mangaka

Ahh long time no updates. Here I am... Been itchy fingered and all pumped up to write a review on my favourite mangakas. I've only done a short review on minako narita and even that killed all my breath. I need ENERGY & PERSEVERANCE! Well the problem is, once I have a project idea in mind, I feel compelled to sit through the whole thing at one go until I see it properly finished with my own eyes. And how pathetic I am with my own idea of perfection. Thus writing reviews could be a physical n mental chore which takes eons to accomplish. One look at the past reviews I've done and I'd let out a heavy sigh. yes yes i'll finish it up. Samurai Champloo, Paranoia Agent, Cowboy Bebop, what not, all left half way undone coz I ran out of energy.

Here's a list of mangakas I plan to review
First comes the yaoi/shonen-ai/horror/mystery genre artists
However to list them apart from the 'mainstream' isn't meant to be a personal bias. Their fantastic art style and shocking storylines are just as appealing if not more grabbing.
