Introduction

Hi, I'm Gabe!
On this blog, I'll be posting about things that I enjoy, which are mostly related to Japanese culture such as anime and manga.

I'm a Brazilian undergraduate in Japanese Language and Literature. My hobbies involve writing, cooking, reading and watching stuff. I also like playing online games at times. I love singing, but I'm still learning how to do it properly. My favorite foods are ramen and pudding, and I'm affectionate for Eiichiro Oda's One Piece.

 Here you'll find reviews on anime and manga, translations of Japanese short stories, curiosities about Japanese culture, recipes and perhaps some tales about my life. Currently, I'm also planning on starting a YouTube channel related to this blog. I hope you'll enjoy it!

Thanks for reading,

With love,

Gabe

"Ah!", little Satoko halted in shock as if seeing something. Midori and Sayuri also became in shock whe...

[Review] Daybreak

So, I was looking for something good to watch on Netflix as I bumped upon this series and thought "hey, let's give it a try".  Daybreak is a teenager show about zombie apocalypses, teenager problems, and school gangs. At first sight, it looks like a mix of Zombieland or some ordinary zombie apocalypse comedy film and Mad Max, which would usually make you think "what's special or different about it?".  Well, I have to admit that during my first watched episode I was like "why am I still watching this? It's total trash". The first moments were boring and the protagonist, Josh, definitely sucked, but with some persistence, it turned out to be an amazing show. But what makes it such an amazing show? First of all, the characters. They are, for the most, very well-written, deep and have good development along the episodes. Despite the protagonist -  the usual survivalist who creates rules in order to survive and ends up leading the others - ...
