Shoujo Manga: Nanoka No Kare

Ya, OK maaf bahasa inggrisnya kacau, semoga kalau ada yang baca ga keberatan.. 

It's been a long time since I read the last manga, I don't even remember what I read last time either. 

I was thinking I'm already adult, so I don't really attached to manga for the last few years. Losing temptation for reading it. Then pandemic came to this world, trying to be busy since I got no job. Kind of sad. But why don't I try to get adventurous while being at home? 

Today I just finished a manga called "Nanoka No Kare" or some other says "Nano Hana No Kare"

and I just realized what manga means to me. I think I'm able to feel happy, sad, exciting, and various kind of feeling since my life kind of boring. I don't say I'm unhappy, just my life has become more colorful. 

The sad thing is, all of the character is not real, all those cool guys and cute girls T_T

First of all, I can say this manga is over exaggerating, non sense, unrealistic, stupid for some people, so if you already read it and you don't like please just read until here :)

 

Back to the manga, I don't know if it's a review or synopsis, just beware of spoilers!

Author: Tekkotsu Saro

Artist: Toumori Miyoshi

So the story is about a high school girl, Nanoka Ayase who had no boyfriend since her two other friends is talking much about their relationship. Nanoka had a terrible memories from the last relationship when she was in middle school. 

He had a boyfriend, Takato Uesugi, a handsome and  popular but has a strange aura and unreachable, so he doesn't have much friends. Takato like Nanoka a lot. Once he confessed and they going out. The reason she accept his feeling is because Takato is the first guy who ask her, and hoping someday she will love him back by the time. In that relationship, Nanoka is trying to be a good girlfriend, but in her eyes she always making Takato mad all the time. She thinks that she made him feels irritated. It's made her sad. After in a coincidence Nanoka found out that Takato was talking behind her back, she was trying to avoid Takato until they graduated and get in to the different high school. And that's how it ends.

One day Nanoka is sitting in a cafe, and she heard there was a couple break up right behind her. She heard that the guy was so gently and calm facing the girl, he even says to his friend that he got dumped but it wasn't. She never got that treatment from her boyfriend in the past. Nanoka just think what a nice guy, and maybe it would be her preferences of her boyfriend in the future. He noticing his name is Hayaka (lately known as Hayata Kiriyama).

As a shoujo manga should be. IN A COINCIDENCE, Nanoka met again with Hayata, and right after he passed her, she just turn around and ask, "Do you want to go out with me?"

His friend is just so noisy to talk how cute Nanoka is, and force to accept her confessions. But wisely Hayata said he just break up recently and don't want to get in to a relationship yet. Nanoka understand it but still ask him to keep her contact. 

By the time, they realized that they want to know more about each other.

One day Nanoka is being trapped and harassed by her friend's boyfriend. Suddenly there is Takato trying to help her from that bastard. Nanoka truly thanked for Takato, but her terrible memories with Takato seems bothering her, so she immediately leave. Before she leaves, Takato forcefully kiss her on the lips. Nanoka is angry and scared, then run away. 

For Takato, their relationship was never ending with Nanoka. They never end their relationship, there was no break up. He only sees Nanoka. He wanted to start again. 

So he kissed Nanoka, just want to tied her, he was hoping it would be the beginning. 

After a while, Nanoka decide to meeting Takato, she just want to make it clear that they already break up, and she wanted to move on. 

In the cafe, Nanoka is not being the old her who always scared and runaway. Takato a bit surprised, she talks bravely and said that their relationship was only a sad memories. She told him how she was always the one who tried to build conversations. She took all Takato's harsh, and always feel a bad thing as her faults. But now she finds somebody else who makes her bravely saying like this and he is totally the opposite of him. 

Takato surprised and just realized that his relationship memories was totally different on Nanoka's perception. He always mad because he didn't know what to say and overthinking about what he must do, end up saying bad things to Nanoka, he also want to look cool in front of her. He never realized that Nanoka's silence was because she scared him to be mad. He never saw Nanoka wanted to ask anything and this is the first time he saw Nanoka wanted something and say it clearly. She wanted it to be over. He become totally quiet facing the truth Nanoka said, he even thought maybe he could start over again with Nanoka, he wasn't ready to hear all of that. 

In the end, Takato still trying to get Nanoka. He couldn't think no more except the way he threatened her by their kiss the other day. But Nanoka still leaving and say its over.

Nanoka never want Hayata to know it, cause it's just only make him sad or worries. Then they continues to getting along together happily while observe their true feeling for each other.  

Nanoka didn't know that Takato always had his eyes for her, to protect her. (Well it is not stalking or something creepy, still Takato is creepy tough).

You really have to read it by yourself. It has 84 chapter.

Warning Spoiler!

