BR1- 11: The Wrong Man

I'm going to Micky's concert. Are you coming with me, Sally? (P.15)

I have never read manga written in English so I was really enjoyed reading this book. This story is about a killer in Australia. This story is complicated and it's hard for me to understand but this book style is manga so manga style helps me to read stories. My favorite sentence is the scene after finding the killer. When Steve comes back to his hotel room, he met Sally in his room! He thinks that she is a rude woman because she enters his room without asking him when he met her at the first time. But she just helps him to searching the killer. Thanks for her, He can catch the killer. They seem to love each other end of the story. Please read it!

BR1-10: Six Sketches

You like cheese? No, I don't like it. (p. 6)

This sentence is in the story named "cheese!" in the book named Six Sketches. As you notice, there are some short stories in this book. The each story is very short so everyone can understand stories very easily. That's a Good point in this book. I will introduce my favorite story in this book now. My favorite story is "Cheese!" because I was very impressed by it. One day, Mr. Smith asked man if he liked cheese- because this man bought cheese everyday- but he said he didn't like it. The reason why he always bought cheese is not to be nervous for everyone. He was a photographer and he wanted everyone to smile. If he showed cheese someone who he wanted to take a picture, he would say "cheese" and smile. I was very interested in this story! If you read this book, I lend it for you.

A couple picture

There are two people in this picture. The left side is a man and the right side is a woman. They look each other. They seem to be dancing.

BR1- 09: The big picture

But sometimes the important thing is right there in front of you. (p. 28)

I was very impressed by this sentence because. This story is about the man whose job is taking picture from Japan. I think this story is good but it's different from a  real Japanese situation because the writer of this book is not a Japanese.For example, Japanese bad man rarely use guns and the people in this book looks little strange though I can't tell how to different from real, something is strange. Except for these points, I think this story is very good. Ken is a happy man because he lives in the country with his a wife and a son. He works hard for them and loves them too. This book has a dangerous scene but it's very exciting! Please read it!
