mizutama honey boy - ike junko
overview: this is a shoujo high-school romance about sengoku mei, captain of the kendo team and tomboyish girl who is only focused on strength and training. fuji shirou, a girly boy with girly mannerisms and a cross-dressing hobby, confesses to her. she turns him down initially but they continue to be friends. it’s a classic will-they-won’t-they where you know eventually they will, but in shoujo style it’s drawn out forever and ever and ever. there are lots of rivals in the mix, most notably the third point of the love triangle, nanao manabu, captain of the boys’ kendo team who also declares himself in love with sengoku and demands that they fight a match, which, if she loses, she has to go out with him. there are lots of other characters getting in the way intentionally or otherwise, it’s a very classic long-form shoujo slow burn. there are 10 volumes of this and i’ve read 6 and that is the point at which i am giving up.
"The fact is," he said, "I liked you from the first moment I saw you, when you looked like you wanted to punch me in the face for just being alive. That probably says something dark about me. And I think you like me because I annoy you. Both of us have real problems, but maybe we should make our weird personalities work for us.”
Stevie had often wondered how these conversations worked, when people talked about feelings and touching, and all of the stuff she thought was meant to be kept carefully bottled inside her own personal apothecary. Now someone wanted in, to take the lids off the vials, to peer at the contents. Stevie was unaware that people were even allowed to talk about emotions this frankly. This was not how things happened at home.

You know what really fucking bothers me about school in general? It took away my passion. Before high school I loved to read. I devoured books over and over, stayed up reading with a flashlight when I needed to know what happened next chapter, cherished every book and refused to crack their spines. Now I can't remember the last time I read a real book. In English class they would assign us Great Gatsby and Frankenstein and Heart of Darkness and Grapes of Wrath and I couldn't bring myself to read a single one. Too many things to do, not enough time. Reading became a burden, not an escape. So I just stopped. I stopped reading every second I had free time. I stopped picking up books in the bookstore. I gave away half my collection. I keep saying "I'll get back into it soon" but it's been years. I stopped reading because I was being forced to read books I wasn't interested in, and now I'm being forced to read 200 pages a week from textbooks to not fail my classes. I stopped reading because school killed that passion.
Lorna Doone by R.D.Blackmore. So, I tried to start reading this book this week to try and have read some classics... this probably want the best to start with. I'm fine with old language, but this was something else! When they spell it, they pronounce it in the dialect. I had to read it out loud to figure out what they were saying - imagine this: I was actually doing this on the bus!!! I didn't need this hassle so I stopped reading at chapter 5 :( sorry Lorna Doone! 28.2.15
