About
Thank you for visiting Otaku Champloo, a little project I made to host my spazzing about mangas and anime in one place. Although primarily this place is more focused on manga, occasionally I’d put a spatter or two about the animes I’ve seen as well. And yes, I should be updating this more often. I really really should. Slap me in my comments if I don’t.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hi. My name’s Khursten. A History Major graduate from the southern isles who has a mild curiosity (okay that was an understatement) for Japan and their mangas.
My life as an otaku is still in its blooming stage, almost there, but not quite there yet. I still have a pocket that stops me from going on an all out manga spree on E-bay. I live in a country that doesn’t have a decent manga shop anymore. Most mangas sold here are English translated and sometimes, reading them in English feels weird.
I studied Japanese just to read the mangas that I have been collecting. Whether I want to take it a bit further, it all depends on the scholarships that come my way. But I love mangas a lot. If I can make a living out of reading manga, I would. Yeah, isn’t that every manga otaku’s dream?
However, being a manga otaku, my memory is not as sharp as those in Akiba. I cannot completely remember who is who and who done what. Hence, when friends ask me about the things I read, I really… can’t remember them. So to help my failing memory, I built this site. When they ask me questions and I happen to have read it, I can just point them towards this direction. More so, it’s nice to have a place to spazz your thoughts on manga. Don’t you think?
Occasionally, my boss, Ed, drags me to spazz a thing or two at Mangacast.
ABOUT THE MANGA SHE READS LATELY…
I’ve been reading a lot of seinen and josei titles lately, particularly seinen. The world of Shounen Jump and Hana to Yume wears me thin lately. I think I’m just growing up. Or I’ve been reading much too many fluff that it kills me.
Currently, I’m reading the following titles:
[Shoujo & Josei]
- Nodame Cantabile
- Otomen
- Kimi ni Todoke
- Shimashima
[Shounen & Seinen]
- Kekkaishi
- Gintama
- Billy Bat
- Historie
- Moyashimon
- Pluto
