Should I Have A Bath Before I Wax My Legs

Mishōzo Sakura - Completed

Yes, tonight, exactly at midnight I published the last page of Sakura Mishōzo , my short but intense personal trotted gekiga in general.

like everything that I finish, the general conclusion and to the course of the series are quite derailed from my original intention: in fact the figure of Mitsubachi should not have anything "screentime", and the plot was simply focused on the relationship between Ranmaru and Nobunaga - Then the other characters and the "minimum plot" ninja have taken over, and now I am not so sure what the heck has become

XD If you have not already done so, please , read it.
I want to know your opinion in general: 3

Ah, I warn you that there are some suggestive content and heavily YAOI SHOT.
- But even if you do not like the same kinds read it XD

Brazilian Wax Itches Like Crazy

- GUTTED IN PARADISE!

- messed up my original plans, I am here to speak to de Kakugo no Susume (Recommendation for Kakugo ", made in 'Italian edition with the least emblematic The Fate of Kakugo ), the only work of Yamaguchi that reached in Italy over the immense Shigurui issued by Dynamic in the winter of 1998 ... And how to summarize my reaction once the reading without paraphrase another review (this negative, for mere parcondicio telematics) found on the web: What

figaaaataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! What FIGAAAATAAAAAAAA!

But let us proceed with order. Despite
in Italy is famous for Shigurui , historical drama tones pulp, Yamaguchi is relatively famous in his homeland for the sci-fi vein, usually agglomerated to themes, precisely, or simply samuraiesche folk flavor. Even
Kakugo , dated 1994, belongs into this category, the series is a mix of styles sentai ("the superhero in disguise"), post-apocalyptic ("We are at the end of the XXI century -") filled with samurai ethics and grotesque. There is a series
easy, and it is certainly difficult to analyze where you do not pretend to indulge in reading, considering it simplistic and narrow-minded. However
Kakugo is not a simplistic work, and despite the facetious tone is full of interesting thoughts.
First, Yamaguchi is one who loves to see good triumph ( Shigurui apart ... But there is already dancing in the sting Norio Nanjo anticlockwise). Endows his characters with superhuman abilities and moral ethics the edge of paradox, is an author who loves carnality, and loves to overlay the physical sacrifice to quench spiritual welcomes a certain irony and modern criticism, but then always gives us the love story with a happy ending and the final "and they all lived happily ever after."
In many respects, Yamaguchi is very similar to Nagai, and at various points, even Kakugo has many affinities with the manga Devilman , where, however, differ completely in purpose end: If Nagai concluded its work with a final basic message was the lack of communication between Good and Evil in spite of the substantial similarities, Yamaguchi says that it is for the "good" is not only punish, but first try to "redeem", because everyone's fundamental goodness and thirst for justice, even in those who do evil.
That said, however, Kakugo is above all a satire continues on most modern trends, which provides counterpoint to the anachronistic ethic of bushido, but always fascinating, not surprisingly, the main character is reflected in the ethics dell'Hagakure ( which of course is his last name), written during his warm times of peace the Edo period as a protest to the character "effeminate" of the warrior class of the day: where the luxury life suggested a long and soiled from commercial practices, Yamamoto called exaltation death, suffering and "hard work" without an ineffable sense of fundamental nihilism: this contrasts here Kakugo strict "internal martial law" in disarray and the criminal excesses of the "enemies" of the myths that embody your (love, longevity, compassion, individuality ...) is not false to the intrinsic qualities, but because interpreted with obsessive perversion, thus making "tangible threat" to the human race that is their "food."

Another interesting factor is the binding of Kakugo with their armor, Zero.
As in other sci-fi series of purely Japanese style, from Kamen Rider in Guyver, the 'hero' is such Kakugo depending on his armor or "disguise" to get the 'approval' armor to be worn is in fact the latest evidence that sanctions Kakugo a "worthy warrior" in culmination of years of hard work and sacrifice. This is a sentient armor
found interesting to put on it is just a phase, which must lead the souls of Kakugo and Zero on the same line, the approval of the armature has a something of which to obtain the epic ' mythical object was not only a test of strength but above all virtues, it suffices to note about the legend of King Arthur.
Therefore, what protects Kakugo Zero is not just physically, but also his inner-usually we use the metaphor of an "outer shell" outside when we want to describe someone who seems invincible but in the end a vile and petty mind, here is the armor instead of pure and true manifestation of what is inside: as well as protects the Zero ' Kakugo of interiority, and then his soul, so is almost Mishima tribute above all to the classic match between form and substance to the 'ideal' heroic, just married here in the shape of a being that combines a superhuman with superhuman strength and moral ethics. Since

Kakugo a product and optimistic moralizing even in its most grotesque, among other apologies to the courage, hope and need to adhere to an ideal of goodness, no one could dispense with their say on the subject of love.
The 'love', understood in a purely romantic tone, it has a special treatment in this story initially, Kakugo refuses to admit their feelings for Tsumiko because this would run counter to its mission, which obviously has no place for mere individualism.
But later, the feelings of Kakugo become clear and strong, so much so that at last the boy is forced not only to outsiders, but also to fight for them, with total disappointment Zero itself.
We saw in the "demons" introductory manga representations of "jokes" were turned into human obsessions and therefore dangerous enemies, including love and sex are the masters, and they occur at ridiculous figures stuffed with individualism and egotism, the warrior ethic that eventually the conviction is not the love itself, feeling healthy and human being who makes the world go on, if only in a genetic sense, but the exaltation of blind and oppressive of their instincts, the need to satisfy their own selfish needs before those of the beloved: Kakugo is determined to sacrifice his life for the salvation of Tsumiko, of course, thanks to his sacrifice, by virtue of the purity of her feelings, she will be able to "awaken" the evil "spell" of the enemy: the "reality" of Tsumiko Demon Fighter is in fact only an appearance and surface Kakugo and his comrades know that the essence of Tsumiko, just like a warrior, is immutable. After this introduction pretext

two decades about the plot and then analyze the table with some of my favorites ^ o ^
Uhm ... Ok. We
around 2015 on that of Neo-Tokyo and the planet Earth is a disgusting: polluted and poisonous to the point where baths are provided "disinfection" to prevent the population to get sick just by breathing, horrifying insects seem to rule the world where the terrible "Combat Demons" does not make their appearances / Banquet looking for some human to be muttered.
Single institution still seems to be running the school, where kids can interact with normal, defend one another in dangerous falls at home and especially hope to be able to build a future. One fine day
makes its appearance in the Institute of High School Gyakujuji a new student, quiet and serious, Kakugo Hagakure, which conceals the identity of Zero, the Humanoid Combat Weapon.
Task Kakugo / Zero is to defend the weak with his superior martial techniques, residual post-war dear grandfather of Shiro, a terrible war criminal who developed gingillagine all of which is attached to the family at the expense of millions of Hagakure innocent victims (among other things, I Shiro must explain why the experiments carried out in China, implying that uses civilians and enemy soldiers as guinea pigs but in the end the victims seem to be just and only the Japanese themselves -).
denying the perverse practices and ideals of his grandfather, Oboro, the father of Kakugo and Harar, he coached children from her beloved children, with the ultimate goal of making honest warriors in the service of humanity and justice. Oboro
children first began the practice of the Martial biozero, then the strength training through the metal ball biozero and, as a last gift of an uncomfortable legacy, it gives the two Exoskeletons of Empowerment.
The exoskeletons are sentient armor, so with souls souls full of bitterness as from the victims sacrificed for their creation, and synchronize "to be accepted by them is virtually impossible, and Oboro is well aware of the risk faced by their children.
Kakugo, with his gentle soul and sympathetic Zero wins, his armor, the first offering from the warmth of your body, and later a repairman seppuku after hearing the terrible truth behind its creation.
Harari, the gifted and handsome older brother Kakugo however, must contend with the much more rancorous Kasumi: possessed by the spirit of a mother "died of hatred" after her child had been sacrificed to create the pretext of armor 'Using "Pure material," Kasumi hates gender and human and even more people: after having been cut to pieces by the entrails of Kasumi, Harari accepts the challenge and "recomposed" (with the help of the Spheres) in a female body , stating that he also shares the hatred of the wretched human beings: Kasumi and Harar make an oath of vengeance.
After realizing the intentions of Harar, Oboro tries to kill him, but worse on the unique abilities of the child, and since then Kakugo has promised to kill his brother (Harari has a female body and speaks of himself using the feminine, but it is undoubtedly a "male"), representative of human perversion, and his feeling was reinforced after becoming aware the fact that behind the attacks of demons Combat is just Harari, who leads the troops monstrous calls himself "The Human Devil."
While the fighting and proceed one at a time the thugs of Harar fall under the force of spirit and colossal ass Kakugo barrels, we begin to look even Harari and his point of view in a not-so-obvious: the same author in final fight where the two brothers face each said that the two are custodians of "Two Truths" equally legitimate: Kakugo where is the human dignity, Harar has been targeted at protecting the dignity of all creation, man always walked to his inherent selfishness and violence. At
Kakugo has the upper end is up at that Kasumi Harar, which frees our hearts from hatred and violence which blinded them both, with acts of mercy and humanity before violence.
But there is no time to breathe Kakugo and Co. already have to cope with an unexpected new enemy, nientepocodimenoche Hagakure Shiro in the flesh!
Shiro has returned to implement his delusional dream of Empire, but is blocked by Kakugo and Harar, and after the ultimate sacrifice of his advisor has now been brought back to life from his flesh.
The two brothers then, having finally reconciled agree to cooperate in creating a new world where the hopes of finally Humans can develop in the shadow of the safety and happiness.

