KAMI-CON!

So this obsession has been an ongoing obsession for at least 3 years now, but considering I just went to Kami-Con yesterday, it just has to be my newest blog obsession. OK, so if you're a nerd, you'll know exactly what Kami-Con is, scratch that, if you're an anime nerd, you'll know exactly what Kami-Con is. For those of you, not in the "nerd-herd," it is quite simple to understand. Take all of the anime nerds in a close proximity and give them a whole weekend and a convention center then bribe us with free screenings of the most popular animes, cheaper mangas, and all sorts of anime merchandise at discounted prices and ta-da, you now have a Kami-Con. Not much different from Comic-Con or Dragon-Con, except Kami-Con revolves around anime characters. Of course, you'll always see your decked out Star Wars freaks, but then again who can deny that Star Wars is absolutely necessary for nerds of all kinds. Put Star Wars together with Vampire Knight, Death Note, Full Metal Alchemist, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, and all of the other great animes in the world and you've just made my whole year. Considering Kami-Con happens once every year.

Can't wait for next year!!!!

Stepping On Roses

Yay! New blog...I think I really need to seek medical attention. I think I might have a problem. Oh well, this newest blog I created is going to strictly revolve around my current obsessions, such as: movies, shows, mangas, animes, anything cultural, and music. I definitely can't do books since I already have a blog for that.

Anyway...my first post for this blog will be about my obsession with the manga Stepping On Roses by Rinko Ueda. This is the first manga I've read by her, but I am telling you it is absolutely amazing! I'm only on the third issue, but already, I've fell in and out of love with Nozomu and have fallen absolutley in love with Soichiro.

When I first started reading it, I kept making comparisons of Soichiro to my ultimate romance hero, Heathcliff. Nozomu was naturally Edgar Linton. The main character Sumi is no Catherine though, but really a sweet, poor girl who is forced to marry Soichiro for money when she really loves Nozomu. At first, I loved Nozomu too, but then he goes crazy and tries to kill himself and Sumi after kidnapping her from Soichiro. Thankfully, Soichiro saves Sumi and Nozomu, despite Nozomu's attempt to steal his best friend's wife. This is where Soichiro proved to me that he really loves Sumi and is actually a pretty decent guy.

I could blabber on for days at this rate. Hopefully, I'll get a new obsession soon and will be able to make a new post for this blog =).