This manga is making me feel frustrated. It's really complicated, I can't really choose between two of them. They both deserved happiness in the end of the story. After finish my last chapter, I can't choose to play love song or sad song. It's November now and the sky is soooo dark, like understand what I'm feeling. 

I just realized that Nanoka is making the condition messed up, almost all the time, that's made a lot of fans out there a little mad for Nanako. Everyone has their fault of course. The first Nanako's fault that the reason she accept his feeling is JUST because Takato is the first guy who ask her, and hoping someday she will love him back by the time. 

Hayata is planning to move to US and continued his studied there, and he promise always keep contact with Nanoka and remembering all of their time together. Well Hayata has always been sweet to Nanoka. And Nanoka wanted to promise to waiting for him. (I'm not so sure since there's a lot can be happen in years, remembering there's still Takato)

In the middle of the story the was a new antagonist who will ruined up everything, ruined that the three main character's life. And made Nanako loss her half memories. What I don't like is that Hayata is leaving Nanako to US (well its already planned though), since she can't remember who he is. Her friend was always told that she loved Hayata so much but she couldn't remember at all. So they giving up and letting Nanako happy by it's own.

 And here is Takato facing Nanako with her problems, it's always Takato who stand by her side at the beginning. For the last 2 years next Takato getting close to Nanako and thank God he did experiencing to become Nanako's real boyfriend, they laugh, hug, and kiss.

At this point, Takato didn't feel right. He think that he should won Nanako's heart without being cowardly. He got his second chance after Nanako loss her memories. Until one day Hayata back to Japan and COINCIDENCE met with Nanako. She doesn't remember, but she knew it was Hayata the one that her friends always talked about. Well they chat a while and letting go, wishing happiness for each other. Bla bla bla.. Nanako's memories back while in the other side Hayata is realizing too that he couldn't let her go, she was precious to him. Thanks to Takako taking care of Nanako for the last two years T_T 

I think I'm on Takato's side. At least I'm hoping that Takato in the end finally meeting someone new that makes him laugh and see the world differently. Because Takato is the one who always watching Nanoka from the start even her heart was never belong to him. Well there's a time when Takato is happily with Nanoka, I feel happy reading that scene. Some other side, Takato is such a toxic guy but transformed perfectly at the end of manga. He let go Nanako while taking hurt inside his heart. I'm inserting the heartbreaking picture of him below T_T

I think if Nanoka choose Hayata, that just a normal story and I think if it's a real life, everyone would choose Hayata. He's more warm and easy to going with. But Takato is in a different level in loving, his love is sooooooo warm he would never let anything hurt Nanoka. He just can't understand how peoples is showing their love. At the end of the story I can see how Takato is growing and become wise, I think that he changed because of Nanoka. He is more calming and loving, and he let Nanoka go because of his heart, not because he lose from Hayata. 

Sometimes I feel like Hayata can become more dangerous to Nanoka (Sorry for Hayata's fans). He even feel like rushed to Nanoka and doesn't really observed her. Takato was always observed Nanoka, and he also helped Nanoka's friendship, remember when Nanoka being bullied by all of the student, Takato was always protecting.

But still Takato did a scary things too to her, that makes me believe he may hurt Nanoka again.

Moral of the story:

You can't turn back time, it is no use to say, "If I just did bla bla bla might be It should'nt have to be like this". So if you are struggling for something now, please do your best, if you lose or failed then you won't be regret that much, you did your best. 

If you wanted to say, just say it, you might fix something like relationship, you might prevent someone from broken heart, you might find your true love.

If you hurt from your past, it's okay to move on, someone is waiting for you. Always have a dream, chase it. 

Nganter Tuan Putri Berobat ke Buana Vet

Halo, 

Kali ini aku mau cerita pengalaman aku menangani kucing yang kena flu 'lumayan' berat sekalian review salah satu tempat berobat anak-anakku ini yaitu BUANA VET.

Buana Vet merupakan toko perlengkapan kebutuhan hewan peliharaan yang juga menyediakan jasa grooming, dan dokter hewan.

Berlokasi di Ruko Galaxy, Jl. Raya Tajur No.59C, Tajur, Bogor Timur Telp. (0251) 8402856.

Setahu aku, Buana Vet ini buka setiap hari dari jam 08.00-17.00. Waktu aku pertama kali mau kesana, aku telepon dulu ngecek dokter, dan mereka langsung konfirmasi kalau dokternya ada dan siap nerima 'pasien'. Ohya, dokternya ini ganti-ganti, jadi kalau kalian mau datang lagi ke Buana Vet dan udah cocok sama satu dokter, bisa tanya dulu. Kalaupun mau cari barang tertentu, kalian juga bisa nelfon untuk konfirmasi ketersediaan barang, mereka mau kok ngecekin buat kita. Kalau dari pengalaman aku nelfon dan ngelihat mereka waktu nungguin disana sih responnya cepet banget, tapi kalau lagi rame, tolong dimaklumin aja. 