.. Now straight yarn on my favorite scenes:

Tsumiko is the chubby female protagonist, with a generous spirit and kind and madly in love with Kakugo (naturally reciprocated, but in modest reserve).
E 'apparently modeled on the singer Mitsuko Horie, which is the primary source of inspiration and that is the seiyuu nell'OVA.
After suffering a blow in the stomach by Zero, the Demon Combat duty svomitazza his human meal - Among the dead one, however, is not dead yet!
Tsumiko and others recognize their classmate, who, dying, he complains of the cold and pain ... Tsumiko instinctively running toward the boy, and despite the stomach acid burning the skin and clothing, keep in a warm embrace, comforting him with words of support in his last minutes of life.
It 's a scene that touches profoundly Kakugo, which is even more convinced that defending human beings is good.


In this scene Oboro "shoot" the metal balls biozero in the body of his children: the pain of a single sphere is capable of killing a human being, but Kakugo accepts as many as 8 in himself, his father ringranziando gift of blood and vomit.
Harari claims that, as elder brother, should have at least twice, and not satisfied with the pain calls his father to shoot from distance still closer: Harari is a member of the family Hagakure with more balls implanted in the body.
"The true warrior is not enough to overcome the pain, the true warrior fights to dominate."

Here, a special Kakugo / Zero because Zero is clearly gay and Kakugo for both:

Kakugo, not knowing how to approach the armor decides to communicate with Zero sharing with him the warmth of her body. After
private warmth until he dropped into a state of unconsciousness, finally Zero "opens" to test the spirit of the boy.


Shocked and moved by the misfortunes of Zero, Kakugo to make himself worthy of his tasks is to achieve the same level of suffering by committing seppuku, and then beheaded: the souls of dead warriors who live in 4000 Zero are so touched by the kindness and generosity of light Kakugo to accept it with enthusiasm and strong emotion.



two pages in which the emphasis is to taste the sexual union between Kakugo and Zero, in the manga there are the beats of the classmates of Kakugo about it.


Another fanservice.

But we must not think that acts of devotion only concern Kakugo.
In this scene, another of my favorites, Zero puts his devotion before his own happiness:


After being exorcised by an enemy, Zero finds himself in Heaven.
With a unique and perfect body, assisting the peace of paradise, a place where souls are completed, and love forever.
However, when other souls are close to him to make him share in eternal peace, he contemptuously away: "I am a soldier I do not want happiness, I want to do my duty and my duty is to restore peace in desolate world inhabited by Kakugo! " , and commits seppuku, defile and saying goodbye forever to the salvation of his soul.


Epilogue of the previous scene: Zero Kakugo back to find him and to support the exhausted body of the beloved Mitsuko; disgusted by the weakness of his partner asks him how dare a female preference for the salvation of the duty for which he has sacrificed his soul, and Kakugo, after laying on a Tsumiko giacilio essersene and safety assessments, strips and responds "Words are not enough to express what I feel! will be the answer to my own body!" and the two finally reunite

~ And finally, we can not say a few words to the adorable Harari / Kakugo :

Surprisingly, affected by the significant progress Kakugo, Harari decided to make one of his vassal, bending to him with the power of a kiss.
The thing ends with a stalemate, because the thought of Kakugo Tsumiko to prevent Harar creep into his psyche, but these boards sent me into raptures * _ *


A nice metaphor in the final battle between samurai Kakugo and Harar in the eyes of Tsumiko.


"Killing people ... I wish this had been the last time."
Harari melts, Kasumi unfortunately no Q:
The bloody embrace between the two is simply adorable.

Harar is also an interesting character, but I noticed a discrepancy in the fundamental its characterization, giving the idea that, compared to the final, Yamaguchi has begun Kakugo with a clear set of "work in progress". Indeed, if initially
the author's position is quite clear in defining the reasons of Harar in the series and nell'esplicarle Yamaguchi goes around in football.
In the opening chapters dedicated to the betrayal of Harar in fact, what I deduced from his behavior is that he and Kasumi have rejected the teachings of Oboro because they clash with the initial reasons for the imposition of arms biozero.
"Who mastered the martial art biozero has been chosen by Sky and has a duty to use his power to restore the beauty and order in the world "is what Harari cries of his brother at a time when he proclaims his loyalty to the ideals of his father.
background appears Shiro Hagakure, to testify that Harari did his grandfather's teachings.
Instead, later, Harari will be represented like Satan devilman, on the side of the Demons and the Combat against humans, hated for their cowardice and the culmination of which is just the hated Shiro, a source of hatred which is driven by superhuman Kasumi the same, in a kind of junk eco-terrorism.
Only in the final fight against Kakugo, especially after the sacrifice of trusted Rai and dell'impavido Bolt, Harari has begun to be represented under the light of a character "with a thirst for equal justice in Kakugo" reprehensible and hardly ... About the

Kakugo reviews that are around me is pretty simple disagree on several points, offered as a leitmotif of the series: the first is that of Bushido; usually purports to explain all the work as a post-modern homage to bushido, while certainly references to bushido, in its most decadent dell'Hagakure are obviously present, to venture that the whole work revolves around it is a little bold and simplistic, in fact Kakugo also praises the spirit of simple ordinary people and how they are those in whose hands is the salvation of the Earth: "biozero is a martial art. biozero gives death. biozero stifles the breath, stop the heart, tearing the meat. but also can spend a hundred or a thousand years, biozero will leave behind only a river of blood and a mountain of corpses. The whole of humanity struggle in the dark deep of this planet destroyed. I'll never know take her out of this sea of \u200b\u200bdarkness. But you're able to do it! " admits Kakugo Tsumiko beloved.
Another point to clarify is the apology to the alleged "fascism", perceived by some readers suggested, and abundance of greetings martial warriors and ideals of sacrifice and selflessness.
I think if that were the case would given more importance to the role of Shiro Hagakure, the most "fascists" of the series and not coincidentally the only true "absolute evil".
's goal is to bring glory to Shiro Japan and the emperor, objectives or never even mentioned by Kakugo Harari, concentrated towards more absolute and anachronistic ideals of vulgar nationalism.
also interesting to note that, as the samurai ethic is based on hierarchy and obedience to his master one face of the cardinal points, and Harari Kakugo that in itself does not have any "master", and act motivated by a strong moral temperament staff rather than 'orders' imparted to him by a superior.
Of course, one could use as Oboro and Kasumi deferens of the two, but I believe that the role played by these figures is more traditional and strictly hierarchical motivational.

