Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge: Nabeshin’s latest work. Four bishounen get to live in a huge mansion, on the condition that they can make the owner’s niece (who is the worst gothic horror-freak possible) into a lady. It’s sense of humour is based on energy. Lots and lots of energy, and over-the-top dialogues. Obviously, the entire concept of bishounen is made ridiculous. Few series can claim to have as much energy as this one, and the result turned out hilarious, though it’s got a few problems.

Story & Characters

Sugar Sugar Rune is the story about two young witches from the Magical World, Chocola and Vanilla.

They are the two candidates to be the next Queen of their World, so they are send to Earth as a last test; they have to steal hearts.
Vanilla is a shy girl, daughter of the current Ruler, Vanilla is the daughter of the last Queen candidate that didn't pass the exam.
Their popularity in the human world is totally different from how things were in the Magic Kindom, where the tomboyish Chocolat was loved and liked by all the boys, and Vanilla, the shy and cute girl, wasn't like very much for her weak character.

They disguise themselves as humans and start living in the Human World, trying to capture hearts while avoiding being discovered.

The story may seems childish and another magical girl manga; but it has some good points that sets it appart from other stories of this kind.
For once, the girls are using the magic for their own profit, and not to help people.
Also, stealing the hearts of people, is usually what the bad guys of magical girl series do. These girls must make humans to have feeling for them, and then, steal them away.

A darker plot is introduced later; with a misterious man, Pierre, who may be a dangerous enemy for the witches; and uses them for his own dark purposes.

The anime is already finished, with 51 episodes. The manga started in 2003 and is still being released, with volume 8 coming out in Japan on July 13th.

Yusuke Urameshi is a street-brawling delinquent with a tough guy approach to everything. Yusuke's mother Atsuko, an alcoholic, had him at the age of 14 and took a backseat in raising her son. He has a reserved seat in the guidance counselor's office, and numerous other delinquents in the city are constantly trying to take him on. Yusuke is pretty fed up with his life.

However, no one expects a sudden act of heroism on his part: he dies trying to save a little boy from a speeding car. When he arrives in the afterlife, he is informed that the child would have miraculously survived, and had it not been for him the child would have one less scratch on his right arm. His act of heroism, therefore, was "completely pointless". Yusuke's premature death was unexpected and unnecessary, and the afterlife was not prepared for his arrival.

After numerous tests to gauge his worth, Yusuke is eventually revived, and is assigned to work for the Spirit World as a detective investigating demon cases in the human world. He comes into spiritual abilities of his own, and enlists the help of numerous friends from Reikai (spirit world), Makai (demon world, translated in the English manga as the Demon Plane) and Ningenkai (Human World) to aid him in his cases as they fight off demons and humans seeking to rule over all three worlds.

During the course of the story, the crew contend with both other less moral pirate crews and the Navy. The latter are the subordinates of the World Government, who apparently seek justice by ending the Golden Age of Pirates. Many background story elements involve the delicate balance of power between the World Government and the world's most powerful pirate crews.

The story of Dragon Ball follows the life of Son Goku, a monkey-tailed boy loosely inspired by the traditional Chinese novel Journey to the West (???). The Dragon Ball franchise continues until Goku becomes an adult. The franchise then changes to Dragon Ball Z. During his life, he fights many battles and eventually becomes the strongest martial artist in the entire universe. He is not without help, however, as the manga has a large ensemble cast of martial artist heroes and villains which provide the conflicts which drive the story.

The eponymous Dragon Balls are one component of the universe, but are not the focus for most of the plot lines. The Dragon Balls themselves are seven magical orbs which are scattered across the world. When assembled, they can be used to summon Shenlong, the dragon who will grant one wish within its limit. After the wish is granted, the Dragon Balls are scattered again across the world and become inert for one year. In times past, it would take generations to search the world and gather the Dragon Balls. In the beginning of the story, however, a 16 year old genius girl named Bulma has created a “Dragon Radar” to detect the Dragon Balls and made the process far easier than it was originally intended to be.

But such pursuits require a license, and less than one in a hundred thousand can pass the grueling qualification exam. Those who do pass gain access to restricted areas, amazing stores of information, and the right to call themselves Hunters.
