People Who Inspire The World's Most Innovative Billionaire
Published 6:04 am, Sunday, March 10, 2013
Elon Musk is arguably the most innovative man in technology, or even the world. He's the founder of electric car company Tesla Motors, he's chairman of Solar City, and he created NASA rival SpaceX.
Who inspires the man who inspires everyone else?
Today at a big tech conference, South by Southwest, Elon Musk told thousands of listeners that he has great admiration for Benjamin Franklin, Winston Churchill, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos.
"I've been inspired by a lot of historical figures," Musk said. "One of my favorite guys is Ben Franklin. He just thought about what are the problems that need to get solved and worked on those. He seemed like a good guy all around. I like historical figures in science and literature."

Next, Musk was asked for the best advice he's ever received.
Musk says it didn't come from a person. It came from studying physics.
"The physics training is very good training," he said. "It's a good framework for reasoning. You break things down to the most fundamental truths, and break them down to try and figure out what reality is. You have got have a framework for getting there. Quantum Mechanics is incredibly counter-intuitive, but it's true. It's a lot of advice, and it's the right framework."
Overall, Musk is a fan of critical thinking.
"Just in general, critical thinking is good," he said. "Does the logic connect? What are the range of probably outcomes? You want to figure out what those probabilities are and ideally be the House. It's fine to gamble, as long as you're the House. Also, listen to critical feedback, particularly from friends. Generally they will be thinking it but they won't tell you."

NI Technology Updates Outlooks for Apple, SanDisk, PMC-Sierra, Maxim Integrated Products and Cavium Networks
Jan 28, 2010, 09:53 ET from Indie Research Advisors, LLC
PRINCETON, N.J., Jan. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has updated outlooks for Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), SanDisk (Nasdaq: SNDK), PMC-Sierra (Nasdaq: PMCS), Maxim Integrated Products (Nasdaq: MXIM) and Cavium Networks (Nasdaq: CAVM).
Editor Paul McWilliams has displayed uncanny accuracy in predicting the ebb and flow of the markets during the last 12 months. He not only called the relief rally that started in November 2008 and nailed the March bottom to the day, he also predicted the catalysts that would fuel what has been one of the most significant recovery rallies in NASDAQ history.
In a new special report, "10 Tech Trends for 2010," McWilliams lays out his predictions for 2010 covering important stories from cloud computing to virtualization to data centers and solid state drives. In this extensive report, McWilliams provides an in-depth forecast for a variety of tech sectors and provides specific investment opinions and price targets on leading tech stocks. This valuable report is available for free to trial subscribers.
Long-term Next Inning readers know this is an important report. In his special report published in late 2008, he helped position readers early with big winners like Apple, Blue Coat Systems, Diode Inc., Flextronics, 3Com and Sun Microsystems, noting clearly the latter two were acquisition candidates. Prices for these stocks have since advanced between 135% and 250%.
To get the inside scoop on how McWilliams regularly tops broad market performance, investors have the opportunity to take a free 21-day test drive with Next Inning. With this, you'll receive not only McWilliams' "10 Tech Trends for 2010," but also his highly acclaimed State of Tech reports that will help you position your portfolio for the upcoming January earnings season. With State of Tech you'll get in-depth sector by sector coverage of over 65 leading tech companies and McWilliams' specific guidance as to which stocks he thinks you should own and which you should avoid. To take advantage of this offer and receive these reports for free, please visit the following link:
McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:
-- Now that the Apple iPad has finally been released, how does it match up to McWilliams' predictions about the device? Does the iPad spell the end of e-reader devices like Amazon's Kindle? What questions about the iPad still need to be answered for investors?
-- The price of SanDisk has moved up more than 263% since McWilliams suggested it as a good speculative investment in his December 2008 monthly semiconductor sales report. Now that the stock has hit McWilliams original target price of $30, does he see a further upside or does he think it's best to take profits ahead of the earnings report? Why might SanDisk avoid the typical supply and demand challenges that have hurt memory stocks in the past?
-- On a sector by sector basis, what does McWilliams expect from PMC-Sierra this quarter? Is Wall Street too pessimistic about PMC-Sierra, giving investors an opportunity to get in at a bargain price?
-- Does McWilliams expect Maxim to exceed expectations when it reports its quarterly numbers today? Are there competitive threats to Maxim looming in the longer term? Based on a detailed valuation analysis, what is McWilliams' target price for the stock and how much upside does he expect for Maxim investors?
-- What trends are behind the expectations of continued growth for Cavium? Is Cavium's lofty valuation warranted based on these trends or does McWilliams think investors should consider moving funds to NetLogic?
Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 222% since its inception versus 22% for the S&P 500.
About Next Inning:
Next Inning is a subscription-based investment newsletter that provides regular coverage on more than 150 technology and semiconductor stocks. Subscribers receive intra-day analysis, commentary and recommendations, as well as access to monthly semiconductor sales analysis, regular Special Reports, and the Next Inning model portfolio.

