I just have to blog this.

A little over a week ago, I suddenly felt like downloading some manga [manga is plural, I believe]. So, I started looking for familiar titles. I’ve had enough of Naruto for now, so I browsed through my list for anything interesting. In the end, I decided to grab the Midori no Hibi and Tenjou Tenge manga.

I picked those two titles for a very simple reason: the anime was just not enough.

Seriously. I read a bit about every anime I have watched on various websites, especially wikipedia. One of the significant things I learnt is that there are usually a lot of story left out of the anime that was originally in the manga. I usually consider manga as canonical for any series [except maybe Full Metal Alchemist, lol], so this is quite a big deal for me.

Anyway, yesterday, the Midori no Hibi downlaod was complete, and after a long tiring day of studying and meeting lecturers, I decided to chill out with it. Little did I realise I was in for a major surprise.

It’s a full pack of 85 chapters in 8 volumes, and guess what? I finished all of it in one sitting. I just couldn’t stop reading! It’s got everything; romance, comedy, drama, action, lame jokes, hot chicks, ecchi, you name it. Although the ending is quite predictable, it still is quite heart-wrenching and it did leave me feeling very very satisfied [and a bit teary-eyed].

If you have watched the anime, and think the mere 13 episodes are enough, you’re DEAD wrong. There’s just so much characters and stories missing from the anime that make the entire manga worth the downloading.

If you love Midori no Hibi, you will absofuckinglutely love the manga. This one, I swear. Read it, you won’t regret it. I’ll talk about the Tenjou Tenge manga when its done, and if it satisfies me enough.
