🎉 Celebrating Five Years of MAO:

A Murder & Mystery Series by the princcess of manga, Takahashi Rumiko🌙✨She has influenced me so much.Her great Influence has reached in Iran too. As we approach the fifth anniversary of MAO, it's time to reflect on the captivating journey this murder and mystery series has taken us on.

Created by the legendary Rumiko Takahashi, MAO may not have reached the same heights of commercial success as some of her older hits like Ranma and Inuyasha, but its impact on readers is undeniable.

Below(from left to the right):Hyakka,Kamon(Up is)Mao,derssed as inmuoji Shiranui,(with the military uniform)down Hakubi:

In MAO, sensei masterfully combines elements of mystery, romance, and the supernatural to craft a story that keeps us on the edge of our seats with each chapter. From the chilling murders to the intricate plot twists, MAO immerses us in a world where danger lurks around every corner and nothing is as it seems.

Despite its modest sales, MAO has garnered a dedicated fanbase who appreciate its unique blend of genres and its compelling characters. While an anime adaptation may seem uncertain at this time, the impact of MAO extends far beyond its commercial success, reminding us that true greatness lies in the depth of its storytelling and the emotions it evokes in its readers.

As we celebrate five years of MAO, let's cherish the moments of suspense, intrigue, and heart-pounding excitement that have made this series a standout in Rumiko Takahashi's illustrious career. Here's to many more years of unraveling mysteries and uncovering secrets with Mao,Nanoka, Otoya and the rest of the cast of MAO! 📖💫

The first time ever Mao and Otoya see something of the 21th century technology:A cell phone,containing pictures! “What is this weird thing in Nanoka’s hand?”. And it’s real appropriate to track down the missing girl Hajuki Ootori:)

[ashitakaxsan]

Nanoka really Shined.

Mao team was caught off guard from Hakubi’s plan,in a real ominous situation.  Truly Hakubi seemed having the Upper hand in the Whole Case:The eager for beast using(and quite a nihilist)Souma,the magic Puppet Pin on Mao’s back,thus commanding Him like a mere puppet.And the Teleportation Portal.

Naturally it came to Nanoka to fight the Gokou.

It did seem as “insane” for a girl to fight it.It was pure and sheer:I Fight,or we all get killed.She took the hagunsei katana,charged against the Beast. She really injured it!

So much Crucial that Hakubi decided to flee,taking Mao along.If He would make it then Mao would be doomed(: Nanoka flying with so much speed to his Rescue,sliced Hakubi’s cables that grabbing him.She ruined the abduction oparation.With so many at stake it would be foolish to brag about her prowess.Even though to us(on the surface)looked crazy she charged on rampaging Mao,keeping senses while extending her arm to His back,there She removed the Pin!:)

The Gokou realized(along with treacherous Souma)they had lost.Mao regained freedom,he jumped attacking them.But they teleported way!Souma mentions in sadness he was useless.That’s the hot Point:He betrayed the Benevolent doctor Mao for gain an Ayakashi beast,but he couldn’t beat Nanoka.

The whole arc,despite the bad taste from Souma’s betrayal,was a Real Strong.It’s Satisfaction Nanoka really shined,she exceeded her “usual” self to fight for the good of her beloved Mao,and her friends as well.Why to hide it?If She had stayed underpowered,throughout the series,that would be so alien for the Rumicworld.Plus it would convey a wrong message,such as:”All girls are weaklings”.

I reckon that from now on Nanoka is valued to learn the onmyuji techniques,to learn quite well also the use of a weapon(katana,or kusarigama).

Because Hakubi will always remember of how this Bold girl foiled the Plan(about Mao’s abduction).”I underestimated Nanoka”,he says at the closing.He can’t take it lightly(either as captain either as centuries old onmyuji)he lost to her.We can’t know,for now,if he had fought in the past against courageous women.