The review posted on my profile was from when I used my English name, Ricky.
· Piano · In home
· Piano ·
Ricky has been teaching my daughter for last 5 years. My daughter is now 15 years old. She already played piano for a couple of years before Ricky started working with her and at that time was getting disinterested. We were looking for someone who would bring that interest and spark back into her playing piano. I was looking for a special teacher who can teach basics of improvisation and accompaniment to a young child. After talking with several potential teachers, we decided to work with Ricky.
Ricky has proven to be an amazing teacher for my daughter. He is patient, creative and able to adjust to the childâs needs. I was amazed when couple of months after my daughter started working with him; she was already improvising and playing really cool pieces of music. That kind of teaching has inspired my daughter to continue playing piano for the last 5 years. She has accompanied two of her friends singing at her school talent shows and graduation ceremony with encouragement and inspiration Ricky has provided her all along.
Ricky frequently encourages my daughter to pick her own songs she would like to work on. Ricky has a strong knowledge of music theory and has incorporated that in his lessons. I love that my daughter is learning music theory, improvisation, accompaniment and reading music all with the same teacher. It is not easy to find a teacher who is so creative to include all of these in his teaching method. I would highly recommend Ricky as a piano teacher for any age.

About Tegan S.Close
Studied most recently with Dr. David Patterson.
The beginning student of Music Theory will be expected to read music, or be swiftly taught to do so. We will explore what all of the notations on a piece of music mean, and the basics of harmony and melody.
The intermediate student of Music Theory will begin working with the rules of functional harmony and explore these via composition and exercises. Ear training will also be incorporated into this lessons. We will analyze and listen to the great classical pieces to understand these principles of functional harmony.
The advanced student of Music Theory will learn when to break from the rules and how to do so coherently. We will touch on Music History to see how past composers have done so, and continue work with composition and analysis.

Length Of Full Size Bed Vs Queen | When choosing a bed, a number of options are available and deciding which one is the correct match for you depends upon just three keys factors.First and foremost, the amount of people using the bed is important determinant of bed size. If the bed is just for a single person then a double or double is normally the best option based on room dimensions. Also if you happen to be on the taller side and require a bed for just one individual then an extra long twin bed might be a better choice. Be warned though, extra long twin sheets can be a more difficult to find compared to other conventional size beds. For people looking for a bed for 2 afterward a queen or king are common options and occasionally a double works as well.
The second crucial element in choosing a bed is how much space you need in the bed. For singles in need of more space a double would be the correct choice. Those desiring less space will be fine with a twin. For couples who like to be close through the night a double will be useful. A queen size bed provides a little more space and finally a king offers lots of space and more. Finally, the dimensions of this room that the bed is going to go in will likely be a factor. Smaller rooms may require smaller beds. For singles that this generally is not a problem since a double or double bed will fit in almost all rooms. For couples, space issues may be more significant. Smaller rooms may expect a couple to utilize a double bed. Just make sure to measure out the space in advance of purchasing a new bed and you should know what will or will not do the job.

I hope that everyone is having a good week, and coping well
with the return of the monotony of everyday life.

Things have still been going fairly well, as I can still do
the things that I enjoy.

Recently, I had used some credit I got for Amazon to buy two
books that had been released before the new year, and one of them have already
been covered.

Today, I will be reviewing the last remaining title, which
is called Love & Lies Volume 3
by Musawo.

As I have given a series synopsis in an earlier
post, I will not go over it again.

Yukari and the others have come back from the camping trip
and things seem to be a bit different, as Misaki is now avoiding Yukari for
reasons he does not realize, and Lilina seems to be having struggles of her
own, as she is still determined to get Yukari and Misaki together.

However, when Yukari receives a government notice about a
special course, things become worse for Yukari when an incident at the course
causes Lilina to avoid him as well, and somebody reveals that he knows the
situation that Yukari is currently in.

With how this series went from being generic to something
that might have a unique vibe and then back to being generic, I was not too
sure that I should really make myself suffer any more, but I did say that I
would check out three volumes of this series, to see if it could impress me.

And after reading this, I can say that it was okay.

