Shimuzu Reiko is a Japanese mangaka, also known for her illustrations of tarot cards. She debuted in 1983 with 'Sansaro Monogatari' for LaLa and she was the first runner up in Puff magazine's New Artist Award in 1985.
This mangaka is not only known for her beautiful drawing style but also her vivid stories and characters as well. Her stories are a combination of sci-fi, romance, mystery, comedy, and something philosophical. Shimizu's best known serial is Kaguya Hime, published in Hana to Yume since 1994. She works mainly for publisher Hakusensha in the shoujo genre. Other successful manga was the thriller 'Himitsu' for Melody magazine.

In regards to art, Shimizu Reiko’s art style is definitely very beautiful; however, many characters look SO similar that it’s hard to distinguish them from one another sometimes x_x
Story wise, I’d say she’s brilliant ^_^ Well, yes, some were vague and absurd and wtf, but most of them had awed me a lot. And I love genres like sci-fi, mystery, romance, fantasy and comedy,  and she does a great mix on them ^_^ Really splendid ^_^ 
Her works are definitely worth to check out! ^_^

Sorrow’s Dark Array
Author - cornerofmadness
Disclaimer - not mine, all characters belong to Hiromu Arakawa et al, Square Enix and funimition.
Pairing – Roy/Riza, Ed/Win (eventually) Winry/OC, mentions of Maes/Gracia and Al/OC
Rating – will vary from chapter to chapter, mostly Pg-13 but will eventually contain well marked adult chapters.
Time Line – anime based, spoilers all the way through the anime and the movie and does have strong manga elements such as Armstrong’s older sister and the land of Xing
Summary – As Roy and Riza prepare for their wedding, while dodging assassins, Ed and Al try to find their way back home.
Author’s Note #1– This was written after much prodding by evil_little_dog as a sequel to the source of sorrow and is now her holiday gift even if she has beta’ed part of it. So thanks to her and lyricnonsense for the beta. You do not have to read the first story to understand this. You’ll quickly pick up that Riza has retired from the military to be Roy’s wife and bodyguard. Olivia Armstrong is now president and she’s assigned Roy as the ambassador to Ishbal; oh and that Roy was severely injured in the destruction of the Gate, requiring some of Winry’s automail.
Author's Note #2 - This is a longer work and like real relationships, the ones listed in the pairings, take time to mend and come together. They have to work at it. Hope you enjoy the ride.

All chapters linked on main post.

Hi I just had a question, I was wondering in either the anime or in the novel. Did Shirou ever find out about Archer ? And what was his reaction to it ?
If it is in the anime, can someone tell me which episode.
Thank you.

hiya!!!!!!

interested in RP??
then rizumikaru_yomiis the right place for you!!!! Whoot!!!!!
applications are super easy and fast!

FSN players there are bored and we need more characters :P
....eg// Ilya, assassin, lancer...and many more!

check our rules/taken characters and apply today!

 That's the lyric that inspired this drawing. I don't know how, but it did. (I think Havoc was involved...) 
Lyric from the song "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers.

Pairing: RoyxRiza
Rating: PG, maaaybe PG-13, but that's probably pushing it.

Anyway, 

Done in pencil, I will probably photoshop it soon though. 
Drawn manga-style, and quickly realized that it is much prettier/easier drawing that way. 
Time: A couple of hours. Maybe five or six. (There are reasons why it took me so long. Dx) 

(Crossposted in places... sorry, f-list. D: )

I recently compiled a list of characters who have been confirmed to be in the upcoming Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology sequel for my own blog, and since I didn't want my hard work to go to waste I thought I'd copy and paste the list here for those interested in finding out whether or not their favourite Tales character will be making an appearance. :)

Some of the references I used are here:

( On to the list! )

Also, I babbled on a bit about the upcoming Tales of Hearts game and the Tales of the Abyss anime in my original blog entry, but since a lot of it is random fangirling, I thought it wouldn't be appropriate to post it here. If you're interested in reading it though, it can be found here. Shameless plug.

Crack RPG looking for FMA characters

Slow Monday is slow?

Guess who was bored and decided to decorate her ds?!


This is what it looks like when closed.


This is what it looks like when it's opened fully.

And the keychain thingies attached to my ds! <3 3 panda mochi things and a Gintama keychain. I actually wanted Okita, Gintoki or Katsura... ;___; but I guess Hijikata is okay too....

here @ ladyflash

This one is so crack ya know xD The villains and the protagonists had opposite roles xD Awesomeness! I still like the first Parallel Works video better, but this one's also good:
 
And OMG . . Kamina with sideburns is soooo LOL!!!! xD

Even though Kamina had left too soon in the series, he sure is such a significant character. Reminds me of Soldier Blue form Toward the Terra. How I wish Toward the Terra will also make crack videos like this xD Shangrila-Gakuen was lovely but . . .I want more *_*

Anywayz, other stuff:
- Nabari no Ou anime is sooooo Miharu x Yoite o_o . . . they added more scenes that the manga didn't have I think o_o. Oh well, what I want to see more is next episode . . .Kouichi *_*
- I've removed the icons from shows that are already over. The new ones I added are shows that are long over, but my love for them hasn't died yet xD So I just had to add them there xD Take the icon I'm using for example. Oh my Bacano Top Three *_*
- Kind spoilery: YOUNG C.C.!! SOOO CUTE!!! ---> http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/6791/ccbimbazb4.jpg
- Cool and fun looking Soul Eater pic; I wish to see a better scan of it soon xD---> http://www.bones.co.jp/souleater_yota/archives/HI3B0035.JPG
- Speaking of Soul Eater, I've heard Kid's there . . and there's a new ED. Must download =3
- Damn I'm still not done manga reading o_o
- Also anime watching. Got subs of some of the new shows. Will finish downloading soon ^^;

Princess Tutu was the last anime that I finished watching.

If it's allowed, would anyone be willing to make me some Rue/Ahiru icons? Because I am in love with that ship. *_*

Fakir/Mytho is obvious slash, too. But I'm all for the girls.

Either in their human or princess forms, it doesn't matter to me.

Text would be nice!

I think this is probably the best Ed-Returns-After-The-End-Of-The-Series story I've read. Homecoming by pixietwist is incomplete but three more chapters went up today. The characterizations of Ed, Al and Winry are spot on. Ed's delightfully conflicted, Winry's sweet and dangerous and Alphonse is wise beyond his years. This story needs much, much, much love. Go and give it.

A screenshot of the new OP and ED of Code Geass R2:

(OP): She looks so damn . . . . BEAUTIFUL
(ED) Angelic Sexy Witch X Fallen Dark Warlock = ABSOLUTE SQUEE!
OP and ED Video link:

A Run-on Sentence for Thoughts on the latest episode: There was an Orange and She was around and He killed her then there was Drama.
Oh whatever. I'm just happy she's gone xD I have no grudge to the murderer . . .no matter the reason. (I'm so bias, I know *evil laugh*) 
New OP is nice. New ED didn't seem . . new x_X but first scene made up for everything. So just add more C.C. in the upcoming episode and this series will be much more enjoyable. Even more enjoyable if Nina dies xD She scares me!
I didn't download the RAW of this episode though. I can wait . . .subs are released fast anywayz. Hehe.

Alright . . . now I shall proceed to manga reading xD