- And ok, that's all. Sorry for the post
unprofessional, but I really loved this series ... Melts at a disarmingly simple moral un'efferatezza equally disarming.
great.

Way of the Samurai in comparison -

As I mentioned recently, I've got the economic versioncine Gorin no Sho (The Book of Five Rings) by Miyamoto Musashi and Hagakure ("Hidden in the Leaves") Tsunetomo of Yamamoto (also known as Jouchou Yamamoto, for example in the commentary to which I will talk about Mishima maybe tomorrow or the next day). A
purchase a little late (I had promised to get hold of the Book of Five Rings already when I read the novel Musashi by Eiji Ishikawa , but for one reason or another I have always deferred in the name of new interests or costs more urgent), but of course only right given my passion for Japan, especially in the sphere martial. Today I
intratterò then talk a little in these two books, their writers and their possible interpretations (or lessons) that we can rely.

First, it is necessary to remark that these writings are not the only clinics of samurai wisdom, as well as manuals are not definitive or "total" of that set of moral and ethical warrior known as Bushido: Bushido existence as long as the warrior caste of the samurai and over the years and battles, all the great Japanese warlords were more or less interested in leaving their commentaries on the issue, in the form of letters, essays or simple narratives of events that occurred under their jurisdiction.
Among this multiplicity of perspectives and materials, the texts of Musashi and Yamamoto are those that, in our time, enjoy more fame and success, especially for interpretations that are given posthumously, on the ground war (reading Hagakure was particularly recommended to the military during the Second World War, and is said not missing a copy of the passenger Zero kamikaze) as well as in the managerial (Gorin no sho is still assumed as the "guidebook" of Japanese management).

Shinmen Takezo Miyamoto Musashi was born as the son of a samurai of low rank.
still a teenager involved in the battle of Sekigahara, unfortunately on the losing side.
without father or master begins his training on the Via della Spada, and through fighting, the interaction with enemies, the approach to culture and private study, becomes the colossal legend of the swordsman "invincible under Heaven."
Musashi made Gorin no Sho in 1645, with a view to point out and clarify certain points of his style of battle and sword, which I bought in the translation made by "Two Swords: A School" ( Ni-Ten Ichi Ryu ).
The impression we have, especially in books dedicated to real fighting techniques (Water and Fire), also because of the continual references to Musashi to study and apply in training, is that this text is to support 'practical training: Musashi explains what is behind a movement you make, and why it is taught that way, but he dwells too much on the explanation of the movement itself or on specific concepts.
the leitmotif of this manual for invincibility is the "strategy" from Musashi must consider even more inclination towards the culture and talent with the sword:

"It is said that the warrior practice via a two-fold: the culture and martial arts. He should show inclinations in this way two-fold. However, though a man is not paid for these two routes, one can become a warrior, however, assiduously applying the strategy, regardless of social class of origin. "

Musashi is a fighter Sengoku era: civil war and the shaky social system allowed a farmer to find samurai, and maybe even daimyo.
Musashi is a practical man, stubborn, and hardships that have made him tough and "competent" are vibrant and alive in his writings. In an era where if you win and if you lived morivi lost, Musashi petty convenience of comparing the strategist to the carpenter is particularly significant:

"The general, as a carpenter foreman, knows the rules of your own home, the rules of province and the rules of the state. This is the way of the leader.
The foreman carpenter stores the structure of temples and towers, and knows the plans of palaces and buildings. To build the houses, uses unskilled workers. the foreman carpenter as the leader of a military family. The principles that govern the behavior of both are identical. [...]
If the foreman carpenter knows how to use and deploy his men, the job is done quickly and excellent.
[...] As you know the resources available and the states of mind, you stimulate all the unskilled workers, making them work at a good pace. These are the habits of a master mason. The principle that applies to the strategy is the same. "

Skip eyes even as the Japanese industry have seen in this way of thinking, individualistic but also strongly marked towards the" outside ", the foundation for managing modern and what are the conditions of the economy, even Japan.
Vision, Brainstorming, Motivation, business concepts that are, with names and different examples, we find step by step in the introductory sections of the Victory Musashi.

Victory goal then, and the Advancement (where it is vital not only to block the enemy's shot, but also anticipate it) as a strategy.
The notes of the book, the editor of the translation and the commentary often uses metaphors or references to music, emphasizing the use of Musashi to the concept of "Rhythm".
Musashi uses the same musical references to dictate the timing of movement of the sword or the steps during the change of guard.
Another point that emphasizes the practical and cultural multisfaccettatura work.
goes without saying that if the pace is a key component of the strategy (think the importance of timing, not only in combat but also in the conduct of battle, to retreat from the attack) and its maintenance and management is the key for a lightning mind and body ready, the enemy must be annihilated trying to break this pace, destroying the concentration or continuity of action.
Musashi, among others, illustrates this particular concept in the section called "Pack a pillow":

"The meaning of" squeeze a pillow is this: do not allow the enemy to raise his head. In the way of fighting is a serious strategic mistake to let themselves from the enemy, letting him lead the fight. [...] In
strategy is necessary to contain the enemy in the assault. You have to compress his outbursts, and knowing how to unravel when he tries to grab you. [...]
My technique is this: let the enemy actions, and to prohibit the unnecessary profits. This is the peculiarity of the strategy. "

Then, with eyes fixed on the movement of the enemy and the body is tense in the test the weight of his weapon, the warrior Musashi interiority has no other use than that of the utilitarian lucid analysis of the management ..?
The last book, the emblematic homage to the Void takes care of this last, crucial dilemma:

"In our time, people are spreading a belief erroneous, considering the vacuum as the indistinct. This is not the true vacuum, and all these visions are only the expression of a confused mind. "

Musashi compares to an Empty Sky " totally clear with no blurring or the slightest cloud ".
To Musashi emptiness and clarity: what you do not have at the beginning of a journey, but we proceed to acquire a purely intellectual faculties, but at the same time metaphysical physics, as to the scope of our organic capability.
The power and the charm of Gorin no Sho is unwavering in its linearity, in an initial reading can be boring or too strict, but in this is its strength: Musashi is a winner, and he wants to do with his own followers of winning, and victory for Musashi is such only if it leads to results, which coincides with an enrichment of material and spiritual.

the opposite side of the river, Yamamoto whispers from his remarks "stupid war in time of peace" in the depths Hagakure.
Given the fame and the grim suicide catch-phrase "I discovered that the way of the Samurai is in death" , this collection of aphorisms and considerations of Monaco Jouchou text is usually considered a bleak and "nihilistic." In fact
Hagakure is very ironic and sarcastic, biting and receptive about the moral and social trends of his time.

Matsugame Yamamoto is born into a samurai family, vassals of the Nabeshima clan. We are in
Genroku period (1688-1704), the golden era of the Edo period: the bloody battle for survival of the Sengoku period are now a distant memory, and what is expected of the samurai and now it's just loyalty the ability to attend to practical economic or judicial. The vassals
directly under their daimyo and receive a salary in koku, the legendary bales of rice, rather than in land.
schools are born of the sword where it is practiced with bamboo swords, and the blade live, to worship as a part of himself, serves only to frighten the peasants or criminals.
In this period of peace and prosperity, the possibilities of heroism for the samurai are very few and muffled by the dignity of ritual suicide.
Tsunetomo samurai is a cultured, and for a long time working under the bibliotecaio as Nabeshima, then the death of his master, the prohibition of suicide by a decree of the shogun and the status of ronin, leading man, now struck down its ambitions , to retire to monastic life.

