... So that fic contest that my sock puppet was in a three-way tie for first? They're holding a Tie Breaker poll.
... The Tie Breaker poll is currently tied between all three fics. Four votes to each fic.
*rests head on the table and laughs*
Somehow, that is more awesome than it should be. ^_________^

Was gonna do a review of recently read manga but basically boils down to this:

La Corda D'oro - Eh. Pass.
Shibatora - Think Takagi stuck in Conan's body.
Pluto - Still Rocks our Socks
Zettai Karen Children - Good. Will be reading chapters as they come out!
Usagi Drop - Cute. Good small details about nursery and elementary schools in Japan.
Densha Otoko - GO READ THIS NOW.
Arata Kangatari - Eh. S'alright. Think it needs to grow into itself.

And randomly, Kaito's Humorscope for the day:
Gemini
Thirteen short bearded men will invade your living quarters soon, eat all your food, and drag you off on an ill-advised adventure, much to the amusement of an elderly gentleman of your acquaintance.
Cancer
You will be offered a chance to go on a journey soon. It sounds like fun, but you might benefit by looking up La Isla Zancudo in a Spanish-English dictionary before you pack your bags...

... that practically fics itself. ^__^

There are at least three Densha-otoko manga adaptations. Which one do you mean here...

[ickaimp.livejournal.com]

The one I linked to. That's one of the reasons why I linked to it. ^__^

SHIBATORAAAAAAA is so good. And Pluto too, but everyone should know that one. =D

Shibatora - Think Takagi stuck in Conan's body.
That's enough of a recommendation for me to go read it! XD

And I'll check out Densha Otoko. Sounds like I might like it.

Where're you finding shibatora? 'cos that sounds nifty.

If you haven't already you should definitely see the live action version of Densha Otaku- I saw that before I read the manga, and oh my goodness that was a gem. They did an excellent job with it, and it actually made it harder for me to read the manga simply because I loved the movie so much ^^ You should try to get your hands on it to watch it *wisenods* if you ever have a chance XP

Shibatora - read the first so-many chapters, seems okay
Pluto - haven't read
Zettai Karen Children - I first read the scanlations that came out years ago, which then disappointingly stopped... But then they started with the anime, and that's good too, it's way farther than the scanlations I've seen...
Usagi Drop - Very cool. Even though I can't read Japanese (at least, not yet), I bought the first novel of this during my vacation-trip to Japan
Densha Otoko - ??? I bought the first manga of this, and it just totally left me cold... Maybe I read a different version than you did...

Densha Otoko - GO READ THIS NOW.

I clicked on the link out of curiosity and ended up getting completely sucked in. I almost wish it was longer, but the way it ended was just so perfect!

Shibatora's interesting. And Shibata is HORRIBLY adorable...
