Rokuhodo Yotsuiro Biyori (Japanese Drama); 鹿楓堂よついろ日和; Rokuhodo Colorful days

           I have been watching this Japanese drama entitled Rokuhodo Yotsuiro Biyori, also known as Rokuhodo. This Jdrama is based on a Japanese manga. It is about four young male adults who runs a Japanese cafe. Sui is the tea expert and the manager of the cafe, Tokitaka is the chef, Tsubaki the pastry chef and Gure is the barista. Along with their pet cat, named Kinako. 

This is a very refreshing Jdrama. I like the simple storyline. No heavy plot, just a regular day to day depiction of life, and not so heavy family issues. The actors in this drama are all good-looking. Gure is the most handsome of all in my opinion, and he has a good body built just like in the manga story and Sui is like your cute next door charming neighbor. 

Aside from the storyline, since this is about a Japanese cafe, the way the food is presented was really good. From the parfait to omurice. Makes me want to try every food that was shown in the in the drama. If you haven't watched this you can catch it on Netflix Philippines. You will surely enjoy watching. This Jdrama series gives good vibes.

Detective Conan Live Action Movie

           I just finished watching this Detective Conan action movie today, entitled "Kudo Shinichi's Written Challenge." The actor who played Shinichi Kudo is Shun Oguri, and the actress who played Ran is Tomoka Kurokawa. I prefer the actress who played Ran in the series than this actress in the movie version. She looks much older for a high school student role.

The story setting took place when Shinichi is still in his normal self, meaning he was not yet made to drink the pill that would make him a kid. This scenario is before that. I really appreciate the live action adaptation of this anime. I became familiar with the characters including Inspector Megure. I don't like the character of the father of Ran. 

The story or plot in this movie. Shinichi receives a challenge letter telling him one of their classmates will be kidnapped. So its up to Shinichi to stop or not let this abduction happen. I really enjoyed watching this movie. No spoilers here. If you enjoyed the anime, you will also enjoy the live action movies.

Detective Conan

           I'm back! After 6 years I'm posting again. It is my "theme" time once again. Before getting pregnant I am into Agatha Christie novels. I even bought a classic costume with a summer hat, and posing for a photo with a few of her books. After that when I became pregnant with baby Ysabella, I was fond of painting and doing art. After being fascinated with India's culture and food. I am coming back again to Japanese culture. I suddenly became interested with mystery novels again, with the likes of suspense, mystery and thriller author, Mary Higgins Clark, Patricia Cornwell and of course the anime and live action of Detective Conan. When I was a kid I love reading and solving mysteries even if I often failed to solve it. I remember I have this book entitled, 2 Minute Mysteries.

This week was hard for us because our nanny got sick and was infected with Covid-19, also our family and our baby Ysabella. Thank God she is out of the woods. Anyway to all of you anime lovers out there I am sure you are very familiar with this popular anime. It is about a high-school student who is good with his deductive skills that he is able to solve crimes, his name is Shinichi Kudo, also known as Conan Edogawa. This is the name that he adopted when he became a little boy because of the pills that he swallowed from criminals he met at Tropical Island.

I am such a fan now of this anime. I even ordered an action figure which I put on top of my office printer. The live action movie and series, together with the anime has made me sane and busy this isolation period of ours. I also bought Sherlock cap and trench coat, with Detective Conan items ranging from id lace, notebook, plush toy, cellphone case, keychain, ballpen and couple action figure of Sinichi and Ran. I also bought a notebook, mug and other Detective Conan items. 

(P.S. Today, our baby turned 11 months old!)
