I’ve been on a manga-binge lately, had finished Hot Gimmick and caught up with Ouran HS Club and Nana. Then, I had started with Arakure. Yeah, you can probably tell that I’m a huge shojo manga fan. Anyway, I wanted to take a mini break and decided to review my what-to-see list. My weekend anime journey began last night on the following four, which I have come to a liking to:
Bokura ga ita
Genres: comedy, drama, romance, slice of life
Summary:
The start of high school life. To the girls, that also meant the start of their love lives. For brand new first year student, Takahashi Nanami (Nana for short), it was no different… She happens to end up in the same class as the incredibly popular Yano Motoharu, who rumors say that two thirds of all the girls are guaranteed to fall in love with. But will that hold true for Nana, who says that if she had to choose between like or dislike, she’d say she dislikes him!?

Higashi no Eden
Genres: action, mystery, romance
Summary:
On November 22, 2010 ten missiles strike against uninhabited areas of Japan, claiming no victims. This apparent terrorist act is referred to as “Careless Monday” and disregarded by most people. The series begins three months later, with a young Japanese woman named Saki Morimi visiting Washington D.C. as part of her graduation trip. When she gets into trouble, a mysterious Japanese man, who introduces himself as Akira Takizawa, helps her through it. The man appears to have no memory and is completely naked, carrying only a gun and a cell phone charged with 8.2 billion yen in digital money.[1] The cell phone has the phrase, noblesse oblige (“nobility obligates” or “noble’s obligation” in English), printed on it. While they are coming back to Japan, they learn that a new missile attack has taken place in their country.
