| 1:21pm | The Last Uniform | | | | I found what I assumed to be the last copy of The Last Uniform on the shelves of Kinokuniya. It was misplaced alphabetically and since Seven Seas mangas are bigger in dimensions than the others (e.g. Tokyopop), it caught my attention. I heard of this manga before but it has a cheesy and emo title (TEH... | | |

| 2:19pm | Your & My Secret - Body Switching Has Never Been So “Right” | | | | I remember reading Pretty Face where the male protagonist had a face plastic surgery after an accident.

| 4:06am | I Chose the Guitar | | | | Since young, there were times when I wanted to enroll myself at the music school just to learn an instrument or two.
