Loops

Nothing much else I did today. It's the holidays after all, and it's been quite uneventful. Today I was meant to go out to DFO but mother was too tired to go and so we all stayed home. Also maybe listen to this while you read, the theme song is so catchy I'll probably pick up the manga actually.


So instead of going out, I read A lollipop or a bullet, a short manga, and damn, that hit hard. It was so sad and even though I at least expected it, the tension built up really killed me. It was tragic really. I have a hard time remembering names so was it Mokuku? Her circumstances, wow, I felt really bad even though it was expected. But the fear of what her father was capable of- that was some great storytelling right there. Tear jerker, would have cried like a baby if I had the freedom to.

After that it was All you need is kill. I heard about the movie "The edge of tomorrow" but no much. I mean, hearing that an American adaptation was made for a manga? It was shocking when I first heard about it and once again I was interested in All you need is kill. I've seen people have it on their book shelves on the manga Reddit, but I never delved into it. I wasn't interested in mecha or brainless brawling. Like if it had some sort of deep meaning, no matter how cliche or whatever, I would go get it. Though I might change one day.

But All you need is kill was short and wasn't just brainless fighting. I didn't know there were going to be

*SPOILERS*

time loops and stuff. And the part where Rita was actually also stuck in a loop as well?? Amazing. But it was way too short. Apparently a light novel sequel is being written though. Hopefully the mangaka could pick that up too. Props to them as well since I recognised their art style, like was is death note or Bakuman? I'm really glad someone like them picked it up.

I hope the movie "the edge of tomorrow" is similar to the plot and they didn't change too much. I've read two comments about it and so far so good.


And ohmigod Ore Monogatari is so fucking sweet I just love it so.
