One day, while making a delivery, she stumbles upon a boy about to jump off a building from being severely bullied at Shinwa High. She rescues the boy and gets a full scholarship to attend Shinwa High. A group of 4 rich, handsome boys called F4 rule the school and are idolized by all the girls. Ignoring F4's power over the school, Jan Di stands up to the leader, Gu Jun Pyo, numerous times. She starts getting bullied by getting a "Red Card" from F4 which makes everyone else in the school automatically bully you. Yun Ji Hoo often helps her and rescues her when she is in danger, which made her fall in love with him. Gu Jun Pyo later falls in love with Jan Di and expresses his love to her. As the series goes on, she realizes she has two different people in her life; her soulmate and her husband.
Lee Min Ho: Gu Jun Pyo is the hot-headed leader of F4.He is the heir of Shinhwa Group, and after his father [supposedly] passes away, he inherits and begins to run the Shinhwa Group along with his mother. When he was eight,he was kidnapped by his own driver. The car crashed and plunged into a lake, and from then on Jun Pyo had been afraid of swimming. Exasperated by Jan Di's act of defiance, he makes her a target of bullying.But as time passes, he begins to admire Jan di's determination and falls in love with her.
Kim Hyun Joong: Yun Ji Hoo is a calm and soft-spoken boy who likes to play the violin, piano and guitar and conduct an orchestra. Seo Hyeon was Ji Hoo's first love, after she helped him overcome trauma after the death of his parents when he was little. He attempts to fight for Seo Hyeon's love by following her to France. But then he realizes his love for Seo Hyeon was just worshipping her.When he comes back, he realized that he had fallen for Jan Di. However, Jun Pyo has already announced his love of Jan Di. Ji Hoo decides not to betray his friend by trying to fight for Jan Di. He is a grandson of Korea's former president.
Kim Bum: So Yi Jeong is F4's perennial playboy. Handsome and gifted with a brilliant smile. Yi Jeong also has a habit for making every girl fall for him. Even Geum Jan Di's friend, Chu Ga Eul could not escape his charming ways. He is from a family of well-known artists,and is a reputed potter himself. His family owns an art gallery that exhibits national treasures. He is known for his "5 second kill" which is a technique that leads girls to fall in love with him and kiss him in 5 seconds. According to Ji Hoo, "F4's Casanova".
Kim Joon: Song Woo Bin, from their origin in the underground, his family now runs a prominent construction business. The family owns real estate throughout the country. He is also the very good friend of Yi Jung and a kind hearted person even though he is known as a playboy himself. Aside from his handsomeness, Woo Bin can talk American hip hop very well which, and adds a plus in his charms to the ladies. Sometimes, he is seen betting with Yi Jeong for cellphone numbers of various girls. Ji Hoo calls him "F4's Don Juan".
Kim So Eun: Chu Ga Eul, is Geum Jan Di's best friend since kindergarten, with Jan Di, often saving her from bullies. Yi Jeong often describes her as "nice and idiotic". She is also Jan Di's co-worker, as they both work at the Porridge Shop. She eventually develops feelings for Yi Jeong and even agreed to go on "Fake Dates" with him to bring Jan Di and Jun Pyo back together.

Relationships (BOF)

2009-07-07T02:14:00.000-07:00

Gu Jun Pyo and Geum Jan Di
Gum Jan Di initially hates him and his two friends, So Yi Jung and Song Woo Bin. She is the only one who is strong enough to stand up against Jun Pyo after he attempts to humiliate Min Ji, Jan Di's only friend at the school. Jun Pyo then puts a red card in Jan Di's locker which indicated that she was a victim of the F4. After continuous bullying, his feelings for Jan Di begin to develop. However, Jan Di dislikes him for what he had done to her and she already has taken a liking in Ji Hoo. Jun Pyo persists in showing Jan Di his affections and after the event of going on a date with her, she realizes her feelings towards him. As their relationship becomes official, Jun Pyo's mother became an obstacle. She does everything possible to prevent Jun Pyo from being with Jan Di, as she believes that her son, Goo Jun Pyo shouldn't be dating a commoner (referring to Jan Di).

Ji Hoo and Geum Jan Di
In the beginning, Jan Di develops a crush on Ji Hoo. The first time Ji Hoo helps her was when she was being bullied and he was the only one to do so. Jan Di persuades Ji Hoo to go to France to follow Seo Hyun, his love interest, despite her regretting to do so. When Ji Hoo returns from France he discovers that he has feelings for Jan Di. Ji Hoo attempts to confess numerous times, one of which Jan Di falls asleep within, the second time she does not hear him and lastly he gives his mother's ring to her. Yet, Jan Di refuses because no matter how hard she tries she cannot forget Jun Pyo. Upon realizing that he cannot have Jan Di, he stays by her side to protect her whenever she needs his help.

Yi Jeong and Ga Eul
Ga Eul is Jan Di's best friend since kindergarten. Ga Eul initially thinks of Yi Jung as a guy with "handsome face" who only plays with girls. Later she starts developing romantic feelings for Yi Jung after he helps her get over her boyfriend who just played with her. She realizes that inside Yi Jung is a pure and lovely person. In order to get Jan Di and Jun Pyo together, Yi Jeong takes Ga Eul on a fake date. On Valentine's Day, she even makes a present for him to express her gratitude. At first, it's obvious that Yi Jung only thinks of her as a good friend when he says he doesn't like girls that are "nice, idiotic, or involved with his friend". Yet, since Ga Eul helps him through his self-destruction, Yi Jung finds out that Ga Eul, not Eun Jae (his prior love-interest) has always been by his side. He eventually shows some feelings towards her, especially when he promises to visit her first when he returns from Sweden .

Boys over Flowers Synopsis

2009-07-07T01:54:00.000-07:00

Boys Over Flowers (꽃보다 男子 or 꽃보다 남자) is a Korean drama adaptation of the Japanese manga Hana Yori Dango. It was premiered last January 5, 2009 on KBS2TV and gracefully ended last March 31, 2009 with 25 episodes.

This is the third television drama adaptation of the popular Japanese manga Hana Yori Dango after the success of Taiwanese version and Japanese version.

While delivering a student’s dry cleaning, Geum Jan Di saves the life of a student at the most prestigious school in Korea. Her actions soon become public and exposes the bullying within the school. To silence the public’s attention, Jan Di is offered a swimming scholarship to Shinhwa which she declines but her family forces her to attend.

During her first day at Shinhwa, Jan Di learns of the famous F4 and of the other students' adoration and fixation with the boys in the group. Gu Jun Pyo, Yoon Ji Hoo, So Yi Jung, and Song Woo Bin are the richest and most powerful kids within Shinhwa and Korea. Subsequently, they use their power to terrorize weaker students or those they do not like. Jan Di, instead of being impressed, becomes enraged and fantasizes about confronting Gu Jun Pyo, the leader and initiator of many of the bullying acts. She gains courage to confront him when a friend accidentally spills ice cream on his shoes and he demands the girl lick it off. Jan Di defends her friend and attempts to reason with Jun Pyo’s tyrannical demand. When he refuses to relent, Jan Di turns violent, knocking Jun Pyo to the ground. Engaged by this, Gu Jun Pyo declares war on Jan Di and encourages the other students to bully her. Jan Di, however, is resistant, refusing to apologize to Gu Jun Pyo, and stands by her decision to fight him.

Ironically, Gu Jun Pyo, having never been stood up to, begins to develop feelings for her. He tries unsuccessfully to woo her as she slowly begins to spend more time with Jun Pyo and his friends. Jan Di teaches Jun Pyo that money cannot buy everything and in order to have real friends, he himself must be real or use his heart, but Gu Jun Pyo still does not understand why someone like Jan Di should dislike him. As the story progresses, Jun Pyo falls deeper in love with Jan Di and she learns how to open herself to his love as well.

As love begins to blossom, Jun Pyo’s mother discovers them and deems it unsuitable. She does everything in her power to keep the two apart, even arranging a marriage for Jun Pyo. Other factors keep arising as another member of the group falls in love with Jan Di and in a twist of fate, Jun Pyo loses his memory. In the end, however, Gu Jun Pyo and Jan Di learn that love conquers all and that they are truly soul mates.

I am now using my name as emily ng qi li.
Well, i want to voice out my feelings.
There's a classmate of mine who's name is S. I am keeping her name as a secret as i do not want to be called as cyberbully.
One day before Children's day,i was about to go home, but s, she stopped me and asked if i would like to help her decorate the class.
I was foolish enough to believe her.
She said our teacher allowed us to, but who knows?
Me, j, HT, and B, and S, to buy decorations.
We spent over 10.00 dollars.
Then S, and J wanted to go home and put their bags.
I, Ht and B went to class and decorate. Suddenly, S appeared.She said her mum is at school now. It was 4.oopm then. I was on my way to class u know??? And s' mum went and scold s. It was so embarrassing!!! S lied to us that she dont have tuition...In the end??? We went to class and decorated the class beautifully. What happens next?? We were unsure whether teacher let us to, so i asked Mdm Hia whether s got asked her can decorate the class. She said no and cannot. So you know next, We were angry and furious!!! we spent 1 hr doing it and wasted time and $$ on the decorations!!! The class was so beautiful and we have to tear it off with our own hands!!! U know the feeling??? Sigh... I do not know what to do anymore....So pressured you know???

DeTecTivE ConAn

2008-05-12T00:44:00.001-07:00

The story starts by introducing 17-year old (initially 16 years in the manga) high school student Jimmy Kudo (Shin'ichi Kudo) who is a genius savant, and his childhood friend and crush, (Ran Mori) Jimmy treats Rachel to a trip to a theme park named "Tropical Land" and encounters a murder.[1] After easily solving the case and showing off his detective skills, he notices two mysterious men wearing black. Telling Rachel to go on home, he tracked the men to a meeting place and witnesses an illegal deal. However, one of the men in black (known only as Gin) notices him and knocks him out. Instead of directly killing him, the two men in black give him an untested experimental poison named Apotoxin-4869 (APTX4869), which was supposed to not only kill Jimmy, but also leave no trace of poison in Jimmy's body. However, Jimmy wakes to find that he is still alive, but has now been shrunk, and his age reverted back to that of about his six year old self.

