If I'd choose between being 'sexy seductive' or 'fabulous sexy', I'd prefer the latter just like this next rising femme artist who's got the the voice and the body to flaunt out anytime, anywhere!
Appearing in two of Timbaland's famous single, Chris Brown's current chart-topping song, and recognizable by her energy, get Keri'd away by R&B /hip hop singer-songwriter, Keri Hilson.

Your Right Hand as a Girlfriend?! Take it from Seiji!
Discover how one tough guy and an über shy girl could be an excellent pair in this funny and heart-warming anime called “Midori No Hibi” (Midori Days). By Joan Ison
Seiji Sawamura is a typical High School tough kid who likes getting into fights and would seem like it’s all he’s good at. Not only does he get into a lot of fights, but he wins a lot of ‘em as well. With his 'devil's right hand,' he takes down anyone who gets in his way. And like Sakuragi Hanamichi from Slam Dunk, people end up fearing them...not to mention girls whom they have a crush on! But that’s where Seiji’s REAL problem comes in. All he wants more than anything in the world is just to have a girlfriend, however, all the girls are afraid of him!
Well... except for super shy girl Midori Kasugano.
She has had a crush on Seiji for three years already but what seems to be the solution to Seiji’s girlfriend-problems, the dilemma now lies with Midori. I did say she was very shy right? All she can do is watch Seiji across the train platform every time he goes home. She could never muster the courage to tell him his feelings until tough guy Seiji and shy girl Midori’s fate intertwine and do I mean…literally intertwine!
To what seems as a very unconventional way to solve the two people’s problem, Seiji one day wakes up to find the horror of having his 'devil's right hand' turned into a miniature Midori!
Will Midori and Seiji end up together so their relationship can become more than what it was when she was his right-hand?! I wouldn’t want to give you all the spoilers so go and find out with your right hand what’s happened in this wacky and charming ‘believable’ story of Midori no Hibi.

Three new songs, three new LSS! Here are the songs that would make you absolutely hum along! =D
Starting of with Mayahiii, mayaho, mayaha-haaa! T.I. feat. Rihanna in Live Your Life! (Oh! Ay!)
...Got that tune playing in yer head now? XP Here's another one for the Remix with Llyod feat. Plies in the uber sexy song... Year of the lover~
Makes you wanna do some sexy time eh?! *Nudge nudge* Bwahahaha! >:) And last but not least, here's Shontelle singing sweetly in his boyfriend's Tshirt.
...With nothing but your t-shirt oooonnn...ehhh ayyy yooo! This is the year of the loover~ XD
All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.''
Everybody just keeps going back to that funny moment... In this case, funny vids! Below are some of my best funny youtube vids (for me), they just crack me up everytime i watch it! XD
First one is taken from TV comedy show Who'se Line Is It Anyway? under their segment "Sound Effects" where they call someone from the audience to act out the supposedly sound of what the actors on stage are going to portray. After watching this, i'm sure you're going to look for more of these vids!
Another favorite of mine is stand up comedian Pablo Francisco doing what he's good at: Making people laugh! Here's the impossible vid you haven't watched yet, Preview Man Parody.
There's also ventriloquist Jeff Dunham showing off Akmed The Dead Terrorist. I just died after watching this, so funny LMAO!XD "Shut up or I Kill yoooouuuu!!!" =))
For a short laugh, here's a seemingly funnier remix of it's original vid, Nintendo 64 Remix. That kid has some issues lol!
And there's more, involving socialite Paris Hilton who finally gets out of jail for DUI (drinking under influence). She's invited to The Late Night Show with David Letterman last 9/27/2007. You should see her face while being made fun off! Up until this time i don't know if i should pity her, but then again, she's Paris right? She would probably be the last person i'd pity LOL!
Lastly, here's our very own Micheal V., with his old song from the Gag Show Bubble Gang about DJ Bumbay.
"Porselanang arinola galing Pakistan, may factory defect sa loob yung hawakan break it down!" =))
Finally, the award winning TV show Heroes is back on it's third season! Seeing Peter Petrelli, Hiro Nakamura, Claire Bennet and the rest of the people with extraordinary abilities save the world (or destroy it) simple makes me want to discover my own abilities as well! (Yeah right, dream on! XD)
But I'm stuck here infront of the boobtube so I might as well watch the 5 episodes that are already out to-date! I got to watch the Countdown to the Premiere (Basically Episode 00) and discovered a cool fact about the show: For the fans, you're probably familiar with the Primatech Paper, the " Paper company" Noah Bennet works for. If you actually visit the website of that company www.primatechpaper.com, It's a matter of deviously looking for the link that would re-direct you to the official Heroes website!
