Dreams, Careers, Aspirations

Shutter Love











Ever loved taking photos? For Maki taking photos is as natural as breathing, yet she does not dream of becoming a pro. One day her carefree approach to photography is going to change, as she encounters a rival not only in taking photos...

Opinion
It was pretty unique, the story line...not the best. The art was beautiful. By the same mangaka who wrote Suppli.

See You In Eden









This is a story about Tamako's 3 years at an art highschool. It's a story about her struggle to improve her art and prove her worth and make difficult decisions about the future.

Opinion
No romance, but it was really nice. I felt at the end like I just had finished reading a long deep novel. The story gives you that feeling you get when you are about to leave high school and you don't know what awaits you afterwards.

Chuo-sen Cinema Paradise











A boy who was a child actor can no longer act without knowing "what it takes to be a good actor". For five years he looked for his answer. Will his encounter with a weird girl help him find it?

Shuukatsu!! - Kimi ni Naitei












This story is about a young woman who is in her last year of college and is job hunting...unsuccessfully. On her 50th job interview, she meets a guy who was also interviewing but was super confident and great during his interview. After bumping into him again later on the train she wonders if she will ever see him again because even though he slightly annoyed her, she couldn't help be mesmerized by him.

Opinion
I loooved it! LOOVED IT! Because it doesn't only focus only on the romance and I think it's a pretty original story line. =) But sorry if two volumes is not considered a one shot...

Mahou no Te ni Notte



The one thing in the world that Satsuki would like to do is become a hairstylist that could bring out the natural beauty of a person the way Hayama Ryuichi did. Determined, Satsuki decides to ask Ryuichi if she could work at his shop in order to learn the trade. Working besides her idol, she learns a bit more than hair-matters.

The Reverie of the Red Shoes









What happens when you trade your soul for material goods? Is there a way for redemption? A spin off from the classic tale "Red Shoes," this is the story of a woman's obsession with worldly goods and the consequences of that foolish desire.

Opinion
I don't even remember what happened anymore. It was either super super short or it didn't even leave an impression.

Fukugaeru










An office lady is kinda tired with the life she leads. She thinks back to a life changing decision she had to make in her past when her long time boyfriend asked her to marry him and she had to choose between being a house wife or her new job she was very passionate about. She chose the job instead of her boyfriend. But now she wonders if she made the right choice. She buys a frog statue at a store (since she collects frogs) and the frog comes to life and tells her that he will grant her wish!

Opinion
I liked it! Very different so very good! And it shows you how you should be satisfied with what you have.

Vitamin











By the manga-ka who wrote LIFE. This story deals with severe bullying. It's a manga for mature readers only. It's a very powerful story that will leave your heart shaken up. The heroine is filled with courage and strength.
After seeing her in a compromising position with her boyfriend, Sawako's classmates all turn against her. Even her close friends and her so called boyfriend. With a mother who expects only the best from her and a teacher who doesn't want to get his hands dirty, what will save Sawako when her life turns into a living hell?

Opinion
5 stars. Must read. Again, only for mature readers.