Following the advice of Dr. Herschel Agasa (Dr. Hiroshi Agasa), Jimmy hides his real identity, lest the men in black find out that he is alive. When Rachel asks for his name, Jimmy spots books by Arthur Conan Doyle and Edogawa Rampo and comes up with the name "Conan Edogawa". Agasa says that "Conan" is a relative of his, but that he is too busy to take care of a young child, and suggests that Conan go to live with Rachel, and both Conan and Rachel agree.[3] Conan feels that by living with a detective, he may be able to amass clues that would lead him to the people who poisoned him.

However, Rachel's father, Richard Moore (Kogoro Mori) is an inept detective and Conan always solves mysteries in his stead, while he gets the credit. As Conan appears to be just a boy, police do not pay any attention to him. Conan instead uses Detective Moore by putting him to sleep with an "anesthesia gun-watch"[4] and pretending to be Moore by using a voice changer disguised as a bow tie.[5] These gadgets and more are made by Dr. Agasa.
To maintain his cover, Conan goes to Titan elementary school (Japanese: Teitan Elementary School (帝丹小学校, Teitan Shōgakkō?)) and has made friends with three children at the school, George Kaminski (Genta Kojima), Mitch Tennison (Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya) and Amy Yeager (Ayumi Yoshida) who form the self-styled "Junior Detective League" (少年探偵団, Shōnen Tantei-dan?) (Detective Boys in the Japanese anime and manga). Although Conan feels profoundly self conscious playing with them given his true age, the foursome have numerous adventures of their own and the trio have proved capable assistants to the detective for their age.

Jimmy was able to find out that Gin was working for a huge international crime syndicate, known as the Black Organization. In addition to Gin, other major members and operatives of the Black Organization that appear later in the story include his partner Vodka, Vermouth, Kir, Chianti, Korn, and a mysterious "boss" who has only been mentioned so far. Jimmy also meets the inventor of the APTX4869 and former member of the organization Shiho Miyano (codename "Sherry" within the black organization), who was also turned into a child after she took her own drug in order to escape the organization. She later lives with Dr. Agasa under her new alias, Ai Haibara.[6]

Later on in the series, Jimmy meets with his parents, Booker (Yusaku) and Vivian (Yukiko) Kudo along with Harley Hartwell (Heiji Hattori), a rival detective from Osaka who later becomes his good friend, [7] and Harley's childhood friend Kazuha Toyama. Another recurring character is the gentleman thief known as the Phantom Thief Kid (Kaito Kid)[8] , who also appears in Aoyama's other manga, Magic Kaito. Aside from the Black Organization members, he is the only person that Conan seems unable to catch, and neither realize that they are both after the same bad guys for different reasons.

D.Gray-man

2008-04-12T22:43:00.000-07:00

The story of D.Gray-man takes place on a fictional Earth at the end of the 19th century. The plot mostly centers around Allen Walker, a young boy who is a member of The Black Order; a secretive organization whose members are known as Exorcists. The Order's primary mission is to stop The Millennium Earl, an ancient being who intends to 'cleanse' the world by destroying all life on it.
Exorcists are specially chosen humans who are gifted with the ability to control and use Innocence, a divine substance created in ages past to combat the Earl and his minions. According to the Order's history, 108 fragments of Innocence were scattered around the world at the end of The Great Flood. Once an Innocence fragment is found to be compatible to a particular user, it can become a weapon or tool for the user to wield in battle.
In the story, Allen is introduced to more Exorcists, including Yu Kanda, Lenalee Lee, Lavi, Miranda Lotto, and Arystar Krory. Assisting Allen and the Exorcists is a team of scientists and handlers led by Komui Lee, a Supervisor of the Black Order and Lenalee's older brother. Allen's master and mentor is the enigmatic Cross Marian, one of the five Exorcist Generals of the Black Order, who at the beginning of the story has mysteriously disappeared. In the course of completing their missions, Allen and his fellow Exorcists are introduced to the other Generals: Kevin Yeegar, Froi Tiedoll (Or Froi Theodore depending on translation), Cloud Nine, and Winters Sokaro.
The Millennium Earl is aided in his plans by The Noah Clan, humans who are direct descendants of Noah himself. Each member of this clan is gifted with great power and each represents a different 'aspect' of Noah. They are identified by their gray skin and line of cross-shaped markings on their foreheads. As the story progresses, the members of the clan are revealed: Road Kamelot (The Dreams of Noah), Tyki Mikk (The Pleasures of Noah), Jasdero and Debitto - Jasdebi (The Bonds of Noah), Skin Boric (The Wrath of Noah), and Lulubell (The Lust of Noah).
The Earl commands an army of demonic creatures called Akuma to do his bidding. Akuma are created by taking advantage of someone's grief over the death of a loved one. The Earl tricks individuals into bringing their loved one back to life through a skeletal 'doll,' only to have that doll kill them and turn them into an Akuma with the soul of the dead loved one trapped inside. Akuma are able to evolve and with each new level gained, they grow more intelligent, powerful, and sadistic. Since Akuma can impersonate humans to blend in with people, exorcists are routinely assigned to track down and eliminate them. Allen is the only exorcist able to actually see past the Akuma's disguise. This is due to his 'cursed' left eye which grants him both the ability to 'sense' when an Akuma is nearby as well as see the imprisoned soul within the Akuma's body.

Vampire Knight

2008-03-25T04:20:00.000-07:00

Yuki's earliest memory is of a stormy night in winter, when she was attacked by a vampire, she was saved by another vampire, Kaname Kuran. 10 years later, Yuki Cross, the adopted daughter of the headmaster of Cross Academy, has grown up and become a guardian for the school, Cross Academy, with 2 purposes. That is to protect the Day class (humans) from the Night class (vampires)'s fang and protect the true identity of the Night class students from being discovered by the Day class students. Kaname Kuran, Yuki's saviour, leads the group of night class, with the help of Takuma Ichijo. But also at her side is Zero Kiryu, a childhood friend whose hatred for the vampires that destroyed everything he held dear, is now determined to kill them all and never trust them. This coexisting arrangement seems all well and good, but the question remains, have the vampires truly renounced their murderous ways, or is there a darker truth behind their actions? Is Kaname's infatuation with Yuki the beginning of a forbidden romance, or is it something in her forgotten past that draws him to her? Because in this world of secrets, nothing is as it seems. And the price of misplaced trust may even be worse than death.

] Setting
The vampires in Vampire Knight have the characteristics of a separate species, which contrasts with most vampire stories which portray vampires as transformed humans. In Vampire Knight, vampires can procreate sexually among themselves and with humans, and they age, albeit at a much slower rate than humans. Vampires are nocturnal and they dislike sunlight, but exposure to it does not harm them. They are likewise immune to most of the traditional vampire weaknesses such as crosses, garlic, and holy water. They can also regenerate quickly and easily when wounded, therefore, making them very hard to kill unless a weapon made especially for vampire hunting is used.

Vampire levels in Vampire knight
Vampires have interbred with humans extensively, and they organize their society based in the purity of their blood. Level A is the Purebloods - a very small but very powerful minority. Only a bite from a Pureblood can change a human into a vampire. Pure Blood siblings can marry each other to keep the blood line pure, in fact this is not rare . Level B refers to Noble vampires with advanced powers. Ordinary vampires make up Level C, by far the largest group. Level D is comprised of vampires who were once human; they are a small group, as turning humans into vampires is forbidden and only a handful of Level A vampires would dare to. The final designation, Level E, is separate from the others because it is reserved for former human vampires who have become violently insane . Falling to Level E is considered the inevitable fate of all former human vampires, who can never completely accept their vampiric instincts and their need for blood. Level D or E vampires are left in the care of Level B vampires so they can keep them in check.
Vampires have warred with human vampire hunters for centuries, though the existence of vampires, and the war itself, are kept secret from most humans. All though it may seem that the hunters may be on the side of the vampires

[ Characters
Day Class
Yuki Cross (黒主優姫, Kurosu Yūki?) later revealed to be Yuki Kuran (玖蘭優姫, Kuran Yūki?)
Yuki Kuran, is the adoptive daughter of the headmaster of Cross Academy, and is a member of the school's disciplinary committee, which is a Guardian for Cross Academy. Ten years prior to the events of Vampire Knight, the Kuran family was attacked by Rido Kuran, so Yuki's mother Juuri, wanting Yuki to live as a normal human, sealed Yuki's memories, powers and pure vampire blood with the cost of her own life, and Headmaster Cross took her in. She has lost all memory of her life before the attack, but since Kaname rescued her when she was attacked by a vampire, she has been harboring deep feelings for him. She loves Kaname since she was small till now. Yuki is usually a cheerful and carefree girl. She has also let Zero Kiryu, a childhood friend, drink her blood, hoping to save him from insanity. She cares deeply about Zero, and has strongs feelings for him. She thinks Zero as her little brother. It was revealed in chapter 35 that she is the daughter of the Kuran family, which is primarily pure blood-vampires. She and Kaname are engaged; it is normal for pureblood siblings to marry. She does have vampire powers as well, this was witnessed in chapter 36 when she was getting over the shock of her parents deaths to save her she accidentaly made large cracks in the wall
Her weapon is the "Artemis Rod," an extendable staff she received from Headmaster Cross.
Zero Kiryu (錐生零, Kiryū Zero?)
Yuki's childhood friend. Zero is also a Cross Academy Guardian and likewise on the disciplinary committee. Yuki has cared about him as a close friend ever since he was brought into their home (the Headmaster's). His family, one of vampire hunters, was murdered by the pure blood vampire Shizuka Hio when he was young. He harbors a deep hatred for vampires and claims to have taken on the role of Guardian to learn to hunt them better. In truth, Zero was bitten during the attack on his family and therefore turned into a vampire, something that has been kept secret even from Yuki until his vampiric urges began to surface and became uncontrollable. As Zero's body rejects the blood tablets that most vampires take to control their hunger, Yuki began letting him drink her own blood, which helps his thirst for blood, but he is ultimately to become a Level E vampire. In chapter 35, he discovers Yuki is a vampire, and in chapter 37 he aims his gun at her, which leads to Yuki telling him her vampire side "ate" her other side.
Zero's weapon is the gun "Bloody Rose," given to him by Chairman Cross. He made Yuki promise that if he becomes a Level E vampire, she will kill him with the "Bloody Rose".
Sayori Wakaba (若葉沙頼, Wakaba Sayori?)
Yuki's dorm-mate and best friend since junior high, Yuki often refers to her as Yori-Chan. One of the few girls who is not interested in the night class. She finds them a bit scary and would prefer someone from the day class. Yori is also very observant.
Ichiru Kiryu (錐生壱縷, Kiryū Ichiru?)
Zero's younger twin brother. When they were younger, they were both taught by Toga Yagari to become a vampire hunter. Ichiru however did not seem to share Zero's natural ability and was often ill. Zero and Ichiru were very close as children, although later Ichiru claims to have hated Zero after overhearing that his parents preferred Zero over himself.
Shizuka let Ichiru drink her blood to strengthen him and cure his chronic ill health, although she did not turn him into a vampire and he remains a human. He now attends Cross Academy as a Day Class student by the orders of Shiki's father, Rido Kuran. It appears Rido has promised Ichiru that he will kill those whom killed Shizuka Hio, which is probably the main reason Ichiru is working for Rido Kuran.
Ichiru has also warned Zero to stay away from Yuki and stating "Your taste has gone bad".

