Book Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas (Potential Spoilers)

Rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 - 4.5/5 Title: Punk 57 Author: Penelope Douglas

Description: Two people become pen-pals when they were children. They had been inseparable even though they hadn’t met each other. Something happens and Misha stops replying although there were many efforts from Ryen to get him to do so. When Misha appears at the school under a different name, he knows who Ryen is, but she has no clue who she is, and she’s different than she described herself through their letters. 

Reason for rating: I actually really loved this book and thought that it was really original and well put together. You don’t read books nowadays that have pen pal situations so that’s what really got me going. The first half of the book, amazing. It had me enthralled, I wanted to flip through every page and get through it really quickly, I had made up my mind that I loved the book at that point. I loved the premise of being pen pals and not seeing each other and then getting to know each other the old fashioned way. The ending was predictable which knocked it down a star, but other than that, it was a great book that kept me flipping through every page.

CDrama Review: Love Scenery (Potential Spoilers)

Rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 - 4.5/5 Title: Love Scenery # of Episodes: 31

Description: So, what I’m about to say to describe this show may be considered a SPOILER, so I wouldn’t read ahead if you don’t want anything spoiled! Essentially, Liang Chen is a singer who will do anything she can to bring good music to her listeners and fans. She loves to promote being kind, loving, and “perfect”. Lu Jing loves computers, data, and playing an online game that he excels at. While they start as strangers, Liang Chen’s perseverance to do great at the game, and Lu Jing’s accomplishments at the game all come into play and the dynamic of the story pulls in different ways. Not to mention Lu Jing having been a huge fan of Liang Chen since the beginning, there’s no way that the girl he’s meant to train on this game to be good, is her, right? RIGHT?

Reason for Rating: I would give this show 4.5/5. This show definitely gave you all of the feels with you sitting at the edge of your seat, hoping your relation-”ships” became a reality. I do think that the amount of almosts are a bit much for even me, such as the amount of times the two main characters ALMOST met, ALMOST figured each other out, ALMOST got to that point, and the number of episodes prolonging the end were a bit much. I do love how every episode did have something for you to look forward to for the next episode, and no episode could go unnoticed as each one contained a question, an answer, or both! I think this was a good amount of suspense used loosely that’ll keep you laughing, and in your feels the whole time.

This movie focuses on the dynamics between 4 gay couples from different ages - There is a young boy hitting puberty, an adult man falling in love with his childhood buddy but refusing to accept his sexuality, an openly gay couple facing issues in their relationship and an old writer struggling to get round a young call boy. A must watch for any movie buff. #4moons #queermovie #gaymovie https://www.instagram.com/p/CJQ4pH1MW3c/?igshid=fpiursp13rne

Anime Review: Itazura Na Kiss (Potential Spoilers)

Rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌕 - 4/5 Title: Itazura Na Kiss/Playfull Kiss # of Episodes: 25

Description: This is about a high school girl named Kotoko Aihara who tells her crush Naoki that she’s in love with him and when he reads it, he laughs in her face, but she’s obviously very determined and won’t take that as an answer so she tries her hardest to prove to him that she loves him, along the way, a lot of things happen that help her get her chances to do so, and also a lot of things happen to them and between them that change who they are as people and change their relationship.

Reason for Rating: This show definitely had me feeling every emotion that the main characters were feeling. It was so strong I literally had to have tissues next to me the whole time because I cried A LOT throughout this show. I also laughed and I definitely shipped some couples together that came throughout the show. This was one of those shows that took a LONG time to watch, but was definitely worth it in every episode. It’s a solid 4/5 for me even though it isn’t my favorite Manga.

Anime Review: Say “I Love You” (Potential Spoilers)

Rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌕 - 4/5 Title: Say “I Love You”/Suki-tte ii na yo # of Episodes: 13

Description: This was actually the very first Anime that I watched and let me say, it did not disappoint in introducing me to the community! It’s such a cute little show. It’s about the main character Mei Tachibana. She’s socially awkward and she doesn’t really have any friends or anybody that she trusts because she feels that everybody will betray her, after an incident that happened when she was a child. Even though she’s like this, that doesn’t stop Yamato Kurosawa, a popular boy in school to befriend her and ultimately fall in love with her, and the show is basically about her blossoming, and the blossoming of their relationship. 

Reason for Rating: As I said above, I think this was the perfect show to introduce me into the Anime watching community. It was sweet, funny, witty, and it wasn’t too overly emotional to where I had to have tissues next to me the whole time. It actually did show some struggles that socially awkward people go through in life as well and how they have to work a little bit harder to get through life and relationships/friendships. I would consider it a solid 4/5.
