Manga and Other Stuff

This is a bit off-topic but if you have not read Miki Falls by Mark Crilley and you are a girl then you better! It is a manga book so it's pictures all the way through and it's a series of 4 books.
It is all about a girl called Miki Yoshida who lives in Fukuyama in Japan. Ummm...Well, this is what the blurb says on the back of the first book, Spring.

Could this be the season for love? It's Spring - a time for new beginnings. This is Miki Yoshida's final year of High School, and she's determined to make it the best year yet. Miki is in control...
...until Hiro Sakurai shows up.
The tall, handsome new student is hiding something, and Miki wants to know what. As she breaks down Hiro's defences, she is unnerved about how much she cares about him. Too bad he's the one guy who can't care for her back. But Miki is falling for Hiro, and nothing's going to stop her from getting close to him - and his dangerous secret.

I will admit, it sounds very weird from the back, but trust me, it's GREAT. Mark Crilley's website is www.markcrilley.com and you should check out his youtube channel as well, where he does really good manga drawing tutorials.

By the way, just in case you hadn't noticed I am not Mark Crilley and I do not own any of his stuff. I am just someone who thinks he is a good illustrator...OK?

I love to draw manga stuff but I like pokemon best. Recently, I did a PERFECT Bulbasaur (even if I do say so myself) and a pretty good Team Rocket grunt. Yay me ^_^

Original Series!

Don't you just love the original series of the Pokemon anime? Misty's great in it because she is so different to May and Dawn. Different is good! My favourite episode is the one with Ditto and Duplica in it (sorry I can't remember the name). I especially love the mistakes and dub edits like when Brock says to Ash and Misty, "I'm hungry. Who wants a doughnut?" and he pulls some sushi out of his bag. HOW OBVIOUS IS THAT? Anyway, here is a cute picture.