] Night Class
Kaname Kuran (玖蘭枢, Kuran Kaname?)
A pure blood vampire. He saved Yuki from an attack by another vampire when she was 5 years old. Kaname is the class president of the Night Class, both feared and respected by the other Night Class students.
While he is cold and authoritative towards his contemporaries in the Night Class, he is always kind and sweet to Yuki. He has shown that he cares deeply for Yuki ever since he saved her, and loves her in a romantic sense (He allows Zero to live because he knows his death would sadden Yuki). Kaname also asked Yuki to become a vampire and live with him for all eternity by his side, but manages to stop himself from biting her. He is both jealous and angry with Zero for biting Yuki and endangering her life.
He also seems to know the pure blood who bit Zero, Shizuka Hio, and later kills her before drinking her blood to protect Yuki, in spite of it being a terrible taboo. He was raised as Yuki's brother by Yuki's parents and he and Yuki were engaged. Kaname was the ancestor of Kuran and was resurrected by Rido (the master) from the grave, thus making him unable to kill Rido.
Takuma Ichijou (一条拓麻, Ichijōu Takuma?)
The vice-president of the Night Class, he is a noble-class vampire nearly as powerful as Kaname, whom he is close to and respects. He seems kind and lacks the dark atmosphere that surrounds most vampires, making him appear more like a human. His favorite reading material is manga; in one chapter, it seems he forced Aido into reading a vampire manga series.
Takuma appears to be aware of Kaname and Yuki's relationship, and has asked Yuki why her current relationship with Kaname no longer is the same as the one they had when she was a child. Takuma's grandfather, who is a member of the council and very powerful, educated him and has high expectations of him. The reason Takuma's grandfather allowed him to come to Cross Academy was to spy on Kaname. However, Takuma does not want to hurt Kaname because they are good friends.
Takuma is ordered to bring Senri Shiki (possessed by Rido Kuran) back to the academy where Rido will look for 'that child' (referring to Yuki). Though Takuma does not want to hurt Kaname by bringing Rido to the academy, he cannot refuse because he has been commanded by his grandfather to do so. He saves Rima Tohya from being killed by Rido when she confronts him to try and free Shiki and stops the fight between Rido and Kaname so that Shiki, whose body was being used by Rido, would not be hurt.
Hanabusa Aido (藍堂英, Aidō Hanabusa?)
Nicknamed "Idol" by the Day Class girls. Along with his cousin Akatsuki Kain, Hanabusa Aido is known among the Night Class as "Kaname-sama's right hand," and he has a fierce admiration for Kaname. Aido is a noble-class vampire and possesses the ability to control ice. Though he appears cheerful and friendly one moment, he can quickly become vindictive and cruel the next. Though loyal to Kaname, he has a tendency to overstep his boundaries, which results in Kaname punishing him if discovered. He has also been aware that Zero is a vampire, though he did not reveal it to anyone else because he felt it would not benefit himself in anyway and that he was not the sort of person who revealed such secrets. While Yuki is dealing with the girls(one with a bleeding) who violate the curfew (no day class must go out at night) he and Kain suddenly appears and Yuki became alert. Yuki afraid of what they might do to those girls threaten them but Aido tells her that they came especially to see her. It is because when Yuki swung down the tree she was wounded and that time he bite the hands of Yuki revealing that he is a vampire. Luckily, the two girls collapse and will be taken to the chairman to modify their memories.
Aido is not overtly fond of Yuki and dislikes the attention that Kaname gives her, but tolerates her presence because Kaname loves her. He has difficulty showing her respect, often calling her "Yuki Cross" or just "Hey, you", but becomes willing to protect her for Kaname's sake when Kaname announces that she is to be his lover. Aido eventually develops an understanding of Yuki when she claims that she will remain loyal to Kaname, regardless of what he says or does. When Yuki is revealed to be a pureblood vampire of the Kuran line, Aido has difficulty adjusting himself in referring to her in a formal manner and frequently corrects himself.
While Aido is the only one to witness Kaname kill Shizuka Hio, he remains loyal to Kaname and willing to lend Kaname his power in order to help find the killers of Kaname's parents. Though Kaname declines Aido's help in order to prevent Aido from putting himself in danger, Aido continues to investigate behind Kaname's back in order to discover possible enemies of the Kuran family and secrets that Kaname has hidden.
Akatsuki Kain (架院暁, Kain Akatsuki?)
Aido's cousin and another one of "Kaname-sama's right hand". His carefree attitude gets both him and Aido in trouble at times. His nickname is "Wild," despite the fact he is actually mellower than Aido. He tends to get blamed for the actions of other vampires, especially Aido, despite not being involved and ends up getting punished as a result. In a bonus story at the end of Volume 2 ("I Must've Been Born Under the "Victim of Circumstances" Star...") he also refers to Kaname as their "gang leader". He is incredibly perceptive and is frequently sensitive to others' feelings, most particularly with Aido and Ruka's. He first suspected Zero of killing Shizuka, but almost instantly realized that was not what had happened. Kain seems to have feelings for Ruka.
Ruka Souen (早園瑠佳, Sōen Ruka?)
A beautiful female vampire popular with the Day Class students and one of those who are the most faithful and protective of Kaname. She seems to dislike Yuki because Kaname loves her. It was expressed in a flashback that even before she met Kaname, she had always had feelings for him to the extent of wanting to give him her blood. Although Ruka has strong feelings for Kaname, he does not reciprocate them. He only drank her blood one time to protect Yuki from his urge to bite her, and has since politely refused to drink it. She becomes upset with the fact that Kaname choose Yuki to be his lover, but finally accepts Yuki when she discovers Yuki is Kaname's pureblood sister. She even gave Aido shoes to give to Yuki to wear.
Senri Shiki (支葵千里, Shiki Senri?)
One of the youngest Night Class members. He works as a model with Rima Tohya. When the Night Class is given orders to hunt down a level E vampire, Shiki is usually the one we see out hunting the level E vampires. He has a whip-like weapon which develops from his blood. His father is Rido Kuran (Kaname's uncle), thus making Shiki Kaname and Yuki's cousin, and his mother's uncle is part of the council. His mother was also a former actress, making the Shiki family well known. Shiki's body is currently being possessed by his father's soul, who is supposed to be dead. Though possessed by Rido, Rido claims that having Shiki regain conscious is easier then he let on. During his fight with Rima, whom tries to convince Shiki to fight against Rido and to "Stop being an idiot", Shiki is seen trying to regain control, while Rido is telling him otherwise.
Rima Tohya (遠矢莉磨, Tōya Rima?)
One of the youngest night class students. She works as a model alongside Senri Shiki. Her exact relationship with Shiki is unknown, though they are almost always seen together, signifying a close relationship. She also cares deeply for Shiki and possesses a personality quite similar to his.
After suspecting Shiki has changed upon his return to school, she confronts Rido (who is in Shiki's body) and tells him to leave Shiki's body since she thinks that he is not Shiki. During her fight with Rido, it is revealed that she has an unspecified special ability. She is wounded by Rido, but is saved by Ichijo, who steps in on the fight to save her. She tries to convince Shiki to snap out of his state and calls him an idiot for letting Rido control him. Badly wounded, she is sent back home by Ichijo.
Seiren (星煉, Seiren?)
A student of the Night Class, she is Kaname's unofficial bodyguard. She is usually the first to defend Kaname from anyone she regards as a threat (this can be seen when Zero pointed the Bloody Rose at Kaname for saying that Zero sympathized with a level E vampire). It seems she also acts as a spy for Kaname.

