Penguin Revolution

Whoopdie-doo, this is the manga I was typing about in my previous posts. This one's called Penguin Revolution, written and illustrated by one of my newly-found favourite artistes, Tsukuba Sakura.

PEACOCK is an entertainment company - technically a talent agency, really - and its star rankings are divided into three levels. We have the Number 1 (the agency's top talent), the Crows (this category consists of 10 people according to their overall performances) and then we have the Penguins.

Penguins are the lowest ranked in PEACOCK. They are looked down upon and in the manga, it was also clearly stated that they aren't even qualified to have awards et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Cruel, yes, I know.

On the other hand, Fujimaru Yukari has a very irresponsible father who left her, with no notice at all, after his newly-built company went bankrupt. In fact, Yukari would've been left to sleep on park benches had she not caught one of PEACOCK's talents in her school.

Why I say "caught"? It's 'cause Katsuragi Ryou is a 17-year-old masquerading as a girl. She is, actually, a he. Naturally, Yukari is more than surprised and shocked to have discovered that. Nonetheless, had she not, she wouldn't have been offered a job as Ryou's manager.

She accepts, needless to say. Doesn't sound to bad, eh? It's just a job as a manager anyway. No big deal...

... except she has to masquerade as a guy to do that.

Yeah, PEACOCK is that kind of company.

Pause.

No, that sounded way WORSE than what it is actually is. It's just that the company has this kind of... weird policy that all the talents in the agency has to wear disguises in order to protect the company's confidentiality, as well as the talents' privacy when they are just normal people.

So yeah, topsy-turvy everywhere and all over the place :) I personally liked this manga. The only bad thing about it, in my opinion, is that I wished the ending would've been more elaborate. Honestly, they should've prolonged the ending and make it take up one whole chapter instead of a few pages.

Yeah, I'm a hopeless romantic when it comes to manga and anime :) MWAHAHA.

You can read this manga at www.mangaeden.com. Manga Eden is much better than Manga Fox when it comes to its library (Manga Fox doesn't support licensed manga but Manga Eden does).

That's about it, then :) CIAO!!
