And The Plot Thickens
By aimee | March 12, 2011
Before everything else, let’s all offer a time to #PRAYFORJAPAN as they stand back up from the natural calamity brought by the tsunami which hit them on March 11, 2011. It is heartbreaking and frustrating to see all the news broadcasts showing it unfold before our eyes and we can’t do anything. Let our prayers strengthen them.

SPOILER ALERT
You’ve been warned, don’t come yelling curses at me after still reading this. Anyhoo, this isn’t really new information to avid manga readers of Gakuen Alice and Kaichou wa Maid-Sama but you know me, I always like to put in my two cents. Now, onto the news (or not)…
Gakuen Alice has finally reached its final arc! Honestly speaking, even though I religiously follow the manga, I still cannot fully comprehend what is going on. I always find myself going a few chapters back to familiarize myself with the current situation and understand where it last left off so I’d know why it is where it is now. (Err did you get my point? Lol). Constant questions I have plaguing my mind too are these – Who’s who again? Who the heck is this guy/girl? Somehow, the story’s got so complicated with the history and time travel stuff that somewhere in between I got lost. Do you guys have that lost in translation moments too? Or that’s just me? Haha! But I’d have to applaud Higuchi Tachibana, its creator, though. She has successfully attracted us to its story, with all its kawaii 10-year old kids learning and performing their own unique “talent” in this magical academy and with Mikan Sakura’s naive little girl persona and Natsume Hyuuga’s tsundere character, we were hooked. But little did we know that it masks a deeper story of romance, betrayal, and hope (among others) evolving around the academy’s alumni, who are very much connected to the present generation. Who would’ve thought that this seem-to-be-bubbly-and-really-funny-anime will turn out so deep right? Makes you really concur to the saying ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover.’
Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama aka President is a Maid! It took a while (lots of it lol) but Ayuzawa Misaki and Usui Takumi are finally a couple! ♥ (insert major fan squeal here!) After fifty-six chapters of obvious flirting! They sure took their time, eh? Oh well, it is the journey to that happy ending that really gets us screaming for more and hanging on to the edge of our seats right? But is it really a happy ending now? Avid readers already know the answer to that. After not even a whole chapter of being official, another trial has already been cooked up for our fave couple. And thus, I have to rant about that. I know we’ve been given lots of “mushy” stuff between them already but at least give us a chapter or two to see how they act as a real couple now – and not plunge them straight to the tiger’s den (exaggerating here), which doesn’t give much time or room to be all sweet and cuddly (though I doubt “cuddly” to happen haha). But no, Fujiwara Hiro found it the perfect time to say that Gerard Walker, Usui’s half-brother is weak and ill. And this only means one thing in a wealthy family like them – a stronger heir to the fortune is needed, that’s where Usui comes in again. This brings us to the trouble at hand, will they accept Misaki as someone suitable for such a man as Usui’s wealthy stature? No, and that’s no secret given the careful watch and constant interruption by that “ninja” Cedric, Gerard’s faithful companion. What’s to happen now? One thing’s for sure, as Usui said, “No matter what kind of path I choose, if some sort of sacrifice must be made, it is only Ayuzawa who I will not sacrifice. Because I think if I am with Ayuzawa, I can overcome anything.” Let’s hold on to that promise for now. ♥
And so the plot thickens, I say for both. Let’s all stay tuned. Things are about to go up a notch or two.