Tsunetomo that his aphorisms to the disciple Tashiro between 1709 and 1716, after which the texts will be compiled into 11 volumes, and published many years after his death in 1719.

In the paragraphs that make up the work is easy read the tone of a man who despises the era in which they live and what are the samurai, characters with "the look of furtive pickpocket" . There is bitterness in
Tsunetomo findings, but also the awareness that "the good old days" are gone for that really beautiful, and a struggle to get back a hundred years ago would be ludicrous as well as anachronistic.

with Musashi If we talked about strategy, talk with Tsunetomo of Regret.

The regret of having lost "a train" and have gotten stuck at the stop before, the grief of living in an age where mediocrity is easy to excel, but only in trivial ... And above all the shock of realizing that we stop the unattainable is within the reach of others, but they persist in ignoring.
Tsunetomo is not a good Buddhist, he retired to monastic life just because he was not allowed to die, so he chose for himself a different kind of death, that of Action.
Action, in perfect union and coincidence of inner and outer, which is still affordable for those who want to listen to his words and deeds of the Nabeshima, its venerable superiors. When I think

Tsunetomo in his hut of leaves in the company of Tashiro, yes I can imagine, full of regrets, bitterness and disappointment, but also has an energetic and sarcastic scowl acuity that allow it to be a good observer of his time and in a sense an unexpected clairvoyant:

"The world gets worse gradually. When the gold runs out, the silver becomes precious, silver finish, it builds on the copper.
[...] The era of great men is difficult to make a name. When the world goes to hell is relatively easy to excel. "

would be easy to feel despair and decide to turn their backs on the modern world, or simply adapt to the mediocrity that surrounds us.
Tsunetomo instead refuses to consider winning, refuses to be silent.
The invitation not to fear death is considered an antagonist to be tackled head low to be read from this point of view: the death in this sense takes the form of protest, if there is no difference, might as well choose one and end subbitanea vehemently denied "the merchants of Osaka Bushido" to think that profit rather than to the dignity and praise the cleverness instead of wisdom:

"I discovered that the Way of the Samurai is death. A dilemma of life and death needs to be resolved simply by choosing a sudden death. There is no nothing complicated in this. Have courage, and move on. Some say that dying without having accomplished their mission is to die in vain, but this is nothing more than pseudo-samurai ethics, calculator, the merchants of Osaka, arrogant. "

A death is acceptable so vain, because death is always a certainty, and if a crisis is inevitable (think of a typical situation, you know, you're stuck in the cabin of a ship is sinking ) you prefer to live to die does not occur more than a state of confusion.

But what defines a decent life, how "live" a samurai?
Hagakure is particularly generous with practical advice in this respect: is preferred body care and cleaning, a life marked by regular times, care and kindness to others, collaboration and listening to opinions different from ours to expand our horizons cognition.
These small actions have a common denominator: the determination.
A samurai must be rigorous in its decisions, which are a promise to entry or completion of commitments for the next day during the evening:

"Ultimately, the only thing that matters is the determination of the moment. A samurai takes a resolution after another, until they are joined by his entire life. Once it is realized, will not be impatient, we should not try simply beyond the present moment. He lives his life simply concentrate on its resolution. We tend to forget this, however, and believe that there is something important.
[...] If you iron a single fixed resolution, we often feel confused. This is fidelity to his faith. "

Cutaway you get is that of a strong-willed and impetuous man, from " yet reverent look stern, dignified. "
There is an illuminating piece on the subject, describing how to live life fully, taking into account the death, mix impetuosity, resolution and peace of mind:

"There's a thing called" attitude in the shower. " When suddenly a storm breaks out, one can, try not to get wet, stand out a great race to go and find shelter under some roof near: s'inzuppa the same except that one. If, however, from the beginning was mentally prepared to get wet, you do not feel in any way defeated, when it actually happens. Such an approach is beneficial in all circumstances. "

Think of how much stress and frustration such an attitude would eliminate from our body.
It is a sad" to surrender to defeat, but be aware that there is such a possibility, and that a This adverse situation is not necessarily to "our fault" but the designs of fate, on which we have control on, and rather than beating around the bush or click shortcuts uncertain, it is preferable to deal with adversity Determined, hard-nosed and head held high.
In closing, always on the marriage life / death, a further denial of death as "self-destruction," but as simply inevitable existential time to close a loop, which is our very short life, but also a sarcastic reference all'affannoso lifestyle of modern man:

"Human life lasts only an instant. You should spend it to do what we like. In this world, fleeting as a dream, live nell'affanno, doing only what sorry , is folly. Since this could be harmful if misinterpreted, I decided not to reveal this trade secret to the young. I like to sleep. Viewed as a go today things in the world, I'll stay home and sleep. "

PS: This morning I got the pack with 11 issues of The Fate of Kakugo ... FUCK YEAH!

A contribution of the "Duce" on racism

- -Why, I hung to make comments to the blog and you ignore them; _;? might as well disable them, so check the news on my blog becomes less demoralizing D:

Most of you will ignore it, but evening in Rome was a candlelight vigil sponsored against all forms of discrimination, intolerance and racism .
suppose that these calls are due to the need for more security than that of tolerance, but certainly will not find words for refusal relating this event on this blog ... I have always (well, not always!) Defined as "extreme" right, but I must admit that I could never tolerate or accept sopprusi or discrimination against minorities perpetrated by so-called "comrades" were at the expense of homeless people , immigrants or gay.
I do not believe to be more "available" to others on this subject, simply believe that the problems that afflict humanity have something else to do with skin colors, customs and habits or sexual preferences of chicchesia.

However, in the name of the day against all racism, I feel like to give my contribution. Disturbing and unexpected - in pure Dae Style - but still a contribution to.
I remembered having read something about a particularly intriguing part of such a Benito Mussolini .
In an explosion of humanitarianism, I share with you these short articles appeared in some People of Italy in the '30s, about some "worrying trends Germanic" ...

There was a period immediately after the arrangement of '29, which was accused by various parties to the fascist government of the Church of Rome have enslaved until their political-national.
Today, after the Concordat between the Holy See in September '33 and Germany, we are reminded of those times and those events with an intimate sense of humor. The Germany, steady, and heavy on its rails, because the Concordat, he wasted no time, and after attempting to unify the many churches to skip those data that could be barriers by the tradition and the age-old rivalries, is now trying to establish a national church that distinguishes it even more clear and the German people from all other peoples.
E 'natural, everything is logical. When we started from a premise as that which the German people is the only survivor of the Atlantean civilization, and consequently the German civilization is worthy of humanity, the point of arrival is not doubt. Racism
hundred percent. Against all odds: the past against Christian civilization, today against the Latin civilization, tomorrow, who knows, against the civilization of the world!
But such a policy, a policy that can not be obscurantist, as already is the exclusive, chauvinistic and imperialist policy can not be from the twentieth century.
's strange and painful, as the nation and the spirit of the Germans, although they are so square, almost completely lacking a sense of balance: the unbridled militarism of Prussia goes to an even more unbridled liberalism (Berlin civilization redder after Moscow), and now, suddenly and violently, at this Nazi racism, so full of belligerence sticky.
But a policy that was to remain soberly and judiciously national transported to Germany, could not persist in its rightness, and then its effectiveness is a matter of course. This policy in fact taken by Germany racist and exclusivist, derived from a Latin culture and a nation. E-Teutonic-racism Atlantis could never fail to recognize itself in its policy a policy of import.

On the issue of racism should not be scientists, it seems, agree with the politicians: it is understood that the conflict becomes clear and documentary forms only beyond the borders of Nazi Germany. But the fact remains, even add interest and flavor impact of culture and Kultur.
An example: a few days ago, the famous anthropologist Sir Grafton Elliot Smith, speaking to a gathering of European scientists, it was not scruple to declare the fact that the racist doctrines on "pure bred" Aryan or if you prefer, "fall in flagrant conflict with the accepted teachings of anthropological science. "
There's more. Sir Grafton wanted to substantiate their claims by saying that, as all opinions are not unanimous in determining the places where civilization arose first place, everyone knows that the shores of the Mediterranean have been, according to a memorable phrase, "the cradle of mankind ".

