Why I Need Any More Hobbies Like I Need a Hole in My Head

[aliaspiral]

Here's what i've done in February and half of March, so far, not including things like work, sleep, stare blankly, and read Percy Jackson

I am judging you for not liking Kou Kou Debut. DO YOU FEEL MY JUDGMENT?

[biases]

I told her to try it again. ;_;

[darkeyedwolf]

Haruna is one of my favorite shoujo heroines ever. ;____;

[biases]

I LOVE HER SO MUCH, AND FOR SO MANY REASONS. Like, the time she was bullied by those girls and got into a fight with them and then apologised to Yoh for winning? And the time she saw something coming towards Yoh so she pushed him out of the way and it was a softball and she caught it with one hand and then just chucked it back with extreme force? And EVERY TIME SHE WAS IN A PANEL?!

♥

I feel if they made Koukou Debut into a twdrama, they'd get Ella to play Haruna, and she would be amazing.

Special A is entertaining enough, but the main girl's obtuseness really grates, especially when it's SO OBVIOUS HE LOVES HER. That said, I have a weak spot for emotionally crippled, dour heroes who do good things for the girls they love, so I keep reading it.

And I thought the You're My Girlfriend short was cute as well - have you heard anything about the upcoming kdrama Perfect Taste? It's about this guy (Korean Domyouji) who pretends to be gay so that he can live with a chick who wants a gay roommate. Naturally, feelings develop and hijinks occur. I'm looking forward to it!

I need to watch Saigo no Yakusoka, I NEEDS ME SOME OHNO.

IM SORRY. ARE WE TALKING ABOUT SPECIAL A OR KOUKOU DEBUT?! HUH? *cough* sorry. but that's how I feel about Koukou Debut. THE OBTUSENESS GRATES. At least in Special A, it's shown that she doesnt read all the shoujo manga in the world and so SHOULD HAVE SOME IDEA OF WHAT IS GOING ON.

*twitch*

I cannot wait for Perfect Taste! I love the entire idea, and I hope to be able to roll around it in pure ecstasy!

I need to watch Saigo no Yakusoka, I NEEDS ME SOME OHNO.

mmmmmMMMmmmmmm. Although, in SnY, he is a janitor, and isn't all that hot..while Matsujun is rocking it. Go figure!

Ahaha! I think that Haruna's obtuseness comes from an innate innocence, and it's shown repeatedly that she's not the brightest spark, whereas Special A chick should know better, she's supposed to be a genius! And Haruna might have romantic fantasies from all her shoujo manga reading, but she's always a bit worried about her tomboyishness, and fears that she's not the best match for Yoh.

(If my boyfriend looked like Yoh, I'd be wondering how I managed to score him!)

Perfect Taste should be awesome, although my number one anticipated drama is definitely Oh My Lady. Single mother + hot idol? SIGN ME UP.

OHNO THE JANITOR. SnY just got better.

I'm so amused by your rapid descent in manga :)

I started reading 1/2 Prince after doing a bit of wrangling off of Wiki. I'm only at chapter 5, but it is pretty fun so far.

You need to at least try a bit of Fruits Basket. I don't know if you'll like Tohru, but Furuba is THE big shoujo title.

I'm so glad that you enjoyed Kamikaze Girls! I was a bit "meh" about it at first, but I enjoy it more and more every time I watch it. So gorgeous!

*weeps* you mock my pain and suffering.

I plan on trying Fruits Basket. At the moment, Im reading Ouran High Host Club..or trying to. So far, it's not really pinging for me. I went through the entire list of shoujo manga at onemanga, and clicked on anything that caught my attention except for the really big ones that i knew i'd remember the titles - Fruits Basket, Ouran High, Nana...

Any other recs?

Kamikaze wasn't what I was expecting, but i did enjoy it, and it IS very pretty! the joy for me was meeting unicorn guy and being able to yell, "PINKO-SAN!"

*weeps* you mock my pain and suffering.I feel that this is an important thread in our relationship up to this point

I feel that this is an important thread in our relationship up to this point.

...you have a point. Why do i like you, again?

Im not particularly looking for shoujo, that's just what I started with for ease of navigation. I just havent finished making my way through the whole list on onemanga, yet. When I do, I will then move on to other genres. Penguin Revolution sounds entertaining! I'll have to track it down. LoveCom I havent tried yet, because I adore the movie, and didnt feel like seeing if the manga made my brain explode.

totally off-topic and slightly stalkerish

[annoyedwabbit]

Do you mind if I add you as a friend? I found you through drama_hunt and I think your commentary on dramas/manga/Arashi is rather amusing. (I know your user info says "friend at will" but I always feel seriously weird friending people without asking.)

Re: totally off-topic and slightly stalkerish

[aliaspiral]

Feel free! And yes, i do say "friend at will" but it's more fun if someone at least says hi. :) Welcome aboard, and Im glad I amuse someone besides myself.

So I read Kingyou Sou because you recced it, and I liked it a lot! WHY ARE THERE ONLY 6 CHAPTERS? It doesn't feel finished. :( (/delurk)

[aliaspiral]

isnt it GOOD? I loved it so much I've read it twice now.

and yes, I want to see him come back or see her go there, or SOMETHING.
