Lame.
This guy's a moron, you can't write a review for the first volume of a manga and then treat it like the entire series review when you've obviously only read the first several chapters. He's probably looked into the chapters online, since he knows the twist that's not revealed in the first volume, or he's a spoiling whore, but seriously, you can't say you've read this story before if you're read the whole thing.
You just...can't. At all.
If only I could critique his review on the website, I'd definitely rip him a new one... >.>
EDIT: Here.
Now this is a review from someone who a) does not give away the major plot-twist, b) doesn't try and judge the whole series from one volume (and obvious "I-know-the-twist" spoilers needed to properly review the first volume), and c) ...has good taste. >.>
Favorite manga/series ever, I think I'm allowed to be biased.
EDIT THE SECOND:
I've reached that point. I'm so obsessed that I will never find my way out. I think I just realized it now. I caught my self wondering and hoping I could find an online discussion or any kind of discussion of people reading the manga as it's translated so I can see new takes and opinions on the series. And then I want to go out and find the novel to have and to hold, 'til death do us part, even though I don't read Japanese. I just want to look at the illustrations. And the text. And I want to get the special edition, even though I'd literally have to go to Japan and hunt it down since I don't think they sell it anymore.
I want it so badly and I keep bouncing thinking about holding it in my hands.
I have never been this much in to something. Ever. And all my friends IRL avoid it like the plague because I've already spoiled it for them and I always preface it with: "I cried so much while reading this." I can't get enough of this series, I check pixiv every day for new fanart. It's the second thing that's listed on my livejournal search auto-complete. I've searched for the special edition of the novel so much that it's the first thing that comes up on Google auto-complete.
The prospect of playing at Bokurano_RP forever and ever makes me giddy. Finding new fans makes me giddy. Re-reading the manga (except for one chapter >> ) makes me giddy.
I have 136 icons and climbing for Machi. I just started iconing the anime today (I finally gave in, even though she's not the same Machi I fell in love with, she's still Machi, and I can understand some of her decisions). I got through two episodes.
I want to learn better photoshop so I can make better videos. I think about it constantly, find myself wanting to buy the t-shirts and Zearth figurine that's, like, $100. I searched ACen -- every single stall -- for anything Bokurano related. I can recognize the characters for the word bokurano even though I don't speak a word of Japanese -- or more appropriately, even though I can't read it.
I just realized it. I'm obsessed. I have been for around a year. For about eight months, it's been heavy obsession. I need to stop, but I really don't want to.
God damn it, Mohiro Kitoh. You've hooked me for life. I don't think I can ever escape.
