Insert GASP! Here


Is that even the Amani Riku that I know? I thought it was just Allen Walker from D. Grayman replacing him while being kidnapped by Takao or something.

Dammit! How long is Tokyopop not going to answer?!

Tired that Tokyopop is keeping secrets on how long they're just going to keep World Embryo and not really translating the whole first two (and beyond) manga volumes at all, I'm going to make some summaries on each chapter Young King Ours had just released each month.

I got fed up on why Tokyopop hadn't set a release date for this, ever since they got the first two volumes and managed to file a threating lawsuit to one scanlation group *coughM7cough*on preventing them to scanlate further chapters, so starting somewhere in the beginning of July, I'm starting this whole World Embryo summary beginning with chapter 17 and make a new blog dedicated to my favourite manga-ka's work, just like Igadevil's Kamen Rider blog. Only you just have to deal with the Japanese kanji for now, until Tokyopop was ever bothered to release them.

And although I got the jist of the storyline a bit since chapter 17, there's some dialogue that are beyond my basic Japanese language skills and I need some very skilled people who can translate the RAW chapters, though not pretty much going as far as scanlating them in actual fact (I just want the whole summary). Or I can just guess what the characters are saying on my own and get the readers to correct me or something. So you readers better tell me which is the better choice! RIGHT NOW!

And Yes, He gets to Keep his Kanshu hair

Dammit! I knew I shouldn't skip chapter 17 on the World Embryo raw, but since that guy's forgot to add some seeds in the torrent, the only completed file that I can read is chapter 18 and there's a bit of a spoiler, but yes...

For fans waiting to see if Riku's hair has changed, since he got his weapon from his, uh 'dead friend', he still manages to keep his lovely (and sometimes sexy) Kanshu hair. And because of that, I made an icon for my blog (oh man! Sexy Kanshu boy + With his Smexy Glasses on = FULL DROOLAGE CONTROL XD). And if you want to see a sneak preview of tha manga chapter that I just found, just bear with me for a second.

EDIT - I manage to upload one of the pages of the World Embryo scans, but this is a minor spoiler to those who are too late to get the scanlations of the previous 16 chapters, so here it is and click the image for the full page of seeing Kanshu Boy again:

You can stop worrying about the hair issue now. Even when summoning his Jinki weapon, Riku can keep his Kanshu hair whether he's aware or not.

When imaging Sentai and Manga become Weird

Just yesterday, I just watched over a half of that dark live-action Tokusatsu Japanese show, GARO and it was some sort amazing to my brain on how I can compare easily on the main character to another character from a manga.

GARO's Kouga Saejima is a bit like World Embryo's Takao, only with a few minor differences in terms of their goals and appearances. But they draw some amazing parallels between them:

  • Both of them are cold-hearted and emotionless on the outside, but on the inside, they have a heart of a nobleman.
  • Both of them wore light-coloured coats (though slightly different in their colour) to show their badass side.
Come to think of it, the more I think about these two, the more I want to explore Takao's past, as well as exploring Kouga's relationship with the female lead, Kaoru Mitsuki. It's strange to compare a live-action character to a character that only exists on paper, but it is very interesting to find out there some similarities.

Great, now I've been infected to read World Embryo again!

Quote of the moment - "EH?! You say that Gundam Musou exists?!" - Me in shock, when finding out that Koei and Namco Bandai announced they'll be releasing Gundam Musou. It's like Dynasty Warriors characters playing too much with Gundam models.
