On the Way Down

Last night a manga I have been reading for nearly a year came to a very abrupt end. It ended on chapter 162 and I didn't see it coming for one minute, I thought it still could go about another 50 chapters or so. The manga is called to-LOVE-ru (this is the actual title of the manga. If you spell out the title in japanese it means "trouble") and is the story about a boy who finds an alien in his home named Lala (she comes from the planet of Deviluke and they have a human appearance, the only difference is that they have a black tail and are stronger than humans) She is being pursued by people of her home planet because she is a runaway princess. Well...The story entails the adventures of the boy (Rito), Lala, and a bunch of other characters. When I first read it I thought it was hilarious. It was still very funny except the last few chapters. 162 leaves the story at somewhat of a cliffhanger. Rito tells his two main love interests that he loves both of them (idiot) -_-...And the last two pages basically say "Well, this is where the story ends, but it goes on..." And I just kind of sat there and was like...ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I hate endings like that. Oh well, off to find new stories and better endings. I've been waiting to do a blog on this song so long but I told myself I would only do it when to-LOVE-ru ended.

Everything You Want

Finished a manga today called Akuma Jiten. It had an alright ending, better than what I've read recently except for the last manga I read called Mayu Ayu in which I really enjoyed the ending. The story is basically about a girl demon named Milky Way who one day comes into the human world and meets a boy named Hiroyuki and wants to make him her servant. After some stuff he agrees to it. Comedy Romance junk, you know how it goes. Near the end there is like an ultimate showdown between Hiroyuki and the Demon Lord who both, yup you guessed it, love Milky Way. Which ends in Hiroyuki getting thrown off a cliff, I started laughing because that has to really stink. But Milky Way saves him and the Demon Lord decides to go away, marching off back to the "Netherworld." Well I wasn't very happy with that part I wanted blood and guts, ya know fight to the death so I was already bummed out about that. Then there was an ending that ok, I could have lived with it. But after that there was an epilogue which gave no hint at which way their relationship had gone...So I'm gonna be moping around for a while about that. I need to find another good manga but I've been reading one called Onidere which has shown much promise. For every manga I usually "assign" a song that I play when I start reading that manga. This started with either To-Love-ru or Ai Kora. I usually let the song just fall into place and I just think, wow this is great. Then I went through a short stint where I actually just picked out a song and was like, Ok this is this manga's song...That didn't go to well so I went back to the first style. I was on the last chapter and the song wasn't playing but yet I heard it in my head. I really like this song and I've been waiting for the perfect manga to put it to, guess I found it. The song is about a guy that does all the right things by this girl but she doesn't even notice him, GREAT song.

Pork and Beans

Today I went to the Bishop's storehouse and helped give food to people who need it. The Bishop's storehouse is like the foodbank. People fill out orders and then come to pick up their food. The shelves are lined just like a very small grocery store. Theres canned food, milk, eggs, fruits, vegetables, etc. My job most of the time was to stock the shelves when the food ran low. I stayed there from 8AM-2PM. Its tiring but you always feel like you've made a difference when you leave. One food that comes in a can are pork and beans. Whenever I see that this song always comes to mind. To me the song is about people doing what they want to do and not what others want them to do, or the world's standard of things. I seriously need to get back in the habit of doing this.