"-Those who continued the famous anthropologist - insist on the moral and intellectual qualities of the Aryans and talk of early Aryan culture should remember that it is very doubtful that the Arians have invented the primitive culture of no importance to Babylon. If one thinks of exposure of the fallacy Arian made in 1890 by Huxley, we have reason to laugh when someone ignores the anthropological truth of the matter so far as to apply the attribute of the Aryan non-Jewish. "

far Sir Grafton. Science, therefore, does not guarantee the "purity" of the blood of anyone. Serious, very serious fact. The brand new "civilizing" the North may well have some unknown relatives might within the walls of Tel Aviv. Although it denies Kultur, culture admits. It 's a nice case and a severe lesson.

The proposal pilgrim's "passport of the ancestors", which is likely to have application in Germany socialnazionalista, is the latest manifestation of "racism" that is rampant in these parts . (We do not know why nobody has done it again noted that the "racism" is all that more "Semitic" and "Jewish" one can imagine. The hinges on the Semitic tribes, understood as a closed aggregate racial, and not in its no language that can define the state or something like that. This is parentheses closed for the moment, but the matter will be taken up elsewhere).
The passport of the ancestors "is the document which the German could or should demonstrate the authenticity of her Aryan blood and the truth that he belongs to the Germanic race.
But what race? There is a Germanic race? And 'ever existed? Will there ever be? Indeed, theorists of myth or flue? (Another aside: the theoretician of French racism is a hundred percent: Gobineau).
Well, we respond, a Germanic race does not exist. Different movements. Curiosity. Amazement. Confirm. Does not exist. I do not tell us. Not the scientists say. He says Hitler.
In that Gospel, even in that kind of interesting New Testament of National Socialism which is the Mein Kampf and decisively on page 69 of the Italian edition, we read what we transcribe here:

"Unfortunately - says Hitler - our German nation is no longer based on a core racial unity. The process of merging of different elements originating not so much progress, however, that we can speak of a new breed from it formed. contrary! The blood poisoning suffered by the body of our nation, especially after the Thirty Years War, not decomposed only the German blood, but the German soul. The open borders of our country, relying on the foreign materials from Germany along the border areas, but especially the strong continuous influx of foreigners inside the Reich, ever renewed influx, did not leave time available to assure complete melting. It was not produced a new breed, but the racial elements were next to each other, with the result that, especially at critical moments, in which each herd soles assemble, the German people is dispersed in all directions. The elements are differently racially stratified, not only in different territories, but also in each territory. Beside the Nordic men, men are Oriental next to the East, the Nordic, and beside them, Western men, and, above all, human mixtures. This is of grave harm to the German people lacking any genuine instinct to herd based on the unit of blood. "

Apart from the question the herd, more references to sheep in men (però. ..), Hitler, writing this in 1926, he photographed reality.
Germany is made up of different races, more or less happily mixed together as each can be seen filming in Germany.
We'll see if the Nazis manage to draw a "herd" of pure blood.
At best, according to the calculations of experts in the field, it takes centuries, between racial marriages, and no less racial castrature.
there all the time then to talk it over calmly, relax.

The rest, unfortunately, is history, and a shrewd observer of his times above turned into puppet Fuhrer dragging in a variety of miseries.
It 'still interesting to note the relevance of these writings, and as a sarcastic criticism of these ways of thinking and acting were all too far-reaching.

Invite those who are part of my own political party to re-read these texts and treasure it, so that we can finally be identified as civilians, not criminals repressed pitiful ... Daaaai, I'm tired of being ashamed because of you.

Golf After Ac Mastectomy

For once it is Madonna to go on pilgrimage -

- Definitely not know, but for a few days the famous Statue of Our Lady of Loreto is visiting here, to the delight of the faithful of Lazio.
The statue arrived in Fiumicino with that of a domestic flight, and after the mass was transferred to the airport sfigatissima parish named after St. Aloysius Gonzaga, in that the porpoises.
The statue was carried in procession on foot along the main street, then passed the stage promptly set up the football pitch kids oratory.
From there, it was an interesting celebrated Solemn Vespers presided by the bishop.

Obviously, Dae was there.
not fully aware of what to expect and convinced to leave the site for 8 in the evening in the name of the sacred Supper, I'm stationed in one of the chairs near the stage in the company of my noble father.
Our arrival, half an hour before the expected time of the Vespers, was immediately inspired from entertainment Pluvio of Jupiter, who had clearly decided to share the joy of the faithful in procession.
Rain always causes some confusion in people, especially when you are in open places: peer at the clouds, it is wise to distance the power of lightning - It is noted that the entire roof structure and the stage is an iron -
As it promised to be long, well I decided to spend the time to look around.
While the staff of the parish tried to disentangle the various tests microphone and attached bright the hard core of "women" had already unleashed in an arrogant rosary, which one, automatically, participated. Beautiful
the technicians who did the classic "one, two, three, test" and the girls glared at him XD
Exasperated, the type of the keyboard has taken the trouble to remind us that the procession was to be a part- - An elegant way to invite us to move out.
short, the Women of the Rosary really knew how to assert themselves, but they had not come to terms with him, the guy who played guitar in the chorus.
do not know how you call him, but I love it: when delays begin to be felt and people can no longer conceal irritation, it turns out that he forced the assembly to try the songs "alive" Mass.
.. As soon as I saw the park, I realized that the delay of the Vespers was rather extreme.
And so we started to try all the hymns, antiphons and psalms, to the delight of the guy, which I think should be the motivator in farms or villages in the animator ... It 'truly a genius of public relations.
While we were gassing the pitch to try to dell'antifona Magnificat (admirable - admirable indeed) the arrival of the Municipal Finance Police addettaglia and the Airports of Rome has signaled the arrival of the procession of the statue ergo.
Naturally you get up on their feet and mumbles.
The procession stops under the altar.
The poor priests, altar boys and Co. have all the appearance of one who has drowned by walking, and after some logistical problem for the deposition of the statue on the altar, finally stops raining.

Exactly when the procession ends!

comment pastor: "Obviously there are the well-deserved."
Awww - I was almost feeling guilty.
is 8 pm and my father took me to challenge andarmenme: I remain of course, I did the tests at all of the songs, and while there I always liked to dwell in the spirit of rewarding activities.
Among other things, as they are months I do not go to church because of work, I think the minimum to participate at least once a Vespers.

Thus, the celebration continues with tranquility, as well as the mystical contemplation of the mysterious statue ...

An interesting and rewarding on a spiritual level, I'd like to know-all and shoot some quotes on the "general will, which loves itself" about this as many other popular events, but it would be unfair as limiting.

There are many people who mistakenly make religion a matter of true or false.
True or false, how narrow-minded to classify the quality of human experience.
I am of the opinion that, as a insradicabile dose of superstition, it is not possible to separate the Christian religion, and in this case Catholic, from the intimate culture of our people.
And I'm not referring to whine cazzatule on which the ticks, bells on Sunday who do not sleep or difficulty with which one engages in abortion or divorce in the name of "civilization" do not know what that protection of the inalienable rights' man (probably the one to do shit), but of culture as an IDENTITY ', on the same level of development architectural building in Roman times, the Red and a buooon Tiziano Chianti.

Damn, people.
yourself a bit of culture and believe in God

Marihana And Tendinitis

"Where the Stars end of days ..?"

Ohohoh! You probably ignored, but now comes theatrical movie Kamui Gaiden based on the episode of Suguru.
potential course downloads are currently inaccessible, so I decided to "celebrate", or at least prepare a decent wait, watching another ninja movie based on a rather popular manga by Yu Koyama and long-lived (because you know in Italy is the author of Strength, Sugar! among others), Azumi .