Indeed it is a very interactive page with it's "content beyond TV", allowing viewers to watch the episodes, view photos of the cast, wallpapers, world tours, and the likes, and they also got this cool game where if you subscribe, you get a daily mysterious e-mail that you need to solve and possibly affect the outcome of the show! Now what does Sherlock Holmes got to say to that!
I recommend you watch the Countdown to the Premiere (specially if you're not yet a Heroes fan) and see sneak peeks, "how they did that", and many more that will make you watch out for in Heroes Volume 3! (I got to watch mine by downloading the video torrent here. =D)
"Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo isisiksik ang sarili mo kung wala nang pwesto para sayo. Eh meron namang hagdan, ayaw mo lng pansinin." - Bob Ong
"Mapuno man ang elevator, sigurado namang babalik ito, at darating ang panahon na magkakasya din ako..." - Juan Tamad
Admit it, even if you don't like "emo" songs, you still listen to them! Here are three latest songs under that category that might surprise you, your grandma starts humming to it too! XD
New band Secondhand Serenade debuts in the Billboard with their melancholic song, Fall For You.

Boys Like Girls feels like escaping the sorrow by escaping Thunder. Great hit as always!
And it's not all western here, here's Silent Sanctuary singing Kundiman, sweet sweet song. <3

Then There were Three... Project Runway Season 5 FINALE!
The top 3 designers finally showcased their works of art at Fashion Week held at Bryant Park, New York.
...So who will be crowned as America's new top designer for 2008?!
Will it be Leanne, the quiet and barely discernible designer, keen and has what it takes...
Korto, the African-American Mother who has found her calling in stitching and infuses her roots in her designs...
Or will it be Kenley, the 50's design-lover-and-sometimes rude-yet definitely has her own style and uniqueness when it comes to her designs?
And the winner is.... *drum roll* ... ... ...
LEANNE!!!
She has pin tucked and pleaded her way to winning the chance of a lifetime with her well-structured yet innovative and fashion forward designs through her "waves" inspiration!
Her final look is up for auction, to-date (Oct. 16, 2008 10:00pm)
it's already at $365 and there's still a week left before it closes!
See her lovely collection in photos or through video! (You can also see Kenley and Korto's designs at the links provided there too~)
Although I personally would have loved Jerell to be part of the top 3 and get to showcase his designs (and eventually win it), I still am a fan of Project Runway, now I want to become a model / photographer / designer! XD
(Oh and I love Season 4 better! Christian is just soooo fabulous!!! <3)
Everyone gets these things and confuses it with love when in realilty, the only thing in this world that covers up all pain and makes someone feel wonderful again is LOVE."
Ladies with the Bling! It ain't their man making the dough here!
…Beautiful, Sexy & Cool. If that’s not enough positive quality then the following girls can sing too! Here’s some femme fatale for you with my featured Music Highlights from some of the hottest Female artists to-date!
Hayden Panettiere a.k.a. ”The Cheerleader”
If her regenerating powers are not enough to stop her in Heroes as the Cheerleader, little Hayden ain’t little no more! “Save the Cheerleader, save the World” is what she’s known for. But now that she also sings… the world just got a whole lot better!
Here’s her superb song entitled Wake Up Call. (Listen well to the song guys! Really, do you want the time to come when we girls finally give you a Wake up call? ^_~v)
I loved her different looks in the vid! It just shows how she can still look pretty in any outfit. I also got a laugh from the boyfriend’s dumfounded reaction in the vid! Hah! Gotcha there babe! ;-P
Another recommended song from the same hottie, here’s My Hero is You. (I don’t know if this is the official video but it’s good as it is, makes me miss watching Heroes. =c) Super serenading song, her voice fits the melodrama of the song perfectly!
Pin-up Girl Katy Perry!
If I was a guy, I would probably drool over her! Really sexy with her Pin-up girl-like image, you gotta love her voice too! Here’s probably a lot of people’s LSS, I Kissed A Girl and I liked it… ;)
Now don’t go changin’ your mind by like a just by watching her next album single, Hot N Cold. (Notice Katy’s different facial emotions… it’s funny but she’s still so pretty!)
This video just reminded me of the movie Run Fatboy Run lol .XD
Next up is 16 year-old Barney & Friends actress, Selena Gomez who poses as a housemaid and sings Tell Me Something I Don’t Know.
