So if you've seen my previous posts, they've basically been ranting or reminiscing, but I've decided to just discuss one of my favourite things... MANGA/ANIME.
So this is about genres and stuff haha.
So while I have and do read the popular shounen manga, I actually really love shoujo manga as well. The fuzzy feeling some can give you is really awesome. And out of all kinds of love, one of my favourite is the "childhood friends to lovers" love. Like honestly, I personally believe that to be successful in a relationship, you must not only be lovers, but friends as well.
It's sad to say that I don't have any friends (boys or girls actually) that have stuck with me for my whole childhood. In pri 2, we were separated to our pri 3 classes and I was the only one in 3/8. One of the sadness moments in my pri school life. :( And now that I've moved COMPLETELY away from anyone, this remains but a fantasy and fangirl material lol.
So here are a few couples who are childhood friends who progressed to become lovers:
SHOUJO
LAST GAME: Yanagi and Kujou
*This is one of my favourite shoujo manga EVER. It combines how the male has a love-hate relationship initially and how he protects and loves her ever since he met her. But unfortunately, this one of most dense mangas I must have ever read lol. But it's really awesome in my opinion. A must read if you like fuzzy stuff fufufu.
STARDUST WINK: Anna and Sou and Hinata
*Ahhhhh. Stardust wink is not that impressive but it's pretty nice. This is basically a love triangle between childhood friends and as usual, the 2 guys are sooooo popular at school and the girl is just the girl hahahaha. But it's pretty fun to read, though I got really mad at the teacher and the guys. =___=
KOI DANO AI DANO: Hijiri and Himeno
*Unfortunately, these 2 aren't the main characters but I did love the recent chapters that discussed this which led to THIS SCENE HERE THAT JUST MAKES ME SO HAPPY. Like the main characters are in this immensely intensely denseness that nothing is gonna happen for a long LOOOONG time and these 2's progress was so great. But this manga in general is not your typical shoujo manga and the lead is smart and there's quite a bit of plot in this manga. It can be wordy I guess. Because while typical shoujo manga takes me like 5-8 mins to read a chapter (40 pages typically), this one takes around 10+ mins. It's not a bad thing, just that it's special. :D Good change from the typical LOTS OF BIG PICS TAKING UP 5 PAGES CASUALLY. (Not raging, but it's ALWAYS the same.)
KIMI NI TODOKE: Chizuru and Ryuu
*So well they're not the main main characters, but they're pretty much main characters. (Did this sentence even make sense?) I love how Ryuu just declared in a bluntly-in-her-face way to Chizuru that he loved her. It was hard for Ryuu. T/\T Because initially, Chizuru loved his older brother and he knew. However, after like so many chapters, Chizuru began to realise that she loves Ryuu and she doesn't want him to leave. Ryuu's got it rough in this case but he's a great guy. Very mellow though hehe, while Chizuru is just very loud and excited. :) Like a little kid. Kimi ni todoke is great manga too. One of the most slice-of-life mangas ever with nice and awesome characters.
SHOUNEN
FULL METAL ALCHEMIST: Edward and Winry
*While FMA didn't really focus on romance, I always shipped Edward and Winry. I MEAN, don't they look great together. XD But also, you can tell how much they support each other, especially after the incident when they were kids. In the end, he marries her too so that's a great ending. =v=
BLEACH: Hinamori and Hitsugaya
*OH SWEET KUBO. So, the one reason why I couldn't get a better canon picture for Hitsugaya and Hinamori is because Kubo freaking kills Hinamori every time she appears honestly. I'll show pictures in the end. But anyways, another reason is cause Bleach doesn't focus on romance, so it's really just up to fans to fantasize and ship which is what I'm doing, yay. So I love how Hitsugaya really tries to protect Hinamori and Hinamori also cares for Hitsugaya but honestly it shows more on Hitsugaya's end. (Have I mentioned I really like him too?) Good news as well: THIS MAGAZINE (an official kind) DECLARED THEIR RELATIONSHIP AS "ADMIRATION" WHICH IS LIKELY LOVE YAYYYYYYYY.
BLEACH: Rangiku and Gin
*As I mentioned above, a canon picture was hard to find for 2 reasons. 1) Gin and Rangiku were apart and enemies for most of the series, so a canon picture was hard to find. 2)Bleach is weak in romance. ( =.=) Well so technically, again, the guy is the protector but Gin is basically the best of them all. Why? Gin basically disguised himself as the bad guy for half his life and ended up dying because he wanted to solve things...
He was smart. He knew Aizen was freaking evil, so he wanted to protect Rangiku by being a spy. When Gin died, he broke my heart. This just means that Rangiku's love is official never gonna happen. *cue glass break sound effects*
Ok and now I present the "Hinamori: I almost died (again)" collection:
1) Gin almost kills her (I wonder if he would have done it) when she is grief-stricken after being tricked into thinking that Hitsugaya killed Aizen. She is unconscious after Hitsugaya hits her and Gin tries to stab her, but Rangiku protects Hinamori. She then spends many chapters and episodes unconscious.
2) Aizen actually stabs her when she finds him. Then Hitsugaya arrives to see her already stabbed and unfortunately, Hitsugaya is defeated there as well.
3) OK NOW SHE IS BEING STABBED BY HITSUGAYA. MOST RAGE MOMENT. I WAS HOPPING MAD AND LIKE HEARTBROKEN WHEN THIS CAME OUT. YOU HAVE NO IDEA. Aizen used Kyouka Suigetsu to trick Hitsugaya into thinking he had stabbed Aizen. However, he used Hinamori. And you know what? When she was stabbed, she practically had every bone in her body broken from fighting Ayon. And she had not received treatment. Hitsugaya basically raged and broke down when he did this and the captains fighting Aizen were instantly down.
OK LEMME JUST SAY THIS. HINAMORI IS ALIVE NOW EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS GRAVELY INJURED. BUT I HAVE A FEELING SOMETHING LIKE THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN AND I WILL BE VERY UPSET. PLEASE KUBO. JUST SHOW HER WINNING A FIGHT FOR ONCE. CAN HITSUGAYA ACTUALLY SUCCEED IN PROTECTING HER? PLEASEEEEE?????
Rant over. OK, well other than my rant, these mangas are great and I hope that if you came looking for recommendations, you like them too!
Finally,
On this SDFHWOFHAOFIHBOI rage kind of note, byeeee.
