Densha Otoko

12/20/2008 07:52:00 PM 0 Comments


Densha Otoko alias Train Man ini mengisahkan bagaimana seorang cowok kuper mengejar cintanya pada seorang gadis cantik dan bergaya hidup mewah. Pertemuan awal mereka adalah sang cowok menolong si cewek di kereta lantaran diganggu oleh seorang pemabuk. Semenjak saat itu, sang cewek mengirimi mug bertuliskan Hermes kepadanya sebagai ucapan terima kasih.

Itulah awal mulanya timbul cinta di hati si cowok. Lantas sang cowok berusaha untuk mendekati si cewek. Berkonsultasi dengan teman2 di salah satu komunitas di dunia maya adalah upaya yang dilakukannya setiap hari. Mujurnya, teman-temannya sangat mendukungnya dan memberi tips-tips bagaimana agar bisa bersama si Hermes. Yup! Sang cowok menamakan si cewek sebagai Hermes dalam dunia maya. Sementara dirinya sendiri sebagai Densha Otoko.

Kisah ini merupakan kisah nyata yang dituangkan ke dalam komik dan juga telah lama dibuatkan versi dorama dan movie-nya.

Kalau cuma membaca komiknya yang disajikan 1 buku saja jelas kurang mengena. Kurang greget kali ya. Kok singkat amat? Tapi lumayan menghibur kok. Melihat perjuangan sang cowok yang jelas saja mengubah penampilannya demi ketemu sang cewek namun tidak mengubah karakter si cowok loh. Karena si cowok tetap "be himself" ko di depan sang cewek. So, hebatlah nih cowok bisa juga ngerebut hati si cewek yang notabene sudah punya pacar. Dan jelas saja pacarnya "perfect" donk. Hihi itu sih kata teman si cewek loh.

Silahkan baca sendiri untuk lebih jelasnya ya.

Team Medical Dragon

Team Medical Dragon mengisahkan tentang seorang pria bernama Ryutaro menjalani profesinya sebagai dokter jenius spesialis bedah dada dan jantung di sebuah rumah sakit. Bagaimanakah ia bertahan dengan keidealisannya di tengah orang-orang yang berani mengorbankan apapun termasuk pasien sendiri untuk mencapai tujuannya masing-masing?

Ryutaro yang begitu memperhatikan keselamatan pasien, kini tengah menjadi rebutan dokter di rumah sakit tersebut karena kecakapannya menangani kasus. Tentu saja ada maksud tertentu dibalik itu semua.

Saat ini ia tengah direkrut oleh dokter wanita bernama Akira Kato yang juga dokter spesialis bedah dada dan jantung untuk memimpin operasi batista dimana operasi itu merupakan operasi tersulit yang memerlukan tingkat ketelitian tinggi dalam dunia operasi jantung. demi memperoleh gelar profesor, Akira rela mengorbankan apapun terutama demi kesuksesan thesisnya tentang operasi batista tersebut sebagai penentu. Atau dia harus hengkang dari rumah sakit tersebut tanpa mendapat apa-apa.

Saat permulaan operasi batista, dokter Akira mengalah pada Ryutaro untuk penentuan pasien pertama. Pasien yang terpilih justru yang memiliki kondisi tubuh yang buruk yang tidak bisa bertahan lebih lama lagi. kemungkinan meninggal saat operasi juga tinggi. untuk dokter Akira, hal ini sama saja disebut bunuh diri. karena di mana-mana pasien yang dipakai dalam percobaan thesis pastilah yang kondisinya baik. kali ini, Ryutaro yang mesti bertanggung jawab jika gagal. dan untuk selanjutnya, dokter Akira berjanji tak mengalah lagi padanya atau siapa pun terutama demi tujuannya.

"Wanita yang mengerikan", kata Ryutaro.

Nah, baru chapter 4 saya baca. Masih menunggu chapter selanjutnya...

Btw, doramanya juga sudah lama tayang tuh di Jepang. Dibuat dalam 2 season berjudul Iryu 1 dan Iryu 2 karena sukses di season 1 nyabet banyak penghargaan. Saya belum nonton sih. Kapan ya...

Bagi yang suka cerita komedi, tenang! Tetap ada selipan kelucuan kok. Justru tingkah Ryutaro itulah yang lucu. Semaunya sendiri. ^^

Psychometrist Eiji

12/17/2008 09:49:00 PM 6 Comments

Komik dewasa terbitan Level Comics khusus Indonesia ini bercerita tentang seorang remaja SMA yang punya kekuatan khusus yang dalam istilah psikologi disebut psikometri. Kekuatan itu muncul setiap kali ia menyentuh benda atau manusia. Karena pada saat itu ia bisa melihat kejadian masa lampau yang berkaitan dengan objek yang disentuhnya tersebut.

