Writing again

I've dropped writing since I felt my time getting limited by increasing age. But actually when I don't write I watch movies or any programs in tv. So I was just getting lazier to do anything productive. Not to mention that I've spent 3 years feeling sorry for myself not getting a book deal for a novel that I've written. Life happens. And though I've watched many movies I still don't have any guts to write a single review. Nevertheless now I'm planning to write something, anything again because I've lost my conscience that used to come when I write. Hello.

It's not the end it's the process

I'm fine with a story without ends, what I need is the process that would show that the story will end eventually before the writers passed away. I just hope that they have prepared the ending that can be published posthumously. Japanese mangaka always write long stories so the endings could never occur.

Like the end of Doraemon, I really grateful of the end provided by a fan, that Doraemon was actually built by Nobita. It makes sense in a way that is the reason Doraemon came to Nobita at the first place, why Doraemon chose Nobita among all other kids.

Or the ending of Tintin, Smurf, Lucky Luke. Ugh, sice I can't stand it so I made up all the endings in my mind.

Tintin-not gay- but bachelor forever, I just can't imagine a girl that will fall for a goody goody, unmanly man like Tintin, put aside his hair trend among boys. A great reporter but could die tragically because his streak of lucks end or he could start standing for himself and stop living with Captain Haddock!

Smurf, still out there, but how they procreate, I have no idea since they only have one Smurfin. No wonder they will extinct eventually, with the high tree cutting and forest fire and they are so big! 3 apples height, that's big to get unnoticed.

Lucly Luke- has stopped smoking, showed in latest edition where he only chews a strand of wheat in place of a cigarette. Good job! Less cartoon heroes die of lung cancer. Has kids with talents like him and become great heroes of the west. Bravo!

Master Keaton manga-ending

I have tried to find everywhere for the complete set of Master Keaton but I read that the manga has been banned from publishing because writers conflict, Urasawa Naoki wants his name to be bigger than the late Hokusei Katsushita.

Anyway, I'm still trying to find the DVD and really hopes that someone who knows the ending of this manga can give some explanation here.

I'm guessing that Keaton will find his old love again, given how she cannot stop loving his wive, implicitly explained in the manga and still trying to be a great scholar despite hir other enormous talent as a detective.

glass of mask ending-false

Too bad Suzue Miuchi hasn't published the end of Glass of Mask manga series. Although I will eagerly wait for the ending still the writer is as old as 54 year old (2008) as old as my parent. I just can't hope much that someone as old as my dad could write an ending that can be a satisfaction to readers plus she has shown that her story telling story has become stagnant. (plus I have emailed Ms. Miuchi asking for an ending without avail)

Just see how she still made the age difference between Maya Kitajima and Masumi Hayami an issue. Please... duh. Nowadays, an age difference of 11 years is not a big deal. So it is not relevant anymore. Moreover, if Masumi is still afraid of his father and his inheritance it means that he doesn't think that Maya is more important than his father money. Despite all the spite Masumi and the readers have made to believe that Masumi hates his dad still Masumi showed a rather big wanton of his dad's approval in selecting a wive. Doesn't he want his own happiness? Poor Maya, she is the victim of Masumi's Purple Rose selfishness.

Anyway, Maya also hasn't showed much improvement in adulthood, she still looks like a child. How can she'd ever considered Masumi's wive if she still dresses and acts like a girl. Girl, please change your clothing and your attitude towards people. Talented people are everywhere but they won't get hired if they don't have any connections. If Maya wants to be a great actress she has to be able to talk and chat to people and advertise herself. Without that, her talent will die.

If I get to write the Glass of Mask manga ends I will make Maya a great actress first than after she is famous and important she could come to Masumi and tell him how she feels. If Masumi objects than Maya should forget him, but Masumi wouldn't, given a man he is, and will fight for what he wants. For God's sake, be a man. And being a smart one he should know what he wants and doesn't let two women in pain because of him (Shiori and Maya). By the way, I really don't like a weak character like Shiori, she looks dull and absolutely needy. She has to embrace her strength and stop relying to men in her life. Duh.

Anyway about the plum goddess. I don't know how Maya should win over Ayumi given her last condition. Maya should practice how to make her body too a tool of act than relying too much to her acting talent alone. If she can learn that plus becoming a more attractive woman, I'm sure Ayumi will be crushed. They don't even have to make the second audition for Ayumi because Maya is already too good.

I really like Ayumi, too bad she is only a rival in this manga. I know that she will always be a great rival of Maya and make her own great drama, just not the Plum Goddess.

city hunter manga ending-true

i've read city hunter manga but didn't collect all the series. I forgot how it ended and tried to find one in the internet but couldn't find one. One day I encountered the ending in my library for old manga and read the last edition.

So Ryo Saeba has come to save Kaori and said to the villain that "I better off dead than let anything bad happened to that woman. She means the world for me." Kaori heared that and know that it was the confession of love.. again (since Ryo has declared one but Kaori then got amnesia). Ryo defeated the bad guy and the story came to the end where Ryo and Kaori still lived together (likely still unmarried) and Ryo still chasing girls.. but at least we the readers know or hope that Ryo wouldn't do anything to hurt Kaori's feeling and just did those to jest Kaori. I predict, although the story ends loosely, that eventually Ryo would do anything that Kaori wants, whether it's a marriage, having kids or whatever. He can't be assassin forever right?

I'll give this end an B+, not A because still Ryo showed no redemption or significant change but I couldn't expect better ending.