From the moment that I opened up this book and started
reading it, I kind of felt like I wanted to keep on reading, though not to the
point where I did not want to put it down for any reason.

While this series does have a big problem of it feeling like
the most generic and clichéd series out there, especially considering that the
first two installments alone made me feel like I was reading through something
that I had read a countless number of times, Musawo has been able to write and
illustrate things in a way that does not completely turn off her audience from
only the first few pages, as she knows when things need to go slow and when
things can go fast.

In a work of fiction, there are many things that can
contribute to how well a reader can become absorbed into a work, such as the
writing style, how it flows, and how well the audience can create images in
their mind, and the way those things can be brought into a work can differ
depending on the genre and medium, but what really helps is when the pacing
needs to be changed from fast to slow or vice versa.

In the case of this volume, it starts off in a way that I
could have become just as engrossed with it as I was back with the previous
volumes, even with their imperfection, but it ends up only being an okay
beginning because I was more of wondering what the aftermath of the events were
of the previous volume than wanting to see a new day, though it ended in a way
that it would have been best to start the next chapter on another day, like the
first chapter of this volume did.

If it had started out the way I would have wanted it to, I
might have been a little happy, but it would still be bothersome because Musawo
and the editors helping her make the series as good and pleasing for her target
audience would have been ignoring how the story was flowing, thus creating yet
another issue nobody should have to deal with when reading a work of fiction,
in addition to being a work that has no feeling of originality, regardless of
whether or not it was truly an original work.

Thankfully, Musawo and everyone involved in bringing this
series to world did not do that, so I can at least give them a passing grade.

Hopefully, things will improve more as the series goes on,
but I most likely will ever know, since the problem that existed in the last
two volumes did not make it so that I would want to explore this series any
further.

I also kind of liked the humor.

While it was once again something that was not unique, when
compared to anime and magna in general, things were still executed well enough
that I was able to get some chuckles out of it.

One of the biggest problems with many works of fiction,
especially those that are published where I live, a country that houses some of
the most well-known writers in the world, though I would not say all of them
deserve the recognition that they get, is that they do not really have a lively
atmosphere or characters that seem to be interesting, and this prevents many
readers from actually being able to enjoy the work, as the readers read in order
to have a fun time.

However, in this series, a series that has been plagued with
the feeling of being unoriginal, the one thing that I could really look forward
is being able to get a good chuckle out of it, and those moments do help to
give this series some sort of lively atmosphere, as well as make for
interesting moments to see play out.

If these moments were not present in this volume, I would
have been severely disappointed and truly regretted reading this volume, and
much more so than I did when I noticed how this series once again had that
feeling of being generic and cliché that it did when it first started.

Fortunately, Musawo did not forget that, which makes me feel
like giving her a good round of applause for once.

Hopefully, the humor will continue making it possible for
fans of the series to continue enjoying it, but seeing as how the series has a
vibe of being something that has been done so many times before, I suspect that
it will not be long before even the humor becomes lackluster.

The thing that I liked most though was how it showed how
things can be so complicated.

One of the biggest problems I have with anime and manga,
especially series that have a heavy focus upon romance, is how characters seem
to have no problem helping their friends hook up with they one they like, and,
in many cases, they get over it relatively quickly, if we even get a clue that
the character does have feelings for the person they are helping.

Yes, this is not a problem all anime or all
mange have, since we get to see a few times that characters are struggling not
to give into their selfish desires, but they still are not great because that
is where things end, and makes it seem like we are rational creatures who can
easily accept that our strong feelings towards somebody are not reciprocated or
be able to accept how we really feel about people, which makes it hard for the
reader to be able to sympathize, unless they put themselves in the shoes of
that character in the same way that parents try to make their child not be so
selfish, which is flawed because one would be seeing themselves as they are now,
instead of really understanding the character.

Here, however, with the exception of Nisaka, who remains
mysterious, I felt like I could understand what each character was going
through, at least some of the time.

Seeing as this a romance series where there is a kind of
conflict between wanting to be with the person one likes and marrying somebody
that one is expected to marry, there is some complications that come up, and if
the reactions, thoughts, and/or dreams of the characters were not presented,
things would not seem to be very believable or enjoyable, because the reader
would not be getting the same experience as the characters and would have made
this series terrible enough to not even bring out one of the biggest benefits
fiction has over other kinds of written works of television shows or movies,
which is a way to really be able to learn about how humans work
psychologically, as well as to be able to see things from different
perspectives.

