moodyChapter 4.15: It’s hard to find a good glue for a broken doll.
Pretty things didn’t last long.
When he was a young boy, Gokudera’s world wasn’t about the next episode of power ranger (“Hey, hey, have you heard? They said the red ranger would defeat that monster!”) or whether Ash would catch his first wild pokemon. There was bad blood, yes, and trainings that just wouldn’t end and hidden poisonous food and that piano lesson whose teacher slammed the piano’s lid on Gokudera’s hands.
Then there was his mother, the only beautiful thing that he could remember from his past. Good person die young, she’d said wisely once, and Gokudera’s dreams were haunted after that, of his mother whose face he would later forget because she’d left him soon, too soon, and then his father who was just so evil he wouldn’t die. His mom died in the end. His dad didn’t. Gokudera knew whom to hate now.
Right in this second the same desperate and frightened feeling filled his lungs up that he couldn’t breathe, because Tsuna was not just a little bit of both; he was more, more, too pretty and too nice, and even he was more than just too pretty and too nice. Just look at him now—still managing to squeeze air out of Gokudera’s chest despite of the bags under his eyes and the downward curves of his lips, pretty, pretty, just like his mother would purr to a cute brown bird on the window sill.

The theme park was very loud and crowded. Adding Nyanko-sensei screeches in the background, the noises were borderline annoying.
“Natsume! Look, look! They have tuna-flavored ice cream! Get me one!”
“Go away,” Natsume mumbled tiredly. “I can’t have my friends see you, can I now?”
“Fool! You should be proud to be seen with such magnificent being as I am!” Nyanko-sensei cried out, his eyes crossing in a skewed v.
The addressed fool rubbed his eyes tiredly. “Go pretend to be a stray cat or something,” Natsume said, pushing the cat away from his lap. Though it’s almost impossible, your pudgy bum could be recognized even from the Statue of Liberty, Natsume added silently, but he was too nice to say that out loud.
( Natsume had always been too nice, it was bad. )

chipper1. A good feedback system.
There should be a box where you can put in numbers what you love to see in Pottermore, because well duh, they certainly need suggestions and new ideas. I believe no one really screened the 140 characters comment on every page, in where people usually dump their feelings about the site as whole, so the developers could not really know what the fans wanted, really. So basically you couldn't send them feedback right now. (And, there are few chances the developers would read my article. Or other blogs' article, I bet.)
annoyedI'm back by opening a t-shirts shop--right now I'm thinking of selling only Drarry stuffs! Anyways, these are the designs that I'm selling right now (yet with more to come):

Summary from Mangafox.com: Mikan Sakura is an orphan who lives in the country side of Japan. When her best friend, Hotaru, transfers away to a prestigious school in Tokyo, Mikan follows her. The school is actually an elite academy for the gifted people with “alices”. When Mikan arrives to the gates of the school, she encounters a teacher and gets enrolled due to a series of events. She is told that she has a unique, rare “alice”. There, she immediately meets Natsume, a moody boy who constantly gets abused by the school. They get along like fire and water, yet they are undeniably attracted to one another. She also gets the chance to meet other people; like Natsume’s caring best friend Ruka, or Iinchou, the class rep. Despite her initial view of the so-called greatness of the school, she slowly finds out that beneath the grand facade of the academy, there is a never-ending stream of lies and buried secrets. The school’s increasingly manipulative and sinister actions towards her make it a dangerous place to be. Little does she know, her enrollment in the school set the gears in motion to an even greater tragedy.
At first, this manga is a fluffy read--it's highly enjoyable and you can't stop cooing every five minutes over the cuteness of it all. I particularly like the love triangle between Natsume, Mikan, and Luca. Luca is really adorable--he can't even call Mikan's first name; while Natsume is your typical possessive guy (which I love because it's amusing and makes me tingly) and an ultimate pervert.
(p.s.: from this part, spoiler is whitened out, so just select--click and drag--the area that's spotless if you wanna see it.)
Then it all goes downhill--this manga should go be categorized as Angst, really. The fluffiness are almost all gone in the latests volume--if there was, it's all the love interaction between Mikan and Natsume (which was basically: "Mikan, I love you so much you're mine and we'll be together forever and I promise I'll save you."). Even though it's highly corny and cliche--this idea of love and the boy is in the verge of death and the girl being extremely annoying and benevolent and such a crybaby I want to hit her to oblivion
I enjoy this angst. I usually don't, but this one? YES. Anyways, last night I was catching up with all the chapters worth one year of Gakuen Alice. It was like one AM, I have to get up at four to have a meal for fasting for a day, and I was like squealing like crazy. IT'S SO GOOD I COULD CRY. I mean, there are parts where I hate (where Mikan being such an angel--the perfection irks me to death) but the kisses between Mikan and Natsume compensate it. Oh my god. Especially the part where Natsume sat on the Christmas tree alone and thought of the last year party when he kissed Mikan square on the lips; and Koko (who was this funny, annoying in a good way, typical blond funny clown kind of guy, AND A MIND READER) was like, "I heard someone on the tree saying, "I REALLY WANNA KISS HER RIGHT NOW". It's so cuteeeee. I'm a sucker for tsundere, possessive kind of guy. GAAAH.
Then they exchanged kisses under the moonlight! (Oh the drama, the angst, the setting!) When they first kissed, I was like, "MOAR MOAR NATSUME JUST KISS HER, HAVE SEX ALREADY YOU GUYS" and for several minutes I was bashing Japanese culture of not just making out already and the girl being all shy and innocent. Gah. If I were the mangaka, I will make them making out throughout the scene and maybe some smush (despite the fact that they are twelve or thirteen). But Natsume kissed her again several times and they said I love you and ALL IS WELL.
Yes, the purpose of this entry is to fangirling. :p And yes, totally a must read.
