0:04
What's up y'all? And welcome back to Daddy to
0:07
talk, I'm your host, Robert. And today, today, I'm going to
0:11
be reviewing two series by the Arthur and artist, Yama Yama.
0:20
I'm almost a tongue twister burn a.
0:22
So first and foremost, a shout-out to impress for
0:27
providing me with digital copies of both.
0:29
Let's Go karaoke and By you now. Both of these series. it's kind
0:40
of interesting because originally I didn't know that
0:45
both of these series were done by the same person but but once
0:52
I read one of them always like the art seems familiar and I
0:58
found out why so very short story so Captivates our Bible
1:05
study series are basically single volume stories for the
1:12
most part. Let's Go.
1:13
Karaoke actually is a prequel to a currently ongoing series by
1:18
the name of From Ira's Eco which kind of gets set up by the end
1:26
of, Let's Go karaoke, but so captivated by you, the cover and
1:33
the name is one that I saw all the time, you know, when I was
1:37
out and about the stores. Whatever.
1:39
But it never really like like, like, like really grabbed me or
1:42
whatever. But let's Go karaoke which from
1:47
one the cover is very beautiful, the name, grab Tension and the
1:52
description about a Yakuza member working with a high
1:58
schooler as soon as do a karaoke I was like okay how can that not
2:03
you know, grab your attention. So before I dive into either one
2:07
of these, basically, once I finish reading, Let's Go
2:09
karaoke. At the end of it, the author is
2:12
talking about how this was a much different series from their
2:17
previous work and I'm like, what was their previous work and I
2:20
saw it was kept. / you. So I'm like, okay, so now I got
2:25
to go back and see if I can get get a copy of captivated by you,
2:31
which I did. And thus, here we are.
2:34
So it's kind of funny how this all kind of came full circle.
2:37
So I'll start with Let's Go karaoke.
2:41
So like I mentioned that's going to karaoke follows a Yonkers, a
2:47
member by the name of kyoji who ends up reaching out to And
2:52
working with this high school student names to tell me who is
2:57
basically, kind of like the head of his choir club at school.
3:02
And so, the Crux of why this Yakuza member is reaching out to
3:07
this high schooler as that basically a few times throughout
3:12
the year, the head boss of the Yakuza gang that he's in Jose,
3:18
karaoke competition for all of the The members of the
3:22
organization and basically, whoever is dubbed, the worst
3:27
singer. The Yakuza boss will personally
3:31
put a tattoo of something he knows or he thinks he knows, you
3:36
hate. Of course.
3:38
He's not a professional tattoo artist.
3:39
So not only are you going to get a tattoo or something that you
3:42
potentially hate? But it's also gonna look pretty
3:44
crappy. And thus begins this kind of
3:47
awkward relationship of sorts between In this Yakuza, dude and
3:54
this High School, senior kid. And, you know, there's not much
4:00
to talk about in that sense, but I'll just say it was a pretty.
4:06
It was a pretty fun and interesting read because like I
4:09
said, just get in the dynamic personalities of this grown,
4:13
man, copy, I think, I think he owed you.
4:16
I think he's maybe like in his maybe early 30s, I think,
4:20
age-wise of armor. The right late 20s, early 30s.
4:23
So we're and they said, he's like a 10-year Gap.
4:25
Basically. I mean, like I said, as tell me
4:27
he is, like I said, senior high school but yeah, but that that's
4:32
basically what it is. Is just a just a story of these
4:36
two going through the situation and just like, you know, kyoji
4:44
just constantly popping up out of nowhere and just drag as to
4:48
tell me a way to go, listen to him.
4:52
Struggle at trying to figure out this how karaoke thing and that
4:56
is the basic Crux of the story. Like I said, it is, you know,
4:58
it's it's 33 chapters total but I think it was like 150
5:05
something Pages roughly, but I am curious to see like maybe
5:11
later on, I might go back and read this follow-up story
5:15
because like some basically some time passes after the end of
5:20
like the whole carrier. Okie thing and it kind of like
5:23
said, just like sets of some stuff with tell me as a young
5:26
adult now and so, I will be kind of curiosity like how Like where
5:31
that goes basically, you know. So we'll see you know, like some
5:35
I might get back in with that bum.
5:37
Like I said, like let's Go karaoke like I said if you're
5:39
looking for just a pretty simple yet, fun story, like I said,
5:43
I've just this frigging Yakuza dude and this high schooler
5:48
going on a little, karaoke adventures and stuff and, you
5:52
know, him trying to coach this, this Yakuza God through karaoke.
5:58
It was a pretty pretty fun story.
5:59
Overall now captivated by you captivated by you is one that I
6:06
don't really know like how to really describe once again, like
6:09
I said it was is a chapters. Total was about like 160
6:13
something pages and this volume, or this book was kind of split
6:20
up across like two different characters.