Selain Eiji, hanya adik perempuannya dan seorang sahabat dekatnya yang tahu tentang kekuatan tersebut. Namun kemudian ada seorang polisi wanita cantik nan seksi yang mengenali kemampuannya karena ternyata psikometri merupakan topik thesis wanita itu. Tidak tinggal diam, polisi itu mengajak Eiji untuk turut serta dalam penyelidikan dan pemecahan kasus kriminal.

Lantas karena sering berhubungan dengan polisi tersebut maka Eiji dianggap tengah menjalani hubungan khusus oleh teman-temannya di sekolah. Bagaimana kebenarannya?

* Chapter 1. Kasus pembunuhan misterius siswi di sekolah Eiji
Pada kasus ini, adik Eiji hampir menjadi korban setelah berhasil disekap oleh si pembunuh. menegangkan namun sangat mengharukan ketika Eiji berusaha menyelamatkan adiknya. So sweet...^^
Beberapa korban terdahulu meninggal secara tidak wajar dan selalu saja ada tanda pita. Selidik demi selidik, ternyata pembunuh itu tak lain adalah guru matematika di sekolah.

* Chapter 2-3. Kasus pemboman clock Apple
Kasus kali ini lebih berat dan menantang. Eiji beserta adik dan sahabatnya kembali terlibat. Eiji disandingkan seorang partner yang tak lain adalah teman si polwan semasa kuliah. Orang itu bisa langsung menegenali bahwa Eiji adalah seorang psikometris saat pertama kali bertemu untuk bekerja sama. belakangan diketahui bahwa orang itu psikolog.

Pemboman yang terjadi beberapa kali dan menelan banyak orang tak berdosa menghantarkan Eiji untuk mengakhiri kasus tersebut. Sahabatnya yang hampir menelan maut karena terkurung bersama bom, juga adiknya yang hampir mati terkena ledakan bom namun lagi2 diselamatkan Eiji itu tak sia-sia berkorban. Akhirnya sang pelaku pun terungkap di tempat kejadian. Dengan cara menipu sang pelaku, Eiji berhasil menyelamatkan sahabatnya. Lalu siapakah pelaku itu? Hm... Sang psikolog itu. Apa alasannya ya?

Btw, baru 3 chapter inilah yang saya baca. Masih menunggu chapter berikutnya. Sudah ga sabar nih hehe.

Meski bisa dibilang cerita yang diusung lumayan berat (mecahin kasus kriminal). Tapi jangan harap bakal seserius itu ya saat membaca. Dijamin bakal ngakak deh. Banyak komedinya juga. Apalagi Eiji yang emang sering "tanda kutip" manfaatin kekuatannya. Hm... Ditambah si polwan yang selalu seksi. Ugh...

Buat yang penasaran, buruan aja hunting nih komik! Selagi baru nyampe chapter 3. Fun ko bacanya.

Oya, saya masih penasaran nih apa adiknya "suka" ma Eiji ya? Padahal, sahabat Eiji naksir berat tuh ma adiknya. Emang sih mereka punya hubungan sodara alias kakak adik. Tapi kan ternyata mereka ga sedarah. Dan sepertinya adiknya ga pernah menganggap kakak beneran. Lagian Eiji-nya juga sayang kok. Entah kenapa saya lebih suka adiknya dari si polwan. Ga setuju aja kalo Eiji ama si polwan. Tapi entah gimana cerita selanjutnya. Paling-paling juga pemeran utama pria dengan pemeran utama wanitanya kan? Ah, coba Eiji dan adiknya tidak punya hubungan saudara ya. Meskipun tiri kan tetap aja ga boleh punya hubungan khusus pria wanita. Huaaaaaa....

Eiji siapakah yang kau pilih?

Death Note Manga

5/20/2008 05:35:00 PM 0 Comments


Death Note manga by Tsugumi Ohba and artwork by Takeshi Obata is a hit manga that is very cool I think. I enjoy the movie and the anime version. Although there are some differences between the movie and the manga but it doesn't change the main plot. The movie version is ended by Light Yagami's death, a different way of dying but it's more touching I think.

Surely, the story in manga is more complete and clearer. If you want to understand the story, please read the manga. You will never ask someone beside you when you watch the movie. Yeah it's true! ^-^

But I feel that Light is more inhuman in manga. It really visibles that Light doesn't need a girl. I mean he doesn't love his girlfriend. In the movie, at the beginning he has a girlfriend although finally he sacrifices her (so harsh Light!). But I can accept that if Light doesn't get the death note maybe he will not be like that.

