Back to The Original Novel of "Toradora"

 

Recently I began reading the original novel of "Toradora."

 

I have already watched the anime version thereof when I was a university student.

 

Although it was animated because the original was so popular of course, the anime also got a good reputation from many anime fans at that time.

 

In fact, a lot of my friends often talked about the anime version of "Toradora."

 

I was also not an exception of those who were deeply absorbed in it.

 

However, I have never read the original yet actually.

 

So, I suddenly came up with the idea that I would try it some days ago.

 

I am sure that I will be more touched by the original absolutely because I was done by even the anime version.

Anime Version of "Nekomonogatari (White)" Leads Me to The Original

I repeatedly mentioned the anime version of "Nekomonogatari (White)" is wonderful.

 

But, I think nothing is superior than the original.

 

The anime also has some unique good points, of course.

 

However, I cannot forget the impact I felt when I read the original novel for the first time.

 

That's why I recently want to read the original novel of "Nekomonogatari (White)" again.

 

It is not difficult to remember I shed my tears when I reached the scene where the heroin of this novel "Tsubasa Hanekawa" wrote a letter for "Black Hanekawa."

 

In my ranking of "Monogatari" series, "Nekomonogatari (White)" would be within the third place.

 

I really would like to read it again because I am loosing my memory of the detailed story of it.

The Forth Chapter of "Nekomonogatari (White)"

The anime version of "Nekomonogatari (White)" had finally come to the forth chapter last Staturday.

 

It seems that it will finish next week.

 

If so, it would be correct that the story in one novel was divided into only five chapters of anime.

 

At first glance, I thought they were not enough to express the original story effectively.

 

But, the forth chapter was so fantastic after all.

 

I really admire Shaft's method to describe stories.

 

Just in case, I explain for you that "Shaft" is the company creating this anime.

 

I should possiblly admire the author Nishioishin rather.

 

That's because I am always moved by characters' lines themselves and the person who made them is the author of the original novel.

 

"Nekomonogatari" is the story for Tsubasa Hanekawa who is one of heroins in "Monogatari" series.

 

Although what I now write about is "Nekomonogatari (White)", there is "Nekomogatari (Black)" as well.

 

Both are the same in the point of view that a key character is "Black Hanekawa" who is something like a monster but a part of real Hanekawa certainly.

 

However, I prefer the former to the latter because I can know her real feelings to "her" and "him."

The Legend of Heroes "Zero no Kiseki" Part 2

I write about "Zero no Kiseki" today as the previous article.

 

Although "Zero no Kiseki" is a continued work of "Sora no Kiseki" as I said before, the main characters in "Zero no Kiseki" are different from those in "Sora no Kiseki."

 

"Zero no Kiseki" is the story of not "Bracer", which is the name of Estelle and Joshua's job, but "Tokumu Shienka (meaning "Special Mission Support Section")."

 

The hero in "Zero no Kiseki" is Lloyd who is a rookie investigator.

 

He should have belonged to the first class investigation section in police because he was very superior.

 

However, he was made belong to "Tokumu Shienka" which was a new section.

The Legend of Heroes "Zero no Kiseki"

 

In this blog, I have been recommending you "Sora no Kiseki (Trails in The Sky)" which is one of "The Legend of Heroes" series over and over again.

 

Although I really love "Sora no Kiseki" in the series, "Zero no Kiseki" which is the continued work thereof is good as well.

 

Originally, "The Legend of Heroes" series had been released for Microsoft Windows because "Nihon Falcom Corporation" which is a creator of the series was so good at PC games.

 

However, they challenged the field of so-called consumer games finally.

 

"Zero no Kiseki" is their first work for PlayStation Portable (PSP) in fact.

 

As you may know, PSP is one of popular game machines, and PSP is prevailing more widely than PC as a game machine.

 

That's why "Zero no Kiseki" became their representative work which made them more famous in the field of TV or computer games.

Recommendable Episodes in "Sora no Kiseki The 3rd"

 

As I mentioned in the yesterday's article, we can see side episodes of all the main characters in "Sora no Kiseki The 3rd."

