shoujo manga eats my brains
Apr. 12th, 2007 10:23 pmI'm about 4/5 done with Hana Kimi, and... GOD WHY HAVEN'T YOU GIVEN ME A SANO IZUMI??? I think he may actually be the perfect shoujo love interest. he's athletic, he's pretty, he has daddy issues, he gets good grades, he's perpetually hugging and otherwise physically reassuring the heroine, and he is not a social retard. (the last one is what really gives me pause.) when he's a moron and yells at the heroine? he feels guilty, berates himself, and then apologizes. what the hell shoujo hero apologizes?! he's supposed to be the "cool" prototype, but then he goes and acts all sensitive! he's the first shoujo hero to surpass that guy from Kare Kano, on account of Soichiro's being sort of stupidly Japanese and self-reliant to a fault. Sano is bizarrely perceptive of how his actions affect the heroine.
I want to jump his bones a little, too. but I would settle for his finally banging the heroine. they've been sharing a room for how long now? definitely time to bang.
moving on to the myriad side characters (oh, and I like the heroine too! she has spunk. her name is Mizuki, btw), "wave boy" cracks me up. I can't decide whether I'd rather have him offer Nakatsu consolation sex for losing Mizuki to Sano or have crossover madness where he hooks up with "vibe girl" from Fruits Basket. (best of both worlds! crossover madness where he's Vibe Girl's long lost twin brother and he hooks up with Nakatsu for the hell of it!) Nakatsu on the other hand... is cute and yet really annoying. I think if you spliced him with Sano you'd get Kyo from Fruits Basket, which should give y'all an idea of his personality. (I love Kyo, really I do. he just needs to shut up every once in a while. >_>)
Oh! and Umeda-sensei! if Haa-san and Ayame ever had that baby Ayame so clearly wants to make, it would be Umeda-sensei. his backstory is so cutely tragic! but I am totally rooting for the photographer-kohai. mean ukes need moronic yet persistent semes to keep them on their toes.
off to try to finish Hana Kimi. and maybe do that Greek homework. ^^;;
