Oh boy! The hot Ichigo Kurosaki is back! The 4th. film of "Bleach" is here. Bleach: Hell Chapter (BLEACH 地獄篇 Burīchi Jigoku-Hen) is the fourth animated film adaptation of the anime and manga series Bleach. Directed by Noriyuki Abe. The film's theme song will be "Save The One, Save The All", performed by T.M.Revolution and its screenplay is written by Natsuko Takahashi and Ookubo Masahiro, with Tite Kubo, author of the manga, himself overseeing the production.
The length of this animation movie is about 95minutes. The story is about when the gates of Hell appear in Karakura Town and strange spirits called Unforgiven (Togabito) escape, Rukia Kuchiki and Renji Abarai are sent to investigate. Ichigo Kurosaki's family is targeted by the Unforgiven, who are led by Shuren, and Ichigo's younger sister Yuzu Kurosaki is abducted. An Unforgiven named Kokutō saves Karin Kurosaki from being abducted as well, and convinces Ichigo to accompany him and the Soul Reapers to Hell to save her. On the journey to Hell, Ichigo's Hollow mask begins to spontaneously manifest and Kokutō warns him to avoid using it lest he lose control and hollowfy entirely. Ichigo, Rukia, Renji, Ishida, and Kokutō battle Shuren and the other Unforgiven, and it becomes apparent that Shuren plans to use Ichigo's hollow powers to escape Hell. After Shuren and the other Unforgiven are defeated, Kokutō betrays Ichigo and reveals he was the true leader of the Unforgiven and the one behind Yuzu's kidnapping. Kokutō kills Yuzu and an enraged Ichigo hollowfies, blasting Kokutō with his Cero, destroying most of the chains binding Kokutō to Hell and burning through the gates of Hell. Renji breaks Ichigo's Hollow mask and grabs Yuzu's corpse while they are extracted by Soul Society, but Rukia, Renji, and Ishida are captured. When Yuzu spontaneously revives, Ichigo, despite being forbidden to do so by Soul Society, returns to Hell to rescue his friends and confronts Kokutō, who killed Renji and Ishida and was torturing Rukia. Resisting hollowfication, Ichigo undergoes a transformation after being given power by the Hell guardians, becoming covered in bones, and defeats Kokutō, bringing his friends back to life and escaping Hell as the gates repair themselves and vanish.

Kaicho wa Maid-Sama - Chapter 63 – The strongest maid in School. This maid seems like in LOVE deeply!!!
Konnichiwa minasan! I just finished reading the chapter 63 of KWMS in the Chinese version. This is another interesting chapter, thus, I will brief the story to you all while waiting for the PO English scan. Enjoy reading! :)
“Welcome back! Misaki-chan!” The boss of the maid latte welcomed back Misaki in a high spirit way. She was excited to ask Misaki about the happenings of the field trip between her and Usui as it was their 1st high school field trip after they started dating and she was expecting some exciting things had happened to them. However, Misaki had decided not to say anything after she recalled what had happened in the night of the raining, that she had hugged Usui.
One week after the field trip, the school students were gossiping about the matter of the Devil School Prez and Usui were a couple. Some students were whispering at the back of Misaki that they wondering was it a truth or just a rumour and all the students were looking at Misaki. (Misaki - gossip target no.1). Shizuko said to Misaki, “the whole school has known about the rumours!” Sakura-chan also asked Misaki, “Is it ok for you for such matter?!” Misaki then answered them “As a matter of fact, I couldn’t do anything now!”.
Usui suddenly appeared and grabbed Misaki by her shoulder and said “this is what we are looking forward!”. All the students were surprised by him. (Usui – gossip target no.2). Misaki then swung Usui’s hand off from her shoulder and said, “You gotta behave yourself as here is school!”. Usui was depressed by it. Sakura-chan then told Misaki that she should not treat Usui like that as he was her boyfriend and that was the reason the students said it was a rumour that both of them were couple. Misaki then heard a few boys whispering, “See? This is just the rumour as Usui is just playing with her!” The school boys then said the only person who liked the Devil School Prez was the transfer student, named Hinata, as they were childhood friends and Misaki was more lady in younger time as now had became the Devil woman. They even suspected if Misaki would fall in love, as she did not know how to do housework, cooking. They continued saying that Usui was totally different from Misaki that he did everything perfectly and the ordinary girls did not match to him, thus the school girls of the Seika High were the ones to out of the list in first place. Sakura-chan was very mad after she heard all those boys said about it. She could not hold her temper anymore once she heard the boys said “It’s impossible for Usui-sempai to choose the school Prez!” Sakura-chan then started to quarrel with the boys and said that was how a girl who was in love like and moreover Misaki was a cute girl. The boys were shocked to hear that and disagreed to Sakura-chan. Shizuko tried to calm Sakura-chan down. Misaki and Usui were shocked to see the happenings.
