Finished Paradise Kiss. Overall its a good experience if you want to see a lot of romance cliches taken to their tragic conclusion. Its an interesting read, and for the most part not as depressing as it sounds. Although there are parts where I just wanted to shout "break up already" at the main couple. Though I admit the ending knocked me over. ( ending spoilers )
Deka Wanko
( more gibbering, not much spoilers )
Gokusen
I am rereading. I'm picking up on a lot of the jokes I'd forgotten over the years. Apparently the newest chapters are out, so I finally finished it (though I spoiled myself with the special). IDK, I really love this comic. Its just a chock full of ordinarily bizarre humor. Mostly low brow stuff, but occasionally some clever stuff. Its hard to describe. Kumiko is one of my favorite protags ever. Mostly because she reminds me of me, oddly enough. Though my life has a lot less awesome beatdowns. Watching the art style shift is also neat. I didin't even recognize chapter 1 Shin since his hair changes so much. Though the others are pretty recognizable since they aren't bishonen.
