Why I love manga, #1:

[edited to correct my bad spelling and other grammar stuff)
Mely: DINOSAURS!
Oyce: I know! I want more dinosaurs! Why is there not a giant subgenre of dinosaur manga?
M: I was so disappointed when they turned out to be metaphorical dinosaurs. I thought the series was going to be about human reincarnations of dinosaur scientists who set up a moonbase.
O: OMG! It so should have been!
M: Well, there is the mpreg human-looking dinosaurs live among us series, but I never got past v1.
O: O_o
O: Wow.
O: And I thought Sex Pistols was the only mpreg human-looking animals living among us series out there.
M: In retrospect, that was somewhat naive of you.
O: Truly, it was.

Why I love manga, #2:

Several of us thinking Nobuta wo Produce was a shounen-sports-take manga on a boy working with all his might to restore a grocery store, when in actuality it is a shoujo-Pygmalion manga drama.

Suddenly, the "wo Produce" part of the title makes that much more sense ("wo" signifies an object, so it is "Producing Nobuta" sort of a la producing a movie).

Still, I am sad there are no random cabbages or other vegetables of DOOM.

Why I love manga, #3:

RAISED BY PIGEONS!

(Yes! The pigeons still amuse me!)

Your turn! Tell me what has entertained you today!

Tamaki Hiroshi is indeed playing Chiaki and my retinas will never be the same again. In fact, after greedily devouring the whole series in a matter of days, my retinas may never forgive me. Cannot recommend it enough.

NwP goes to the top of my list. I'm delighted to see that Horikita Maki is in it (as the titular produce) and it sounds fantastic (but I'll still be a little disappointed if no one fondles a vegetable in the entire series).

You wont be disappointed. There is much to make up for lack of produce fondling. Like female vice-principals who jump from building to building to get around the school. Or the Honto-ojisan, a homeless man who grabs people and wont let go until they say one true thing.
