She woke up to an unusual smell. That's odd, she doesn't remember anything. As her eyes lazily flutters open, the light blinded her momentarily. After a few seconds of adjusting, her eyes opened once again to see the world. She wasn't in her room, that's for sure. The foul smell of death wasn't always present at her doorstep. Her walls were much livelier before, humming a tune of soft mellow music. These walls were plain like a canvas waiting to be painted on. Attempting to pick herself up, the girl finally realizes how tired she felt despite having woken up minutes ago by the awful smell. After squirming a bit on her bed to get into a comfortable position she takes in more of her surroundings. A beeping sound came from the heart monitor beside her.

She was in a hospital. It should've been obvious enough with the white walls and the smell of chemicals in the air but her mind was not functioning properly after being woken up from what seemed like an eternity. Everything was just so white she was starting to feel sick of it. Just then a beautiful lady came in with a warm smile. Though it looked more of a forced smile from all the stress she's going through ad if you look closely her eye bags would be more prominent than you think. "Good, you've awaken. Are you hungry?" Her voice may sound sweet but don't be deceived, the girl heard an undertone of annoyance from it. Right now the girl couldn't think of anything, the nurse's voice was delivered to her but not her words, there was only one thing on the girl's mind: 'How did I get here?'

Sempai

Obsessed? Nah, just devoted.

What's a sempai? a sempai is a japanese term for an upper class man whom you respect. And I'd like to talk about my sempai. My sempai is very energetic. He may loo scary at first but he's actually really kind. He may like to taunt others but that's what actually makes me like him. He makes a 'scary' face and taunts the enemy or others in general and I can't help but squeal in delight every time I imagine him being possessive over me~! Sempai may not be the best looking in his team but looks doesn't matter . I've seen how kind and how strong he is during games and practices. Although there is someone trying to steal my sempai...

She's beautiful and kind plus she's the manager of sempai's team. I can't help but actually hate her this time. I'm jealous. I admit that. I hate that feeling. The problem is I can't harm her. I can't hurt her because sempai has a crush on her. It breaks my heart to see that every time she comes in the gym, sempai and Noya-sempai fawn over her immediately. Sure she can play well but she doesn't even do much in practices or in games!

I don't now what sempai saw in her. Sure she's beautiful and all but she doesn't even give sempai attention! It annoys me to see my sempai doing his best just for her to look his way but she doesn't even give a damn! Forget about her being kind, she's a total snob who doesn't even deserve sempai! Sempai will love me and he will be mine. I'll do whatever it takes to get sempai's attention. I'm way better than their manager! 'll even take good care of sempai! Sempai is mine and only mine. Who's my sempai you ask? Well t's Tanaka Ryuunosuke!

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Review

Family are always there for you

Another lovely game on the Ps4 and surprisingly it's not an anime. Brothers is a story about two brothers. The story takes place with the father getting sick, both the little brother and the big brother takes him to a doctor. The doctor of that village says that they must go on a quest to find the 'Water of Life' to cure their father. The two boys set out on their journey and the game officially starts.

Brothers is a puzzle game where one player controls both siblings. It's a bit confusing at first since the left joystick and the L2 button are used for the big brother while the right joystick and the R2 button are used for the little brother while L1 and R1 buttons are used to move the camera. Despite it's lack of controls and proper tutorial, I found it fun to indulge myself in a whole new game that I have no idea about. I'm really not quite fond of surprises because I hate the feeling of not being informed, whether it's my birthday or not, I still hate getting surprised.

Though I did enjoy the moments where I had to solve a puzzle in the game what I can interact with and later found some easter eggs in the game. What I loved most of all are the graphics, the music and the story kine. Nothing beats a good story line of a game. Throughout the entire game we slowly come to know more about the big and the little brother. We found out that the little brother can't swim, while the big brother is easily seduced by women. I don't want to spoil anything but that's all I can say for now.

