[Currently + Will Be] [Reading + Watching]

Currently, I am curious about this story called Ima, Ai ni Yukimasu or Be With You by Takuji Ichikawa. I just started reading the novel. After that, there will be 4 other stuff to compare it with:

• The manga adaptation.
• The Japanese TV Drama adaptation, with Hiroki Narimiya as the leading male character.
• The Japanese movie adaptation.
• The US movie adaptation, rumoured with Jennifer Garner as the leading female character.

I will call this the "Be With You" project, planned to be completed in 2009. Why is it so long, you say? Because the US movie adaptation is still in process, and hopefully it will be completed sometime next year. So I need to wait patiently until that time comes.

As I get older...

Recently I found a resource to read lots of comics (manga). This is a good thing to ease my boredom of living by myself in an unknown place. On the other hand, it's a bad news... I mean, I know that I am ADDICTED to comics. Once I start reading, I won't be able to stop. It's going to take over my eating time, my cleaning time, my sleeping time, etc. Yet it's so hard to resist. I'm fighting hard now (not to read comics).

I know this might be a stupid non-important topic. But the bottom line is, it seems that I become less and less discipline as I get older -__-;;

The Demon Ororon by Hakase Mizuki

Why are we even born,
why do we fall in love,
why do we struggle for dreams?

-The Demon Ororon vol. 4-

The Demon Ororon. The drawings are not that good. The graphics are quite violent. The story does not flow so nicely. The ending comes abruptly.

But somehow it leaves a deep impression on me. Maybe the unexpected ending, or maybe the topic of "good" and "evil", is what makes it "something".

It is not the best or anything, but if you are open to controversial topic, I definitely recommend this manga.