 

Today, I would like to write about some episodes I like very much.

 

At first, I want to recommend you the episode of Estelle and Joshua when they were still children.

 

Although we were able to see the scene where they met each other for the first time in the beginning of "Sora no Kiseki FC", we can know how their relationship was long time ago by the episode.

 

Honestly speaking, I was deeply touched by Estelle in her childhood.

 

That was because she always behaved as if she were optimistic about everything, but could realize other's concealed feelings, especially Joshua's, in fact.

 

It is not difficult to understand that Joshua fell in love with her due to her such personality because his heart was deeply damaged by his past at that time.

 

Next, I would also like to recommend you Ren's episode.

 

Ren is one of key characters in "Sora no Kiseki" series.

 

She is a little girl but someone like a special soldier in "Uroboros" which is a secret organization actually.

 

As you may realize from such her peculiar background, she had an unbelievable secret in her past.

 

Although you can find the episode only after you reach much later part of this game, it should be worthy enough to be expected.

"Sora no Kiseki The 3rd" Isn't Just A Fan Disc

 

Although I have introduced "Sora no Kiseki" series in the meantime, we should not forget the presence of "Sora no Kiseki The 3rd."

 

It is the third work of the said series as its title.

 

The hero/heroin in "Sora no Kiseki The 3rd" is not Estelle but Kevin who was a side character in the previous works, so it seems that "Sora no Kiseki The 3rd" is sometimes regarded as just a side story of "Sora no Kiseki FC and SC."

 

However, I think that "The 3rd" is as great as "FC and SC."

 

There are some reasons why I think so as follows;

 

1) Kevin's true character is finally revealed in "The 3rd."

 

2) We can know side stories of all main characters in "FC and SC."

 

3) Sound track of "The 3rd" is so fantastic.

 

I assure you that you will have different impression for Kevin in "The 3rd" from that in "FC and SC" after you play "The 3rd."

 

In fact, I also liked him better than before.

 

And, I would like to recommend you to listen to the sound track.

 

Thus, try "Sora no Kiseki The 3rd" if you have never played it yet!

"Kaze Tachinu" Was So Moving

 

Today, I finally watched "Kaze Tachinu" which was the latest animation movie of Studio Ghibli.

 

There were a lot of spectators in the movie theater in spite that it was a weekday today.

 

As I expected, Studio Ghibli's movies are so popular.

 

If I describe my expression of "Kaze Tachinu" with a word, I can say "It was fantastic!" only.

 

It was the story of a man who devoted himself for design of airplanes in the era of war.

 

My most favorite scene was where he got married to his beloved girl.

 

The description of their feelings in the scene was so wonderful that I cannot help stopping my tears to fall down.

 

In addition, his bride was so beautiful at that time that I felt I could figure out his feelings for her.

 

Although I cannot write about the more detailed story unfortunately, the indirect way of expression of characters' feelings in this work was really fantastic.

 

I am sure that it is nothing but the most important attraction of Japanese animation.

 

I would like to recommend you "Kaze Tachinu" strongly.

Stable interest of "Nekomonogatari (White)"

The 3rd chapter of anime version of "Nekomonogatari (White)" was broadcast yesterday in Japan.

 

Although I watched it of course, I really admire stable interest of this anime.

 

I always felt the time passes quickly during watching it, and is deeply absorbed in it without realizing.

 

The attraction of this anime would be characters' lines themselves rather than the story, I think.

 

Though, the story is also fantastic.

 

Their lines are very long and vague, so it seems some people cannot understand what they mean clearly.

 

Or, they might get bored by long monologue.

 

However, I think a good point of Nishioishin's works is nothing but that.

 

The animations based on his works give us mysterious feelings as if they were not animations but novels.

 

That's why this anime would also be for adults rather than kids.

 

Although I have already read the original novel of "Nekomonogatari (White)", I am able to enjoy the anime version as if I watched it for the first time because I am forgetting the detailed contents thereof.