Thankfully, Musawo remembered that arranged marriages were
the biggest obstacle for the characters to truly become happy, and decided to
cover how feelings and wanting to do the right thing could complicate things,
which makes me want to give her another good round applause.

Hopefully, this aspect of the series does not disappear
entirely, because it is one of the best ways to give a romance series what it
needs, though it will not guarantee that it will have what every work of fiction
needs to be considered good.

Outside of those things, I cannot think of anything else
that I particularly liked, at least that stood out as much as what I talked
about and could not be shoehorned into those very same things that were nice
about the book.

Because my attention was capture really quickly, though not
as well as past installment, the humor did not start to feel as generic as the
series has been feeling ever since the first two volumes, as I was able to get
some chuckles, and that the characters are having troubles sorting their
feelings, which I felt like I could sympathize with, this was a fairly decent
read.

Although I liked a few things about this book, there are
some issues.

However, aside from things that are too minor to talk about,
such as typos, and a problem that are reared its head in the first two volumes,
there was only one thing that bothered me.

Things were rather predictable.

Even though it is possible for things to be predictable, yet
still enjoyable, though most people associate being predictable as a negative
rather than a positive, readers want to be surprised and say that they never
saw something coming, whether it is because the series it took a turn nobody
saw coming or that scenario was so obvious or likely that they did not think it
would happen, which is something that is likely to occur in the detective,
mystery, crime, and thriller genres of fiction, because that helps a work give
a reader the impression that a work is different from everything else out.

Unfortunately, in the case of this volume, predictable is
more on the negative side of things, because of the fact that this series has
already been established as a series that is just more of the same, even with
an arranged marriage situation that has a basis in science, in the first two
volumes, which should be giving readers a reason to follow the creator's work.

From the way things were set up, I already had a good idea
that Yukari would end up with Masaki and that there would be problems, with how
well Yukari and Lilina got along from the moment they first talked, but those
were at a level of predictability that I could somewhat live with, as this is
considered a romance and I never really expected it to get any worse in this
area, though I should have with lack of feeling that this was any different
from other series.

However, it did manage to get worse, by having somebody
suddenly coming onto the scene that knows Yukari has feelings for somebody
other than Lilies, his assigned partner.

Seeing as there are arranged marriages decided by the
government, it would make sense that there are people in the agency that would
know who each child is infatuated with, but anybody could seeing this happening
and how the guy seems to influence Yukari to do what he did during the special
course could also be seen from a mile away, since it has been stated that these
arranged marriages came about to stop the declining birth rates.

Really, Musawo? Is this how to do a great romance?

Fans of romance works might not be as bothered by
predictability as fans of detective, mystery, and crime fiction, as they tend
to read to experience the thrill of romantic moments, which means who the how
romance plays out it more important than what is obvious, but I think that even
they would be annoyed if things went as predicted way too often, because that
would make every relationship seem like it is the same for everyone, when each
relationship is as different as each individual, with the main thing in common
being how the two get to be so close.

Still, I wish that things did not happen as I expected, and
now that things have become predictable, I am even less inclined to give this
series any more attention than I already have.

Maybe, things will improve later on in the series and that
light that fans of the series see, and I wanted to see from the very beginning,
may finally make itself known, but I am done with this series, as none of us
have enough time on this planet to give all works of fiction enough time to
become good.

Thankfully, this was the only thing that really bothered me,
so I do not have to rip into the series any further.

While there was only one issue, and it was not as bad as the
one that presented itself in the previous two installments, it was still bad
enough to make it so that I could not enjoy things as much as I wish I could
have.

Despite the fact that there was more to like than hate, the
fact that only a few positives earned some applause and things that mattered
were either okay and the negative turned me off of the series made this only
good enough to kill time.

I mainly recommend this to fans of Love & Lies,
as they will like this the most.

As for everyone else, you are still free to check this out,
but I doubt it will amaze you, due to how the series became a bit predictable,
so I suggest avoiding this series like the plague instead.

Book Review: Love & Lies Volume 2brycehttp://blog.brycecampbell.metag:192.168.0.39,2018:book-review-love-lies-volume-2/15225594852018-04-01T05:11:25+00:002018-04-01T05:11:25+00:002018-01-08T08:00:00+00:00

I hope that everyone is doing well, and had a nice time
celebrating the beginning of a new year.

Things have been going fairly well, especially after finding
out that Amazon finally killed off one of its biggest mistakes, and I can still
do the things that I enjoy.

Back during the end of 2017, I got some Amazon credit and I
used it to get two titles.