Others
Headmaster Kaien Cross (, Kurosu Kaien Rijichō )?)
Yuki's adoptive father, who also took Zero into his home for several years. Headmaster Cross dreams of peace between humans and vampires, and established the Night Class to promote understanding between the two races. Cross is shown to have a habit of provoking Zero and is eccentric in some ways, but he has a serious side as well. It is revealed that he is a former vampire hunter. He also seems to be close to Kaname, and seems to know Kaname's parents (whom are dead and founded the peace treaty) since he is indebted to them. He has always known that Yuki was a pureblood vampire.
Toga Yagari (, Yagari Tōga)?)
The current top ranked vampire hunter, Toga Yagari, formerly trained Zero to be a vampire hunter. He had lost his right eye due to trying to save Zero long ago. He showed up once at Cross Academy serving for a short while as a Night Class teacher, and to decide whether Zero is considered dangerous or not. He appears briefly in volume five, when he appears shocked about the council's decision to punish Zero. He also appears in the near end of chapter 36.
Shizuka Hio (, Hiō Shizuka)?)
The pure blood vampire who bit Zero; even her fellow vampires are uneasy around her. She is called "Mad Blooming Princess" by her fellow vampires. A manservant whom she loved (a former human vampire, said to have never fallen to Level E) was killed by a Kiryu vampire hunter. Enraged and out for revenge, she attacked the Kiryu family, killed Zero and Ichiru's parents, turned Zero into a vampire, and took Zero's twin, Ichiru, in as a devoted servant. Shizuka's blood can prevent Zero from falling to Level E, and thus Yuki risked her life for Zero to be able to drink Shizuka's blood. However, to protect Yuki, Kaname kills Shizuka and drinks her blood, leaving only a small amount for Zero to drink. Unfortunately the blood was drunk by Ichiru who arrived at the scene first. Before dying, Shizuka warns Kaname that he will live in darkness and has summoned a sinister future for himself. She was Rido Kuran's fiancée, but they never got married due to their deaths.
Maria Kurenai (, Kurenai Maria)
A very distant relative of Shizuka Hio. Her mind was taken over by Shizuka in return so her body could be a little stronger, since she was often sickly. Maria has returned to her family after the Shizuka incident, but has asked Yuki that if she sees Ichiru, tell him Maria wants to see him again.
Asato Ichijo (, Ichijō Asatō)
Asato is Takuma's grandfather and a member of the Vampire Council. He wanted to become Kaname's guardian after the death of Kaname's parents, but Kaname did not accept. He has allowed Takuma to attend Cross Academy for the purpose of spying on Kaname. His age and demeanor brings fear to many vampires, though Aido and Ruka openly confront him when Asato implies his desire to drink Kaname's blood. Many people call him Ichiō-sama (First Elder).
Sara Shirabuki (, Sara Shirabuki)
A beautiful pureblood vampire of the Shirabuki family. She appears at a party held by the Aido family stating that "We purebloods have to stick together" to Kaname.
Rido Kuran (, Rido Kuran ?)
A pure blood vampire, Senri Shiki's father, and Haruka Kuran's elder brother. He is supposed to be dead and his true body appears that way; however, he is still able to transfer his soul to other bodies and take control. His eyes are two different colors (crimson and blue), and when his soul is transferred to a different body, that body has eyes of two different colors. Rido's soul currently is in control of his son's body.
According to Asato Ichijo, he is the true head of the Kuran family. He currently is secretly reviving himself and gaining power, which only the council members know. Ten years ago, he was killed by Kaname when Rido attempted to kill Yuki as a sacrifice for undisclosed purposes. Rido is also aware that his fiancée, Shizuka Hio, was killed by Kaname.
Juri Kuran (, Juri Kuran
Yuki's mother and a pure blood vampire who resembles an older version of Yuki. Juri was the wife of Haruka Kuran. Ten years ago when Rido Kuran appeared, she was the one who erased Yuki's memories because she wanted her to live a normal human life at the cost of her own life. Headmaster Kaien Cross stated that he is in debt to her. Her last will was for Kaname to look after Yuki. It is also revealed that she is the sister of Haruka Kuran and that it is not uncommon for pureblood vampires to marry their siblings.
Haruka Kuran (, Haruka Kuran?)
Yuki's father and a pure blood vampire. Haruka was killed by his older brother, Rido Kuran, in his attempt to stop Rido from killing Yuki ten years ago. He revealed that the Vampire Council are trying to use pure blooded vampires for the value of their existence and the power of their blood. It is revealed he is siblings with Juri Kuran, yet loves her as a woman despite of that.

Magister Negi Magi

2008-03-25T04:14:00.000-07:00

Negi Springfield is a ten year old wizard (NB he starts out at 9 and is 10 years old as the story goes on) from Wales, a principality of the United Kingdom, who dreams of becoming a Magister Magi (Approximate Latin translation: "Master Mage"), a special wizard who uses his powers to help normal people using covers such as working for NGOs.
Negi's reason for becoming a Magister Magi is to find his father, Nagi Springfield, the legendary mage also known as the "Thousand Master" who many believe to be dead (though the name Thousand Master was cast into doubt in book 3 (Anime Episode 9) when Evangeline flashes back and he states he only mastered a few spells). Later, it is exposed that while his power or ability seem to be among the greatest in the magical world, he regularly uses an 'anchoko', or crib sheet, since he apparently does not bother to memorize the spells themselves.
After graduating from the Merdiana Magic Academy in Wales, Negi is given a duty as a cover in the real world, and training, before he actually becomes a Magister Magi. That duty is to become an English teacher at Mahora Academy in Japan. The task will not be easy, however, as Negi will become a teacher to a Middle School class of 31 older girls, each very special in her own way. The series details his time and adventures in Japan as he gains acceptance and respect from his students, helps them in their problems, and faces magical threats from inside and outside Mahora Academy. His main relationship is with Asuna Kagurazaka, his student and roommate, who dislikes him initially but later accepts him as a friend and becomes his partner, helping find clues about his father and his life.
The series, while initially appearing to be another bishōjo work like Love Hina, has progressed into a mix of bishōjo, shōnen action, fantasy, horror, romance and comedy. Akamatsu stated that he specifically wanted to do something "different" than Love Hina. Negi himself is prepubescent, and many of his scenes with Asuna are specific subversions of the "awkward romantic scene" tendency of bishōjo manga, quickly diffused and only played for laughs. In addition, many of the girls are able to fawn over him in a childish sense without any romantic expectations from the reader. Like Love Hina, Negima also features a lot of fan service, but different from Akamatsu's early work, Negima goes farther, featuring even full frontal nude.
In keeping with this style, Negi himself is seen as a contrast to Love Hina's Keitaro and other typical male leads of bishōjo manga. He is hardworking, capable, and treated kindly, but due to his appearance and age (well below most of his students), he feels completely non-threatening and finds it difficult to be taken seriously as a teacher; many of his students treat him as a cute little kid, if not a playmate.

Summary of major events in manga
The events differ from those in the anime.
Negi starts out as a young boy who simply does what he does to chase after his father, a famous mage. His next test to be like his father, is to be teacher of 31 unique girls. Every obstacle the girls throw at him, he triumphs. Occasionally, he gains help from his students through a pactio, which gives the girl a magical artifact and can sometimes transform into magical beings. However, after suffering near losses from Fate Averruncus (a pawn of a more powerful unknown opponent) he realizes he must become stronger if he hopes to achieve his dream of meeting his father. He, though a teacher, asks his students to teach him to be stronger. With training, he triumphs against an old foe, who also was employed by a more sinister opponent. He is also able to crush his former student's, Chao's, attempt to show magic to the whole world. With this, he decides to push on and goes to the Magic World for more information about his father. There, he meets Fate once again. Despite having lots of his friends along (each with pactios or their own abilities), he is unable to score a decisive victory against Fate. He and his friends are teleported to separate areas. Negi resumes his training in hopes to find his friends.

[edit] Characters
Main article: Characters of Negima
Negima includes a wide array of characters, including the 31 students from Class 2-A. Like many classes, Negi's students consist of a wide array of smart students, academically challenged, athletes, and cheerleaders. Furthermore, the class also includes several martial artists, a ninja, a vampire, a robot, a ghost, at least one demon, a web idol, and even a time traveling martian. Nearly all the students are associated with various school clubs or sports teams. Many of these girls are eventually drawn into Negi's world of magic or have long been involved with the magic world. Through interaction, Negi learns about his students in depth. Some students also sometimes get the oppurtunity to make a provisionary contract with Negi which will make them a partner.
In addition to the class, a greater array of characters reveals to become Negi's problems beyond the classroom. These characters come from magic schools, demons, and other sorts of chaos. He and his students eventually find themselves drawn into multiple conflicts and incidents in succession or simultaneously. Ultimately, Negi's magic and training connects him to his father Nagi and his courageous comrades, whom he hopes to follow in the footsteps of someday.

Fruits Basket

2007-11-26T00:24:00.000-08:00

Fruits Basket follows the life of the student Tohru Honda, who was recently orphaned when her mother, Kyoko Honda, died in a car accident. After that, Tohru lived with her grandfather, but when remodeling is needed on the house, Tohru resorts to living in a tent and holds down a job to support herself. Despite suffering many hardships, Tohru remains optimistic.
One day, Tohru comes upon a house in the forest that she is temporarily living in which is the home of Shigure Sohma and fellow classmate Yuki Sohma, of the Sohma family. When the Sohmas discover that Tohru is living in a tent, they are quite surprised by her inner strength. The entire area is Sohma property, and Tohru pleads to live upon the property in her quaint tent (affectionately dubbed "her castle"). Feeling sorry for her, and desperate to end their days of filthy living conditions, the Sohmas offer her their spare room in exchange for cooking and housework. When her tent is buried that night in a landslide, burying her mother's picture and school clothes, she has no option but to accept. Soon after she moves in, Kyo Sohma comes to challenge Yuki.
Tohru soon discovers the Sohma family's secret, and the reason why Yuki is so private and secretive at school: thirteen members of the family are possessed by the 12 animal spirits of the Chinese Zodiac ("Jyūnishi" in Japanese) and the spirit of the cat who was left out of the Zodiac according to legend. They transform into animals when hugged by the opposite gender, when they are under a great amount of stress, or weak in any way (such as being sick). When she promises to keep their secret, the Sohmas allow Tohru to keep her memories rather than hypnotically erasing them, a fate that had previously befallen anyone not on the "Inside" of the Sohma family who had discovered the secret.
The story follows the lives of Tohru and the Sohma family, as they deal with each other and a society where neither quite fits in, as well as the feared Akito Sohma, head of the Sohma family. Soon, after living with the Sohma family she began to like, then love all of the Sohmas.

Kamichama Karin

2007-11-26T00:14:00.001-08:00

Karin's, Kazune's, and Himeka's hair grew considerably from when they first appeared to the second volume. Koge Donbo's reasons for doing this are unknown. It may be due to a time lapse. Also, the shine on Himeka's hair is on her bangs from chapters 1-3. From chapter 4 and up, her hair has the shine on the top and sides. In two of the episodes Karin and Kazune's son, Suzune, appears from the future to help them.