The song is okay but the video could have been better, specially if she wanted to make an impact on the music industry. I like Demi Lovato better btw. XD I also got a laugh when I read a comment at this Youtube vid saying she has a squeaky voice and all... LOL! Come to think about it, she does sound a little mouse-ey. XD
My favorite female singer is back and she still rocks as ever! True enough, she's a rock star, she's got her rock moves... and she doesn’t need her “ex” husband, to let her know that! Here’s Pink with So What.
I was kinda surprised why Pink wanted Carey Hart to be in the video despite the divorce and all, (didn’t know?! Read here) but it’s good to know that no matter how tough-looking she wants to be, she’s still a women at heart and that just suits her so well!
I might be featuring what seems like all girly but it's impossible even for a guy not to hum to Natasha Bedingfield's Pocket Full of Sunshine!
And last but not least, Sri Lankan descent, M.I.A. sings Paper Planes, a song up that will make you go *bang bang bang* and *ka-chak* then *ka-ching!*. (listen to it and you’ll understand) XD
Do you have the guts?! …Read on and know why I literally want you guts. *Evil laugh* By Joan Ison (Soon-to-be-Awakened) Game! Rating: Monsterriffic!
“I have killed the Yoma.In three days time, a man in black suit will collect the fee.If you do not pay, we won’t help you anymore and leave your village to be ravaged by Yomas.”
It’s just another mission completed by the Claymores and this is their closing line to the villagers whom they helped rid of the flesh-eating monsters called Yoma.
And so before I give you spoilers about this extraordinary anime, here’s a little background about Claymore and why this anime should get the attention it deserves!
Originally a manga series written and illustrated by Nirihiro Yagi that came out on Monthly Shonen Jump Magazine (which later on came out as a weekly basis), the story can very much be appreciated by any anime otaku because of its horror/ supernatural/ dark fantasy genre.
Story & Setting
Claymore takes place in a fictional medieval world where humans coexists with creatures they call Yoma.
Basically, Yomas are sentient monsters that feed on human organs. They have the ability to shape shift into the image of the person they… ulp… eat, because by consuming their brain, they also gain that person’s memory and so is capable of disguising and acting human, living amongst them, only to shift back into their monstrous nature once they feed on their next victim.
A nameless and highly secretive organization has created a small army to protect humans from the gut-eating Yoma. They implant Yoma flesh and blood to humans, thus creating hybrids more powerful than the original Yoma. These trained warriors are thus called Claymore, after the immense Claymore weapon they wield. Villagers who are attacked by Yomas hire Claymores to kill it for them in exchange for a large fee.
The story of Claymore follows the adventures of Claymore warrior Clare who fights Yomas for the sake of preserving her own humanity...

What are you waiting for? Hurry up and awaken already!
If it's music you want, then it's music AND video you get!
Here are some OPM songs and their MTV's which i could say has BOTH a great song and WELL-MADE video in terms of graphics, concepts and the-like!
Starting off, here's one of my favorite bands, Urbandub with their song The Fight is Over. Freaky video but nonetheless super cool! (Reminds me of Rihanna's Disturbia. Again, Freaky... but cool. =D)
Other recommended songs by Urbandub: First of Summer, Guillotine, Alert the Armory and Evidence (to be tackled in future articles about this truly 'distubring' video.)
Note about the band: THEY ARE NOT EMO OKAY! 'Nuff said.
Like typical music vids, this one from KJWAN doesn't link much to the song and video. But heck, it's the beauty of it right? To be able to tell two stories with one song... 'righteous'! XD (Again it's another set-up of the 'freaky' kind of vid, but i find it well-made enough to give the band rights to make more of vids like this!
Then there's Bamboo with their song Probinsyana. Since they're mainstream enough, it's highly impossible you haven't seen the vid. But then again, here it is with such awesome effects and dance choreography, I see much much improvement!
Another mainstream band with a clean, cool vid, here's Procrastinator by Sandwich.
Parokya ni Edgar comes in with their funny song and video of Martyr Nyebera. PWWWWN!! Lol! XD
Ever heard any song from Radioactive Sago Project? Super cool vid animation, wide imagination. I can't say more. Watch it for yourselves and see if you're into... ALKOHOL.
Alkohol, alkohol, utak mo’y buhol-buhol~
Other recommended songs by RADIOACTIVE SAGO PROJECT: Astro
And last but not least, here's Bloomfields' ALE. (Sorry couldn't find a better video available)
Panalong mga Pinoy Vids diba?!