 

Indeed, it is so interesting that I am in trouble, really!

Estelle in "Trails in The Sky (Sora no Kiseki)" May Be My Ideal

 

In previous article, I repeatedly said I like "The Legend of Heroes - Trails in The Sky (Sora no Kiseki)" series very much.

The main reason why I do so would be charm of the protagonist in this series.

The protagonist is Estelle, of course.

As you may tell by the name, Estelle is a female character.

I have heard that "Trails in The Sky" is the first work in which Falcom Corporation adopted a female character as a protagonist.

Anyway, I want to emphasize Estelle is very very attractive as not only a girl but also a human.

First, she is so cute.

Indeed, it's pretty normal because she is a character in the game.

If I dare to say, she is the type of woman who is cute and looks healthy rather than beautiful.

Next, she is so frank.

She always talk to everyone frankly.

That's why she can make good relationships with others soon.

Moreover, she is so honest and emotional.

She expresses her real emotions without concealing in every situation.

So, she can be trusted by her party.

In addition, she is so kind.

She can't help giving a hand for those who are in trouble, and can understand their feelings.

In short, she is a good person.

Because of her brightness, everyone calls her "a girl like the sun."

I think this nick name really fits her.

I would like her certainly if she were in the real world.

"Trails in The Sky (Sora no Kiseki) SC" Is The Masterpiece of TheLegend of Heroes Series

"Trails in The Sky (Sora no Kiseki) SC" has a good reputation from fans of RPG, really.

I can understand why it does because it is the RPG I like the most.

Estelle and Joshua always traveled together in "Trails in The Sky (Sora no Kiseki) FC."

However, in "Trails in The Sky (Sora no Kiseki) SC", Estelle had to start her travel without Joshua for a certain reason.

"A certain reason" is closely related with the secret in the scenario of "Trails in the Sky (Sora no Kiseki) FC", so I apologize that I cannot reveal it as usual.

Although I felt I lost something important when I knew she was alone, I was so glad when he came back to her again.

And, the scene where they saw each other again was so moving that I couldn't help shedding tears.

It's my most favorite scene in this work in fact.

Moreover, the main theme song of "Trails in The Sky (Sora no Kiseki)" series, "Where The Stars are (Hoshi no Arika)" arranged into instrumental version, was playing in the scene.

It would be strange that I am not touched under such condition!

Further, this work has much volume of scenario, so those who often play computer games were satisfied enough, I guess.

Surprise Caused By The Legend of Heroes - Trails in The Sky (Sora no Kiseki) SC -

Although I introduced "Trails in The Sky (Sora no Kiseki)" in the previous article, this work consists of "First Chapter (FC)" and "Second Chapter (SC)."

However, the presence of "Trails in The Sky (Sora no Kiseki) SC" was not revealed in fact when I played "Trails in The Sky (Sora no Kiseki) FC" for the first time.

Even the title itself did not have "FC" at that time.

The first work of "Trails in The Sky (Sora no Kiseki)" was called "FC" only after "SC" had been published.

That's why I thought "I am going to complete this game finally!" when I was playing the end part of it, of course.

I'm sure the person who thought like this was not only me.

In addition, the ending of the first work was very very shocking for us.

So, I was so surprised and excited by seeing a promotion movie of "SC" screened after the staff roll.

Further, the music used for the movie was a special arranged version of "Silver Will" I recommended before in this blog.

I'm sure that you will be moved by the movie even if you already know the presence of "SC."

I Look Forward to "The Legend of Heroes - Sen no Kiseki -"

 

 

As I said before, my most favorite computer game is "The Legend of Heroes - Trails in The Sky (Sora no Kiseki) -."

 

Of course, I like "The Legend of Heroes" series itself very much.

 

Finally, the latest work of this series will be released on September 26, 2013 in Japan!

 

The title is "Sen no Kiseki."

 

It will be for "Playstation 3" and "Playstation Vita" though previous works were for Microsoft Windows or PSP (Playstation Portable).

