I Am Back!
Hey People!
Thanks for all the lovely messages while I was away!
Sorry for the long silence as I have been travelling. Been too busy catching up with old friends and family that I barely had time to go near the PC!!! Hk is unbearably hot hot hot now with summer in full slate! I was just sitting still for a minute and beads of perspiration starts to form. Yucks!
Oh, the next 2 weeks will be busy for me as well mugging for my Jap. So entries will be sporadic till I clear my paper :) So do excuse me if my response comes slow and erratic in between these times:)
Wish me luck!

Hey Folks!
Here is the last episode of Atashin no Danshi Episode 11! I'm flying off today after my class. So I wont be able to blog anything in detail today. I'll try to do it asap. Meanwhile, I skim through the video and below is the snippets that I have. Some parts (words) I forgot the meaning and dont have time to check my dictionary so I will fill it in / correct later.
Watch Pandora last episode
アタシんちの男子 第11話: BRIEF SUMMARY
- Inoue played the last voice and image of Shinzo to the crowd and halted the castle invasion.
- Shinzo said he was expecting this moment and warned Tokita the secretary against destroying the castle, and also called out his children's name one by one and then told them about a book. The way to protect what is important is written inside. However the book will be destroyed the same day Chisato's contract expired in 2 more days.
- Just when he was saying "the last thing", the image disappeared. Tokita ignored Shinzo's words and still wanted to charge ahead to the castle but last minute he stopped.
- The next day, Fuu finished the helmet and placed it over the robot
- When they reach the 1000 task, they were stumped when asked for Inoue's first name. The helper appeared and challenged Chisato to another armwrestling, saying she would tell them if Chisato do it. Chisato beat her and found out her first name is rosemary! The laywer appeared and told them they cleared the challenges!
- The lawyer appeared telling Chisato she has to saw all her brother's names into the wrist band
- When they ate together and said Ittadakimasu, the robot shine a light at Shinzo portrait and it revealed a map! The kids did as instructed and a light shone up the chandeliar, and the steps gave way revealing a secret door!
- Just as they are fretting, Masaru solved how to open the door inside the tunnel!
It was with the palm print but still didnt work! They noticed one more canvass in the middle, and Chisato asked "Me?" They guys nodded and when she complete the palm print
- Chisato's friend help provide answer to the last question they couldnt solve, and they saw the inheritance of bar gold and a book
- Chisato went out to get the secretary and told him they have to talk. Chisato revealed the book and the story within....
- The secretary didnt take the money in the end and left.
- At the final drinks together, Shou informed Chisato about the plans to leave. Akira has contacted his mom and will be with her, and Satou said he will meet his parents etc.
- Chisato thought about the times they had been fightin and laughing together and started crying. The guys tried to console her and told her they had a good time together too.
- Shou kicked Takeru and he woke, (in half stupor?) and told Chisato they will always be a family
- Chisato was alone outside looking at the scene and Shou walked over to join her. She asked where is everyone else and Shou told her they had gone to sleep.
- However shortly Shou noticed and threw a stone at the bush and hit the hiding brothers spying on them! Fuu made fun of Shou and asked SHou to hurry up and kiss Chisato
- Shou declined and started to walk off but the brothers caught up with him and shove him towards Chisato but Shou escaped!
- Next day, the guys left one by one leaving Chisato sitting alone in the dining room....
*Aikira boarded a bus
*Satou went back to his parents place
*Masaru continued with his modelling
*Takeru woke at construction site
*Fuu took over Shinzo's company (wearing Shinzo's attire) and the secretary continue to report to Fuu. The lawyer also continued her work and Fuu asked her if she was free that night for a meal. She asked if its a date..and Fuu grin and replied "I wonder..." ...the happy lawyer did her "yeah " stance! (She finally got her wish!)
* At the playgrd, Shou told his son when he is 23 years he must also still be smiling like now
* Chisato was alone and went thru the photo album of the family moments..
Just then, Takeru burst thru the door, and Akira follow suit saying taking the plane is impossible, followed by Satou, Masaru, a very tired Fuu and lastly Shou saying "I'm home"
Chisato was puzzled seeing everyone being back with their bags but saw everyone was wearing the wristband she had made for them..Shou was asking Chisato about later and Satou asking what's that but Shou said its none of his business. Masaru chirped in teasing Shou that's cold.The boys started squabbling (soo funny! I was laughing quite a bithere). Chisato told them to be quiet and ask them what they are doing. The boys stood up (they said something together I didnt quite catch) and they started to strip off their top! They threw their shirt at each other while Chisato was telling them to stop and not do it there, but the guys ignore her. I think the ending Chisato said something about "i dislike it when the guys are like that" ( Will double check again when i get to rewatch the video at leisure).
The end
Afterthoughts
Too bad they didnt show Shou and Chisato together but I think the idea is that the rest of the family prob will approve anyway:) So its up to the viwers's imagination. However, I did wish they could have been more outward in expressing their liking for each other to be more selfishly satisfying for me. The ending was ok. It wasnt a let down but it wasnt really a super climax ending for me either. It felt abit of rushed for the ending esp since we all know it will end happily, so there was little surprise in the end...

Manga: Hapi Mari

I started laughing when I saw page one of the most recent chapter 142 of Skip Beat. This is a great chapter and the valentine build up is getting more exciting with Shou and Ren discovering Kyoko's chocolate secret.. I had to laugh so much at her comical expressions throughout the chapter! Hee heeee. I simply cannot wait for them to decide and start on Season 2 of the animation...
Meanwhile, just started on a new manga romance series - Hapi Mari., scanlated by Aerandria. Honestly, Aerandria really pick the best projects and most of the series that they do are pretty nice.
As far, the first 4 chapters are out. Its about this O.L who had to pay off her clueless father's debt and in the end saved by her company president. They got married and so tha story revolves round the relationship build up between them. It's quite funny really these first chapters. She is soooo innocent that borders on impossible but well, its comic.:) The drawings are good, and as usual, pretty girl with goodlooking guy. It's probably another predictable plot but comic reading is to destress and be entertained, not to mention the drawing board for great drama series! heee hee. So for those interested in Manga, check this series out. It has a rating of 4.92 out of 5 to date.

Brief Summary
Basically the famous pianist had inspiration block, so all thse while he had been stealing musical scores from the guy who suffers from memory problem.
WHat happened was that 5 years ago, the sister was assaulted by this bad guy at her brother's place. To protect her, her brother killed the attacker but because he suffer from 1hr only memory recollection, he forgot he had killed someone.

The sister's boyfriend knew about the truth and had begged her to go to the police to tell the truth. However they had a big fight and she refused. In the end, her boyfriend went to confront the pianist and thus was killed to silence him.

The pianist wanted to exploit the guy's memory loss and moved the body to the memory loss guy's house and told the guy that he was the killer, and forced the guy to write into his memo a false confession as being a killer. What the pianist didnt know was that the guy had quickly written down 4 musical note to conceal as the pianist name which was discovered by Ryu during the concert. Physical evidence and survelliance cam turned up by the IPS lab also assisted the police to narrow down the pianist as the suspect.
Afterthoughts
Its a good episode. I thought it was pretty touching. Somehow though, the episode are becoming more predictable...hmmm.. however in the same episide leading to the next story, I laughed so hard at Hiro's expression when he said "45!" refering to the gun murder weapon and his partner smacked him on his head asking why he's talking in english. That moment was really funny for me and i burst out laughing! It must Hiro's innocent expression... :)