I'm glad Pinoy bands finally give effort to more "astig" vids. It just shows we're just as creative and talented in a lot of field!
If you have suggestions of other vids, just post a comment! Share it with us!
Coffee Jelly Frappuccino is not the only thing I PLAN to buy in Starbucks.
They finally released their Halloween Bearista Collectibles, and it's just sooo adorable it doesn't even scare me! XD
The Owl and the Pumpkin Bear Collectibles are soooo cuuuttteee!!!
Some of their previous Bearista Collectibles are the following: (Pics taken from http://community.livejournal.com/bearistas)
The "Bat bear" from 2007's Halloween collectibles
It's the "Year of the Rat" bear! (Didn't like it much but the nose was cute though! XD)
It's the V for Valentines day Bear couples! How i wish i got to buy them! :(
I don't know when this Butterfly bear came out. LOL! (But i did see stocks of it somewhere in SM MOA branch)
And the ultimate collectible of them all... the BEARISTA! =)
(Got my special someone that. ^_~)
Out also is the TOURISTA Bear wearing a green jacket with the Starbucks logo which could be easily mistaken as a La Salle fans during the UAAP Season with their banners and all! >__<"
These collectibles are unmistakably adorable yes, but they can burn a hole in your pocket too! They cost around 650 bucks or so... So if you're not really into bears with costumes, stick to your coffee. XD
Visit www.starbucks.com for more updates on their different products and or search via Ebay... they sell old collectibles!
Food + girls + the trade... that's KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL!
If you think food and humor goes best together, then you should watch Kitchen Confidential, an appetizing sitcom surely to make you laugh and go hungry from the 'cooking styles' of the people behind the gourmet foods!
This TV series released way back in 2005 (which i only got to watch through DVD this 2007), is the story of Jack Bourdain, a once famous chef who hits rock bottom for his simply 'unprofessional side-lines' including girld, drugs and that excessive lifestyle... BUT skills are skills, and so Jack is offered an opportunity to get back in the game as head chef at a top New York restaurant. There's just one problem: the owner gives Jack a mere 48 hours to fully staff his kitchen and prepare to dazzle over 300 customers - including the most evaluating food critics of NY. Starring Bradley Cooper as Jack Bourdain, Nicholas Brendon as Seth, John Daley as the bullied chef-wanna-be, Jaime King as Tanya... "the Blonde" waitress, and many more casts who complete the fun.
Kitchen Confidential was actually based on the serious novel nonfiction by American chef, Anthony Bourdain. I haven't read the book yet, but you can know more details about it with the help of wiki's article here!
Ironically, the series made me awfully sad after learning that it has only 1 season equivalent to 13 episodes! :( I don't know why the production stopped but I do hope to watch more of the chef's monkey business (which i think also happens in real life... Hey, Chefs have their own lives outside the stove too yah know! XP).
Unwind and let the chefs cook up their own punchlines in this "must-watch" sitcom! Hope you don't have a hard time finding a DVD or torrent file of this though. *Cough--QUIAPO--cough!* XD
Born "John Stephens" on Dec. 28, 1978, he is now better known as John Legend, the 5-time Grammy Award Winning American soul singer, song writer, pianist and all around music legend. Don't confuse him with John Lennon, but he sure is as good as him!
His genre, R&B / Neo soul may not be your typical Ne-yo or Chris Brown music but i find Legend's songs breaking that barrier between the youth and the not so young but still is an R&B fan, still getting one's feet tap to the rythm.
Legend's debut album Get Lifted was multi-platinum selling with the songs "Used to Love U" and "Ordinary People" back in 2004. He also sang hit songs with other famed artists such as SlumVillage ("Selfish", also featuring Kanye West), Jay-Z ("Encore"), and Dilated Peoples ("This Way", also featuring Kanye West). He also played piano on Lauryn Hill's "Everything is Everything"; and sang background vocals on Alicia Keys' "You Don't Know My Name" and Fort Minor's "High Road."
The first time I ever heard his song, I simply loved his overall musicality! If his biography and achievements I wrote above isn't enough to "wow" you, listen to the three songs i've featured here for you to get hooked to this R&B Legend!
First off, Here's "Save Room", my total LSS for all time!
"This just might hurt a little Love hurts sometimes when you do it right Don't be afraid of a little bit of pain Pleasure is on the other side
Let down your guard just a little I'll keep you safe in these arms of mine Hold on to me - pretty baby You will see I can be all you need"
This next one, "P.D.A. (We Just Don't Care)" was the song in the movie City of Gods. Total love song, truly something to fall inlove with!