To Heart, a anime show

2007-11-18T01:03:00.000-08:00

The anime opens with a scene from Akari's childhood - she is in elementary school has dropped all her books as it rains. While the other kids just walk past her, Hiroyuki stands and helps her pick up her books, also offering to give her his dry books for her to use instead - one of the many reasons why Akari likes Hiroyuki.
Many years have passed, and they're both now second year high school students. It is the first day of school after summer holidays, and Akari goes to wake up Hiroyuki who is still asleep as usual.
On the way to school, Hiroyuki complains, asking Akari to finally stop using the "-chan" suffix to call him. In the meantime, they bump into Masashi, an old friend, who notices that they two are the usual.
At school, they meet up with Lemmy, who tells Hiroyuki to be more energetic after the summer break. Masashi then suggests that they all go to karaoke after school - an offer Hiroyuki refuses, preferring to go home and sleep.
Their first homeroom involves assigning seats to people - a task which falls on the shoulders of the class representative, Tomoko Hoshina. Despite being harassed by a group of students, she continues to calmly make slips for a random draw. While this is going on, Shiho (who is in class A) suddenly appears beside Hiroyuki's desk to talk about the best seats in the classroom. After a bit of heated friendly exchange, Shiho tells Hiroyuki that she has special half-price discount tickets to karaoke.
Hiroyuki immediately replies that he hasn't promised anything, before looking Akari's way, who signals asking him to go. After a brief pause, he decides to help Tomoko make the slips.
The slips are made and draws conducted. Akari is lucky enough to draw the seat right next to Hiroyuki. She remarks that it's always been her dream to do so, and that this is the first time that she has had the chance to sit beside him.
After school, Akari, Shiho, Masashi and Hiroyuki head for karaoke, where Shiho takes the spotlight.
At night before bed, Akari makes an entry into her diary on the events of the day focusing on Hiroyuki. She ends her diary with "これからもすっと一緒にいられますように": from now on, we will always be together.Note: When Shiho appears in the classroom, Hiroyuki calls her using the word てめえ (te-me), which is a very rude form of 'you'. Used in this context it maintains its rude meaning, but in a sarcastic manner.

Second Event

On the way home, Hiroyuki, Shiho, Masashi and Akari spot the poster for "Childish an Hour", a popular band which is due to perform that week. Shiho comments that the guitarist is really cool, but is rebuffed by Hiroyuki saying that women only care about looks and that she should listen to the music for a change.
Although they would all want to go and watch Childish an Hour together, it is virtually impossible for them to get tickets. Shiho exclaims that in the future she may join the entertainment business, and that in the future there won't be a problem getting a ticket. Hiroyuki retorts that her ideas are in the future, and she should make more practical ideas in the future.
At the end of another school day, Akari asks what Hiroyuki will do after school, which is to go into town before heading home to sleep. Although Akari mentions having cleaning duties, he simply wishes her good luck and leaves.
On the way out, Hiroyuki meets with Masashi who says he has tickets to Childish an Hour - courtesy of the CD shop Masashi worked part-time at. Unfortunately, he only has two tickets. Hiroyuki offers to go and talk to Akari and Shiho to see what can be done, commenting it may have to be decided through stone, paper, sissors (janken).
In another scene, Shiho quickly tells Akari she has two tickets to the concert. She also has only two tickets. When faced with the prospect of choosing two out of the four friends to go, and tells Akari to simply "leave it to her" to deal with the problem.
Hiroyuki's search for Shiho brings him around the school and glimpses into activities. while pondering where to look for Shiho next, he inadvertently spends too much time at the swimming pool where girls' are practicing for a swim tournament, earning him some suspicious looks.
He heads over to the kyūdō club, where Lemmy is practicing. He looks through the window, looking at her progress when she suddenly turns as if to shoot him. Later, she explains that she's practicing to stop perverts from hanging around the changing rooms and swimming pool. Hiroyuki later comments that she looked cool when practicing, and Lemmy invites him to come visit her at practice anytime - cheerfully advising him to take the main entrance next time.
While finishing off her duties, Akari spots Hiroyuki in the yard and runs to him. She bumps into Hoshina, who falls and drops all her books. Akari helps to pick her books up, but then loses Hiroyuki.
Hiroyuki grabs a drink, while verbally complaining that Shiho always appears when he doesn't want to see her, but never the other way round, and that she's idiotic. Shiho suddenly appears and scolds Hiroyuki, complaining that she's been looking for him.
Although they finally meet, they can't bring themselves to talk about the fact they only have two tickets. They keep talking about irrelevant topics - the closest they can do is to bring up the topic hypothetically - what would the other do if they had two tickets?
At then end, they are unable to bring up the topic. Masashi and Hiroyuki, and Akari and Shiho both head to the concert not knowing they both have enough tickets for all four of them.
Akari and Shiho go and line up for the concert, Akari unaware that Shiho has been unable to talk to the other two while Shiho feels guilty.
Hiroyuki and Masashi head to the concert late, where Hiroyuki admits to Masashi that he was unable to bring up the topic of the tickets, and would rather not go. Masashi agrees and also says that he would not go given that the other two would not be able to enjoy it.
For some reason, Akari and Shiho have not actually gone into the concert and the four meet up at the entrance, finally figuring out that there are actually four tickets - so they can all enjoy Childish an Hour.Note: The Childish an Hour tickets cost 4500 yen

In a sunny place

Whilst sweeping up outside, Hiroyuki bumps into a third year girl (sempai) Serika Kurusugawa, sole member of the school’s Occult Research Society, who is interested in black magic. Serika, a beautiful languid heiress who moves slowly and speaks in a barely audible voice, gets Hiroyuki to help her gather ingredients for a magic potion, and subsequently lends him a book on the occult and invites him to participate in one of her ceremonies. However, Hiroyuki forgets and goes to a games arcade with Shiho, leaving Serika waiting alone after school until Akari notices her and goes to find Hiroyuki

A Moment of Brilliance

Switching from an older girl to a younger one, Hiroyuki is now the sempai who lets himself be entangled by the aspirations of a younger girl, the feisty first year Aoi who is trying to set up an Extreme Rules martial arts club. However the head of the karate club comes to make trouble, and egged on by an outsider (who turns out to be Serika's younger sister) challenges Aoi to a fight. The episode culminates in a contest between the two girls which serves to attract new members to Aoi's fledgling club

Under The blue sky

At the school sports day, Shiho says that the good for nothing Hiroyuki has lost his team spirit; Akari feels he's still reliable. Hiroyuki slowly realises everyone he knows has great expectations of him despite his lackadaisical demeanor, and he comes under pressure to join the relay team in addition to the race he has already agreed to run.

Inspiration

Rio is a plain jane who yearns for the manga fantasy world of dashing heroes and whirlwind romances. When a series of coincidences allow her to get to know her hero Hiroyuki she thinks her luck is in, at least for an hour or two as they go shopping together. Meanwhile, Akari learns from Shiho that Hiroyuki is on a date with a dowdy girl, and wonders what is going on.

A Wandering Stare

Akari meeting a withdrawn and apparently psychic girl Kotone, who is shunned by her classmates as jinxed. Akari politely ignores Kotone's warnings to keep away from her and manages to entice her to join her at a school soccer match.

Peaceful Time

Confined to bed with a cold, Shiho freaks out when she realizes that her absence means Hiroyuki and Akari are revising alone together in Akari's bedroom.

Guinea Pigs

2007-11-16T02:28:00.000-08:00

Guinea pigs are large for rodents, weighing between 700 and 1200g (1.5-2.5 pounds), and measuring between 20 and 25cm (8–10 inches) in length.[26] They typically live an average of four to five years, and occasionally as long as eight years.[27] According to the 2006 Guinness Book of Records the longest living guinea pig survived 14 years, 10.5 months.[28]
In the 1990s, a minority scientific opinion emerged proposing that caviomorphs, such as guinea pigs, chinchillas and degus, are not rodents and should be reclassified as a separate order of mammals (similar to lagomorphs).[29][30] Subsequent research using wider sampling has restored consensus among mammalian biologists that the current classification of rodents as monophyletic is justified.[31][32]

Natural habitat
Cavia porcellus is not found naturally in the wild; it is likely descendant from some closely related species of cavies, such as Cavia aperea, Cavia fulgida, and Cavia tschudii, which are still commonly found in various regions of South America.[15] Some species of cavy identified in the 20th century, such as Cavia anolaimae and Cavia guianae, may be domestic guinea pigs that have become feral by reintroduction into the wild.[6] Wild cavies are found on grassy plains and occupy an ecological niche similar to that of the cow. They are social, living in the wild in small groups which consist of several females (sows), a male (boar), and the young (which in a break with the preceding porcine nomenclature are called pups). They move together in groups (herds) eating grass or other vegetation, and do not store food.[33] While they do not burrow or build nests, they frequently seek shelter in the burrows of other animals, as well as in crevices and tunnels formed by vegetation.[33] They are crepuscular, tending to be most active during dawn and dusk, when it is harder for predators to spot them.[34]

