I would like to scan it in as part of your story. If you don't, could you bring one in on Monday and send it home with Oliver?