The story of Azumi is set close to the end of the Sengoku period, a few years after the battle of Sekigahara, which saw the troops of Tokugawa victorious against Toyotomi's allies.
In a period where the forces are still many destabilizing and a peaceful future is quite uncertain, assassinate enemy daimyo for the profit of this or that daimyo is still the fastest way to achieve success.
Aware of this, after surviving his son on the battlefield and inspired by the words of Monaco Tenkai workers, plasterers, a samurai of the Tokugawa decides to raise ten orphans found during his wanderings and make an impeccable team of assassins. The boys grow up together with
Gessai as a guide (by them "affectionately" called "JII", which sounds much like "Old Man" or "Grandfather"), with little knowledge about the outside world but the clear objective to address an unspecified "Mission" for which they were born. At

eve of the fulfillment of this Mission, JII tests his protégés: a real murderess has a heart of steel and feels no human feelings, children are invited to team up with their favorite friend and then - kill him.
After initial shock and kill the children obey their friends: this is the first time Azumi kills someone with his sword technique, and its first victim Nachi, which was particularly close friend.

The next morning, the ninja Nagato Gessai delivers to the "Mission" by Tenkai: kill Nagamasa Asano, Kato Kiyomasa and Yukimura Sanada, the leaders who are currently the most dangerous enemies of Ieyasu.

But what is the real distinction between good and evil, and how readily distinguish what is right and what is wrong? Because the Mission, which should free the world from wars and bad people can not defend a village from marauders or help a wounded friend ..? After the moral contradiction
ennessima the company falls apart, and while Gessai, the cold and confused Ukiha Nagara decide to carry out their task, and the lively Azumi Hyuga decide to take an alternative route, but other enemies will be convinced of the contrary .
Azumi, now faced with the fact that he can not do nothing but fight to defend itself and the people dear to her, she decided to get together and go to the aid of Gessai, put in a terrible Kanbei situation windlass, faithful servant of Kiyomasa ...

relatively bad reviews I read of this film which, although not shine narrative originality, it is still a nice view and not so terribly obvious.
Some choices of photography are original and interesting and very colorful imbued with "horror vacui" scenarios are sometimes distressing in their "batching", but decidedly painterly and evocative of the time.
Well, one thing that often bothered me was the night scenes, in my opinion too many and incomprehensible (but this can lay the blame at my monitor scrauso) but otherwise the film runs nicely, so much so that the two hours it is made of heavy viewers do not weigh much.
choreographic There is also a very effective use of slow motion and speeding up the action, not used here (at least not so much to be worthy of note) with a dramatic purpose, but to suggest unnatural stunts deadly ninja in the grass in the final battle between the villain and Azumi Bijoumaru is the use of a special dolly (at least I think it's a dolly) that runs around the two challengers, back to back in balance on a wooden beam suggest tension and confusion is a nice trick, but after the first ten seconds to realize that the director should have the audience to throw up> _>
Speaking of slow motion, and connecting this technique in acting, I especially hated the scenes where people die, especially the main characters you have in mind the classic characters emblematic pronounced during the slow death that ends with a "thump" of the body that eventually "like a dead body falls" -? There. I hate these scenes - I'm so false and unnatural, and certainly the Japanese drama (always "stylized", whatever they say) does not help.

The cast includes a slew of Japanese idol, by Aya Ueto in Azumi role up to that great piece of dumpling Hiroki Narimiya emblematic role in Ukiha (I say that is symbolic because it is obvious to Gessai GAY ... Do not blame me, it's true D ':!), I do not think that their acting was so bad: Of course, the Azumi Uetesca is much more "moe" is necessary, Azumi misrepresenting the childish innocence in a more palatable to the male audience, but overall it is not credible as a girl brought up feelings that, unfortunately, feelings will test all right , although it is not able to give it a name.
Joe Odagiri in psicomane Bijoumaru is delicious, terrifying and exhilarating at the same time, I really like this character; _;

would not be a B-movie if we were not delighted with CG effects at random or adulteration DIY: the classic effect of ninja warrior that jumps out from the leaves blown by the wind here is made very well with the 'inclusion of silver flakes in the foliage to amplify the movement, the end of the film we do not miss the spectacular explosions or fires, or, why not swords that catch fire because they were soaked into the fire.
Azumi is also often cited for violent scenes, but in my opinion are not so gruesome - personally I found them relatively realistic, if did not want to linger in suspense nell'espediente (see the slow Bijoumaru discovers that he was beheaded - keep screaming even after the head has fallen off the body XD) ... I mean, a film famous for defining Azumi " his scenes splatter "seems a bit misleading, too.

In closing, a few words on the soundtrack, but relatively insipid tremendously atrocious in some parts - I am referring to the electric guitar riffs that serve as the opening scenes in which to break especially the cabbasisi Azumi - I understand the modern taste of work, but the overall effect is rather ridiculous!

In essence, a funny and evocative film, stuffed with a little too much action and events in a relatively narrow, but because of what flows nicely and goes for two hours.
I do not know if it is recommended to fans of the genre, because the directing style is quite modern, but fans of the manga will definitely fun.

- I think the film look like a lot of Kamui this Azumi ... Yoichi Sai who send us a good!

How Much Does It Cost For Waxing In Usa

Apology of Good Sleep

What is insomnia if not maniacal stubbornness of our mind to produce thoughts, reasoning, syllogisms, and all its definitions, its refusal to abdicate before the divine unconsciousness eyes closed or the wise crazy dreams?
Marguerite Yourcenar

- It 's a bit ironic to make a post dedicated to sleep at this hour, but I can always blame the caffettino expressed that I took a few hours ago without considering the consequences.

I've often heard criticism of the activities of healthy sleep.
In modern life it seems that sleep is a pointless activity, which in fact remains "life" and produce a "waste of life."
You too have heard things like, "Yeah, life is short, think how much time wasted sleeping!" or see your young colleagues zombies seem to work because they have spent the previous night to be partying at the disco - it never be that "wasting" on Saturday night while you sleep!
In the past, however, tended to treat the sleep to death, so much so that the two gods are brothers nientepocodimenoche in classical mythology: surely a form of reverence, but something that is viewed with some dismay over the serene clarity of the daylight hours.

I can not help but raise an eyebrow, puzzled.

do not think the rest is a waste, and I do not sleep at all that the "take off" time to our mortal existence, the impression I have is that, like every physiological activity, sleep should not only respected, but certainly not hampered in its daily demonstrations.
It 'obvious that it is back with many projects, and is also true that very often I spend the afternoon spennicare morally satisfying, but if my body commands, I have to obey by reason of things.

The children sleep several hours because this involves physical and intellectual growth although it may appear that nothing happens in the hours of sleep our body regenerates and restores.
Further evidence of this and sleepiness when you are sick, most often to defeat or influence a cold is simply necessary to spend two days in bed, warm, to sleep.
Who does not get enough sleep has mood swings, nerves on edge, irritable, it's difficult to concentrate and has a weight problem because the metabolic balance go to hell. Lack of sleep makes
distracted and not very productive: it is difficult not only to plan but also attenervicisi.

Personally, I think it will help not only to make us stay mentally balanced, but also more healthy, 'physically' talking.
Sleeping Beauty seems to be fine just because the sleeper, and when the great theories of science fiction, when you want to defeat the time we can not help but associate the cryogenics or other gimmicks that affect sleep.

should stop sticking to the material profit in every aspect of human existence and see things for what they are.
I do not wonder if the world watching the news I think overpopulated by neurotic ...

