Hi all,
If y’all are wondering why I’ve been away from the site lately, it’s because of the work that I have been putting into moving the blog into new grounds. I hope everyone would make the jump onto my new site, as it’s definitely an improvement over the current one you’re on right now.
Here’s a link for everyone: HETA NO YOKO-ZUKI V.2
Hopefully I’ll see you all on the other side and thanks for dropping by! 
I’d like to introduce in this section a site that I recently discovered and now love. It’s actually been up and running for a while now but I only managed to stumble upon it recently through a friend’s recommendation. The blog I’m referring to is 1UP’s very own RPG blog, The Grind.
After finding the blog, I’ve been constantly referring to it back and forth lately, since it is updated pretty often, with many great entries that has very interesting content. The range between the type of RPGs being discussed is also sure to help readers be more informed on genres they aren’t familiar with. This has certainly been the case for me, since after reading a couple of their entries, I’ve been really tempted to have a go at strategy RPG games, possibly making a start on Valkyria Chronicles, since it seems to be a very innovative title that breaks the usual conventions of the genre. It also helped that the game received glowing reviews from damn near every gaming publication and site out there, so the critical acclaim is already present. Not to mention the beautiful cell-shaded graphics……

「-ナルト-」Chapter 436: Peace
Read Online at: ONEMANGA
Summary: Picking up from last week, Inoichi has suddenly figured out where the real Pain might be hiding this whole time. He points out that during his investigation of Jiraiya’s captives, he found out that the Amagakure Ninjas had been transporting corpses to the highest tower in the village. Through his knowledge and experience of chakra channeling, he knows that in order for a ninja to transmit chakra at it’s best, it’s ideal for them to be as close to the recipient as possible. It’s also best if they were taking cover at higher grounds. There were rumors that Pain had been residing at that tall tower in Amagakure, so it is safe to assume that the real Pain would be channeling his chakra somewhere in or around Konoha, at the tallest point. With this new info, Inoichi, along with Shikamaru, Shikaku, Ino and Shiho, set off to find Pain in the surrounding area.
Can’t believe it’s been about 2+ weeks since my last blog post, it’s been quite a while. Been extremely busy in the real world lately, the university trimester is starting on the 2nd of March so I’ve been setting things up left and right so that I can start the year in peace. Buying things to bring back to the apartment, as well as starting to pack sure is tiring, as well as sorting out things to bring and leave at home. I’ve bought a lot of things in the past 4 months so taking things back can be quite difficult, as I now have a new fender strat guitar to bring back as well, along with it’s behemoth of a case. So yea, that’s the update on my life lately. Moving back up on Sunday so I might not post a new entry until at least Wednesday, when I will hopefully get my internet connection up and running at the apartment.
Now enough about that, there are some positive things that have happened recently. I’ve got my tablet back so I can finally get back to colouring and submitting artwork on DA!!! It’s been at least 13 months since I last touched a tablet, let alone color something so I have been quite anxious to see how far my skills have deteriorated. That’s why I picked a nice cover from my fav manga, Eyeshield 21, and went off on a piece. I chose Karin cos she has got to be one of the hottest and sweetest female characters I have seen recently. The lack of coloured pieces and fanarts for her is damn appalling so I thought I should try to contribute more to her cause.
Here’s the Work-In-Progress I have at the moment. Keep in mind that I haven’t colored in a long while so yea, there might be some oddities here and there

#314 Summary: After Sena’s touchdown run which ended the last chapter, everything is flowing very smoothly for Japan. They are virtually unstoppable, as the Militaria soon find out. Gomery boasts that offense is the key point of Militaria’s game, and that they were going to win the game thanks to his superior build and speed. Hearing Gomery’s stats, Japan realizes that he is no match for the team, as he is still vastly inferior to their own aces. Showing them the speed of Shin and the power of Gaou in defense, Militaria soon realize that even with their Sergeant running on offense, they were still incapable of defeating Japan.
「-ナルト-」Chapter 433: Sage Technique Failure…!?
Read Online at: ONEMANGA
Summary: Naruto’s sage mode has now run out due to his usage of the fuuton rasen shuriken and while he gets a breather, Shima suggests that she and Fukasaku go on and fuse with Naruto’s body, in order to prolong the sage mode. Fukasaku says that it is impossible, due to the Kyuubi’s chakra conflicting with their own, rejecting them out of his body. He does say that Naruto has figured out a way to overcome this disadvantage and told her that they will be doing that instead. God Realm Pain sees this opening and takes the opportunity to attack Naruto while he recuperates. Before Pain reaches Naruto however, Gamabunta stalls him by attacking him with his sword. Naruto takes the opportunity to take the giant scroll off his back, getting himself ready for the battle.

Summary: The chapter picks off exactly where the last ended, with Saiko calling Shujin to inform him that he accepted the offer to work as Eiji Niizuma’s assistant for the summer. Shujin seemed somewhat surprised after hearing that it was for Niizuma, but then apologizes and promises that he will be back with a good name by the end of summer. Miyoshi found it a bit odd that Shujin was allowing Saiko to work for someone else, seeing as they were partners. Shujin agrees with Saiko however, stating that rather than have him do nothing while he comes up with a good name, he would be better off gaining experience somewhere else. Miyoshi worries that she might be a nuisance to the duo’s dreams but Shujin reassures her that she was not in their way.

Summary: Set in 2020, Rideback takes place during a future where a resistance movement, called the GGP, has taken control over the world.

None of this matters however to a certain Ogata Rin, the protagonist of this story. She is in the middle of her biggest ballet performance of her life.

「 アイシールド21 」313th Down: Ambition
Read Online at: ONEMANGA
Summary: The results from the first round matches have finally been updated on the World Cup website and the team matchups in the second round are:
After Agon’s shenanigans during the first match, the team is worried that he might intervene with the team line-up once more for his own gain. Hiruma knows this but he sees Agon as a very important piece to the team therefore they should get him to cooperate with them willingly rather than have him as an outcast. Agon seems to have other plans however as Sena and Suzuna see him sneak off somewhere to meet a girl. The two were suspicious of his actions and decided that they should do some snooping of their own and follow him, with Suzuna comparing themselves to famous detective manga characters Detective Conan and Kindaichi (which Sena found to be odd as usual =P)
