You Need a Break!

Are you tired of working in you life? Manga is not only for teenagers, but also for mid - aged.
There are some manga for mid -aged. Some of them are for men, and some of the others are for women. If you want to relax, just read them!


Girls' manga is usually about high school love, but for mid - aged women, most of them are about office love. I don't know why, but girls' and women's manga are often about romance! However, for boys and men, most of all are about erotic.





My mom likes reading manga. When she has free time, she often read manga for having fun. So, don't think it's terrible or foolish. Manga can make you fun. You can forget how long do you spend time to read manga.


As I mentioned, most of manga for men are erotic, some manga for women are also erotic. But, those are totally different! Why? Because erotic manga for men are really realistic. Some of erotic manga for women also realistic, but most of those are not. For women, they're included a lot of drama.





After all, when you want to relax, you can read manga to forget about real life.

How Lovely These Are

I’m a 21 year old student. I like to read romance manga, so my selections are all romance stories. Here are my top ten comics. It’s difficult to decide, but those are my favourite selections.




Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai ~I’m not an Angel~
I already talked about this comic, this is my favourite. It’s about high school love. I like love stories, so this story is superior for me.









NANA
NANA is the name of the two main characters. This is a love and rock band story. One plays in a rock band, the other has several part time job. They met on the train on the way to Tokyo. They became close to each other, but they said good bye when the train arrived. A few days later, they are looking for the apartment by themselves. Incidentally, they found same room. From there, the story starts. As time goes by, they get closed and they have many problems, but they solve together. This story includes love. Both Nanas have boyfriends, and it occurs problems.










Kyou Koi Wo Hajimemasu ~I Start Love From Today~
Tsubaki Hibino, one of the main characters, met Kyota Tsubaki at the entrance ceremony of high school. They have a same name and they are in same class. First she hates Kyota because he is smart, but he doesn’t look smart. As time goes by, she notices that she falls in love with him. After that, they are getting closer. The comics are still continuing, so I have to wait for comics to be published.









Kare First Love ~He is My First Love~
The girl, Karin Karino, is a high school student. She is afraid of men, so she chose a girls’ school. One day, she met a guy, Aoi Kiriya, on a train. He whispered to her that she is too shy. She wears glasses, a long skirt, and pigtails. When she heard that she got angry. She thinks she never wants to see him, but they meet at party again. At the party she got drunk, and then she stayed at his apartment accidentally. Next morning, when he sees her without glasses and untied hair, he falls in love with her. She ignores him at first, but after a few days she feels she also loves him.











Good Morning Call
Nao is a junior high school student. Her family has to move to another city because of her father’s job. However, she doesn’t want to. They talk a lot, and they decide not to bring her. When Nao arrives at the new apartment, a guy is already there. His name is Hisashi, he also got a lease for the same room. They decide to live together. After few months, they fall in love with each other.










Have you found anything interesting?? If you find something interesting, you should check one! I like those arts, too. When I read romance manga, I feel really pure. So whenever you want to feel pure, read romance manga!

Killing Time

When do you usually read manga? Have you ever tried? If you think that it’s childish, you are wrong. Once you find an interesting story, you can’t stop reading!



I usually read manga when I have free time, before I go to bed. My mom is 50 years old, but she really likes manga. When I buy the first manga of a series, and if she likes it, she buys all of the other series. I can’t stop reading, but also she can’t stop reading.



When I read manga, I don’t feel anything, such as hunger, sleepiness. So, I can continue to read. Once I start reading, I can’t stop until the story finishes.




Now do you have some interest in manga? In Japan, there are many internet cafés. They are not same as cafés in foreign countries. They have manga space! There are many kinds of comic books and you can read whatever you want. Moreover, soft drinks are for free and sometimes the café provides some snacks, miso soup. The price depends on the café and how long you stay, but it’s not so expensive. They are reasonable. For example, I searched one internet café: three hours is $9.80, and 10 hours is $25. It’s cheap, right? They include 44 kinds of free drinks. You can read manga all day long without going out!









How do you feel manga now? Do you want to start reading? You should try to find your favourite!

Do You Have...?

I recommend reading manga. It is interesting and fun. What do you think about comics? These are for kids or teenagers? It’s wrong! Every generation can enjoy manga. Have you ever read comics? You may watch cartoons on TV. Manga is like them. I suggest One Manga to read comics. This website can read a lot of manga for free. It’s really good for killing time.