 

I am now troubled by thinking which I should buy PS3 or PS Vita for "Sen no Kiseki" because I don't have both of them yet.

 

In fact, an official promotion video of the new work has already been published.

 

You can watch it on Youtube and Nicovideo.

 

Try to search the video with a key word "Sen no Kiseki" on Youtube!

 

Although I have already done, of course, I was deeply attracted by it as I expected.

 

I would strongly like to recommend you to do so too!

Review of "Shin Honkaku Mahō Shōjo Risuka (Magical Girl Risuka)" Part 5

I have just finished reading the volume 3 of "Shin Honkaku Mahō Shōjo Risuka (Magical Girl Risuka)."

As expected, Nihioishin's novel was too exciting interesting to help being absorbed in it.

According to searching on the internet, the volume 3 is the latest one now.

It was released in 2007, so long time has passed at that time.

Regarding this volume, the story stopped in a manner I was so concerned about the rest of it.

That was because some important secrets were revealed in this volume after all.

They included Kizutaka's "objective" I mentioned before.

Furthermore, the content of "Hakobune Project" his enemy was planning was almost unveiled.

Of course, I must not forget a key person who entered this story for the first time in the volume 3.

She is Kizutaka's "forth" mother whose name is Kizuna Kugi.

Although her personality was sometimes described in the story,
I was always moved and attracted by it.

She must have been the most important person for Kizutaka.

I always admire that the author Nishioishin expresses characters so charmingly.

Music (Sound Track) of "The Legend of Heroes -Trails in The Sky-" (Eiyuu Densetsu -Sora no Kiseki-)

 
 

The attraction of "The Legend of Heroes -Trails in The Sky-" (Eiyuu Densetsu -Sora no Kiseki-) is not only its story but music.

 

The Japanese company "Nihon Falcom Corporation", which created this game, is famous as a company whose quality of music is very high.

 

I always think that music is one of the most important elements of entertainments.

 

This idea shoud be applicable for this game, of course.

 

It would not be such attractive if the music used in it were not fantastic.

 

Although I really would like you to play this game to the extent possible, you should listen to the original sound track thereof even if you are not interested in the game itself.

 

All of sound tracks for their works seem to be composed by a music creation team called "Falcom Sound Team JDK" in their company.

 

It is easy for me to imagine there are many talented composers and arrangers in JDK because their music always have good reputations.

 

You are able to easily purchase the original sound track (OST) of "Trails in The Sky (Sora no Kiseki)" in iTunes managed by Apple Inc. and Amazon.com as well.

 

Although there are a lot of songs I hope to recommend you, "Sora no Kiseki", "Hosi no Arika (Where The Stars Are)", "Gin no Ishi (Silver Will)" and "Utsuronaru Hikarino Fudo" are very wonderful in particular.

My Most Favorite Computer Game "The Legend of Heroes -Trails in The Sky-" (Eiyuu Densetsu -Sora no Kiseki-)

 
 
Although I have already introduced before, I would like to write about my favorite computer game.

 

The name is "The Legend of Heroes -Trails in The Sky- (Eiyuu Densetsu -Sora no Kiseki-)."

 

It's the Japanese computer game in the nature of RPG for Microsoft Windows and PSP (Playstation Portable) released by Nihon Falcom Corporation.

 

I wonder if this game is known around the world.

 

At least, I have heard that the English version thereof had already been released in some foreign countries.

 

If you don't know this game, I strongly want to recommend you to play it.

 

I assure you that you will absolutely like it and be satisfied!

 

Actually, "Trails in The Sky (Sora no Kiseki)" is a part of "The Legend of Heroes" series which is one of popular ones of Nihon Falcom Corporation.

 

This series became their representative work because the overwhelming popularity of "Trails in The Sky (Sora no Kiseki)."

 

I played "Trails in The Sky (Sora no Kiseki)" for the first time because of recommendation by my friend when I was a college student.

 

Honestly speaking, I did not know the presence of this game at all until that time.