Can You Inject Lortab

Traffic Rant, the Euro is disgusting and what a beautiful renovated Library Ostiaaa ^ o ^! When a male

I have no words. I recently returned from a "consignment" to the nearby town of Ostia (every time I entertain on descriptions of place names where I live seems you're taking the piss living in the old West ... In a sense E'ESATTAMENTE SO ') and I'm still stunned.
But it will eventually employ 50 minutes to travel one way in which they serve at most 20?! Whenever
so, from three in the afternoon on the roads and 'impassable. I will have been bottled up in traffic so long to start singing the songs they heard on the radio to stay awake!
Then, of course, I was already in line for hours because they do not season with the usual lunatics that infest Italic roadways?
I hate bikers who claim to overtake on the right when you're in a row even when space THERE '. I understand that you have the bike and you're made to disengage from the traffic, but you always have to fuck with risk of scratching the car with that mass of scrap metal to lay his ass?! I swear that when I see these yokels to put into practice the maneuver Paraculo I have to restrain myself from slamming the door on them to smash him to the guard-rail. - And just because I do not otherwise damage the door, not because I'm afraid to hurt him, basically wrong As I Overtaken by RIGHT.
Other people I hate are the ones that will outperform when you're doing your best to keep a safe distance (this obviously does not apply when you are in a row. Sometimes I really wonder how do the machines to stop when they are in line . Seriously, like at 20 kph ?!)-- You are there, maintaining a decent speed and an optimal distance, and here's the genius who drives past you and gets thrown in front of you, BRAKE (because obviously there is a 'other car in front of you) and making you A CURB YOUR TIME (I have some problems Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, but I hate when that CURB front of me slows down. I'm maintaining a steady speed - If I brake speed rate and consume more gasoline R) ... ARGH.
However, the fault can not be given to motorists of all, I think some speed limits are outdated and some penalties too much about it.
Of course, we all agree that the drunk who goes to 120 km per hour in central Rome and invests three pedestrians at the bus stop should be fined, lynched and thrown in jail to rot, but if I'm going to SS 80 Km on a desert surrounded by countryside (and also paved the fuck) because you make me a fine of € 450 D:? Not even themselves by smoking in the face of a pregnant woman!
As I revealed in a previous post stuffed Coccia di Morto speed cameras and other nearby streets.
brilliant.
You know what happens when you respect the speed to avoid being fined -? Form of the file. Closed

this controversy parentheses another opens.
advantage of the day off and I took advantage of decent weather to do some shopping.
You may have noticed that I am not releasing new pages Sakura Mishouzo a few days - It 's because I finished inking pens, _;
Each trattopen, rapidograph and marker in this room is' FINISHED.
At one point I started using fountain pens - The result was decent but the paper is ruined too so I had to give up and move your ass out of the house. I visited the trust
Buffalo, where I bought the material that you see below:

You know what I spent? EURO 11.50.
That is about 23,000 pounds of old currency D:! For three pens, a pencil and eraser!
will agree with me who is not 'normal.

The only thing left is the price of which, after all, the same is that of books (although even here we often witness increases absurd).
attaches to the initial rant, I went to Ostia because I had ordered a book to the newly renovated library in Europe at the beginning of Via whales.
- I can say that this is a wonderful place; _;? E 'was spread to all sides, and added new sections, all stocked - Of course, those six square feet of "Literature for Children" is obviously a waste, but the section on art is that the essays have been widely expanded and enriched with the joy of Dae <3
Anyway, here are my recent purchases:

After reading Hagakure I wanted to read the interpretation of Mishima, one of the modern writers I feel closest to my way of thinking and that is why I was resolved to recover his Nyūmon Hagakure, a short essay in which the author re-reads the text of the eighteenth century with its modern sensibility.
The Italian version is published by Bompiani language under the title The Way of the Samurai . I tried to buy it last week but was not there, so I ordered - Today was promptly on his shelf and I grabbed as a kind of weasel. Last week I bought
Sun and Steel ( Taiyo to Tetsu ), a wonderful text for those who aspire to an ethic of beauty, with incredibly inspiring reflections on how the author has lived his relationship with his body and His intellectuality. I came to read only the first half, because I'm trying to taste, but in reality I would like to finish it immediately, _;
Because I had some money in surplus and that I was already in the library and put c'avevo 50 minutes to get there I might as well buy something else, and this is added to the Snow in the elusive loot Spring (Haru no Yuki ) I read runaway horse a few years ago, and since then I had always promised to procure the other volumes of the tetralogy "The Sea of \u200b\u200bFertility" ... It seems to have very interesting implications, as soon as I finished the novel (and also here on behalf of take it easy) I'll do a review ^ _ ^

And now I go - probably before going to bed to read a little bit> _>;

Any Way To Watch Howard Tv Online

draws Yaoi -

- Apparently it has the same effect as if it has a female XD

One of the illustrations in the magazine BexBoy for Uchi no Tantei Harimasenka ("Know My Detective?"), of Kisaragi Hirotada

few days ago, a chick on y! G posted a journal in which required information on the existence of some YAOI mangaka male.
course the first thing that jumped on everyone's mind was the world of Bara or the more common Gei Comics , but no, the girl just asked Yaoi: the classic gender from female to female. " And a few flakes
name in the comments, as well as some suggestions on the work of alchemical products ... I put myself in motion, not so much to meet the needs of the chick, but for my own curiosity.
So, after some ricerchetta on Google, forums of various kinds and the painstaking consultation with the always useful Manga-Updates (link in right column), I managed not only to find some authors Yaoi male, but also recover some of their work ... In this post
analyze some of the works of these artists that I particularly liked, trying to underline how little difference there is with the work of female artists.

's start with my favorite author, Noboru Takatsuki.
I had set out to review a single work by author, but in the case of Takatsuki was impossible, because once I had finished work on the fly very all others, is now totally dependent on his style soft yet solid ...
Ren'ai Shinan! ("Love is hard!") Is the only job for which translation is complete at the time, and as usual it is one of a series of more or less long-shots published in magazines in different times and then collected in a single volume of luxury.
Ren'ai consists of three stories: homonymous Ren'ai Shinan! , the main story which gives its name to the book, Hatano decides to help her very able head Honjo otakuesco but to be successful with the girls, after clean up and a new haircut Honjo becomes popular, we soon you realize you have feelings for Hatano questilo after he had kissed a joke during one of his "lessons", and also is troubled Hatano for flocks of horny females running after "his" new Honjo.
Eventually the two will change jobs due to an incident that had the child protagonist of the Director, Oohashi, and at the request of Hatano, Honjo recover quite a bit of his otaku look lest jealousies and insecurities in his subordinate in the new environment work.
Love Trial is always set in an "Office environments", and this time the protagonists are Kiriya, just abandoned by her boyfriend and the insistent but attractive Hiura, a colleague. After an accident in
Subway, where a gal Kiriya accused of having keys and Hiura kisses him to prove that Kiriya has many other trends, Hiura realizes that she loves him and trusts him.
Kiriya decides to give an opportunity to connect, which is attractive despite the outgoing and "sticky" as it considers his total opposite - that fact is Hiura is a kind and devoted boyfriend and so far no one has ever dared to touch Kiriya even with a finger, with visible frustration man.
One evening, during a working party, Hiura gets drunk, and totally changing personality assaults a pleasantly surprised how upset Kiriya: Hiura the next morning in tears and begged the forgiveness of Kiriya, when in fact he gets drunk, his personality changed completely, becoming insistent and compelling.
Kiriya, however, is happy to become aware of this side of her lover, and do not hesitate to make good Hiura to get drunk when it needs a bit of "movement" (it being understood that Hiura is perfectly capable of satisfying even sober! ).
The last story, Renji Sketch , about a boy lover of art, Yoshino, who, inspired by his myth, the artist Miya Keigo, would like to pursue an artistic career, but why can not poor.
Mamiya, a professor of art school Yayoi if it finds a model in its class to gather enough for a little money, and decides to use it he "privately".
After a series of misunderstandings and quarrels, Mamiya finally reveals his feelings to Yoshino, the two become lovers, and - Hip completely predictable (even the other characters say it, the only one not to notice and Yoshino!), Miya Keigo is actually the name of his teacher, whose full name is, of course, Mamiya Keigo ...
Among the other works will also point out the funny Nomousouteki Nichijou Oku-san ("The Daily Fantasie Oku-san"), dealing with the improbable fantasies of Oku and the messenger Sudou Cafe Relish Ni Oide ("Welcome to Cafe Relish "), where the ex-host Ookami aims to help the restaurant business Inui transforming the anonymity of the brothers steakhouse in a Maid Cafe in male version.
Takatsuki is also particularly famous for the character-design and CG art of BL games, including Hanamichi Monogatari (The Tale of the Way of Flowers ") and fantasy Silver Chaos.
addition to the absurd beauty of her designs, textures and softness in the care of the stroke, the stories, usually a mix of comedy, and classic moments Yaoi smut (all love the nonchalance with which the protagonists find themselves attracted to co-star on duty - "I love it when Tom-san I have to ... But then - I love Tom-san D: * blush *?" I think it is a trademark narrative Yaoi XD) are not only fun to read, but they can involve the reader wisely dosandone anxiety for the couple who does not take off with the satisfaction that the two are cute together - But most importantly, the presence of excellent supporting characters is able to inspire what the Yaoi should always: alternative couples and unpublished.

