Kagerou Days Chapter 21




Konnichiwa~
Kagerou Day chapter 21 was released!
Hiyori’s whereabouts are still unknown, but we do learn a few new pieces of information.
1) Konoha has been looking for HIibaya and Hiyori. Since the Mekakushi Dan is indebted to him, they’ve decided to help them find them. He was very happy to have found Hibaya, but he isn’t happy to see Konoha one bit. We know from Konoha’s State of Mind that he was present during the car accident that killed Hibaya and Hiyori, that he was trapped in the Heat-Haze along with them. Is it possible that he escaped and has been trying to get them out of it? I don’t know, that’s just a little theory I have, don’t have too much evidence to back it up. But Ene was unable to locate her, is it because she’s fallen into a different world, trapped in a timeline that Hibaya escaped from? And there's also Konoha's reaction to Hibaya leaving him and Kano coaxing him "At least his alive".
Konoha is so cute in this, he really
cares about Hibaya.
Anyway, Hibaya’s angry towards Konoha was interesting, for some reason I always thought they had an okay relationship. Maybe there was a little jealousy in it since I’ve read that Hibaya is aware of Hiyori’s crush on Konoha, but I don’t think jealousy would explain the disgust and rage of his gaze. Then while watching Outer Science, a theory came to me: in the mv, there's a scene of Kuroha killing each member of the Mekakushi Dan; he pushes Hibaya into the street, he looks at Kuroha shocked and frightened. Well its not really a theory, but maybe Konaha was Kuroha in that time loop without having realized it. It would explain why he look so hateful. Just a tiny theory though
2) Mary has a book that outlines the future of the Mekakushi Dan. Momo in this mysterious book was referred to as “The Captivator”. Apparently it didn’t specify how they would find her, simply that she existed. Mary is the one resetting time and people’s memories, and I wonder if that includes her own. Part of me believes that Mary is very aware of everything, another part of me thinks that it might be a semi-conscious action and that she doesn’t entirely remember. Perhaps she writes what she does remember this book. A book to help her gather her precious friends once again.
Though the chapter didn’t answer too many questions, it did provide a little bit of new information and new questions. I can’t wait for the next chapter. Perhaps Hibaya will reveal Hiyori’s whereabouts, or perhaps he won’t remember a thing.
Before I end the post, I'd just like to mention the Mekuka City Actors, or the Kagerou Day anime, will be released with April. There are already several voice actor teasers. All the voices so far and perfect! I really can't wait for this anime. If you want to check them out, just click on the link

Puberty Medley Synopsis and Review

                Hey guys its Ms. Lee Minho, today I am reviewing a super short drama. I haven’t been reviewing  a lot of dramas lately I don’t know why;  there has just been a lot of kpop stuff that I wanted to talk about. So the drama is called, Medley of Puberty it came out In 2013 July 10th and ended on July 31st, 2013. The drama is only about 4 eps long but more than an hour each ep. It’s truly one of those dramas in which you are super sad that it ends and it is not long enough, a lot more could have been done with it. It was freaking incredible.
                Choi Jung-Woo is always moving cities, towns, and schools. His family never settles because of his father’s job. He decided when he was small not to be-friend students because he knows he would eventually move. He moves to a small town and he goes there with the same expectations. He then agrees to fight with Lee Yeok-Ho who is the toughest guy but he is also very sweet and caring if you get to know him. He also decided to accept to sing in the school contest that will be aired on T.V. He then asks Yang A-Young who is the presidents of the class to be his girlfriend and she surprisingly says yes. He does this thinking that he is going to move to Seoul in two weeks but something unexpected happens which makes his time in that school very memorable.
                This drama was far fetched; it’s a very simple high drama with friendship and romance.  Simple dramas like this that are good are hard to find once you have been watching dramas for a long time. The actors did an incredible job; the main actor Kwak Dong-Yeon who played Choi Jung-Woo did boundless which this was his first lead role. A scene that I watched which I can’t forget about  was when Lee Yeok-Ho who is played by Choi Tae-Joon is getting beat up for some reasons then Jung-Woo’s friend  Im Deok-Won  played by Kwak Jung-Wook decides to get in the fight remember this kid is always getting bullied and so he gets his ass kicked. At that moment Kwak knows that he should enter the fight to defend the friend but he instead runs always because he just couldn’t do it. Usually we see the main character getting into the fight without thinking about it twice and at the end he is able to beat up everyone. This showed how a high school student really is; it displayed him as an awkward, weak character still trying to figure himself out. He is able to relate to many high school students who are his age. I really liked that he wasn’t that strong 16 year old hero; he was just a normal boy who was too scared to fight.  I liked watching Kwak Jung-Wook act in this drama because he character was totally different from the roles he played in school 2013 and Shut Up flower Boy Band this time he was getting bullied and he look adorable instead of being a jerk.  I also enjoyed the love between Choi’s character and Yang A-Young played by Lee Se-Young; it was a very innocent high school love; an unforgettable one as well. They don’t have to worry about having rich parents keeping them apart they just have to worry about school which in reality that is how high school love is. Towards the end they start having some problems but not super stressful ones like other dramas. What I loved the most about the drama is that my Love Jonghyun from CNBlue came out; I totally freaked. Overall this drama is a great watch.

                If you want an innocent, simple, high school love and friendship drama this one is perfect. It is very short and by the end of it you will be wanting more but at the same time you will be satisfied with what happened. The soundtrack was great I enjoyed watching the intro for every ep and I still listen to it. I recommend this drama to everyone so go please go watch it, I beg you.
