First of all...
Happy Birthday, Rachel! ♥
Mostly stayed on the computer today. Worked on SS ppt and relaxed for a lot of the day. :) I love weekends. It's a shame I have 5 hours of homework to get done tomorrow if I want to relax on Monday. :/Oh well, I need to stay optimistic. Whenever I think I'm stuck in a prison of homework, I always say to myself my favourite Go! Program phrase:
Look at the options!
Hehe, that always cheers me up. Had a nice dinner today and watched a little bit oftelevision. Note to self: Take some pictures. I need some inspiration for NaNoWriMo. No one's doing it with this year. :/ SOB. Not that I really care all that much. No one does it with me anyhow.
So here's my manga review. :)
Kimi wa Petto
The latest addition to my Favourite Manga list. This is a suspenseful, romantic, and heartwarming story that is absolutely a must read...as long as you are mature enough to handle it. The story is Josei, targeted towards women. It's still a read that will keep you wanting for more and more.
The story begins with Sumire, a hard-working and seemingly strict women. She works as a journalist for a news company. One day while returning home, she discovers a 21 year old boy/man (it's borderline both) sleeping in a box. She takes him home and feeds him, pitying the poor guy. The next morning, the guy is still there. He asks her if he can stay. She lets him stay...as her pet. She names him Momo (a common name for a dog.)
The story progresses and their relationship, master and pet, develops. She finds a boyfriend whom she lies about Momo to. Everyone at work and her boyfriend all believe that Momo is her dog. As her relationship with her boyfriend goes deeper, she begins to realize that she misses Momo a whole lot more than she misses her boyfriend.
It's a roller coaster of love. Of patience. And of heart-warming moments. There are indecisive decisions and moments of suspense. This manga is not typical. She doesn't marry the first man she fell in love with even though he likes her back now a few years after she liked him. She undergoes changes and she realizes things about herself that she never did before. That's the difference between Shoujo and Josei.
Shoujo mangas are light romance stories that have obvious endings and static characters. Josei makes you think...a lot and the characters have both weak and strong times as well as an ever changing character. You have a vague idea of what will happen in the end, but you don't know how. You don't know when. It's a lot more...interesting.
The funny thing is, her boyfriend also gets a cat. Happy ending. Something I expected, but all the while enjoyed very much.
There is some level of sexuality, but other than that...it's a must read.