[ Domestic habitat
Domesticated guinea pigs thrive in groups of two or more; groups of sows, or groups of one or more sows and a neutered boar are common combinations. Guinea pigs learn to recognize and bond with other individual guinea pigs, and testing of boars shows that their neuroendocrine stress response is significantly lowered in the presence of a bonded female when compared to the presence of unfamiliar females.[35] Groups of boars may also get along, provided that their cage has enough space, they are introduced at an early age, and no females are present.[36] Domestic guinea pigs have developed a different biological rhythm from their wild counterparts, and have longer periods of activity followed by short periods of sleep in between.[34] Activity is scattered randomly over the 24 hours of the day; aside from avoidance of intense light, no regular circadian patterns are apparent.[34]
Domestic guinea pigs generally live in cages, though some owners of large numbers of guinea pigs will dedicate entire rooms to their pets. Cages with solid or wire mesh floors are used, although wire mesh floors can cause injury and may be associated with an infection commonly known as bumblefoot (ulcerative pododermatitis). "Cubes and Coroplast" (or C&C) style cages are now a common choice. Cages are often lined with wood shavings or a similar material. Bedding made from red cedar and pine, both softwoods, were commonly used in past decades but are now believed to contain harmful phenols (aromatic hydrocarbons) and oils.[39] Safer beddings include those made from hardwoods (such as aspen or hemp); paper products and corn cob are other alternatives. Guinea pigs tend to be messy within their cages; they often jump into their food bowls or kick bedding and feces into them, and their urine crystallizes on cage surfaces and can be difficult to remove. After its cage has been cleaned, a guinea pig will typically urinate and drag the lower body across the floor of the cage to mark its territory. Male guinea pigs may also mark their territory in this way when they are taken out of their cages.
Guinea pigs do not generally thrive when housed with other species. Cohousing of guinea pigs with other rodents such as gerbils and hamsters may increase instances of respiratory and other infections, and such rodents may act aggressively towards the guinea pig.[ Larger animals may regard guinea pigs as prey, though some (such as dogs) can be trained to accept them Opinion is divided over the cohousing of guinea pigs and domestic rabbits. Some published sources say that guinea pigs and rabbits complement each other well when sharing a cage. However, as lagomorphs, rabbits have different nutritional requirements, and so the two species cannot be fed the same food.[46] Rabbits may also harbor diseases (such as the respiratory infections Bordetella and Pasteurella), which guinea pigs are susceptible to. Even the dwarf rabbit is much stronger than the guinea pig and may cause intentional or inadvertent injury.[
[edit] Behavior
Guinea pigs can learn complex paths to food, and can accurately remember a learned path for months.[49] While guinea pigs can jump small obstacles, they cannot climb, and are not particularly agile. However, they startle extremely easily, and will either freeze in place for long periods or run for cover with rapid, darting motions when they sense danger.[34] Larger groups of startled guinea pigs will "stampede", running in haphazard directions as a means of confusion.[50] When excited, guinea pigs may repeatedly perform little hops in the air (known as "popcorning"), a movement analogous to the ferret's war dance.[51] They are also exceedingly good swimmers.[52]
Unlike many rodents, guinea pigs do not participate in social grooming, though they regularly self-groom.[53] A milky-white substance is secreted from their eyes and rubbed into the hair during the grooming process.[54] Groups of boars will often chew each other's hair, but this is a method of establishing hierarchy within a group, rather than a social gesture.[52] Dominance is also established through biting (especially of the ears), piloerection, aggressive noises, head thrusts, and leaping attacks.[55] Non-sexual simulated mounting for dominance is also common among same-sex groups.

All about Hamsters

2007-11-15T00:22:00.000-08:00

Characteristics
Hamsters are stout-bodied, with tails much shorter than body length and have small, furry ears, short, stocky legs, and wide feet. Their thick, long fur can be black, gray, white, brown, buff, yellow, and red depending upon the species; underparts are white to shades of gray and black. The Dzhungarian hamster (Phodopus sungorus) and the striped dwarf hamster (Cricetulus barabensis) have a dark stripe down the middle of the back. Dwarf desert hamsters (genus Phodopus) are smallest, with bodies 5 to 10 cm (about 2 to 4 inches) long; the largest is the common hamster (Cricetus cricetus), measuring up to 34 cm long, not including a short tail of up to 6 cm. As hamsters have live birth (i.e. do not lay eggs) and give milk, they are considered mammals.

Habitat
Hamsters' northern range extends from central Europe through Siberia, Mongolia, and northern China to Korea. The southern portion of their range stretches from Syria to Pakistan. Throughout dry, open country they inhabit desert borders, vegetated sand dunes, shrubby and rocky foothills and plateaus, river valleys, and mountain steppes; some live among cultivated crops. Geographic distribution varies greatly between species. The common hamster, for example, is found from central Europe to western Siberia and northwestern China, but the golden hamster has been found only near a small town in northwestern Syria.

Diet

A Hamster Eating Bread
Hamsters are omnivorous. Their diet consists mostly of grains but also includes fresh fruit, roots, green parts of plants, invertebrates, and other small animals. Hamsters carry food in their spacious cheek pouches to cache in the burrow.
Behavior
Hamsters are generally solitary and primarily nocturnal though also can be considered crepuscular as they are sometimes active in the early morning or late evening. They are excellent diggers, constructing burrows with one or more entrances and with galleries that are connected to chambers for nesting, food storage, and other activities. They also like appropriate tunnels made by other mammals; the striped hairy-footed hamster (Phodopus sungorus), for instance, uses paths and burrows of the pika. None hibernates during winter, but some experience periods of torpor lasting from a few days to several weeks.

Reproduction
Hamsters become fertile at different ages dependent on their species, but this can be from one month to three months of age. Male hamsters remain fertile for the rest of their lives, though females do not. Females are in heat approximately every four days.
Breeding season is from April to October, with two to five litters of 1 to 13 young being born after a gestation period of 16 to 22 days. Gestation lasts 16 to 18 days for Syrian hamsters, 18 to 21 days for the Russian hamsters, 21 to 23 days for Chinese hamsters and 23 to 30 for Roborovski Hamsters. The average litter for Syrians is about 7, but can be as great as 24, which is the maximum number of pups that can be contained in the uterus. Campbell's Dwarf Hamsters tend to have 4 to 8 in a litter but can have up to 14. Winter White Russian Dwarf Hamsters tend to have slightly smaller litters, as do Chinese and Roborovski hamsters.
Hamsters are born hairless and blind in a nest which the mother will have prepared in advance. She uses shredded material such as leaves in the wild but prefers cotton or toilet paper in captivity. After one week they begin to explore outside the nest. They are completely weaned after three weeks, or four for Roborovski Hamsters. Most breeders will sell the hamsters to shops when the hamsters are anywhere from two to eight months old.

Cardcaptor Sakura the movie 2

2007-11-15T00:14:00.000-08:00

The movie starts at a deserted western-style house in the process of being demolished. Suddenly there is a small explosion within the house and a mysterious card is seen illuminating under the half-destroyed floor.
Sakura and Tomoyo go to Yomeda Yuen, a new amusement park, to relax after rehearsing a play at their school in which Sakura plays the princess and Takashi Yamazaki plays the prince. There, they bump in Syaoran and Meiling (Sakura literally "bumped" into Syaoran.) Sakura's feelings for Syaoran are unexpressed despite the fact that he has made his feelings known to her.
Sakura's cards begin to disappear without her noticing. But Sakura notices that parts of her town are going missing. A postal box and a small bridge in her local park both disappear, as if they have been cut off with a sharp knife.
Sakura soon finds out from Eriol that this new power is Clow's 53rd card, the Sealed card. It has the power of all of the other 52 cards combined. Eriol explains that the balance between the two powers was broken when the positive cards became Sakura Cards. He also says that every time the Sealed Card gets a Sakura Card, something near her will be lost. To solve the problem, Sakura must convert the sealed card into a Sakura Card and restore the balance. But in order to do so, one's most important feeling must be sacrificed.
It is finally the day of the Nadeshiko Festival. Everybody in town is out to enjoy this special day. Another card flies away from Sakura's bag and a big void sphere appears in the school ground, Sakura uses Sleep to prevent a panic but moments later, it also flies away. Takashi injured his arm when he fell under the power of Sleep and cannot participate in the play. Some students suggest canceling the play but Takashi suggests that Syaoran take his place.
Later that evening, the play finally starts. In the middle of it, the stage lights suddenly explode and the ground begins to shake. A string of Sakura Cards flies away from her bag into the dark sky. Dark void spheres appear over the audience making everyone except for Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, Meiling, Kero, and Yue vanish. Sakura is determined to get them back and defeat the Sealed Card. Syaoran states hes going with her.
More of the Sakura cards are stolen as the battle begins. Tomoyo and Meiling are captured by the dark spheres as well. It is then that Yue points to where the Sealed Card is hiding - Tomeda Yuen. Yue and Cerberus both attack the Sealed Card but are quickly captured in a dark sphere. Syaoran confronts the card, thinking that he stands a chance against it since his magic is not dependent on the Clow Cards. He manages to hurt the Sealed Card but it eventually deflects his attack and another void sphere appears around him, but he reappears at the base of the tower, wounded. Sakura races after the Sealed Card, but is trapped between two gaping holes. The Sealed Card tells Sakura that she is lonely and wants her friends back and doesn't understand why Sakura gets in the way. Sakura retaliates by saying that friends never push each other. The Sakura cards free themselves from the girl's powers and surrounds the sphere. The Sealed Card is shocked and collapses in tears. The cards align themselves to make a bridge between Sakura and the girl. Sakura approaches the girl and tells her not to worry and join them. While Sakura is prepared to transform the Sealed Card, she remembers that she has not expressed her feelings. When she orders the rebirth of the card, it attacks the person next to her, Syaoran. The attack is negated by a card that Sakura made, when she thought about Syaoran and cried. The tear and her feelings made a new card, called The Hope. The card transforms and Sakura collapses in tears.
Sakura stares at Syaoran with tears in her eyes. She believes it is too late but she expresses her true feelings to him anyways. He replies in a gentle voice that he feels the same way, "Me too, Sakura." the way Syaoran said her name made Sakura realize that Syaoran didn't lose his important and most cherished feeling, his love for Sakura.