Today, I will be reviewing one of those two titles from,
which is called Love & Lies Volume
2 by Musawo.

As I have given a series synopsis in an earlier
post, I will not go over it again.

Things are starting to get complicated for Yukari, as the
ministry comes to check up on him and Lilina, and Yukari himself gets nervous
with certain conversations.

However, when Yukari, Lilina, and Misaka go on a camping
trip with Yukari's and Lilina's parents, things start getting more complicated
and Lilina is reminded that things might not end happily.

While the first volume was pretty impressive, though it did
have a clichéd vibe towards the beginning, that does not mean that the series
will remain good all the way through.

And after reading this, I can say that I kind of liked it,
though not as much as the first volume.

Just like with the previous volume, from the moment that I
started reading the first few pages, I found myself so engrossed in the work
that I did not want to put it down for any reason.

For any kind of work out there, a reader needs to be pulled
into a work enough that they lose track of everything for a short moment that
work would take to read, and, depending on the kind of work being presented,
there are many ways to do this, though the usual is just by making things move
along slowly, yet still seem interesting.

In the case of manga, as it is usually a serialized medium,
this is done by picking up where things were left.

Back in the previous volume, Nisaka spotted Yukari kissing
Misaki and both he and Yukari expressed interest in talking with the other,
which made me wonder what exactly would happen, and this volume's first chapter
opens up right with Nisaka and Yukari talking to each other.

As much as I would want to praise Musawo for starting things
off quite well though, seeing as she does the writing and art work, the real
credit goes to Kodansha's Japanese branch, or whoever they had compile these
chapters into volumes, as they knew how to start a manga volume off on the
right foot.

If the volume had not started right where the last one left
off, I would have been a little disappointed, because that would have made a
relatively decent cliffhanger into nothing more than something that did not
make too much sense, though it could have just left the conversation to a
flashback moment and been okay.

Fortunately, the people who compiled the chapters that made
this volume did not do that, and at least made it easy to get back into the
work.

Hopefully, this will continue on for the rest of the series,
as it will be able to keep things interesting, though it would take quite a bit
of time for me to forget how this series began in a way that did not give off
that feeling of being unique.

I also liked how I was able to chuckle a few times while
reading this book.

Even though the humor was not really that unique, in
comparison to anime and manga in general, things were still executed well
enough that I was still able to get some sort of a laugh.

One of the things that I really liked about this series was
that even though it started off in a way that almost made me want to forget
about this series after one volume because it did not give off that vibe of
being unique that every story needs to have, regardless of whether it is truly
original or not, the humor still made things enjoyable enough that the world of
the series felt more lively, and Musawo was still able to deliver in this
series quite well.

If the humor had been left out entirely, I would have been
really disappointed, as the only reason to keep following the plot, which is
not really that different from any other series that makes one wonder if the
characters that are head over heels for each other would in fact get together,
leading to a dating setup that is about as boring as the one in The
Whistler from John Grisham, which would make me want to drop this
series almost as quickly as Girls' Last Tour's first volume made me want
to forget about that series.

Thankfully, the humor was still present, and that was able
save this volume just enough for me to not get bored just yet, which makes me
want to give Musawo a little applause.

Hopefully, the humors remains good throughout the series
run, but I do not doubt that the humor will become tiresome really quickly,
seeing as this series has already showed quite a few flaws in the first volume,
so the next volume may be the last of this series I read.

The thing that I liked the most though was how Lilina
started to react more about what Misaki and Yukari do.

Back in the previous volume, she claimed that she was
incapable of falling in love and tried to Yukari and Misaki to be closer and
Misaki warned that it could backfire on her, but she did not seem to care too
much.

While Lilina did not say anything like "get away from my
man!" in this volume, she did seem to show signs that she indeed has some
feelings for Yukari, like her wondering how she should take Yukari's honesty
about kissing Misaki, and with the explanation of how couples are matched up
under the Yukari law that was revealed in this volume, it does make sense that
it would be happening.

In a series like this, there does need to be some kind of conflict,
other than the one preventing Yukari from being with the girl he has feelings
for, and this occurrence suggests that there might be some conflict that will
crop up and Lilina might start to take a stand, knowing what would happen if
Yukari did not choose her, in order to be sure he can pursue his dream, but I
kind of doubt it, seeing as what data I could gather about what happens later
on in the series does not fall in place with such a scenario.

If things like this did not occur, I would have been really
disappointed, because it would have seemed to be unrealistic and unbelievable,
and it would have given me even more reason to consider dropping the series,
because works in the romance genre still need to be works that the audience
would find believable.