Nah, balik lagi nih ke masalah kucing, jadi saat ini aku ada 2 kucing, nama Koji (betina, 6 tahun) dan Kochil (betina, 15+ tahun). Waktu datang Koji (kita adopsi dari teman), Kochil ini gak suka dan gak akrab sampe sekarang, jadi mereka hidup dengan kesibukan dan kebahagiaan masing-masing XD

Eits, keterangan kalau mereka 'bermusuhan' ini cukup penting karena yang pertama tertular flu dari kucing liar itu si Koji, dan Kochil ketularan dari Koji dalam waktu kurang dari 24 jam. Kebayang kan meski mereka saling berjauhan tapi penyakitnya menyebar melalui udara dengan sangat cepat.  

Disini aku bukan sebagai owner nanny yang rutin atau sering bawa peliharaan untuk cek kesehatan, vaksin, atau apapun itu. Aku cuma manusia berduit pas-pasan yang masih belajar mengurus kucing dan berusaha maksimal kasih yang terbaik.  

Salah sih, kalau cuma bawa kucing ke dokter saat mereka sakit aja, tapi balik lagi kita juga ga bisa memaksakan kemampuan, yang penting 5 aspek kesejahteraan hewan bisa kita penuhi.

Selain bersin dan mengeluarkan lendir dari hidung, beberapa ciri kucing yang terkena flu adalah menghindari keramaian, maunya menyendiri di tempat gelap. Terkait dengan demam, suhu tubuh yang tinggi jadi mereka meminimalisir kontak dengan sumber panas.

Secara naluriah, kucing tau bagaimana untuk "mengobati" dirinya sendiri, makanya kita sebagai owner harus peka dengan kondisi kucing, karena kucing ga bisa ngomong. 

Pertama kali aku sadar kalau Koji lagi sakit, aku browsing dan mencocokkan gejalanya, ternyata cocok dengan flu. Disini aku juga menyadari kalau aku gak punya kemampuan untuk mendiagnosis penyakit, tapi karena keterbatasan biaya, aku akhirnya coba untuk mengobati Koji berbekal informasi dari Youtube. Sebagian besar bilang untuk flu ringan biasanya akan sembuh dengan sendirinya, untuk flu berat biasanya harus dibantu dengan suplemen peningkat imun dan antibiotik.

Banyak yang kasih resep obat antibiotik, tapi aku mohon sama kalian untuk tidak mencoba, karena tidak mudah menentukan dosis antibiotik, kita harus benar-benar tau fase penyakit dan kondisi kucing (berat badan, suhu, ketajaman mata, cek kuping, dll).

Aku hanya berani kasih air dicampur madu dan imboost cair, tapi karena Koji tidak terbiasa, dan malah terganggu, menyebabkan Koji mengalami stress berat, dalam kondisi itu, penyakit bisa berubah sangat parah, karena dia menolak segala jenis benda yang dimasukan ke mulut, bahkan ga mau kita pegang. 

Besoknya, penyakit menular ke Kochil, dia menunjukan gejala flu awal dan Koji udah lemes banget. Besoknya kita sepakat untuk bawa mereka ke dokter hewan yang buka, karena weekend, kebetulan pet carrier juga cuma 1, dan kita saat itu cuma bisa naik angkutan umum. 

Sedikit tips untuk yang bawa hewan via angkutan umum:

1. Usahakan melakukan perjalanan sepagi mungkin, menghindari hewan peliharaan terpapar suhu udara yang panas. 

2. Bawa lap/ tissue karena ada hewan yang takut naik kendaraan dan buang air (untung kucing aku enggak)

3. Perhatikan cuaca, jika panas bisa bawa lap/ payung/ kipas biar ga kena matahari langsung, kalau hujan bawa pelindung, pokoknya sesuaikan lah

4. Cari Vet yang lokasinya paling dekat dengan rumah, usahakan tidak lebih dari 5 km, supaya perjalanannya tidak terlalu lama, gak cuma hewan peliharaan yang kasian, tapi penumpang lain juga mungkin ada yg terganggu

5. Pastikan dokter tersedia, cari nomor telepon Vet dan tanyakan hari ini ada atau tidak, pastikan jamnya

Sampai di Buana Vet, aku langsung registrasi pasien, dan menunggu untuk persiapan pemeriksaan. Selama menunggu, banyak hewan lain seperti kucing dan anjing yang sedang melakukan grooming maupun rawat inap di ruangan yang berbeda. Kalau sekiranya kucing kamu takut, maka jangan dikeluarkan dari pet carrier, mengantisipasi kucingnya ngamuk atau stress.

