HORIMIYA (Manga VS Anime VS Live Action Drama 2020)

About the MANGA: I have read this manga like years ago but then I stopped half way because I can't wait  which then forgot along the way to follow the chapters since I got too busy with life and work.

It was a good heart warming and deep manga somehow with so many different characters inside which screamed 'Don't judge a book by its cover because everyone has their own reasons.'

I plan to continue reading the rest of the chapters later on. 

Then, we will move on to the 13 episodes of its ANIME.Well, I have to say that it was good but too darn short. I wish it would be as detail as the manga but then again it didn't. It was good but lack of some details that explain more about some characters, some details in the overall story between Hori and Miyamura. It felt rushed towards the final episode.

As for the 10 episodes of LIVE ACTION DRAMA, I was entertained but not overwhelmingly impressed especially by the actor who played Miyamura. The story, the female lead who plays Hori and other was OK but he who plays Miyamura is kind of ruined it a bit with his stiff eyes expression and awkward smile. While the actress who played Hori gave her best effort for it, he instead didn't. At least that's how I felt when I saw them. Again, so many things were too short to the point if someone who didn't read the manga would be a bit confuse for the characters. 

I would give the manga 8.5, anime 8 and drama 7.5 for me.

 The illustration is a random fan art I drew based on its official manga back then.

A thought after reading Attack on titan chapter 138


 Well, this came to me on an instant after reading the surprising and full of twist Attack on Titan / Shingeki no Kyojin latest chapter. I was gonna draw Mikasa looking through a peaceful green field of hope as she was the only obvious survivor from all of chaos but then I changed my mind half way. I do hope levi, annie - armin survived as well though.  

The drawing was a mere speed-paint drawing I did on a whim.

Attack on Titan Final Season Anime and Final Chapters Manga (2021)

Attack on Titan or Shingeki no Kyojin is the only on going Japanese manga I follow at the moment. Actually my first impression about this manga was not good due to its horrible live action adaptation.

However, everything changed after I watched the 2 seasons of its anime and also the manga. Although to be honest, the anime is way easier to follow. It was a good storytelling, a good description of good and evil also how harsh life can be for anyone. The biggest plot twist would be the main character became the main villain. 

This is frankly more than just a shonen manga but more adult - gore - dark manga with blood spilled, many deaths and such. This is something new for me to read and see. The author really did a great job in mixing the plot and creating unforgettable characters. 

I might add more review after at least for the manga come to an end. Here is my fan art speedpaint drawing of the 2 main characters that I like, the ackermans, Mikasa and Levi.