Fortunately, Musawo remembered that this was a work of
romance and started to show that Lilina's efforts might just end up hurting
her, and that makes me want to give Musawo some more applause, though still not
quite as much as I would have liked to see.

Hopefully, things will improve in this area as the series
progresses, but this could very well be the Attack
on Titan of romance, so it could be very much possible that Musawo will
either forget once again that this is a romance or do so much damage to the
series that it would not be worth following.

Outside of those things, I cannot think of anything else
that I particularly liked, at least that could not be shoehorned into what I
already talked about.

Because my interest was captured quickly and held right up
to the end, by picking up where the last volume left off, there were some
things to chuckle about, and Lilina reacting differently than what she claimed
back in the beginning of the series, this was a fairly decent read.

Although I liked the book, there are some issues.

However, aside from things that are too minor to talk about,
such as typos, only one thing really bothered me.

There is no unique vibe to be found.

Now, many people might be saying that it is hard to come up
with anything truly original, but, as I have said numerous times, even once
already in this review, a work of fiction can still give off that vibe of it
being different from everything else, and if a work does not give a reader the
feeling that what they are really is going to be different, they are not going
to enjoy themselves one bit.

In the case of this series, Musawo has been having
difficulties creating that vibe, by having the very first chapter of the series
start off like so many other series, in which the protagonist that we are
introduced to has a crush on somebody and wants to be with, and when I saw a
character claim that they would never get married, I thought that things would
turn around.

However, in this volume, things go back to giving me a
feeling that all of this has been done before and that Yukari and Misaki will eventually
end up together, even if that might not be the ending that Musawo has in mind
for this series.

Really, Musawo? Is this how a proper romance, let aloe a
work of fiction, is supposed to play out?

There are many works of fiction and many genres that those
works are classified under, but many of the greatest works of fiction out there
were great because they delivered things in such a way that even people who are
not technically the target audience can enjoy themselves, and they each have
something that makes that work seem like it is an entirely new work.

Unfortunately for this series, this is the second time in a
row that I got this feeling that I feel like I have read something like this a countless
number of times before.

The second volume is supposed to give readers even more
reason to continue following a series than the first did and try to start
making this series come into its own by fleshing things out a bit more, but
most of those chapters did not do that, or at least do it in a way that I am
actually interested in what is going on.

This could very well be a weakest of the romance genre, just
like how there is very little one could do with zombies, but, in my time spent
reading numerous works, whether something has the unique and/or interesting
feel that it needs or not is entirely dependent on how the creator writes
things, so it would not make sense that any one genre has weaknesses, as
opposed to the writer's capabilities being what keeps it from being good.

Still, a series or other work of fiction does need to make
the readers think that it is unique, and Musawo completely and utterly failed.

Hopefully, things will improve in the next volume, because I
really wanted to like this series, but I would not be surprised if things get
worse, since I decided to only give this series three volumes to impress me.

Thankfully, nothing else really bothered me, so I can leave
this series with something left to stand on, instead of burying it further into
ground.

While there was only one thing wrong with this book, the
issue that presented itself was one of the more major problems a fictional work
can have and that this was the second time in a row it cropped up, it really
hurts the quality of the book itself.

Despite the fact that there were a few things to like, the only
issue to be found makes things bad enough that this was only good enough to
kill time.

I recommend this mainnly to fans of Love & Lies,
as they will be able to like this the most.

As for everyone, you are free to read this book if you want,
but the lack of a feeling of uniqueness might be very off putting, so I would
suggest avoiding the series altogether instead.

Book Review: Love & Lies Volume 1brycehttp://blog.brycecampbell.metag:192.168.0.39,2018:book-review-love-lies-volume-1/15225594852018-04-01T05:11:25+00:002018-04-01T05:11:25+00:002017-11-27T08:00:00+00:00

I hope that everyone is having a good day today, regardless
of whether you are dealing with the usual monotony or looking for a good deal.

Things have been going fairly well, though it seems like I
will have a busy week, and I can still do what I enjoy.

Recently, I received some credit for Amazon and I used it to
get a few books, one of which was a preorder for a title coming next year, and
I already covered one of the two titles I have from that order.

Today, I will be reviewing the other book, which is called Love & Lies Volume 1 by Musawo.

Yukari Nejima is just an ordinary high school, who does not
stand out as much as the popular kids, with a crush on a classmate that he
might not be able to be with because of a law that assigns people a fianc'e
when they reach age 16, and, after confessing his feelings, he is notified of
who is future wife will be.