Chobits

2007-11-14T01:07:00.000-08:00

The story centers on the life of Hideki Motosuwa, a repeat student (浪人, Rōnin?) attempting to qualify for university by studying at the Seki prep school in Tokyo. Besides a girlfriend, the other thing he dreams of having is a Persocom. A Persocom is an android used as a personal computer; however, they are expensive, and Hideki has no money.
On his way home one evening, he stumbles across a Persocom in the form of a beautiful girl with long blonde hair lying against a pile of trash bags. He first thinks this to be a murder but, realizing she was a Persocom, he carries her home. Upon turning it on, she instantly regards Hideki with adoration. The only word she seems capable of saying is "chi", and thus he names her Chi. Although Chi does not appear to have any programs installed in her, Hideki's friends surmise that she must have some sort of learning program installed, judging from her behaviour.
A major part of the plot involves Hideki attempting to teach Chi words, concepts, and appropriate behaviours, in between cram school and work. At the same time, Chi seems to be developing feelings for Hideki, at an emotional depth, which Persocoms are not supposed to possess, and Hideki struggles with his feelings for her. The series explores the nature of Persocoms, human interactions with them, and the nature of love. All sorts of characters and their Persocoms are introduced, some of them loving Persocoms, and some of them considering them only as tools, and some of them hating them altogether.
In the later part of the story, the characters start to explore Chi's mysterious past. Chi discovers a series of picture books of mysterious origin, that seem to awaken something deep inside of her. The book inspires her to find the "person just for me", a euphemism used in the series to refer to one's true love. Chi is also a very special Persocom, and towards the end of the story, together with Hideki, discovers her true identity, as well as what lies within her

Negima! Magister Negi Magi

2007-11-13T03:14:00.001-08:00

Negi Springfield is a ten year old wizard (He starts out at 9 and is 10 years old as the story goes on) from Wales who dreams of becoming a Magister Magi (Approximate Latin translation: "Mage Master"), special wizards who use their powers to help normal people using covers such as working for NGOs.
Negi's reason for becoming a Magister Magi is to find his father, Nagi Springfield, the legendary mage also known as the "Thousand Master" who many believe to be dead (though the name Thousand Master was cast into doubt in book 3 (Anime Episode 9) when Evangeline flashes back and he states he only mastered a few spells). Later, it is exposed that while his power or ability seem to be among the greatest in the magical world, he regularly uses an 'anchoko', or crib sheet, since he apparently does not bother to memorize the spells themselves.
After graduating from the Merdiana Magic Academy in Wales, he is given a duty as a cover in the real world, and training, before he actually becomes a Magister Magi. That duty is to become an English teacher at Mahora Academy in Japan. The task will not be easy, however, as Negi will become a teacher to a Middle School class of 31 older girls, each very special in her own way. The series details his time and adventures in Japan as he gains acceptance and respect from his students, helps them in their problems, and faces magical threats from inside and outside Mahora Academy.
His main relationship is with Asuna Kagurazaka, his student and roommate, who dislikes him initially but later accepts him as a friend and becomes his partner, helping find clues about his father and his life.
The series, while initially appearing to be another bishōjo work like Love Hina, has progressed into a mix of bishōjo, shōnen action, fantasy, horror, romance and comedy. This coupled with the initial comments of Akamatsu that he specifically wanted to do something "different" than Love Hina has fueled fan speculation. Some feel the current turn in mood for the manga reflects Akamatsu's "real" vision of the series, and the initial setup was just a ruse to placate the publishers expecting a bishōjo series.
Similarly, Love Hina took a turn for the surreal during its later run. Others point to the set up of the series making the classic "shipping" tendencies within such manga moot. Negi himself is prepubescent, and many of his scenes with Asuna are specific subversions of the "awkward romantic scene" tendency of bishōjo manga, quickly diffused and only played for laughs. In addition, many of the girls are able to fawn over him in a childish sense without any romantic expectations from the reader.
In keeping with this style, Negi himself is seen as a contrast to Love Hina's Keitaro and other typical male leads of bishōjo manga. He is hardworking, capable, and treated kindly, but due to his appearance and age (well below most of his students), he feels completely non-threatening and finds it difficult to be taken seriously as a teacher; many of his students treat him as a cute little kid, if not a playmate

Princess Princess!!

2007-11-06T03:31:00.001-08:00

Princess Princess is a story revolving around the lives of three boys chosen to dress up as girls at the all-boy school they attend, which also just happens to be the most elite school in the area. The main protagonist, Toru Kouno, has just transferred to a new all-boys school, Fujimori, after living with his uncle for a time. He is one such boy chosen to be one of the Hime (姫, Hime?) or "Princesses", which is a tradition at the school in order to break up the monotony of life surrounded by nothing but males. Students (based on certain qualifications) are selected to be Princesses and are made to dress up as girls and attend school functions like this.
At the beginning of the story, there are already two such Princesses, Yujiro Shihodani and Mikoto Yutaka, known as the Western Princess and Eastern Princess respectively, due to their room location. Toru is convinced into becoming a Princess soon after entering the school though once he accepted the job, he found it to be much more enjoyable than he thought.

Angel Heart

2007-11-06T03:28:00.000-08:00

A young girl stands on top of a building in Shinjuku as she receives a call from her handler. The handler congratulates the girl, known as "Glass Heart" with a job well done regarding her latest kill, which her handler refers to as her 50th. Glass Heart recounts the day's events. She had just killed a man sitting on a park bench with a silenced gun. As she was leaving the park, a small girl runs in with some ice cream and Glass Heart realizes that she has just killed the father of a young girl. With that she jumps off the building, impaling her chest on the iron spiked fence below.
At the same time, Kaori Makimura is running late for an appointment to take wedding photos with her husband, the "City Hunter" Ryo Saeba. When she sees a girl about to be run over by a truck, she jumps and pushes the girl out of the way before the truck hits her. A short while later, she is declared brain dead and her heart is harvested for organ donation, as she had a donor card on her when she died. However, the Organization, needing a heart for their assassin, steal Kaori's heart while it is in transit and implants it into Glass Heart's Body.
Glass Heart is transported to Taiwan, where she remains in a coma for a year. During that time, she is haunted by the images of the people she has killed, along with the images of the donor Kaori as well as Ryo Saeba of whom she does not know. She wakes up after one year to find out who these people are. She travels back to Shinjuku, and after several close events, manages to track down the "City Hunter". He has since retired from his role since his wife's death. Upon finding that Glass Heart is the recipient of Kaori's heart, Ryo decides to adopt her as his daughter, and is also given a name provided by her real father: Xiang Ying. The former mercenary now tries to help the former assassin move on with a normal life in the outside world.
The anime adaptation has recently concluded in Japan, though the manga is still ongoing. The manga is also available in France and Italy.

CardCaptor Sakura

2007-11-06T03:27:00.000-08:00

The series begins as a simple girls' comic of the magical girl genre. Ten-year-old fourth grader Sakura Kinomoto opens a mysterious book in her father's study and accidentally lets loose the magical Clow Cards. By her ability to open the seal, Sakura is revealed to have special powers, and it becomes her responsibility to retrieve the missing cards.
The task involves finding each card, battling its magical personification, and sealing it away. She is assisted by Cerberus (Kerberos, also known as Kero-chan), the Beast of the Seal assigned to protect the cards, who was asleep when Sakura opened the Clow Book (He was on a "nap" at the time, which lasted 30 years). Kero, who looks like an animated plush toy throughout most of the series (his "borrowed" form), guides Sakura as she develops her Cardcaptor powers. In the first episode, he presents her with the Key of the Seal, which allows her to fight and capture the Clow Cards.
Clow Card Arc (クロウカード編, Kurō Kādo-hen?)The first six volumes of the manga and the first and second seasons of the anime focus on Sakura's attempts to capture the released Clow Cards. Cerberus acts as her guide and mentor throughout the quest, while classmate and best friend Tomoyo Daidouji (who is also her second cousin) assists in designing Sakura's battle costumes and filming her adventures.
Sakura also competes with Syaoran Li, the descendant of the Clow Cards' creator, Clow Reed, in capturing the Cards. The first half of the series ends after the Final Judgment, in which those who have attempted to capture the Clow Cards are tested by the mysterious Yue for the right to become Master of the Clow.
Cardcaptor Sakura: The Movie (劇場版カードキャプターさくら, Gekijōban Kādokyaputā Sakura?)Occurring between episodes 35 and 36 of the 1st and 2nd seasons, respectively, (or the middle of the 1st season in international releases), the first movie takes Sakura and company to Hong Kong during winter break.
Still in her quest to capture all the Clow Cards, Sakura encounters new challenges, some of which take place in ominous dreams. Sakura must defeat a vengeful sorceress called Madoushi who was rejected by Clow Reed in the past or risk losing her family and friends.
Sakura Card Arc (さくらカード編, Sakura Kādo-hen?)The latter six volumes of the manga and third season of the anime introduce several new characters, including the enigmatic Eriol Hiiragizawa. Since Sakura has now become the new Master of the Clow Cards, she must transform them under her own magic into Sakura Cards. At the same time, new strange disturbances are occurring in Tomoeda, which adds further pressure to Sakura's task. Meanwhile, Syaoran falls in love with Sakura and tries to find a way to admit his feelings to her.
Cardcaptor Sakura Movie 2: The Sealed Card (劇場版カードキャプターさくら封印されたカード, Gekijōban Kādokyaputā Sakura: Fūin Sareta Kādo?)Occurring after the end of the 3rd season (2nd in international releases), the 2nd movie brings closure to the relationship questions between Sakura and Syaoran, which were left somewhat unanswered in the last episode of the TV series.
Like the 1st movie, the 2nd movie does not follow or adapt from any events depicted in the manga and, therefore, closes the anime series in a different manner. Syaoran has already admitted his feelings to Sakura, but she has yet to answer him. Chances become good when Syaoran visits Tomoeda from Hong Kong over the summer and participates in a school play with Sakura during the Nadeshiko Festival. However, Sakura has more issues challenging her than finding the right moment to confess to Syaoran. A strange force begins stealing the Sakura Cards and erasing portions of Tomoeda. Sakura soon encounters a mysterious Clow Card called The Nothing, the antithesis of the 52 Sakura Cards with as much negative power as all their positive powers combined.

Nanoha A's

2007-11-05T03:50:00.000-08:00

A's is set six months after the first series and begins by explaining what has happened in the time between the two series. Nanoha has been constantly practicing her techniques whilst Fate and Arf have remained in the custody of the Time-Space Administration agency, patiently waiting for the results of her trial. Fate and Nanoha have been keeping in contact by sending video DVDs to each other.
While working on an assignment at home, Raising Heart tells Nanoha that danger is approaching. Nanoha enters battle with the mysterious girl and is injured heavily due to the massive damage that the girl's weapon is capable of inflicting. Fate and Yūno arrives just in time to save Nanoha from death and battles the girl, but the girl's friends come to join in the battle shortly after. The first battle with the Wolkenritters already showed the power of them and their magical devices.
Throughout this series, Hayate Yagami, the wheelbound girl, was seen frequently with the Wolkenritters. It is not until much later in the series, was it explained. Hayate Yagami is actually the new mistress of the Buch der Dunkelheit (Book of Darkness), thus, became the mistress of the Wolkenritters too. However, she treats them differently from their other previous masters, caring for them as if they were her friends, which is why they showed feelings when they are not supposed to. The reason why she is wheelbound is because the Book of Darkness is eating into her and the Wolkenritters thought that the only way to stop it was to fill up all the 666 pages of Book of Darkness, thus, disobeying Hayate's order to stop hurting people because they had grown to love Hayate.
Nanoha and Fate were oblivious to the fact that Hayate is the mistress of Book of Darkness and had even become friends with her, it was not till they met the Wolkenritters in her hospital ward while visiting her then they realised it was her. This set off a series of events and let Hayate trigger the key of opening the Book of Darkness.

