Liar Game 2nd Live-action film? I am so in. The 45th issue of Shueisha’s Weekly Young Jump magazine is announcing on Thursday that the 2nd live-action film will open on 3 March 2012.

Actor Shota Matsuda (Hana Yori Dango) will reprise his lead role as the genius Akiyama, while Mikako Tabe (Kimi ni Todoke) will play the heroine Yuu in a new game.

The manga itself will resume in the magazine in November.

Toda Erika was the heroine in the first two seasons and 1st live-action film. Strange that she won’t be appearing in the 2nd film!!

K-ON! Story Continues http://zotaku.com/2011/03/07/k-on-story-continues/ http://zotaku.com/2011/03/07/k-on-story-continues/#comments Mon, 07 Mar 2011 10:00:51 +0000 guuzen http://zotaku.com/?p=12724 So those 4 girls had successfully graduated from Sakuragaoka Girls’ High School and now you get to catch a glimpse of them in their college years!

Their college years will be published in the May issue of Houbunsha’s Manga Time Kirara magazine. That’s not all. Azusa, Ui and gang will be getting the same treatment, though they will be continuing their high school life in the June issue of Houbunsha’s Manga Time Kirara Carat magazine instead.

Can’t wait to see what happens to them next. I’m personally hoping for some sort of tear jerking reunion for the band.

Fairy Tail 27th Volume To Bundle Anime DVD http://zotaku.com/2011/02/19/fairy-tail-27th-volume-to-bundle-anime-dvd/ http://zotaku.com/2011/02/19/fairy-tail-27th-volume-to-bundle-anime-dvd/#comments Sat, 19 Feb 2011 07:01:34 +0000 zenical http://zotaku.com/?p=12516 The 27th volume of Fairy Tail will be bundled with the 2nd Anime DVD, as confirmed on Thursday on the official Japanese website. The volume will ship out on June 17. The DVD contains a 25-minute anime adaptation of the manga side story “Yousei Gakuen Yankee-kun to Yankee-chan”.

In the story, Mashima makes a parody of another Weekly Shonen Magazine manga, Miki Yoshikawa’s Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, by putting the Fairy Tail characters in a school comedy setting. The manga side story was published in the Sorceror booklet that was bundled with the limited edition of the 16th Fairy Tail manga volume.

Besides the DVD, the special edition of the 27th manga volume will include the original “Yōsei Gakuen Yankee-kun to Yankee-chan” manga side story in a separately bound booklet, as well as an exclusive alternate cover drawn by Mashima.

The first anime DVD will shipped out with the 26th manga volume on April 15.

You can preorder the follow volumes as stated below.

Manga Title: Fairy Tail Volume 26
Release Date: April 2011
Preorder at: CDJapan

Manga Title: Fairy Tail Volume 27
Release Date: June 2011
Preorder at: CDJapan

Too lazy to catch up reading on the manga – currently watching the anime series and so far each arc is quite long and draggy, but I am enjoying each episode! Doubt that I will bother to read the manga unless I am left with some major cliffhanger and I can’t wait till the next week  >_<.

Kimi ni Todoke Manga Still Well Received http://zotaku.com/2010/10/03/kimi-ni-todoke-manga-still-well-received/ http://zotaku.com/2010/10/03/kimi-ni-todoke-manga-still-well-received/#comments Sun, 03 Oct 2010 08:02:33 +0000 guuzen http://zotaku.com/?p=10672 Kimi ni Todoke has been doing really well and the reception is very good. And you know what? It continues to get better.

On Oricon’s weekly chart of the top 100 manga in Japan, all 12 volumes of the Kimi ni Todoke manga are on the chart with the recently released 12th volume in the #1 spot. It has already sold 570,979 copies in its first week sales which is the highest that the series has seen.

Since Oricon began publishing its book sales charts in 2008, every Kimi ni Todoke volume from the 6th one onward has ranked #1 during its first week of sales. The last seven volumes have collectively sold over 1 million copies.

I watched the anime last year and did not miss a single episode every week. After it ended this year, I could not wait for the second season to come so I went on to read the manga. I rarely read mangas because I prefer watching videos than frames of still pictures, so for me it says a lot about the series.

K-ON! Manga Ends This September http://zotaku.com/2010/08/08/k-on-manga-ends-this-september/ http://zotaku.com/2010/08/08/k-on-manga-ends-this-september/#comments Sat, 07 Aug 2010 16:01:13 +0000 zenical http://zotaku.com/?p=9471 Your favorite dosage of manga bits of the K-ON! girls might have helped you through the long working days since you started reading. However, in the September issue of Manga Time Kirara, it is said that K-ON! manga will officially come to an end in next month’s issue out this September 9.

Also announced is the fourth compiled book volume which will ship on September 27.

It is not known whether the story of K-ON! will end there, keep your hopes up.

K-ON!! also known as K-ON! Season 2 premiered in Japan on April 6. The animation series is scheduled to finish its run on September 28. So it seems that K-ON! is ending this September, manga and anime series. I am sad indeed.