Takahashi Rumiko sama has seriously worked to give us a such Good Series.Manga needs to be Good.Anything good will be a series.As Simple as that:)

How will Nanoka act? How will Hakubi plan also to beat her?

[ashitakaxsan]

Give us Victorious Mao and Nanoka.

#The new MAO chapter is Quite Thrilling.Nanoka(disgusted with the Goku mischievous)decides to actively defend her friends.Cause She’s flying she surprises the Goku,certainly they had thought of her as “a weak human”.Luckily for the MAO team!:)

She immediatly takes Mao’s Hagunsei katana,fights the Enormus beast.But now Hakubi has decided to teleport,taking Mao along.He opens the Portal.

If they bring him to Yurako She’ll torture him before killing him.Later they’ll put the Subdue Needle to Nanoka,thus enslave her(:

What will happen in the next MAO chapters?With what Way?

I’m holding my Breath.

[ashitakaxsan]

Status:Ominous.

In Chapter 75,of MAO,things are very Ominous.Nanoka chan saw her beloved Mao hurt-and manipulated by the magical needle on his back,plus Hyakka san is hurt too,while Kagami Souma has betrayed his Benefactor Mao! Nanoka sees  how much Callous is Hakubi,nearly monstrous.Also she hears from Him “as an experiment Mao will kill Hyakka”!

She’s Angry with Them.She resents the Gokou for their mentality,and hurting her Precious people.So it’s up to Her to Save them,while bust these ugly one.

“What can She do?”,you’ll ask me the question.She Will Do.It wil defined by:

a)Her Determination and her Abilities.

b)About how much the Goku have underestimated Her. Probably they have.

Hmm,will She use the Hagunsei longsword?

Let’s wait for the new MAO Chapters!:)

P.S:I just loath Souma.He’s so cold,so immoral and Selfish,just to become beast user at all costs,with-out morals at all.He has no excuse,even if it’s Hakubi’s Ploy,the notorious  “make the donkey follow the carrot”.

[ashitakaxsan]

To Beat Him.

Rumiko sama really keeps  us in such suspence.It's a reason more why I favor her:)

Recently the Ruthless assassin Renji didn't sweat at all.Having placed tormented fire bugs in Nanoka(to burn her instantly)threatens actually Mao to come along.

To Shiranui's residence.Mao tells Renji that he will come-only if he removes the fire bugs from Nanoka,if not he will kill him.

Renji accepts it and makes the bug leave Nanoka. Mao goes with Renji willingly, but tells Otoya to take care of things. Once he is gone Otoya asks Nanoka to pick up Mao's Hagunsei sword. But suddenly a turtle a turtle floates around the boat,turns into the huge beast Genbu.Which devours the fire bugs.

Renji tries to counterattack Mao. Mao aims to attack Renji's instrument-but the assassin warns him:That he did not take all of the fire bugs out of Nanoka,and if he continues to fight he will kill her.

(The Assassin thought he could prove badass>Lol)

With a single gesture Mao summons a column of water from beneath Renji's boat, trapping him inside and preventing him from strumming his instrument. Mao wonders to himself if he will have to kill Renji in order to save Nanoka.

Pondering

Renji had absolute,tight power on our Friends.He performed a Maximum Pressure on them.Would he really win ? *2

Not that easy!Cause Mao Zedong*1 the well knowing of guerilla warfare quotes:

"Don't squeeze the cat at the corner,persisting so she'll resist by striking on your face.Just cut her some slack".

That's right:If in a war you trap your rival  in a ringer,with Maximum Pressure,you didn't intimidate him.You just pushed him in Determined Resistance(depending on the degree of his High spirit).Now,here the cat is Dr Mao,the Onmyoji and boyfriend of Nanoka chan!

*1:I just admire the brilliant quote.I don’t say I like Mao Zedong.

*2:If he’ll ever find out,that how close he was to grab Akanemaru.He could have a bit of success. He lost a fine chance:)