Then the students came out with a ‘Valentine’s Day Battle for Usui!” on the Valentine’s Day. All the admirers or fans of Usui could confess to him and also gave him the chocolate on the Valentine’s Day. Misaki was shocked for the battle and Sakura-chan apologised to her that she had caused all the troubles. Misaki then apologised back to them instead as because of her that her 2 friends had gone through all the troubles. Sakura then suggested to Misaki that if Usui accepted her hand-made chocolate on the Valentine’s Day, it was the proof that both of them were lovers. Misaki was stunned to hear that as she said as a school Prez how she could do it. Then the 2 friends were asking Misaki which one was more important as a School Prez or as the lover of Usui, and she could not answer. Usui saw such scene and said, “it is a hurt for me for not answer the question!” Misaki then asked Usui what he thought of the battle. He answered , “I think the battle is interesting and especially I’ll receive the hand-made chocolate from Ayuzawa’s love in a shyness way in front of all the students…I’m really looking forward for the day!” Misaki was shocked to hear that and was restless too.
When the boss of the maid café knew that Misaki would like to make the chocolate for Usui, she was so excited by nose-bleed and got all the maids and the kitchen workers to teach and help her on the chocolate making. At first, Misaki was clumsy for the making chocolate but then she really put her effort to do it after she knew all her friends were helping her and Usui was looking forward to it.
The day of the battle. SAKURA and Shizuko and other students were in a strong fighting spirit whereas the Misaki was not in the spirit. Usui was sitting in the middle. The battle began, the boys started to give advice to Usui that make sure he did not date with the girls of Seika High, some even showed him the photo of his sister as want to introduce to him, and some gave him chocolates and all were rejected by Usui. Then it was the girls’ turn as the girls gave him the chocolates weather as love or friendship, all were rejected by Usui too. Usui was telling them “I’m sorry, I can’t accept it! Sorry! Sorry!”
There was a silence after 30 minutes, all the admires or fans of Usui had been rejected by Usui. They were all feeling down. Usui was also not in the mood. The last person was Misaki, and Sakura told her “Gambetta!” When Misaki was walking towards to Usui, the students started to make noise and looking at them. Misaki told Usui, “You made me realised that you really are a popular person, as compared to me, I was totally different from you..I’m the Devil School Prez and want to have strong power; therefore I have to be strict for myself!”Misaki was thinking that because of Usui, that she had fall in love. She continued to say, “I’ll definitely cut off this battle if it was 1 year ago without asking any questions!” “Maybe!”Usui said. Misaki then took a deep breath and shouted out “I love Usui! Please accept it!” and handed out the chocolate to him. Everyone was surprised to hear and see that and then there was a silent.
The boys were whispering again and said if Misaki was doing the confession to Usui. Misaki was thinking to herself that her confession was not in a ladylike manner. Usui then taken the chocolate from her and the boys were shocked to see it and they could not believe that he accepted it. When the chocolate box was opened, they saw the chocolate was not look like chocolate but otherwise, and Misaki was mad to hear that. But Usui put the chocolate into his mouth and the boys were shocked to see he was eating it. Usui swallowed the chocolate and said “Mmm… it’s taste good!” He was licking his finger too and continued to say, “It’s my girlfriend who hand-made it by herself!” The boys were shocked to hear it and wanted Usui to explain about it. Thus Usui stood up and grabbed Misaki by her shoulder to stand close to him and said, “I also love Ayuzawa, therefore we are in love with each other, as people said lovers. I can’t accept anyone else but Ayuzawa.” The boys were shocked for it and some still said it was impossible or unbelievable. Then they said it was their first time to see such School Prez with the blushing expression. They still wondering why it would be the Prez and they said luckily Hinata had gone to work as he could not see such happening. His friends said that Hinata had never given up on Misaki.
