The Troll's Bridge

Welcome back readers!
Today I would tell you a very little story inspired by this photo I took last week:

"The Troll's Bridge"

Once upon a time, a troll was living under a bridge near  a village and for each villager that passed the bridge he asked a toll. One day he met a little girl and, as usually, he stopped her and saied:

"If you want pass, you have to pay a toll."

"Why I should pay for passing the bridge?" asked the girl.

"Because it's mine." the troll answered.

"It can't be yours, I don't see any signpost with your name on."

"But it's my home!" the troll was getting angry.

"Don't shout please. I have to go now or I'll be late for school." the girl passed without paying the toll, and the troll retired under his bridge.

The following day, early in the moarning, the troll was still sleeping whe he was woke up by a strong noise of a hummer hitting on something. He went out by the bridge to see what was happening and saw the girl of the day before who was installing a signpost to the starting of the bridge.

"Why are you doing this?" asked the troll.

"Because you're right asking a toll to villagers who want pass the bridge, but you should show that this is your bridge." answered the girl. After she finished to install the signpost she gave two coins to the troll; one for the day before and one for that ones, than she passed the bridge and went to school.

Days passed and all the villagers wanted pass the bridge, payed the toll for the troll. He became reach, but he wasn't happy. He liked scare the villagers who didn't want to pay the toll, and now he was boring. One day he decided to break the signpost for scaring all the villagers who passed there. When she meet again the girl she asked:

"Why did you break the signpost? Didn't you want our coins?"

"I don't want your coins, I want scare all of you." answered happy the troll.

"So, you don't need of this?" the girl asked showing the coin.

"No, I don't need it." he took a big sack of coins and gave it to the girl, than he retired again under the bridge, waiting for the next villager to scare. The girl came back home with the big sack of coins and decided to use them for halp her parents with the field of grain. From that day the troll nevemore scared the girl, he scared only the other villagers.

Hope you liked the story.

Have a nice weekend and...pay attention to the troll!

Verona Comics' Fair

Hello readers! How are you?

Last sunday I went to the Verona Comics' fair with my boyfriend and friends. It was so beautiful despite the weather was rainy. We left home at half past eight in the moarning and it took two houres for reach our destination. After entered the fair, we started walk around the stands, watching what we could by later. While we was walking around, I saw a staffed animal of a sweet character of an old anime I used to wath with my sister when I was young. It's name is Mokona by the anime "Magic Knignt Rayearth". I've always loved it.

After the first parade lap, we had our lunch, and then we started with purchases. At the end of the shopping I bought: 2 mangas, a beautiful kimono, a nice collar with a little bell a cat's tail and a nwe boardgame, "Caverna: the cave farmers".

I have finished to read last night the second number of the manga "Bloody Mary" .It is so misterious and nice! Waiting for the third number, I will read the other one I bought "Torikago Syndrome".

Have a nice weekend!

Manga review: Lost Universe

Hi dears!
I have just finished to read the manga "Lost Universe" by Hajime Kanzaka, the same mangaka of "Slayers".

Kain Blueriver and Mileniam Feria Nocturne (Milly) meet themselves during a mission. After she loses her job, Milly decides to get in the Sword Breaker, an ancient space sgip with phenomenal powers, but only Canal, the trip computer, knows the misteries arownd this jewel of science and tecnology.

The manga is composed by only 6 volumes without missing anything. It's a nice commedy, with an, all in all, happy ending. I liked it so much that I didn't realized I was reading the last pages. It doesn't let you go, keeping inside it during all the time.

Have a nice week!

Anime review: Diabolik Lovers

Welcome back readers! How are you?
Last month I watched the anime Diabolik Lovers, but I forgot to write the review!

A coworker of mine suggested me this anime and I watched it in 2 days. It is composed by 2 series, "Diabolik Lovers" by Shinobu Tagashira and "Diabolik Lovers: More Blood" by Hiroko Kusanagi.

The plot is very simple: in the first series there is a girl who is left in front of the gate of a villa occupied by a family of vampire. They are 6 brothers born from three different mothers and the same father. In the second one, the girl is kidnapped by other 4 vampires. They were humans that have been transformed in vampires.

I can't express myself about the plot, because is very very simple, but I can do it for the characters. My favourites are 4; two of the first series and two of the second one. They are Ayato, Light, Kou and Yuma. Ayato is the classic bad boy, Light and Kou are the charismatic members of the party and Yuma is the one that seems a tough guy outside, but inside is very gentle.

Well, nothing so demanding, but something relaxing and, why not, something you can joke on.

Thank you for reading!

Have a nice week!

Emily.

Manga Review: Chrono Crusade

Hi readers, how are you?

I have just finished the reading of "Chrono Crusade", an anime by Daisuke Moriyama. I started reading this manga some years ago, when my sister bought the first 2 or 3 numbers of it and then I had to stop it because she wasn't able to find the other numbers.  Last week I remebered it and I looked for it on  Manga Eden,  my favourite manga website.

Chrono is a demon who estabilished a pact with Rosette, an exorcist nun of the order of the Maddlein. Together hunt demons that reach the USA while they are looking for Joshua, the little brother of Rosette.

I can't say anything else, because I will spoil you too much things about the story. I really enjoyed it, so much that I started also to watch the anime. You should read it too, especially you, female readers ;) and remember only only one thing: have in store some hankies :P

Hope you enjoyed this post.

See you.