However, when he finally meets the person he is supposed to
marry, who attends an all-girls school, he finds out that she too is not so
happy with how things are and she starts goading Yukari into following his
heart, so she can learn about love.

When I first heard about this series, I thought that I would
be in for another typical star crossed lovers for of some kind, and thought I
would probably pass it up, just like I should have ignored Girls' Last Tour,
but knowing that true originality is hard to come by, I decided to give this a
shot.

And after reading this book, I have to say that I really
enjoyed it.

From the moment that I started reading the first few pages,
I was so engrossed in it that I did not what to put it down for any reason,
though I do have to satisfy the needs same as everyone else.

While the first chapter starts off like a typical romance
series, in that the protagonist reveals his or her infatuation with another
character, who we believe will eventually get together towards the end, and
that the conflicts that arise would be how they bond, things actually went in a
bit of a different direction almost right off the bat.

After Yukari asks rhetorically what it means to like
somebody, which is just more of what one would expect to see in a typical romance,
especially one focusing on teen romance, somebody comes in and says that they
are thinking about falling in love, but they will not marry with almost as much
passion as somebody that wants to marry the one they love.

Usually, in a romance series, every character wants to
either get into a serious relationship and end up marrying that person, or just
go about things like usual, so I was almost kind of ready to set this series
aside, because it neither did things differently nor, most important of all,
give of the feeling of being unique, as I already had it in my mind that the
main character would get the girl he wanted.

However, when the mood of being in love was broken by
somebody saying that they would never marry, I was really taken aback and
wondered what exactly was going on, even though the official does mention what
the world in this series like, in that marriage is not based upon love, but
upon who the government says you should marry.

A big problem with anime and manga today is that many of the
new series coming have that feeling of just going with the flow and lack the
fun, intrigue, or feeling of uniqueness that drew my generation to it, much
like Hollywood only cares about putting out movies with more eye candy than
story, are sequels to movies that came before, or remakes of something that was
enjoyed before.

Yes, the anime studios and manga publisher are doing what is
good for them, as they still need money to stay afloat, and not all anime and
manga published today has that feeling of being generic, but that does not
change the fact that they are making themselves more fragile by being safe and
they will eventually lose patrons because all they deliver is just the same as
before, instead of taking necessary risks.

If Musawo had really had things flow exactly like every
other romance story out there, I would have been very angry because I would
have had the same feeling that I had gotten Girls' Last Tour, which felt
more like yet another slice of life series than an amazing work, and I cannot
continue to waste my time on things that lack even the feeling of originality.

Fortunately, Musawo did not do that because what she did
does have some feeling that actual work had been put into this to make it be
able to stand out a bit from the crowd, which gives me reason to give her a big
round of applause.

Hopefully, this series continues to have that feeling of
being just another romance series, because I doubt that the fans of the series,
or even fans of the romance genre, would want to see something that started off
so well turn into something generic.

Then again, this seems to be Musawo's first attempt at a
romance series, as far as I can tell, so she might have just gotten lucky at
delivering such a good start, so I would not be surprised if things start going
downhill, as she is still human, just like the rest of us.

I also liked how I was able to get quite a few laughs from
this book.

While it did not seem to be entirely unique, when compared
with other anime and general, Musawo executed the comedic moments well enough
that they seemed genuine funny, from the usual hesitation of confessing one's
feelings to the things that were a little surprising to see.

The funniest of which, other than the way this series
started out, was when Yukari met the person the government said he would marry.

After finding out who he would be partnered up with,
Yukari's parents arrange a meeting with the girl and her parents and they do
not seem to get along too well, but then the two of them go off, at different
times, and they start talking about what love is like and Lilina, the person
betrothed to Yukari, asking Yukari about the girl he liked and even has them each
other kiss in front of her, after she meets the girl he talked about, claiming
that she would not bat an eye, yet she gets flustered about the kiss and even
about what the girl of Yukari's dreams liked about him so much, as she did
reciprocate his feelings before Yukari got his notice.

I may not know what every girl is like out there in the
world, though I have formed friendships with many women over the course of my
life, but the ones that I have met over the course of my life want boys to be a
loyal to them as I would want them to be with me, regardless of whether it was
arranged or not, and seeing a girl in this series that is engaged to the
protagonist push him into pursuing a different girl, in order to learn about
love, instead of going through it herself was actually more funny to see than
if she had beaten up Yukari for being unfaithful.

