Hachiman Shrine Torii Gate (八幡神社の鳥居)

Located just across a small bay on the water’s edge in a non-descript fishing village in Minami-Izu, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.

The center path leading from the torii gate to the shrine itself is reserved for the kami (god/deity that are enshrined in the shrine), so be sure to approach and walk either on the left or the right when visiting a shrine that has not be capitalized into a tourist attraction, since you might actually cause offense if a local sees your visiting the shrine and not respecting proper etiquette.

We will leave Tokyo before 4pm. About 180 miles one way? I think that. We plan to arrive before 8pm. There are no expressways in Minami Izu, so you have to drive on mountain roads.

Mangas that I consider classics Part 1

Shut Hell

The story of this manga follows a boy named Sudou, who re-occurring dreams of bloody battles from a different era. He is then one gets a visit by a shy and quiet girl named Suzuki. After looking around his workshop and picking up a specific instrument that caught her eye. She plays it and Sudoh then gets transported to the year 1209. There he wakes up as a woman named “Shut Hell” which mean “Evil Spirit.” 

You all probably haven't realized this but the year 1209 was a part of the 13th Century. Set in country of Mongolia where Genghis Khan is reigning supreme!! 

Our main character Suzuki has submitted to the task of of protecting Yurul a prince from one of the fallen nations (who is also carrying something so important that Genghis Khan is after him), while embodying the slowly deteriorating body of “Shut Hell.”

I highly recommend this one because of how the rough artwork really brings out the dramatic effects! In other words the artist really brings out a highly realistic feel. Especially since it is a historical manga.

Grand Blue

Basing off our main character, Iori Kitahara is a newly entered College freshman at Izu city. His new life starting with all the excitement of being independent from his highly conservative family who own a traditional Japanese Hotel. 

He then moves in with his uncle and two female cousins who own and run a dive shop in town called ‘Grand Blue.’ Just as he enters the store doors, Iori is greeted by his overly drunk and astonishingly naked college seniors, and is coerced into joining their diving club.

As the story moves on he meets even more colorful characters, and gets into one mayhem after the other. 

Will Iori be able to survive his freshman year let alone live his dream college life?

The manga honestly just keep on funnier with each passing arc. The characters themselves especially get more devious as time moves on. Which bring a whole new level of mayhem one after the other. I honestly believe that this manga was made to redefine gag comedy. 

Beck

Yukio Tanaka, aka ‘Koyuki,’ is a regular 14-year-old Japanese boy starting freshman year of junior high school. Average as an individual could ever be, this students “boring” life is changed when he saves a very odd dog (called ‘Beck’) being harassed by children. 

Later on Koyuki is approached by ‘Becks’ owner, 16 year old Ryusuke Minami who is aspiring to become a legendary “rocker.” This fateful meeting gave Loyuki and actual purpose on what to do with his life, and decided to become agitar player. 

The story is a very “slice of life” genre where these two and the rest of their band members (vocalist/rapper: Tsunemi Chiba bassist: Yoshiyuki Taira and drummer: Togo) go through trial and error to not only make it big in the music world, but also make their relationship as individuals in their official band called “Beck” (Yes they named themselves after the weird dog).

This is personally one of my favorite and hit me right in the soul. The way these characters come together to eventually break up, only to end up coming back again is pure genius, the reason is because they are also an ‘Indie Band.’ The character development was also well spaced and even well characterized for each individual.

Yuru Camp△ 2 – 12 – Crossing the Rubi-tombolo

Yuru Camp takes a quick look back at when Nadeshiko was saying a tearful goodbye to her best friend Ayano; and I agree with the commenter that Kurosawa Tomoyo is a perfect voice to match Aya-chan’s personality—I just wish Kurosawa voiced a main character! Aya assures Nadeshiko that she’ll make new friends (which she does) and says that once she’s in a new place, she should try a new thing.

That new thing turns out to be camping up an absolute storm, culminating in this latest group trip to the geospot and lookout-packed Izu peninsula. After a refreshing breakfast of sashimi rice bowls, the group heads to Dougashima and the famed tombolo of Sanshiroujima. Akari is heartbroken to learn, her big sis was having her on; “tombolo” isn’t food, but the sandy bridge between islands that appears during low tide.

Removing their boots and braving the frigid waters, the group crosses the shallows and explores the island before the tide comes in. Nadeshiko thinks this would be a perfect spot to visit in the summer when the water is warm enough to swim in, leading to what I believe is the series’ very first cutaway to the girls in swimsuits.

From there, Rin takes point in her 30km/h moped for the drive along the glorious Nishiizu Skyline to their campsite. I can’t help but recall a similar drive I took up Mount Evans, on the highest paved road in North America. Evans is 2km taller than Fuji-san, so you can imagine words will hardly do the majesty of the scenery justice. It truly is, as Rin says, like driving in the sky.

Once they arrive at the Daruma Forest Campsite on the Darumayama highland, Aki, Rin and Ena start prepping for dinner early, while Akari leads the birthday girls Nadeshiko and Aoi away to check out the baths near Cape Mihama (which is sometimes mistaken for Cape Ose). To Akari’s shock, they already know a birthday meal is being prepared, since Aki specifically told Aoi that back at school, and their grocery shopping included things like whipped cream.

But even though it’s not a complete surprise, Nadeshiko and Aoi are still delighted by the celebration prepared by the others, who go all-out with decorations, a (pancake-based) cake, and the gift of durable and easy-to-maintain wooden cooking pans.

A suitably sumptuous feast of shrimp and tomato risotto awaits, made with spiny lobster broth and made extra-shrimpy by the addition of a highly-concentrated shrimp sauce. While Toba-sensei is enjoying the snacks the girls prepared to go with her booze, she gets a call from her Ryouko, who is herself solo camping much closer to Fuji-san out of her sister’s Suzuki Hustler.

Ryouko can tell her sister isn’t that drunk (yet) and congratulates her for being a good advisor. Minami admits she “wasn’t too keen” on becoming one at first due to the time it took up, but watching her students growing up before her eyes, she totally gets the appeal now!

With everyone now on the same sleep clock, the girls eschew movies and head to bed early so they can get up in time to watch the sun rise from the peak of Duramayama. The extra 500-meter climb nearly kills Aki all over again, but Rin and Nadeshiko reach the top first with time to spare, and Nade prepares instant miso soup with more of the spiny lobster broth, telling Rin the shell can be used more than once and even ground down into powder for future use.

While Toba-sensei stays in the van with a still-sleeping Akari, Aki, Aoi and Ena join Nadeshiko and Rin at the top, and the three formally bow and thank Rin for saving them. They also intend to visit the Iidas to properly thank them (and play with their adorable Corgi, Choko).

Then that sun rises and begins to bathe the landscape in its warm, silky light, rewarding the girls for their effort. Did I mention that shortly after starting this show I’ve started getting up early to watch the sunrise? There’s really nothing quite like that light. Yuru Camp isn’t just about immersing yourself in its warm and fuzzy therapeutic goodness, but inspiring you to get out there and give something new a try, as Aya urged Nadeshiko to do.

Cycled from Atami to Minami-Izu on a rainy day. Was catching up with everyone after fixing the rear tire and tube. Swam the cold sea and was impressed with my body to adapt to the cold. Drinking and eating with friends in front of a bonfire.