6:22
So the flight, like, like the first character kind of follows
6:25
is this God as this, a Character named Hayashi.
6:31
And so it's described as how y'all she is.
6:33
A front has a Frank guileless demeanor that draws the
6:37
attention of his classmates and strangers.
6:41
And basically he is just kind of just weird but he's but he has a
6:49
I guessed by the title, A captivating personality.
6:53
And so it's like, you know, his classmates, I guess, maybe you
6:56
can kind of call some of them as Is he just he just a intriguing
7:00
person to where, you know, one day out of the blue.
7:05
He just like decided to count all the steps in the school.
7:08
And he's like, hey did you know, there is, you know, x amount of
7:11
steps on the school or one little short story.
7:17
Follow this, this young lady who they ended up connecting
7:21
basically over Twitter because he has a random Twitter account
7:26
with like, ten followers. And he basically goes around
7:30
taking pictures of different signs, all over town and
7:34
creating collages of like different phrases from the
7:38
different letters and words that he's finding.
7:40
And so this girl just become just once again captivated by
7:43
like, okay. You know, they had a similar
7:46
interest in like, in a book that she had recently read and that
7:48
she was going through his Twitter feed and she's like,
7:50
okay like what is he doing with take these pictures and stuff
7:53
whatever? And so like I said it is just
7:55
like just wear stuff like that. Surrounding this character in
8:00
just like their strange demeanor and then the other story follows
8:05
this character named Nick. I know, who I guess back
8:10
basically, when he was in Middle School, he he was very popular
8:16
and intentionally. But it was to the point to her,
8:20
like he was constantly being hounded everywhere.
8:23
He goes, all these girls to be flocking to him and stuff for
8:26
them. So, he went to high school He
8:28
decided to change up his Persona to become this kind of like
8:32
dark. Gloomy guy, Twilight like,
8:35
original. He shaved off his head but then
8:37
he decided to like Gorgeous Hair back out wear glasses, get this
8:42
like, gloomy Persona, so that people will leave him alone and
8:45
it became very successful because basically rumors just
8:49
sort of float around the school, like, hey if if you mess with
8:52
wouldn't ocado, if you touch him, you'll turn it to him or,
8:55
you know, if you if you stare at him too long you'll get Bad
8:58
luck. Just all types of weird, rumors,
9:00
day, kids and stuff, you know, come up with.
9:04
But there's a kid in his class that basically ends up
9:09
befriending him or whatever and of ends of sin like, hey, no,
9:13
you know, there's something wrong with this guy or whatever,
9:15
but it's a finding out about, you know, what, he went through
9:18
middle school and why he kind of has this Persona and stuff.
9:21
So, so overall it was a interesting read.
9:27
But I don't know. And I guess in a sense, if it
9:32
hadn't been for, Let's Go karaoke, I might have never
9:36
gotten around to trying out captivated by you.
9:38
Because like I said, I enjoyed, Let's Go karaoke so much to when
9:42
the author is I had. This is totally different from
9:44
the last thing that I wrote and that after reading captivated by
9:48
you, that is definitely true that this is like a total shift
9:54
from the characters and captivated by you.
9:56
Edging wet. What was done?
9:58
And let's Go karaoke, but I feel like both, you can find some
10:02
type of Enjoyment or maybe even message or connection with them.
10:09
Both of these series. Because like I said, with with
10:11
kid, with Let's Go. Karaoke like I said, it kind of
10:15
just, I guess, in a way just like symbolizes just like, you
10:19
never know. What or how you might get
10:25
dragged into something unexpectedly and same thing with
10:29
captivated by you. You know, sometimes we find
10:34
Interest or Fascination and people because of how different,
10:42
you know, they might be so. Well, my overall, like I said,
10:46
these were just, like I said, just two very interesting
10:48
stories that I'm glad. I got a chance to read and like
10:51
I said, thanks again to you a forgiving me, did you review
10:55
copies of these? But both of these are
10:58
interesting. Like I said, I definitely might
11:01
go and check out. The I guess the continuing
11:06
series from, Let's Go karaoke because the other thing too is
11:11
like is like the art of these series which you can even kind
11:13
of tell by the cover, whatever is a little bit different from
11:17
from other series of something I've read.
11:20
Which hey, that's that's kind of a standout thing because, you
11:24
know, sometimes some some series that stuff starts to kind of
11:26
like, look together, some like, having a somewhat different art
11:30
style like this, especially with The subject matters that stuff
11:35
because it kind of helps in a way kind of like high-end the
11:39
some some characters like facial expressions and stuff like that.
11:42
So bomber so go check out both of these things like I said
11:45
let's Go karaoke for sure and then like I said if that one is
11:49
interesting to you then go check out captivated by you but yeah