This series is supposed to two people that have feelings for
each other, but cannot be due to the law, which puts people together who may
not in fact love each other, and if Musawo had Lilina be more law abiding, this
series would have probably turned into a love triangle, instead of doing
something that I really liked, and the comedy really would not have stood out
as much, even though I would not really call it that unique, or it would have
no potential to be anything other than generic.

Thankfully, Musawo did not do that, and it ended up allowing
this series to stand out enough that I was actually happy to have given this
series a chance.

Hopefully, the comedy continues to stay as good as it was
here, because I would rather have comedy that feel refreshing, even if it was
not unique, than have comedic moments that were generic in every sense of the
word, and I doubt that I am the only one that feels this way.

The thing that I liked the most though was how it showed
that arranged marriages might not be so great.

Over the course of my life, I have had many elders beat into
my peers and I that marriage is the key to happiness and have tried to hook
people up, when all they do is separate us out into groups to prevent that from
happening, and while many of my elders would probably be happy if everyone got
married, which would mean arranged marriages would have to be universal, they
forget the pains of their own marriages, or even the pain a person would go
through if they were married, as marriage is not meant for everyone.

Now, I will admit that there may be plenty of people that
are happy with their spouse that they got together with through arranged
marriage, but, for some reason, it does not feel right to be, in the case of
this series, forced to marry somebody that you have hardly any feelings for,
because the only way that a bond would be able to established is if the two
were in a situation in which they would have to rely on one another and, in
cases where one person is hard to compromise with, such as people like me, the
one that would be compromising the most would be somebody that may be in the
right, but cannot breakthrough to the person that is so set in their reasoning,
whereas people who have a bond from the beginning would not have just as many
problems and are likely to work together.

In the case of this series, when Yukari and Lilina meet,
Lilina notices that Yukari really is not even giving her the time of day, and
they eventually say that they would rather be with the one they love than who
the government says they should be with, even going so far as to both wondering
what love is exactly, and not being interested in marrying the other.

Seeing these events play out, it reminded me of how my
elders and peers do not realize that I would not be happy in marriage because
there is a high possibility that I would have as much of a hard time accepting
myself because my flaws would be a problem for whoever marries because my
standards are not the standards of my elders or the standards of my church, and
it would make me forget the truth about us as humans, which is that we are
perfect in spite of our imperfection, even more so if it was arranged, as the
compatibility between the personalities and how the two work on a cognitive
level might not be that great.

The arrangement between Yukari and Lilina might work out, as
they do seem to be compatible, but something more than just my limited understanding
of the characters and the story itself screams that this is not right simply
because having people that do not like each other getting married is like
trying to force somebody to become somebody they are not, which would be akin
to telling a loving and omniscient god that he or she made a mistake in
creating that person, which Pastor Rick said in a devotional
about accepting ourselves that can be found on his
website would be the same as rejecting that god that we consider perfect,
and I would just call things off the moment that I detected the discrepancy.

Because of this, it makes me glad that I live in a country
where I can choose to marry whoever I want and whenever I want, as it allows
the individual to be themselves and find happiness, which will in turn give
them some motivation to help others, and it also makes me want to see what kind
of struggles the characters in this series will go through, in order to find
what makes them happy.

If the issues of arranged marriage never arose, I think I
would have been very disappointed, as arranged marriage is what create the
conflict that the characters are having, and teens are supposed to rebel, in
order to learn what they need to learn, and by getting rid of that, things
would not seem to be very believable.

Fortunately, the possible issues of arranged marriage did
crop up, which means that Musawo still remembered what the premise of series
was all about, and that deserves quite a bit of praise in itself.

Outside of those things, I cannot think of anything else
that I particularly liked, at least that could not be added into what I already
talked about.

Because my interest was captured quickly, by surprising me
with a beginning that is not too usual for romance series, and held it all the
why to the end, there were things to laugh about that were a little different
from the norm, and that the fact that some issues with arranged marriage arose
made me thankful to be in the country where I live, this was a fairly decent
read.

Although I liked the book, there are some issues.

However, aside from things that are too minor to talk about,
such as typos, nothing really bothered me too much.

As a result, I will have to say that there was nothing worth
mentioning.

Considering that there was quite a bit to like, especially
how it did not start in the same typical fashion as other romance anime or
manga, and not toomuch to hate, this was definitely worth reading.

I recommend this to fans of romance anime and manga, as they
will be able to enjoy how this series does not start out exactly like every
other series, though there are still likely to be some annoyances.

As for everyone else, this might be worth giving a try,
though the first few panels might be very off putting, since it gives the
impression that this will go like every other romance series out there.