A skit dall'esilarante Nomousouteki Nichijou Oku-san ("The Daily Fantasie of Oku-san"), by Takatsuki Noboru

'll sound a little scary, but its main aim seems to be a solicitation of Yaoi "debauchery" tells not only the structure of the plot, in which the couple must not only give you time to fully understand recalcitrant uke his feelings to fulfill your dream of love of the suit (the stories always begin with a "love the one-way, very often the seed towards the inexperienced uke) but also the presence of secondary personagggi from time to time attracted or related the two protagonists, whose sole purpose is to break forever the couple brothers, possessive guardians, neighbors (whose windows open on time on the apartment of their "prey"), childhood friends, teachers or work colleagues are always alert to take advantage of every weakness, disagreement or dispute in the main pair to come up like mushrooms in the "right time".
The presence of these characters, however, is limited to their dramatic role, but extends to the reader's imagination, stimulating your imagination.
And it's so "illegal" does not matter: True to its principle of "No plot, no climax, no characterization," the main purpose of this is Yaoi, not just the fact of "One True Pairing", but trigger associations more sinful, and maybe lead them in a nice doujinshi series ...

Another master at this kind of triangles, squares and polygons love is the excellent Kisaragi Hirotada , author of popular manga like Gentee Kyoudai! ("The Restriction of the Brethren, known in the West as" Brother x Brother ") and famous for his contribution to the manga Blood + with its self-contained volume Blood + 'Yakou Joushi' ("Blood + 'The City of night drifters'")... Kisaragi surely know what quality is, and what the public loves female as well as series Yaoi, shounen manga is in fact the author of the romantic taste and has also released several doujinshi of the series Prince of Tennis .
Kisaragi admits to a penchant for stories that have brothers as protagonists, and I think the most striking works in this sense is precisely Gentee Kyoudai! , whose protagonists were three brothers struggling with a troublesome clause in the testament of their "father": the house where the three lived he will be inherited by those who manage to live for more than a month - basically forcing the three to impatience coexistence, which gradually join them as true brothers and strangers, according to the wishes of the deceased and beloved "father" . And
use quotation marks to "father" because two of the brothers do not have blood relations with him, but simply, Masato, the son of his second wife, and Kaname, the son of a cousin who has adopted, while the third , Souichiro, was abandoned by his mother at the age of ten years after the first divorce ... Among Souichiro who hates his father, Masato instead that he was in love, and Kaname which looks terribly, the three do a really nice group -
Another work worth mentioning is Uchi no Tantei Shirimasenka ("You know my detective?"), Which moves the action from the world of the Yakuza family tragedies and the "vaguely police," the adventures of the beautiful but treacherous- - Shigure and what kind Ryuunosuke energetic, detectives and penniless despite his yakuza clan heir of the famous Onizuka ... There is also Tsukiyo , folk-supernatural tale of a fallen samurai that binds to a demon to carry out his vengeance, you notice it is made entirely in color, and is a credit to the sublime skills of coloristic Kisaragi. .. This author prefers
plot complex and sophisticated, and an analysis of characters and their character if not a bit too extreme in the "drama" very nice and attractive: as a rule Yaoi has a fixation on the side of "painful" and "drama" of the characters and their relationship with the past, but is often led naturally to the "happy ending" and the triumph of good feelings. The graphic style of
Kisaragi leaves you speechless, it is not detailed and "full" as that of Takatsuki, but definitely elegant and sophisticated modern style of the "teachers" of the BL: comparison with Kaori Yuki Ayano Yamane is instant but also ... with respect to these authors, however, the style of Kisaragi is fresh and dynamic, emphasizing the experience with the Shonen genre.

Illustration for Dakara Nan Da Yo ("So I ask you, what is it?"), Haiji of Sakura, the style of this author is much more "shojo" than his colleagues, clearly more influenced by the style of game than that of the classic manga

addition to these, I found other authors worthy of mention although not among my favorites.
Haiji Sakura, a mysterious manga that you just know that Showa Era was born, stands out among them for his style much more classic shojo, almost meekly, and sketched with thin veils of watercolor texture, flavor and stories more purely romantic "doki-doki."
This author I particularly liked the volume Oaji Wadou Desuka ("What does it taste like?"); Issues addressed by the author is mostly relegated to the academic world and in any case scenarios delicate emotions "Slice of Life" , where the emphasis is on shaky balance of attraction developed in the context of everyday life and familiar, so much so that the characters themselves are almost always instantly aware of their feelings obvious, and this is certainly unexpected in a genre that is often and welcomes the prevarication of the inner conflict and the only element of diegetic development.
Who cares, Haiji has landed in Italy with his Omoi Shire ("trick of my feelings," translated as "But it's so!"), The "prequel" is contained in the booklet Kannou kissaten ("Ties Night").

finally shut this short but succulent rooftop Kujou Aoi, another author who likes realistic stories of love between parentaglia and colleagues.
Touch Blue is the story of the fragile relationship between Junjya Kyouichi and, by strangers who find themselves stepbrothers and then lovers.
It 's a very well structured and touching story, which is particularly interesting to see the growth of Kyouichi, not only in emotional maturity and character, but also physical - Who would have expected that the conceited brat would surpass his older brother in height and athleticism O_o?!
Kujou is a nice mix of artists that we have analyzed above: it has a decent stretch and soft, but also light and essential as that of Haiji, with which it shares a preference for the side "soft" in the relationship between the characters ...

In essence, the fact that they are men, makes these stories "different" from those of female writers with whom they share the work environment?
A careful analysis, I would say not.

moment of embarrassment "practical" one of the leaders of Ren'Ai Shinan! ("Love it's hard! ") of Takatsuki Noboru

Everything usually females regularly accuses the authors also performed by males, and what might be expected there.
E 'ovvvio that these authors love the genre, and out of their gender or sexual preference (in the various forums crying about how often the authors are obviously gay - I doubt it .. But I have some doubts about Kujou, if only for its abuse of springs with the hair XD) that they produce are Yaoi or manga erotic sex for a female audience, and what emerges from their works are nothing but the same styles and archetypes of the genre, fixed for anyone who enters and decides to serve as ambassadors.
So even here, semen virile, abusive, feminine uke and surprised, people who obey those high levels (although the top is the youngest!), "No please stop!" which should be read as "Oh, yes, I like it, yet!" and so on.
Even on the chart, you do not see many differences, in fact: the style of these authors, although of course staff, is not, but rather must be set to a level of continuity with honor and that of their colleagues.
- I mean, these men do nothing to distance himself from the genre or interpret according to their sensitivity, so much so that often 99% of their readers do not even realize that they are men (and the 1% knew in advance XD) ...

read these stories of men authors calmed me and in a sense made her smile.
notice the nuances of what makes it such a precious and fun to follow.
I am very proud of my ability to capture these nuances, even when I'm gone.