Now he's back with an upcoming album entitled Evolver with more potential chart-breaking hits specifically with the song Green Light, really good... you're gonna thank me for making you listen to it! XD
This album is set to be released on October 28, 2008. Show your love for John Legend! Buy his Album! =)

A Manga review of Zettai Kareshi (Absolute Boyfriend)
For girls who think that they ugly, not so feminine (in terms of action) and “tit-less” (okay let’s not dig on that too far >.<”), your chances of getting the absolute boyfriend are… 100%!
Let’s take Riiko Izawa, a 16-year old girl with sadly, the above mentioned characteristics. She has been rejected by all the guys whom she confesses to. It’s like Hanamichi Sakuragi (Slam Dunk) or Seiji Sawamura (Midori no Hibi)... female version. Well, not in terms of being a deliquent feared by everybody. She’s just simply… not standing out.
One day, she picks up a dropped celphone in the park and talks to the person on the other line. It turns out to be the owner of the phone, a comical [cosplaying] salesman. His name is Gaku Namikiri who offers Riiko a lot of his different products. Riiko greatly resists the temptation of buying bosom-enlargement products (LOL)and says that he wants a boyfriend instead. Turns out, Gaku also sells one! He hands her a CD which contains a secret URL to the website called “Lovers Shop”, asking her to keep it an absolute secret. Riiko finds it all a joke but out of curiosity, tries “the three-day trial” of a stunningly handsome man labeled as “Nightly Series Type 01”. When she woke up the next day, her order is suddenly delivered to her home!
She opens up the big crate and out comes….a corpse-like naked man! XD
Horrified that the lover she “ordered” through the internet is true, she reads the ‘instruction manual’ where it says that the lover is just sleeping (Sheew!) and to wake it up, she must give him a kiss…
Never-been-kissed Riiko hesitantly does it and surprisingly does wake him up! And the figure’s first words are “Hello Girlfriend”!
Dumbfounded Riiko calls Gaku about this sudden madness who explains clearly that the kiss was to start-up and identify who the figure’s “lover” is that and that she did “order” the Nightly Series which is by it’s name, is a “Night lover”! (WTF! *Gulp!* Wooot! XD)
She has three days to “enjoy” him (evil laugh), Riiko and “Night” (the name she gave him) has done… NOTHING to Night’s purpose! >_<” She kept on hiding him at her home (her parents being on a trip for a while) and from his childhood neighbor Soushi Asamoto. And during Night’s stay with Riiko, she realizes that he is indeed the perfect boyfriend, handsome, loving, humorous, and everything a girl would wish for. Despite Night’s persistence at times that they make love, Riiko always declines saying that she wants to give it to her ‘true love’.
On the fourth day, Gaku then appears at her home to collect the payment for the “Night” since it’s already considered “SOLD” because Riiko didn’t return Night after the three day free trial! XD To her horror, Night costs… ¥100M because of Riiko’s input of the options she wanted for a boyfriend (e.g. handsome, kind, romantic, good at cooking, etc.) and all of those options totaled to ¥100M! LOL!
Gaku then explains that Night was actually meant to be a lover for rich women anyway. XD He can shoot ‘30 rounds a night’ which could lead to a mere mortal’s death! XD (This scene was really funny, I actually laughed my head off!) It is then revealed that Night is a ‘Figure’… a kind of human-like robot who can be transplanted with the options the buyer desires to be an ultimate “lover”. And because that reason, Riiko should not tell anyone about it (“Hi this is Night, he’s a robot!” …Get the gist? =.=”) or else pay ¥100M… in CASH. >___<”
But obviously given Riiko’s stature, she couldn’t afford to pay for him and thinks of getting a part-time job while Night insists that he works too to pay for his own cost as not to burden his ‘girlfriend’ (awww! XD). But her lifetime won’t seems to be enough to pay for Night so Gaku suggests that if Riiko offers her ‘services’ to his Company (Kronos Heavens), her payment would be waived. And her so called ‘services’? Not really to be one of the Lovers Series, but instead help Night collect data about women through his “control ring” to help the company understand what women want and eventually improve their “Lovers for sale”. (Do you really think men can fully understand us women?! XD)
The next chapters show how Night went to the same school as Riiko, (“A Good Place to collect data!” – Gaku) he swiftly gains the attention (and hearts) of (almost) all women because of his charming, dependable, intelligent, athletic, good-looking, and sensitive (not to mention devotion and loyalty to Riiko)traits. He even has his own fan club who doesn’t allow any girl to come near him! O_O” Given the situation that since the keep their relationship a secret, Riiko and Night are somehow parted and so the love triangle begins…
Riiko’s bestfriend, Mika Ito, falls inlove with Night. She actually knew their secret and tries different actions (such as seducing Night and framing Riiko) just to get her hands on his boyfriend. Yes, it is revealed in the manga that she is indeed a b*tch.