Earning

Evening came quickly. Her lame excuse of a father picked her up from school. She was exhausted from their Physical Education. It was Volleyball and to be honest she didn't expect herself to perform good. Surprisingly she was even praised by her teacher for having some sort of gaming sense? She didn't know what that was but she took it as a compliment. She felt more comfortable with Volleyball since she and her little group of friends play the sport from time to time. She left the car and open the gates to the garage. It was weird that her parents are still together despite them not feeling any relationship at all anymore. Maybe she shouldn't have been so clingy that day.

Who could blame her? She was innocent and afraid to loose both her parents. Ultimately her goal was to use her parent's love an kindness as an opportunity for her survival. After getting a job she'll leave the house with no hesitation. She always hated it there. It didn't feel like home to her ever since she was a baby. Now that they moved from their grandmother's house, she still didn't feel at home with their new location. Ever since she was born she had felt jealous eyes on her, she has seen flying chairs and had her ears bleed from angry shouting. It was no wonder why she was such a weak child.

Afternorm

Today's lunch was a bit lonely. The shadow's presence doesn't count as the best companion to eat with. Now it seemed like news spread and now everyone's avoiding her at school, it was to be expected. It was the same shadow from this morning, the same size and height, the same beady eyes. She was starting to get nervous, is it finally her time to die? Will she finally see Alison again? It was quite the opposite really, she was supposed to die not Alison. Those two were innocent that day. The day of death, the day where someone would have to die within that school.

Inevitable is such a negative word. But there are many things that were inevitable, like Alison's death. The man was strong, too strong. By the time she returned with the police, Alison's corpse remained in place of the murderer. It was horrifying. Seeing her best friend's corpse made her nauseous. Her funeral was held a few days after and school was suspended for a week. Apparently the killer was still around the area so people were advised to stay indoors. A week is too short, much too short for her. She could't forget it. Alison's last words were still stuck in her mind.

Mourning

She can feel it. The stares of her classmates burning through her skin. She can almost hear their whispers and she knew exactly what they were talking about. Alison Porter died. She witnessed it. Her dead was very quick and not too painless. It was inevitable. It wasn't her fault. No one sat next to her that morning. No one talked to her. No one asked her if she was okay. No one was there for her. No one but those things. They stuck by her like glue. They were naturally silent creatures, she hasn't heard them make a sound that is. She concluded that they were mute. It wasn't like she was seeking for their comfort, no. She could never seek comfort from those things.

There was one shadow that stuck by her. Almost as if it was comforting her. She ignored it's presence as usual but this shadow was persistent. Usually after twenty minutes or so they would have went on their way but this shadow has stuck to her ever since she woke up today. She would glance at it from time to time then ultimately ignore it but it was starting to disturb her a bit. She has to act normal, after all, today is a school day.

My Hero Academia Review

Another 'Super' Anime

Main Characters of My Hero Academia

Another new anime that I actually like, what a surprise. It's concept is a lot like One Punch Man. It's based around the world of 'super heroes'. In the anime, 80% of the world's population are born with some kind of power. They call this power as their 'Quirk'. Our main hero, Izuku Midoriya ironically doesn't have any quirk despite both his parents having one. He dreams of becoming a hero even if he is quirkless. He then meets his favorite hero All Might and was then chosen as his next successor. All Might, the number one hero, had seen the kindness and heroic act that Izuku had displayed in town when his frenemy was captured by a villain.

The anime may sound very mainstream with a simple plot but the passion, the emotion, the drama, the screenwriting were just so astounding. I was able to relate myself with the main character because he's depicted as a weak scrawny-looking boy who can't stand up for himself when being bullied by his frenemy. We both didn't have anything at first and would always be the easy target to bully. When All Might had granted Izuku his quirk, I saw a reflection of myself discovering the wonders of art. I love drawing, and Izuku loves heroes. I want to be an artist he wants to be a hero.