One thing I don't want it happen in the manga is L's death. I really love him. So, I love the movie so much. L wins against Kira :D

Yeah, it's too fast to see L's death. And his death is so easy. I don't like it. Then the story after L's death is not interesting anymore to me. M (mello) and N (near) are not as good as L 's act. I don't know if you agree with me or not. It's only my private opinion.

About the Light's death, I see that it's painful so much.

Ah! There's a ridiculous thing about Tsugumi Ohba like written in the second chapter and Weekly Shonen Jump 10th ed, 2004. He said, " May or not i draw shinigami (death god)? Wouldn't get a curse, right? I keep drawing him with full fear feeling."

Just my opinion, maybe shinigami is really exist in japanese people's belief but it's different with my belief. So, i hope you understand to what I said. Peace!

The Black Swindler (Kurosagi)

4/30/2008 11:04:00 AM



There are two kinds of swindler who swind the innocent people without feeling. They are called shirosagi and akasagi. And then what is kurosagi? 

Kurosagi manga is first published in 2004 by Shogakukan Inc, Tokyo. But when I went to a big bookstore in Jakarta, I only found the first chapter. And when I read the front page, it was written that it had just published in 2008 by Level Comics. Yeah... It's too late but it's ok if I still can continue to read the next chapter. Although I can download it in the internet. I just feel that read a book is more enjoyable then read in the monitor. It's so tired!

Ok, continue to the story of hit manga by NATSUHARA Takeshi and artwork by Kuromaru...

A boy, the name is Kurosaki, is the real kurosagi who enjoys his job to swind shirosagi. He does not want to swind another kind people. His motivation is to help the victim to get the money back. There are many cases he solved till he found a girl, Yoshikawa Tsurara, who argues his act. One day, the girl realizes that he does not swind her friend but help her to get the money back from the cosmetics corporation. Bad day for the girl is she has to live in an apartement beside him. Yeah... The girl does not know that the owner of the apartement is Kurosaki. Yay!

Kurosaki is suspected by a police officer who handles educated crime. Actually, the police suspects Katsuragi more then Kurosaki. Katsuragi is an old man who always sell the name of shirasagi to Kurosaki. In other word, it can be called that Katsuragi is the mastermind of all. But Kurosaki does not know anything about this. What is the secret  hidden from him? What will he do if he knows?

And then what will happen to Kurosaki in the next day? Will he spend his life in the jail or die? 

I am still waiting for the next chapter...

Be patient...

if you want to watch the movie version starred by Yamashita Tomohisa and Horikita Maki, it had just released in March 2008. It seems so good. I have not watched it yet. And the series (the same actor and actress) was released previously in 2006.

Just wanna tell to you...
Ah! I am still reading Death Note manga. I bought the 7th chapter yesterday. Yeah... The last chapter sold here. Too late? That's right... The 1st chapter was released in October 2007. Actually, I have already finished watching the movie and anime version. Ho ho so bad...


Greatly, I saw it was arranged in best seller book category in two big bookstores I visited.

Dandelion

What is Dandelion?
It is a complex virus program that always transform. Greatly, the infected area is not machine but human heart.
How come? Who is the creator? Who are the victims? What is the purpose?



Just read the manga to know the answer!


Dandelion manga by OCHIAI Naoyuki is first published in 2001 by Shogakukan Inc, Tokyo.


Maybe you're not strange when hear the word 'dandelion' because it's the name of flower, right? But you have to know the different meaning in this manga, a virus. It's not an ordinary virus like you often find in the internet connection or PC. It's really a complex virus program that infect the people heart.

When i read the first chapter, it still has many secrets about the virus and who is the creator. The main actor in this story is Daigo, the third class of senior high school student who are infected by the virus. Daigo is a hacker. He get the money by being a hacker. He enjoys it so much and he feels that he doesn't need another thing to do.

When suddenly the virus blossoms in his heart, he can't control himself. He doesn't realize what he does. Yup! He can kill someone in front of him by uncontrol strong power from himself. Btw, the victim of the virus is not only him. Up to now, he is the second victim. and another victim will always increase and appear in front of him.

Welcome
This is the garden of your mind
Do what you like and identify yourself

(quote from dandelion website)


Actually, he still can't hack to enter the page of Dandelion website. It's so mysterius to know what the content of the page. Beside that, how the virus spreads and infects the people are still big questions.

The story is more complex with appearance of another figures like Hyogo Satada, Kanade Misasagi, and Riko. Hyogo Satada is a stupid police who wants to solve dandelion case. He's not really strong but he has a big courage we must appreciate. Aah maybe sometimes you will laugh when you look at his act.

Kanade Misasagi is Daigo's friend. She's a daughter of a corporation president. She loves Riko so much but it really surprises me about the ending of the first chapter! Do you want to know what is it? Just read it! ^^

I'm still waiting for the next chapter...