On the other hand, Hinata visited Misaki’s family after his work. They even offered him the cake as Misaki was yet to be home. Misaki’s sister told him that Misaki had to work late and asked if he wanted to wait for her. Then he decided to leave as he did not want to disturb them.
“This is the first time that I took a long way to go home.” Misaki told Usui. Usui was glad for it and he was wearing Misaki’s scarf (the present to him from her). “But you said you will make me happy for the day!” Usui replied to her. “What?! You have misunderstood my meaning!” she said. Usui was smiling and said “I’ve nothing to say as I’ve been rejecting for the whole day. I’m very, very happy for the day!” “I’m kinda pissed off for it due to someone”, Misaki said. “Oh…c’mon!”he said. Both Misaki and Usui were holding hands and walked back home. On the other side at the Maid Café, the idiot trio was very depressed due to Misaki was day off on the Valentine’s Day.
End of the chapter.

The story is about a school-girl named Yuzuru, a fifteen year old girl who is attending her first year in Houjou Academy. At her summer job, she met a troublesome rich boy, Renge Kai, who is attending the same school as her. Kai is part of the Kugeka, a class opened only to the rich students of Houjou. At the end of the summer break she finds out that she has become Kai's "Honey".

Title : Honey x Honey Drops / Mitsu x Mitsu Drops
Genre : Comedy, Romance, School-life, Shoujo, Sports
Author : Kanan Minami
Volumes : 8 or 45 chapters
Status : Completed
Episodes : 2 (OVA) (27 minutes each episode)
Story :
Hagino Yuzuru is a common girl who takes a normal course of Houjou High School. When she works a part-time job during summer break, she makes trouble with Renge Kai of the Kuge course which many rich people take. After the summer break, she finds that she was chosen as Kai's "HONEY". The HONEY is a partner of a MASTER (usually, Honeys are used for companionship and to aid their Masters so that they can graduate and go on to run their respective family businesses, and usually are so close that they become lifetime partners), a Kugeka (in Japanese, Kugeka means "nobility") course student, to take care of him until he graduates from the school, and the HONEY is chosen from the normal course student. The HONEY is exempted from paying tuition fee. It is a fascinating condition for Yuzuru because her family is badly off. However, if she quits being HONEY, she will be expelled from the school. Getting involved with Renge Kai, one of the special students, could be a big mistake for Yuzuru.
Throughout the story, Renge-Kai starts showing different personalities to Hagino-Yuzuru. He makes special exceptions for her, which he's never done with his other Honeys but always under the guise of "punishment" for Yuzuru because she embarrassed him when she first met him at an expensive hotel, working as a waitress. Yet he's still considerate in his own way towards her, and feelings start to grow. At first, Yuzuru is tied to Kai as his Honey by force, with an earring of a lotus she can't remove, and the tuition fees that will be free. But as time goes on she starts to tie herself willingly to him, even when his family cuts the funding to her tuition, she still stands by him as his Honey. Renge becomes more fascinated with her, and willingly carries his Honey's bag, makes a matching outfit for basketball practice (for Drop tournament, which is basketball without rules, where the loser must give up their Honey). So when his family cuts the funding, he decides to go to a part time job with her, to get her double the money so she can continue to be in school.
Renge always says he trusts her, even when she lies to him a couple of times over things she's embarrassed over (like the part-time job). Even when she 'betrays' him, he still listens and helps and always reminds her that he NEVER wants another Honey. He would always listen to her side of the story, and likewise she would only listen to her Master, because she won't believe anything that doesn't come from him. Which is another reason why she doesn't leave, because if she doesn't hear explicitly from him that he no longer wants her to be his Honey, she will continue to be his no matter what, even if Renge's banking accountant Toi tells her otherwise or Renge's arranged fiancé Kayaka. Kayaka does not like Yuzuru to become Honey of Kai, thus she works together with Yurioka to get rid of her from his side. Thus, the story begins here……..

Kayaka does not like Yuzuru to become Honey of Kai, thus she works together with Yurioka to get rid of her from his side. Thus, the story begins here……..