Di ruang pemeriksaan, Koji ditangani oleh dokter Lucy, dokter ini baik banget dan tau caranya restrain hewan. Koji itu agresiiiiiiif banget sama orang asing, termasuk dokter Lucy. Disana ada asisten dokter yang membantu, karena mungkin Kojinya yang terlalu beringas, beliau terkena cakaran yang aku yakin sakit banget, maaf ya mas :(

Setelah bisa dikunci dan tidak bisa bergerak, Koji diperiksa penampilan keseluruhan, bulu, mata, kuping, hidung, suhu, berat badan, dan pengecekan organ tubuh mungkin? (diteken gitu apa ada yg sakit, takutnya gejala penyakit lain). Tapi dokter Lucy bilang ini sepertinya flu, beliau akan meracik antibiotik dan peningkat imun. 

Kalau ada yg berharap dapat resep, nama obat, ataupun dosis, kalian gak akan nemu itu disini. Percaya deh untuk menentukan dosis antibiotik itu gak sembarangan. Dosis antibiotik untuk kedua kucingku yang tinggal serumah aja beda, padahal gejala dan berat badannya sama. Tapi memang saat konsultasi, ada beberapa pertimbangan berdasarkan keterangan aku dan hasil observasi dari pemeriksaan dokter saat itu.

Kita dikasih obat berbentuk pil, sumpah deh itu momen yang bikin aku bingung banget karena kucing aku ga bisa minum pil. Tapi dokter Lucy ngajarin kita caranya sekalian ngasih obat untuk kucingku hari itu. Aku juga dikasih tau untuk membeli Science Diet A/D untuk pendamping minum obat.

Alhamdulillah setelah sekitar 1 minggu, dengan perjuangan minum obatnya, Kochil dan Koji sembuh. Total biaya yang dikelurkan per kucing kurang lebih Rp300.000-350.000 belum ditambah Science Diet A/D 2 kaleng kecil (2 x Rp45.000).

Kata tetangga aku, Vet yang jaraknya hanya 100 m lebih jauh punya harga lebih murah. Sejujurnya aku gak menyesal dengar itu karena aku puas banget dengan pelayanan Buana Vet, dan harga yang aku keluarkan disitu masih masuk akal, tidak overprice.

Nah siapa nih yang baca postingan ini karena lagi cari Vet bagus di Bogor atau kucingnya lagi flu? 

Semoga cepet sembuh ya mpusnya <3

Bonus foto Kochil yang dipotongin kuku aja heboh

Mudah-mudahan ada manfaat yang bisa diambil dari sini.

Kalau ada salah, kritik, atau saran bisa komentar di bawah ini atau hubungi kontak aku ya

Terima kasih..

Review Dear Me Beauty Perfect Matte Lip Coat Dear Winna

Assalamu'alaikun

Telat banget untuk review Dear Me Beauty Perfect Matte Lip Coat ini karena sudah hype segitu lamanya. Review kali ini aku cuma ingin membuktikan klaim produk ini serta sekian banyak review yang menyatakan kalau produk ini nyaman banget dipakai, ringan, namun tetap mampu meratakan warna bibir.

Aku cuma punya shades Winna, yang berdasakan panduan bibir sejuta umat (lippielust) cocok dipakai untuk segala warna kulit.

Sebenernya saat ini banyak banget produk-produk lip cream yang kemasannya mirip banget sama Dear Me cuma beda warna aja. Wes nanti akan ada review selanjutnya, mengenai produk yang akan aku review selanjutnya, tapi formulanya beda banget.

Balik lagi ke Dear Me, kalau masalah aplikator, gak jauh beda dengan lip cream pada umumnya yang panjang dan runcing di bagian ujung. Dengan bentuk yang seperti ini, otomatis produk akan lebih banyak nempel di ujungnya, makanya bagi sebagian orang gak perlu celup-celup lagi, cukup sekali ambil langsung bisa nutup. Menurutku kalau mau aplikasi ombre lips, sah-sah aja. Tapi kalau mau aplikasi yang lebih presisi dan rapi, baiknya produk di bagian ujung aplikator tadi dipeperkan ke mulut botol. (dipeperkan bahasa lainnya apa ya)

Untuk yang masih memperhatikan, lip cream ini Paraben-Free, Sulfate-Free, Alcohol-Free, dan juga Silicone-Free. 

Menurut aku, shades Winna memang cocok banget dipakai di segala jenis warna kulit. Tapi kalau yang pakai warna kulit gelap, ini akan menjadi warna nude yang bagus banget beneran deh pengen nangis T_T

Warnanya itu warm, orange dengan dominan cokelat dan ada hint kuning. Sungguh warna yang kekinian, nude tapi ga pasaran.