Nanoha

2007-11-05T03:49:00.000-08:00

Nanoha Takamachi is a 3rd grade elementary school girl. She lives with her parents who run a coffee shop, and her older sister and brother who are in high school and university respectively. Nanoha's regular life changes when she hears a voice calling to her on the way home and ends up rescuing an injured ferret (who is actually a transformed boy called Yūno, an archaeologist from a distant world). She obtains a magical crystal called Raising Heart (レイジングハート, Reijingu Hāto?), and gains magical powers.
After their encounter, Nanoha and Yūno have to collect the twenty-one "Jewel Seeds" (ジュエルシード, Jueru Shīdo?), powerful lost crystals from Yūno's world that grant wishes and are very dangerous when misused. However, Nanoha and Yūno are not the only ones after the Jewel Seeds. So is Fate Testarossa, a foreign girl with sad eyes...

Mermaid Melody

2007-11-05T03:47:00.000-08:00

Luchia, Mermaid Princess of the North Pacific Ocean, sets out to land to find the boy she saved from a shipwreck seven years before the beginning of the story, the boy to whom she entrusted her pink pearl. She eventually found the boy: a surfer named Kaito Dōmoto. But as the human form Lucia assumed, a girl named Lucia Nanami, bears very little resemblance to her mermaid form, Kaito cannot recognize her. She cannot tell Kaito who she really is; otherwise, according to mermaid folklore, she would turn into foam. So she tries to convince Kaito into figuring out who she really is (since the legend does not say anything about the other person discovering a mermaid's true identity by himself).
At the same time, Lucia has been told that a group of water demons or suiyō (水妖) have invaded the marine world and she must gather the six other Mermaid Princesses and their pearls to resurrect the legendary goddess Aqua Regina to stop them. To fulfill this, she joins forces with Hanon and Rina, Mermaid Princesses who came up to dry land, use their pearls, turn into singing idols, and use their voices as an offensive.

Sister Princess

2007-11-05T03:20:00.000-08:00

Wataru Minakami fails an entrance exam and therefore is left behind by his friends. He suddenly finds out that his father has enrolled him in a school in Promised Island and is suddenly whisked there. Upon arrival, he finds out that he has twelve sisters who look forward to spend his time with them. He has to face to a decision to go back to his possibly stereotypical lifestyle in Tokyo or be in Promised Island together with his sisters.
Mamimi, or Mami (眞深) for short, is initially regarded by those new to the anime as the "13th sister." In fact, like the sisters, she has a pet name for Wataru: An-chan (あんちゃん). However, she is just a girl posing as one of Wataru's sisters after he mistakes her as such, and she is sent by someone to watch over him and break him away from the sisters so she can bring him back to Tokyo.
Mami can be regarded as a pseudo-antagonist because of her mission, but she mostly acts as comic relief, even learning why the sisters love him very much. Eventually, she becomes a source of advice to Wataru and even goes after him when he returns to Tokyo, hoping to return him to the island.
In marked contrast to the sisters themselves, Mami treats him differently, acting as if she is more of a friend than a sibling (though towards the ending of the series, however, there are some hints that Mami might be developing deeper feelings towards Wataru). Furthermore, she doesn't bring a lot of things to Promised Island (only clothes and camping gear) with a hand-held computer and possibly a sewing machine as (arguably) her only luxuries.
Although she is not really Wataru's sister, she is somebody's sister. She always receives e-mails from her real brother, demanding whatever happened to Wataru and her plans to bring him back, much to her chagrin.
Towards the end of the series, it is confirmed that Akio, Wataru's friend in Tokyo, was Mami's older brother. The two are initially seen to have a bad relationship, with Akio treating his sister more as an agent than as a sibling and her caring little for him. Akio accuses Mami of having grown decadent on Promised Island, whereas she finds his intentions for Wataru to be distasteful. Later, they seem to be growing a little closer to each other, Mami managing to playfully tease Akio and him reminiscing a little about their past together; apparently she used to address her brother with the nickname she has bestowed on Wataru, 'An-chan'.

Taro Yamada (山田太郎, Yamada Tarō?)

Taro Yamada
Yamada is the third ferry passenger who goes with Wataru and Mami to Promised Island so he would enroll at the school there.
Like Mami, he also provides comic relief to the show, acting as an odd-ball cassanova and makes friends with Wataru so he can have a girlfriend. This is especially evident when he calls Wataru lucky for having very pretty sisters and dreams of spending his time with them. To this purpose, he would do anything to get their attention. Despite his odd behaviour, Yamada does have some redeeming traits; he can work very hard if he is properly motivated and refrains from doing anything truly scandalous.
It is worth noting that although none of the sisters shows any romantic interest in Yamada, they do seem to place a considerable amount of trust in him, probably because he is vocal about being friends with Wataru. Karen enlists his aid as a sympathetic ear for Wataru on one occasion, and Shirayuki listens to him when he says Wataru needs "nutrition for the heart", meaning she should make him much more food because it makes him feel manly (Yamada only said this because he wanted some of Shirayuki's cooking for himself and thought he could eat whatever Wataru can't).
When he is not spending his time with the sisters, Taro focuses his attention to anything related to a fictional anime called Garban (a parody of Gundam). Some of the episodes actually end with him watching Garban; these often involve either Yamada or one of the characters to make a comment that mimicks Wataru's own situation. Eventually, he manages to outgrow this obsession, when he is provided with a surplus of Garban material. His fascination with the fairer sex remains as strong as ever, though.

Akio Yamagami (山神燦緒, Yamagami Akio?)

Akio
Akio is Wataru's best friend back in Tokyo and the recipient of Wataru's e-mails which the latter writes at the beginning and end of almost every episode.
He has plans to have himself, Wataru, and another friend, Minai, to go to the same high school together and eventually become the elite men in society. But this plan fails after Wataru's failure in the entrance exam. The continuation of his plan is the reason why he sent his little sister Mami to watch over Wataru. At the end of the anime, Akio is jarred from his own vision of the future by Wataru's refusal to stay in Tokyo. He follows Wataru to Promised Island in the company of Mami and enrolls there, according to him in an effort to find out 'what is truly cool', based on a comment from Mami that his original plans for the future weren't.
Considering the fact that Akio transfers into the same class as Mami and Wataru, he and Mami must be nearly the same age. It is unknown whether they share only one parent or both.

Jiiya (じいや, Jiiya?)

Jiiya the butler
Jiiya (or Jeeves in the English dub) is, simply put, Wataru's old butler, who reports to Wataru in the first episode that he was leaving because he had promised Wataru's father that he would take care of Wataru until he graduated from junior high school and then sent Wataru to Promised Island. However, since then, Jiiya has been seen in numerous different guises just to watch over him, too, especially on his past.
One should take note that he should not be confused with Aria's maid, whom she also calls Jiiya.

Dream Girl

Dream Girl
This young girl's ghost, wearing a yellow dress and hat, is somehow related to Wataru in some way and frequently appears in strange places. Her identity is never fully established and there is speculation about who she really is. The only certain thing about her is that before Wataru left Promised Island when he was a boy, he made a promise with her and she disappeared soon after for reasons unknown.
In the last episode, part of her face is finally revealed and it resembles a younger version of Karen; many fans believe that Karen was the Dream Girl whom Wataru met many years ago on Promised Island, but it was never confirmed. Alternatively, she may be an amalgam of Wataru's buried memories of his sisters, forgotten until he experienced a time of great stress and lost the way he'd set out on in Tokyo, allowing her to manifest again.

Tsubasa

2007-11-05T03:00:00.000-08:00

Sakura is the princess of Clow kingdom, which is ruled by her older brother, King Tōya. Her childhood friend Syaoran is a young archaeologist. Sakura is revealed to have strange powers when she has a vision of a mysterious symbol and places she has never seen. Meanwhile, Syaoran discovers the same symbol at the ruins he is excavating. He sees Sakura standing on the symbol on the ground. Ghostly wings appear on her back and a mysterious force begins to pull her into the walls of the ruins. Syaoran rescues her in time, but her wings are scattered across dimensions. The High Priest of Clow Kingdom, Yukito, immediately realizes that Sakura's "wings" were the manifestation of her soul and memories; without them, she will die. In order to save Sakura, Syaoran must journey to retrieve her wing's feathers, the fragments of her memories.
Yukito sends Syaoran and the unconscious Sakura to the Dimensional Witch, Yūko, who is one of the main characters in xxxHolic. There he meets Kurogane, a rough-mannered ninja banished from his world by Princess Tomoyo, and Fay D. Flourite, a magician who fled his world to avoid King Ashura. Each of them must pay with what he values most in order to gain the power to cross dimensions. For Kurogane, it is his sword Ginryū, and for Fay, it is the tattoo on his back which regulates his control of his magic. Syaoran, on the other hand, must pay with his relationship with Sakura: even if he is able to retrieve all of her memories, she will never remember anything about him or their relationship. (This sacrifice also pays Sakura's "toll" to Yūko, because what Sakura values most are her memories of and with Syaoran.) Only when the three agree to her terms does Yūko present them with the power to cross dimensions; a white creature named Mokona Modoki.
While traversing through worlds to find Sakura's feathers, the four travellers and Mokona are forced to overcome many dangers and opponents, some of whom are figures from Syaoran's past who wish to collect Sakura's feathers for their own reasons as they are seen to be objects that hold great power.
The manga adopts darker and more complex tones in the latter half of the story.
Because of the crossover characters with xxxHolic, the two manga occasionally intertwine with each other.
