Love is Hotter the Second Time Around ♥

I thought I was already over it the moment it ended. I thought I was already over with the post-withdrawal syndrome that I experienced after I got to taste what it feels like. And only now did I realize that I’m loving it all over again and this addiction will stay for a while - that is until I finish it for the second time around. Oh yeah, I’m talking about Flame of Recca here. What were you thinking? Hehe.

I got hooked to this hot (literally) Flame Master when it was first aired. I fell in love with it instantly as it reminded me of Yu Yu Hakusho because of their somewhat-similar plot which includes a tournament and a five-member team. But of course they have their own distinctions and later on, what got me really hooked on Flame of Recca was his flame dragons and his burning desire to protect his princess, Yanagi-hime. Yep, I’m a sucker for modern-day-knight-in-shining-armor stories. Hehe.

But I have to admit, I’m a little ashamed of myself for knowing only NOW (when I’m already working) that manga scanlations are available online or else I would’ve known long before that the tournament isn’t the ending of Flame of Recca (Whew! That was a long sentence. Hehe). Blame it on my stubbornness as well for not listening to my officemates when they advised me to read the manga version of Flame of Recca as it’s waaaaaaaaayyyy better than its anime series. I’ve only started reading it recently and yep, it’s indeed way better, it hasn’t failed my expectations. I know it won’t.

Now I can’t wait to finish the entire manga and get to know what happened after the tournament, the twists and turns, and Recca and Yanagi’s budding romance.

I’m off to continue reading now. Recca, surprise me.
