Manga: Sousei no Onmyouji

Hi!!

Since it's been a while I'm posting about manga, here's an ongoing manga I found it interesting and exciting. It is written and illustrated by Sukeno Yoshiaki.


Genre: Supernatural, Action, Fantasy, Shounen, Romance, Comedy

Status: Ongoing

About: This story involves 2 young yet talented exorcists, who are destined to be together and fight impurities. They dream to be the strongest exorcist, to have the power that surpass the greatest exorcist in the history - Abe no Seimei. Unbeknownst to them, they are the "twin star", a couple who is able to on the same level as Abe no Seimei and surpass the legend if they have a kid?! The kid will be the strongest exorcist that will exorcise all impurities. However, these 2 youngsters are like fire and water. They argue on almost everything. Also, because of a tragedy that happened 2 years ago, to be a couple might not be the easiest thing. What happened 2 years ago and what will the 2 protagonists do? 

This manga is very exciting and entertaining. There is no one moment of boredom. The evolution of exorcist, from just chanting spell to exterminate youkai to now using spell to enhance own's ability to exorcise impurities, is a great improvement. Will it be more effective or will it bring more harm? Though it is all about exorcising impurities, the characters have plenty of time to be sarcastic, which make the manga lighter to read.

This manga is beautifully illustrated, and I think the characters are drawn more towards the cute side. Probably because they are really young? Or is it because they have a secret to beauty?? (JK) Due to the relation of exorcism to history, the way they dress infused both modern and historical design and also design from the combination of the east and west. Are you excited of what modern exorcist wear? Look below!

Quitting ICAEW (Not official)

Image
It's finally a holiday!! There has been a paused to my blogpost as I was really busy attending classes, studying and taking exams. However, those are not relating to ICAEW. I believed that I have told you of my changing of plan long before I went to volunteer in Japan. Chance arrived shortly after I came back from Japan and I immediately grab hold of the chance to fulfill my childhood dream of being a cabin crew! And now I'm residing in another country to fulfill this dream of mine. So, what about the course that I took? To update you that read my posts because of info on ICAEW, I truly am sorry for quitting halfway (though not officially, as I am still paying for ICAEW's annual student fee and have not sent in any documents to stop all my study altogether), and I have no plan to continue it, not at this moment.  I was hesitating to continue after completing my professional level papers last year March (which surprisingly I managed to get through all of them in

Internship Experience in Ryokan (旅館 - Japanese-styled Hotel)

Image
'いらっしゃいませ' (Irasshaimase!)、'ありがとうございます' (Arigatou gozaimasu!) Very common terms but the most polite terms. These 2 terms accompanied me during my whole internship period.  If you do not know, I internship-ed in Japan for 2 months in the service industry. To know how I came across this internship opportunity, click here .  The ryokans, aka Japanese-styled hotel, that I worked in were Takimotokan Yukinosato (滝元館遊季の里) and Umi no Hana (海の花). They are luxury ryokans strategically located closed to tourist attractions, which provide great hospitality and ultimate relaxation to the guests. Both are ryokans with private and public onsen.  Since the main topic today is my internship experience, I'm not going deep into information of both the ryokans today. I will be writing more information on both the ryokans and the surrounding attractions in another post, or if you can't wait for it, please visit their website! 1. Appearance The first thing I

Internship Experience in Ryoutei (料亭)

Image
Ryoutei is a luxurious traditional Japanese restaurant, which served kaiseki style meals for business and formal meetings (source from Wikipedia). Everyone that goes to a Ryoutei has a purpose. It is not just a simple filling the stomach meal. It can be a business meeting, a celebration, a family meeting, a book sharing session, a reunion, a party or any occasion you can think of, which is why the customers going there are usually dressed formally. Having said that, anyone are welcomed to visit a ryoutei to enjoy the exquisite, delicate meal prepared by a qualified chef and served by the beautiful omotenashi-san (something like waitress?). However, do remember to make a reservation in advance as meals are prepared freshly according to the number of customers. The ryoutei I worked in is called Shikiryotei Sukeroku (粋料亭　助六) currently managed by Okami - Chikage Nakamura and her husband, Hideyuki Nakamura, who is also the head chef of Sukeroku. During my whole internship experie