Characters Description:
Yuzuru Hagino (萩乃 柚留 Hagino Yuzuru)
An ordinary student in Hojo High School. Since she carelessly offended Kai during her summer job, she becomes Kai's Honey during this semester. At first Yuzuru doesn't like Kai because he always finds ways to sexually harass Yuzuru (which makes her feel empty since she feels nothing but a play-thing), but later she finds out Kai harasses her because he likes her, and she realizes that she doesn't mind it as much as she did before. Yuzuru's parents are very greedy and rapacious; they are very poor as well. Yuzuru performs badly in both her studies and sports, and constantly refers to herself as "such a measly Honey" or "a Honey like me" (because she's afraid of displeasing him, and not being the best she can be for him). She needs to be reassured occasionally that she's not at fault and that even though she doesn't do things the way other Honeys do, Kai still loves her and wants HER, not any other Honey. She detests Kai at first but finally falls in love with him later on.
Kai Renge (煉夏 可威 Renge Kai)
A student in Houjou High School. He is Yuzuru's master and was born into a very rich family—"The Renge Family" (Lotus Clan). At first, Kai thinks Yuzuru is only a toy for him to play tricks with (and sexually harass), however soon he falls in love with her. Kai does well at all sports (especially tennis and basketball). He also is despicably honest, even though the rest at his high school isn't, when it comes to the Drops Tournament (though, he does let himself go a bit that way, because he cannot risk to lose Yuzuru). He doesn't want Yuzuru to cheat, because it's the only chance he has to have fun and play ball with his classmates (since the Kugeka have really no club activities, and they never play basketball in PE). His academic results are also superb. Kai is over-protective of Yuzuru, but loves her dearly.
Nayuta Sakuragi (桜樹 那由太 Sakuragi Nayuta)
A student in Houjou High School, and Kai's best friend since his youth. Sakuragi is Kuki's Master. He is well-adept at sports. Nayuta always calls Yuzuru as "Yuzu-yuzu". He's very playful and loves games. He shows extreme loyalty to his friends, especially the ones he's known for a very long time, and takes any affront to them as an affront to himself.
 |
| Nayuta (R) & Genjo (L) |
Genjo Kuki (久喜 絃青 Kuki Genjō)
Sakuragi's honey; an intelligent man. Kuki is a very competent Honey and at time to time, gives Yuzuru helpful advice. Kuki is amazingly loyal to Sakuragi and vows that he will do anything for his master. He has been Nayuta Sakuragi's honey since he was in kindergarten, was responsible for getting him to take a nap and not have Nayuta worry about his parents. In that part, that's when Nayuta finally calms down because he played with Genjou's hair. So he would tug it a couple times, and it made Genjou really happy to be of service, and to be able to comfort Nayuta in such a simple way, with his hair. He never cuts his long hair as he does not want to cut away the hair that his master (Nayuta) has once touched. And so thus, he is bad at tying his hair, so usually Nayuta ends up tying his hair for him. Whenever Nayuta ties his hair, it's because it's the one thing he can do to help his honey, because it's the one thing Genjou's bad at. He also has a hair band that Nayuta gave to him a long time ago, and protects it.
Chihaya Yurioka (百合丘 千駿 Yurioka Chihaya)
A student in Hojo High School, who always seems to be dressed in a kimono and with a fan in hand. Chihaya lives in a traditional Japanese home. He seems to be unsupporting of Kai and kind to his Honey but in truth, he is actually very respectful of Kai and hates his Honey, especially the ones who he thinks are awkward or stupid. Throughout the series, he causes a lot of trouble between Yuzuru and Kai.
Well, I like this manga series very much due to the art is very beautiful and the story is nice too as it is very interesting and sometimes very funny. FYI, this manga series has some adult contains. :P
I want to mention that I like the guy, Kai Renge very much is this story as he is such a cool and sexy guy. Since the creator of the story is Kanan Minami, he looks a bit similar to Kyota in the manga series of “Kyō, Koi wa Hajimemasu”. Since Kyota is my most favourite manga king, no doubt that I fall for Kai Renge in such manga series too. He is too awesome and makes me wish to have a guy like him!!! :P
Anyway, let us take a peek of some previews of the “Honey x Honey Drops” of the OVA and manga series here.
I wish there is an anime series for “Honey x Honey Drops” instead of OVA. As I think with the anime series, it will be more interesting to watch.
