So, Soul Silver? Heart Gold?

We can make a fort, and this time it won’t even be no girls allowed. Well maybe, depends.

From Ningin: Manga is a word literally meaning “whimsical pictures.” The first mangas were drawn during the 12th century on scrolls, usually depicting humorous antics or ordinary every day life. However people today argue as to what was the first era of manga and debate between centuries. More »

From Ningin: What exactly is a Pikatron? Is it a guitar? Nope. Is it a weapon? Negative. Is it a new video game controller? Naw. It’s a noise synthesizer and I want one! More »

It’s that time again bento boxers. This week saw the kickoff of two Rekuru specials, the Akira Kurosawa Tribute Month as well as our New Year’s Resolution Week so if you haven’t checked them out, do so. Between a classic film review and a hoard of new year’s resolutions, there’s plenty of good readin’ to be had.

This week was a busy week here at Rekuru with 2009 drawing to a close and countless End of the Year Specials across Rekuru and its sister-sites. With posts ranging from the 10 best DS games of the year, to a 2010 wishlist, to even a look back at Japan this past year, this was a trip down memory lane you don’t want to miss. Also worth mentioning was the announcement of Akira Kurosawa month which is guaranteed to be amazing. Just saying. More »

From Ningin: I absolutely love to read. I read everywhere I go- when I’m riding the bus, when I’m in class (though I’m not suppose to), when I’m cooking (which sometimes leads to disastrous results), when I’m fantasizing about kissing Daniel Henney under the stars- just name a place and I’ll read there. Do you know what kind of book I like to read the most? Manga of course! Mangas are like picture books ranging all ages and I wish I had a library full of them. More »
