It was always strange that Shizuka's dad, who by all accounts should have been the smartest person in the world, could never teach her how to use her power. And so she did- she studied other manga and anime for hours on end, taught herself Japanese culture and history, found ways to communicate with people in Japanese- even managed to get an official translator- all without ever going near a classroom. Today we present thirty two tips for studying anime from a textbook author. Now that Shizuka has obtained her transportational power, she is running into some problems. First of all, whatever she uses is bound to be used in strange ways by people around her; second of all, the more power she expands her capabilities to use, the closer she gets to finding out about what's really happening in the world. "Shizuka-chan's Wish (愛なき欲望)". Our heroine Shizuka goes on a date with a university student named Mizuki who happened to be close with her classmate Tsuchiya. When Mizuki disappears soon after, Shizuka starts to suspect that Tsuchiya might have something to do with Mizuki's disappearance. What does Tsuchiya want with Shizuka's powers? What exactly is Mizuki...?". The series has two seperate but interlinked story lines. One follows the everyday life of high school student Keisuke Amemiya (Shizuka) and his friends Takuya Miyata (Tsuchiya) and Yumi Shirako (Mizuki). The other story line follows Akiko Ibaraka, an ordinary girl who gets caught up in yet another universe that keeps trying to kill her every time she leaves her home. Akiko and Shizuka share many similarities. Both are normal teenage girls that are stranded in a strange new world that tries to kill them every time they leave their home. Both also have extremely powerful magical powers at their disposal. Shizuka is now part of the "Best Japanese Actresses" series created by Japanese artist Sissel Wallin for the magazine "Gene-X". Shizuka appears in this video game named "Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor" as a playable character exclusive to Japan. Shizuka appears in the Japanese best selling video game sold in Japan, "Devil Survivor 2" as a character you can recruit for your party. The latest volume, #8, was first published December 4, 2010. The first tankōbon volume was published on March 31, 2003 by Kodansha under their Kodansha Comics imprint. It contains four chapters from the series' beginning to volume 2. On June 26, 2008 Kodansha started republishing all volumes under their new "KC Deluxe" imprint. These new editions are not only bigger but also have color pages and are thus more expensive than the original volumes. All 12 volumes so far have been reprinted under KC Deluxe format. 8eeb4e9f32 12
