Website I am loving

This time I am not going to blab about what I am reading. I wanted to mention a few places I go to get my fix. I do most of my reading on my laptop. My desktop is on the fritz but more importantly I can bring my laptop with me and read stuff I have downloaded. However, that means limited memory. I have anime I watch downloaded on it to. So, here is a site I like to go for reading stuff online: www.mangafox.com The only complaint I have it sometimes it take a bit for a page to load. Sometime it goes fast and other times I have to wait so I usually go off to another site and read fanfiction...lol. There is a ton of stuff to read there. Another fun place is: www.myanimelist.net  It is great place to find new manga and anime. It is a community where you can see what other people and reading and watching. Read reviews and talk to others. I recently joined and have been lurking. I have been lax on adding to my list so it is very small but I will add to it when I get time. I don't have much so it could take a while. My name there is perphila if anyone wants to say hi. Anyway, check these places out and have fun exploring...:)

Beauty Research Club


I just started reading this one. I am only in the third chapter of volume three. Why did I start reading it? I saw a blurb about how whenever this girl sees someone beautiful she throws up. I could only imagine how funny that would be and I was in mood for funny. I remembered reading Wallflower/Perfect Girl Evolution and how Sunako would get nose bleeds from seeing anyone beautiful and that was rather funny. But, throwing up? Even better I thought rubbing my hands together in glee. However so far I am disappointed in the fact she has only gotten nausea and not hurled. I feel like I am just waiting for it now. Ok, some basics. Makoto is pretty herself (maybe she shouldn't look in the mirror) but the naive type ( which I am enjoying since it makes one the other characters crazy). She meets Kiyoshi and Atsushi. They are brothers and both beautiful. Atsushi (not his real name?) is kind of mean but since she is not the sharpest tack in the box even when he is about to ravish her she thinks he is only helping her. It drives him nuts to think he has this rep as a nasty guy and she thinks he is the gentle type. Kiyoshi falls for her instantly since she can't stand to look at him. Atsushi however is beginning to fall for her himself kicking and screaming against it. So you can see where some of this is going. Makoto seems to be liking Atsushi at this point. As for the title, Beauty Research Club. It is their school club which Makoto is forced to join by Kiyoshi in order for him to be near her. The brothers (Atsushi was blackmailed into joining by Kiyoshi) and the other two members minus Makoto research beauty each in their own way. I have found it funny. Not sidesplitting but certainly and snicker or two. Now if she would just THROW UP on Kiyoshi he might not keep bugging her. I am waiting patiently.