Do you like romance? Or do you like action? Also do you like sports? Comics have all of them. I like romance, so I usually read romance stories. However, there are other categories, so you can choose whatever you like. Sometimes I read about baseball, volleyball, tennis, boxing, and soccer. They are also fun and exciting.




How do you kill time? You just lay down on the couch? Walking around? Then, you should try manga! As I mentioned, manga is really good for killing time. If you are bored, you should start reading! First, go to One Manga, then choose your favourite. Besides you, you’d better to prepare snacks, drinks, and cigarettes.

Please Grant His Dream

I really don’t know about baseball. I don’t watch baseball game on TV, I don’t have any brother who plays baseball. But, I like this comic.
The comic title is Touch. This is an old manga about baseball. The comic has three main characters: Tatsuya, Kazuya, and Minami. Tatsuya and Kazuya are twins, and Minami lives next door.



They are high school students, Tatsuya is always lazy, Kazuya is good at everything, and Minami is also good at everything.
Kazuya is in a baseball club. Kazuya is the starting member of the game of district competition for Koshien (the biggest competition for high school baseball player in summer). But when Kazuya is on the way to the dome, he is involved in a car accident. He died. After he died, Tatsuya start playing baseball, instead of Kazuya. Kazuya wanted to go to Koshien, so Tatsuya wants to grant that dream with Minami.




The title of this comic has a reason. After Kazuya died, he passed the baton to Tatsuya. Kazuya had a dream that he will go to Koshien with Minami, but he couldn’t do that, so he passes the baton to Tatsuya, and then Tatsuya started playing baseball.



Tatsuya had conflicts with Kazuya, but when he starts baseball, he becomes stronger. I’ve read these comics again and again. Moreover, I watched the anime. These are excellent story. You should read once!

I Wanna Be His...

My favorite category is romance story. I especially like romance set in high school. The targets of girls’ comics are high school students. So, their stories are usually about high school students.






I have been reading Kimi ni Todoke ~Reaching You~ since I was a college student. This story is about high school life. The main character is called “Sadako” like in the movie The Ring, but her name is actually Sawako. Her character is negative and dark. So, classmates call her “Sadako”.







One day, Kazehaya, a classmate, wants to become friends with Sawako. After they get close, her friends increase. Before she makes friends, there are some rumours, such as she can talk with ghost. When she gets some friends, they help to resolve her problems.






Kazehaya loves Sawako, but she doesn’t notice anything. However, Sawako also likes Kazahaya. She is too shy about that kind of thing. So, he always tries to get closer. People who surround them know both their feelings. They always try to get together, but Sawako always misunderstands their conspiracy.






When I read this comic, I can be a pure girl. Sawako’s personality is shy and pure. Then, she doesn’t know anything. I really enjoy these comics. This story hasn’t finished yet, it continues monthly. I can’t wait for the next chapter!

If You Have a Dream...

Do you have any wishes? If you were granted three wishes, what would you ask? Koucha Ouji ~Tea Prince~ is a comic where tea princes grant any three wishes.








There is a superstition in England. At exactly 12 am, if you pour Darjeeling tea in a white cup, you will see a moon shadow in the bottom of the cup. If you use a silver spoon to stir it softly, a miracle will happen. And then, you can see the Prince of Tea. One day, Taiko, Haruka, and Someko had a midnight tea party. They are junior high school students. When Someko hears that tale, they have a midnight tea party on the roof of their school. Taiko drank Earl Grey tea, Haruka drank Assam tea, and Someko drank Darjeeling tea. Except Someko, Tea Princes show up.





First, Taiko, Haruka, and Someko are shocked, but they befriend tea princes. They start their life together and Taiko and Haruka begin to look for their three wishes. As time goes by, Taiko and Assam (Assam Tea Prince) fall in love each other. However Assam must go to his country after granting Haruka’s wishes. So, both of them don’t tell their feelings to each other.






This story is really good love story. Assam loves Taiko and Taiko also loves, but Haruka also loves Taiko. Haruka is master of Assam. Assam thinks about that too much, and he denies Taiko. They struggle to have good relationship with each other. If you have an opportunity like that, what will you wish?
