This season, as we etch our way into the holiday of love, I would like to present the newest and most amazing story of survival and trail in manga history. (Sorry Astro Boy and Vampire Knight) This tells the irreplaceable tale of Shizuka Shiroyama and her supposed love Mamoru Tadami. Shizuka has a disease, known as Translucent Syndrome, where she goes translucent on certain parts of her body. This disease is well known and yet little have it, but there are no sickness symptoms or a cure. Though she has trouble seeing herself, Mamoru sees her clearly as she lives in fear of Fully Transparent Syndrome--- when the disease progresses to where she permanently disappears. They later find out that the disease ties to emotions. Happiness and love can make them almost to completely visible, but sadness can bring then back to constant translucent states until they become permanently transparent. With that, Mamoru makes it a mission in his own way to make Shizuka happy, developing more and more love for her.

The secret meaning to this story is that childhood is like Translucent Syndrome, where we isolate ourselves in sadness and show our true selves in our happiest of moments. With this story opening hearts to alot recently, though the final volume was released four years ago, many want this as a manga or movie and for it to be seen. For her to be seen.

I'm sure some of you know about Lee SeungKyu's death in a motorcycle accident. He was a great actor, starring in "Glory of Youth" and "Woman of Matchless Beauty, Park Jung Kum", so we love him and we will miss him.
Have you heard the news about both Girls' Generation and Tokyo girls' Style? YoonAh is expecting a guest at the dorms and it is rumored to be TGS leader, Miyu. This news has not yet been confirmed but it is possible that, seeing as their companies have ties to each other, that they would soon breach a connection. Maybe they are thinking of a 14-part song (because Girls' Generation has 9 members and TGS has 5) or just want to trade advice and spread the word of each others talent... Not that Girls' Generation needs help, being world leaders for music. 
Still this is quite the bittersweet post.

Tokyo Girls' Style is a group of teenage girls my age that are very talented and extremely fashionable. Named goth-loli fashionistas of the half-decade by the Memphis Chinese Times. they are known for their soft but strong voices, adorable outfits, and youthful glow.
They are supposedly the best group of that age and very well in-tune with their star-to-human instincts (look up on my Facebook) and that was proven in their video for "Kodou no Himitsu/ Secret Heartbeat".  I, being a fan  of them, decided to ask for two favors--- an interveiw and an invite to my birthday party next year. I got a maybe to the party -_- but a definite yes to the interview. I will post the questions and answers later on.