But that’s not all! Another revelation which is undeniably a character inlove with Riiko, It’s no other then her bestfriend since Highschool… Soushi! He cares for her so much that she keeps for her everyday, cleans up their house (at some instances) and is obviously jealous of Night! The catch? Soushi hasn’t revealed his true feelings for her, not until everything was too late…
The story progresses with Night developing ‘real emotions’, acting on his own (despite not being inputted in his system), and thus enabling him to truly LOVE Riiko. She who sees him once as just a mere ‘appliance’ eventually feels something for him.
Things get really sweet and painful when Night ‘malfunctions’ and breaks down. He is then taken back to the company and would be replaced for another Type 01. Riiko refuses, saying Night can’t be replaced and for some reason, Night was able to come back because he doesn’t want to leave his girlfriend alone… (awww).
Several attempts to capture and replace Type 01 were made by Kronos Company only to give up in the end when Night finally destroys the ring that “controls” and binds him with the company. Riiko also realizes that she doesn’t want to lose him. But just then, Soushi also finally confesses his love so she’s torn apart between the two guys she likes. An answer from her is demanded by Soushi as to who is the better boyfriend… her perfect ‘robot’ boyfriend or the human who has been there for her ever since they were kids and someone who she can grow old with...? =(
Now if it seems like you can’t wait to read Zettai Kareshi, you’ll cry in sheer love for the story when it unfortunately learn how it ends! If you don’t want to spoil the fun, don’t read the next paragraphs so go and read the 33 chapters of scantalations here!
As I was saying, if you’re really going through this paragraph, it’s a big spoiler if you haven’t read the manga yet since I’ll divulge who Riiko chose in the end.
Ready?
When Soushi confessed to Riiko, she finally gave the [unexpected] answer…
“I like you Soushi… but I’m sorry the one whom I want to be right now is with Night”!
My jaws drop and my heart feels the pain, (yeah yeah, so what if I’m so hooked?! XP) Riiko chooses the robot Night (whom I would have chosen too If I was her! ;-P) and so Soushi leaves for Spain (to join his Father), fully certain that Night can take care of his beloved Riiko.
At times she reminisces over her childhood friend and how she chose Night instead, but Riiko has no regrets and finally spends her days happily inlove with Night by his side.
…Until tragedy stikes.
Riiko and Night went out for a date and bought themselves identical rings as a sign of their love for each other. It was such a wonderful scene that could be carried off in death as the best memory of one’s life! …*starts to sniff*
For the past few days, Riiko has been noticing that Night is always sleepy. She asks him what’s the matter and he only says he’s just tired. He calls Gaku and they talk about something which is not shown in the manga. The next scene shows Riiko leaving the house for a while and notices Night sleeping in the couch. She kisses her and notices he’s not wearing their identical rings. Night wakes up and pulls her to him, gives her a passionate kiss and tells her “I love you… forever”.
My hands tremble at the turn of every page… the revelation is heartbreaking! Riiko comes home after a while only to find Gaku meside Night’s body… inside a corpse bag!
Night has ‘died’… his systems shut down.
Riiko in disbelief, touches his cold hands and kisses Night, hoping to ‘start him up’ like how she did the first time he met him... And as Riiko spends the next days being quiet, mourning over the loss of Night… A shadow embraces him, a warmth so familiar.
It’s Soushi who has has returned and is holding Night’s ring in his hands... Turns out, Night knew his condition and asked Gaku to send the ring and a note for Soushi telling him he’s counting on Soushi to make Riiko happy… and his final words for her is “Don’t cry anymore”… *Author bawls*
The wonderful story of Absolute Boyfriend ends with Riiko being able to be find true love, happiness with both man she loves and being loyal to only one.
Great thumbs up to my favorite manga artist Yuu Watase for making another favorite (Aside from Fushigi Yuugi)! FYI, There’s also a live series of Zettai Kareshi that was released in Fuji TV (year not mentioned in source http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Zettai_Kareshi). It has a total of 11 episodes and sorry but I really am not quite hot about watching it. >__<” *Author settles for manga still. Sniff.*
