Yes, I have a Japanese Pop culture addiction


From the manga Girls, be ambitious! by Aihara Miki. Cute, and I love the art, but personally I do prefer stories like Kimi wa petto and Happy Mania --I guess cause they are aimed at, er, young women instead of teenagers...I am so immature! But, seriously, generally written by women for women, so how can it be so bad for you?!

Curious, why not try a jdorama? A Japanese drama series usually runs around 11 episodes long with complete story line. Your fav Japanese actors and actresses, as well as idol and musicians are often found in more (far more) than one of these suckers. Very good, some of them (wanna cry? Try Summer Snow) and just different enough to be exotic and that much more exciting than, say, Men in Trees (omigod, yes, it's cute, Anne is cute, that dude and all the supporting characters are cute, but could it, say, move any freakin' slower. Is it a plot, or a concept mixed up with some place situations?).

PS - Anyone notice how I rigged the date on this post? I am so EVIL!
