My taste in romance has less to do with how romantic the relationship actually is (though that is a bonus) and more to do with how interesting I find the dynamic between the couple. Which is why fluffy vanilla romance usually bores the hell out of me. I want to see how these characters dramatically affect each other and fundamentally change each other and their individual understandings of the world!!! I want to see a beautiful tie-in between the romance and the themes + messages of the story and how it all builds to a climax!!!

The other ps1 game I started playing. There aren't a lot of ps1 rpgs I can afford. I was lucky enough to be able to get a deal on wild arms 2.

say 5 FL that you hate/love the most and the same for ML (hate/love) and why

your 10 favorite manga/anime ever and why?

I will answer you in two parts because this will be long and difficult:

Ok, here we go: my top five of heroines

1, my undisputed number one is JUMI (That Summer) I really love her, she is perfect, honest, strong, sweet etc in a very realistic way, i really think she is the best built character I've ever seen, don't get me wrong she is not the typical manga heroine she is on another level.

2. Touma Kazusa (WA2) she is a little more cliché unlike Jumi, but I still love her, I like that she always knew how to keep her dignity, she was loved, but she made a very realistic decision and she is so incredibly talented and I love how the writer reaffirm it over and over again. She is very loyal to me, and although he understands Setsuna, he always says what she thinks, and although I suffer a lot bc the ending, I am happy because they loved each other.

3. Charlotte Eleonor She is a very coherent character, she is always cold, but straight the point and loyal. I like the way she realizes that she is in love for the first time, but she is not the typical corny one, she is incredible, and I love her relationship with Jeffrey

4. Eba Yuzi (Kimi no iru machi) This is one of my favorite mangas, I've read it a thousand times, and I don't know, I like that despite everything she becomes more honest with what she feels and goes for it no matter what, she's sexy and pretty.

5. An Hao (Bringing the Nation's Husband Home) and Chizuru (Hakuoki) there is a tie, I like both, I love both stories, I have read the manga a million times and I have also seen the Hakuoki anime another million times.

my 5 most hated girls:

Misa (Death note) This woman lacks intelligence and dignity, she is the epitome of the ridiculous.

Sekai (school days) this Fucking bitch...she doesn't deserve more, No words.

Rui ( Domestic no Kanojo) I can't stand this woman, I hate her, she is so easier than the table of one, she's a treacherous bitch, always as a lapdog behind that boy.

Nana Hachi (Nana) This girl is so unbearable, she represents everything I hate in a woman, many people justify her by saying she is immature and she only wants to be loved, she is indecisive, cowardly, spoiled, cheesy like no one else, incapable of being loyal, not even with Nana whom she claims to love till death, she is jealous freak and a crybaby unable to face life without a man by her side (I'm sorry eternal, but I can't stand her)

Taiga Aisaka I can't stand how scandalous this girl is, Toradora is one of the worst things I've started to see, but both leading roles are unbearable for me

Hina (domestic no Kanojo) Hina, in the first 100 chapters she was one of my favorite heroines, but then the mangaka blurred her so much that I found her pathetic. The ending of this manga along with its development is the most awful thing I've seen in a very long time.

the second part is more difficult because there are too many boys that I love.

Happy Birthday Kazusa!

To this day I think I’m still enamored by you.

今でも君に見とれてると思うよ。

Once upon a time I was definitely on team Kazusa, and I think that although in the end my heart strings were pulled more to Setsuna and Koharu, there is no doubt that I probably would have struggled just as terribly as Haruki.

最初はかずさ派だったけど、結局雪菜と小春に心を奪われた。でも、間違いなく春希見たいに酷く迷ったと思う。

White Album 2 is a work I love because I relate so well to Haruki and his decision making. His nature to meddle and force his way into things; a pragmatic and realistic nature; yet somewhere, a childish gap of judgement and weakness to kindness.

WA2を好きになった理由は春希に自分が見えたからだ。お節介なところ；現実的な考え方；でも、子供っぽい間違いとやさしさに弱いところ。

I searched for White Album 2 fans on Twitter simply because I loved the work too much, I loved the story too much and I had no one to talk to. I had to free myself from that solitude.

ツイッターでWA2ファンを探したのは物語が好きすぎて、話したくてでも話す相手がいなかったんだ。その孤独をいやすためだった。

Kazusa taught me many things - a love for the sound of piano, a sense of patience and the importance of chasing dreams. Kazusa always focused on the importance of practice and to approach everything simply.

かずさからたくさん教えてもらえた。ピアノのを音への愛情、待つことの大事さと夢を夢中に追うこと。いつもかずさは練習に集中し、単純な目線から生きていた。

She was willing to throw everything she had away to be with Haruki. She forced Setsuna to take responsibility over him, she played her role perfectly. She realized that she too could be a good daughter and that she was capable of being a reliable adult. 

春希と一緒になるためなら何もかも投げ出す覚悟があった。雪菜に責任感を感じさせるときさえも自分の役目を果たした。そして、時には雪菜みたいな「いいやつ」にもなり、完璧な大人になることも。

Yet, she had her cute moments - an inability to cook, a reliance on Haruki and a sense of cheekiness when showing off. I think there’s no doubt that she’s so beloved by the fans is because of how powerful her words and decisions are. How driven she is by her heart and how all of us are just like Haruki, pulled by our hearts and neckties, unable to make the right decision that everyone tells us to do.

でも、時には可愛いところもあった。料理ができないこと、春希に頼ること、そしてちょっとだけ図々しいところ。ファンに愛されてることは、かずさの言葉と結論の強さから生み出されたものだ。まるで春希みたいに、心から引かれて、まるでネクタイを引っ張ってるように夢中になって、周りの言葉を無視してしまう。

It’s truly this heart-wrenching difficult decision that makes White Album as wonderful and tragic as it is. No one is at fault, but someone must suffer and that is why we are on the opposite side of happiness. Because someone is always left on the other side. 

この心を壊される選択をしなければならない痛みがWA2の素晴らしさであり、悲劇なところでもある。誰のせいではない。それでも、誰かが苦しまずにはできない。だからこそ、幸せの向こう側。向こう側には必ず誰かが残るんだ。

If I have just one regret, it’s not getting Hitomi Nabatame-san’s signature when she came to Toronto’s Anime North a few years ago. But alas, from our mistakes we learn and grow.

そして、一つの後悔があるとしたら、何年か前に生天目仁美さんにカナダのアニメノース祭りでサインをもらわなかったこと。でも人生ってそんなことから上達することでしょう。
