  Today's poem was inspired by the classic shojo anime "The Rose of Versailles". The original manga is by Riyoko Ikeda. In about a week a reboot movie for the series is coming out! The first above is of the ending song of the original anime (from 1979) and the second video is of the trailer of the upcoming reboot movie.  Here's my poem inspired by the series: "There is a revolution On the horizon I feel it in my soul The citizens of France Can’t stand What this monarchy is doing This young king and queen Just engage In frivolous trivial petty matters Spending spending spending Tax money On dresses On jewelry On royal balls Meanwhile The average citizen Doesn’t have enough money For the doctor Or food Or any other basic necessity Oh dear I wonder how all this will be viewed In the future When this part of French history Is recorded And then studied."

The last time I made a post talking about anime was way over a year ago! I have sooo many favorite shows, and I want to talk more about them. Here are parts 1 and 2 if you missed them or want to see them again. 1. Several of the Pretty Cure series.  PreCure is a magical girl franchise has been going on since 2004, and every season is a different story. So far my favorite seasons that I have seen are: HeartCatch Precure (the first one I watched!), Delicious Party Precure, Star Twinkle Precure, and Soaring Sky PreCure. Every season follows the same formula: an alternate magical world gets in trouble with some bad guy and their minions. Some magical being (usually an animal-like fairy) comes to our world to seek out the PreCure, the teenage girls from our world who become magical to fight the monsters the bad guy tries to attack our world with. As more monsters appear, they become more powerful, our protagonists have power-ups, and then they defeat the big bad! The series overall ha...

 TW: Suicide attempt This was another manga I picked up on a whim at the library.  Our Dreams at Dusk   by Yuhki Kamatani is about a teenage boy named Tasuku who is gay and has been in the closet for a while, but he thinks he's been outed after some classmates took a look at his search history on his phone. Tasuku gets very distressed and tries to jump off of a high building, but is stopped in his tracks when he sees a mysterious person jump off of the same area but they land unharmed, and they enter a small building that looks like a clubhouse. Tasuku decides to check out that small building and finds out it is a drop-in center for people like him (part of the LGBT community!) to socialize, and the mysterious person who he saw earlier runs the place. They preferred to be called Someone-san.  Tasuku starts talking to Someone-san and the rest of the people in the club, and they tell him he is allowed to drop in (hence the name) anytime he wants to hang out. Tasuku sl...

  But I can't do a full review because it's book four. I will let you know it's just as beautiful as the previous three. 5 stars from me! I love how groundbreaking the mental health representation is in this specific volume.  I can't wait for volume 5! I will also be checking out the Heartstopper Yearbook and everything else Alice Oseman has to offer us in Nick and Charlie's world. You can check it all out at her website here (also comes with trigger warnings for all of her books!).  I'm really passionate about Alice Oseman's works. Is there an author you're really passionate about too?

  This book is proof Lyla Lee is one of my favorite authors ever! Flip the Script is a YA Contemporary book about a Korean-American girl named Hana who lives in South Korea. She is an actress debuting in a new K-Drama called Fated Destiny alongside a teenage K-pop sensation named Bryan. As the show starts airing on TV, it isn't doing so hot on ratings, so the company president makes a decision for Hana and Bryan to start fake-dating, thinking it will boost viewership if fans see the actors "dating". Hana and Bryan aren't too sure about it, but they want their acting careers to take off, so they initially agree to do it. However, Hana has a secret: she's bi, and she has had a long time crush on her best friend and veteran K-Drama actress Minjee. Things start to get intense when a decision is made to cast Minjee as the love rival character in the show. Now Hana, Bryan, and Minjee all start trying to achieve their individual goals when it comes to their love lives ...
