T'was 300 Years....

Image
Your book now takes place three hundred years in the future (the year 2319). In what ways has the narrative changed? Art and dialogue has a really big impact when it comes to the making of manga. Considering those two factors, inside jokes and information told in the book will become outdated 300 years later. However, it seems rigor mortis is indeed a thing that happens in the body hours after death. Just takes research to confirm possible truths residing in the story.

Kaito 1412

What would you say is your book's THEME SONG?  Post a link to this song on your blog then explain how it applies to your text. Ao No Scenario  - CHiCOwithHoneyWorks Aside from Case Closed! Gosho Aoyama also created another series set in the midst of the Conan's timeline. The original Magic Kaito got remade in 2015 and in the midst of the first season, this song plays at the ending of each episode. It made sense, because the manga is about a young magician who becomes the phantom thief to steal jewels, the song is somewhat implies a race to figure out the trickery and exploit his identity. 

Return of the Young Detective

If you had to adapt your book into a movie, what scenes/characters/events would you cut and why?  What aspects of the text would you need to keep?      So there's this scene in this second murder case where the main protagonist and his mother were riding to a friend's house. In the book, Conan woke up to find himself apparently stuffed inside of his mother's shirt. And considering that they're on a motor bike, it made sense that she'd wear something skin tight to keep him close. But considering western audiences, that little scene there would have been cut out anyways for the sake of censorship.      Even so, It's probably not possible for a child to be able to remain there without falling out midway throughout the ride. But what do I know?

A Haiku for You...

The Objecteth Is Very Much Imp'rtant

What is the most important OBJECT in your story?  Tell me about this object's history, then tell me what role this object plays in your story.  If that object didn't exist, how would the event of your book have gone different? This question is applicable to both fiction and non-fiction texts. For example, if you were reading  Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone , the Sorcerer's Stone would obviously be the most important object.  The answer to this question may be more apparent for some books than others.      I'd like to think everything is a butterfly affect. Without the main protagonist's, Shindou Shuichi, aspiration towards being a musician, he probably wouldn't have met Yuki Eiri because essentially,  Yuki has a connection to a record label that Shuichi always dreamed to being apart of. While this object may not be quite the materialistic item that everyone would expect, it's something that vital to all of the events that follows...

The Walking Dead? (DGM Edition)

The zombie apocalypse has come, and you are building your defense team.  If you had to choose one character from your text to help you survive, who would it be and why?  How would they help (or hinder) you in fighting back? If you are reading a non-fiction book, consider how helpful your current book would be in a zombie apocalypse.  What information have you learned that would help you survive?      If D.Gray-Man were to be set during a zombie apocalypse, Allen Walker would have been a leading candidate if he wasn't too emotionally invested in saving humanity and what is left of the world. Though, depending on the circumstances, I believe he'd kill a zombie for the sake of survival. He most likely become a candidate for an anti-serum experimentation in order to reverse the zombie virus and potentially save what remains of the human race. He'd also travel around with a bat, a couple of guns and a golden retriever by his side. And considering that he'...

If you had to pick ONE PAGE from your text that is the MOST IMPORTANT - the page that shapes the book as a whole - what page would it be  Give me the page NUMBER, a brief DESCRIPTION of what that page contains and WHY it's so important.      Personally, I think this is the most important page because Allen Walker (the male in white) has returned to the grave of Allen (the dog). This is is where he began his life as Allen and where he first interacted with his foster father, Mana Walker.      In the previous chapter, Allen was recaptured by Kanda Yu and Johnny Gills and with the help of Froi Tiedoll, Kanda's mentor, they aided Allen in an escape off the grid from the order. But out on impulse, Allen escape though the Ark and unintentionally brought Kanda with him on the journey. They landed in the midst of cold somewhere in Britain. This very page foreshadows a reveal of Allen's story to Kanda, whereas Allen already learned Kanda's story, its tim...