 

That was because it was for only Windows, and PC games were not popular among people other than so-called "Otaku"(which means "mania" in English as you may know).

 

However, I was almost reluctant to try playing it, and then I was so surprised at the interest of it which was beyond my imagination.

 

Further, what I was astonished more was the ending scene.

 

My feeling of satisfaction after playing all of it was so fantastic because the scenario betrayed me in a good sense.

 

Anyway, there are a plenty of attractive characters and moving scenes in this game, so it will be one of your favorite games.

 

I really look forward to hearing your impressions of it after playing!

Review of "Golden Time Volume 1 ~A Blackout in Spring~" Part 3

The heroin in this novel "Kouko Kaga" is a sort of clazy person, so to speak.

 

That's because she is the person who suddenly throw a bouquet of red roses against her beloved man "Mitsuo Yanagisawa" in front of the school on an entry celemony day.

 

That's because she is the woman who continues to pursue him wherever he is as if she were a stalker.

 

That's because she is the person who regards people other than him as something like tools to contact him.

 

In the volume 1 of this novel, "Kouko Kaga" is described as the type of such person thoroughly.

 

Though, she is also done as a very very beautiful woman over and over again.

 

For these reason, her personality highly stood out among a lot of other unique characters, I guess.

 

The hero "Banri Tada" was concerned about her situation that she was avoided by her beloved man and she had no close friend, so he began taking care of her without realizing.

Expectation to Studio Ghibli's Latest Animation Movie "Kaze Tachinu"

 

 

If you are fans of Japanese animations, you should like Studio Ghibli, of course.

 

Although you, who are such people, may know already, Studio Ghibli's latest animation movie will begin being screened from July 20, 2013 in Japan.

 

The title thereof is "Kaze Tachinu", which is Japanese meaning "The Wind Rises" in English.

 

As lots of Studio Ghibli's famous movies, for example "My Neighbor Totoro", "Princess Mononoke" and so on, the director of this movie is also Hayao Miyazaki who is one of the most famous and prominent animation director in Japan.

 

"Kaze Tachinu" seems to be the story of a great Japanese male who played very important role in the history of airplanes long time ago.

 

In fact, I watched the special TV program about Studio Ghibli broadcast in Japan some days ago.

 

The program introduced how their studio was, how they created "Kaze Tachinu", a female staff who decided all colors used in this animation on her own, a voice actor who played as the hero and so forth.

 

For your information, the voice actor of the hero in this movie is Hideaki Anno who is a director of movies of "Neon Genesis Evangelion."

 

According to the TV program, Studio Ghibli seemed to create the latest movie with their full power, so we can expect that it will be so fantastic!

Review of "Shin Honkaku Mahō Shōjo Risuka (Magical Girl Risuka)" Part 4

The hero "Kizutaka Kugi" is not a magician but just a human.

 

The heroin "Risuka" is not just a human but a magician.

 

Why did they met each other?

 

Or, why are they acting together?

 

It seems that there is the answer of these questions in their purposes.

 

Then, What are their purposes?

 

Unfortunately, I have no idea.

 

That's because these secrets have not been revealed in the story yet.

 

What I know is Risuka is looking for her father who is the strongest and worst magician in her world.

 

And, Kizutaka is supporting it for some reason.

 

He seems to do so only to achieve his own "purpose."

 

Risuka is certainly required for his "purpose."

 

However, I don't know why she is.

 

This secret should be one of the most important elements in this story.

 

I will be surprised again when it is revealed.

Review of "Shin Honkaku Mahō Shōjo Risuka (Magical Girl Risuka)" Part 3

What type of magic do you imagine when you hear the word "magic"?

 

By any chance, you might think it is something like attacking by magical powers of fire, water, stones, thunder, ices and so on.

 

But, it is wrong.

 

Risuka's magic is not such simple.

 

Hers is the type of magic which can manipulate "time."

 

Though, please don't misunderstand.

 

It is not so-called time travel or something at all.

 

It's more complex.

 

She can momently move to the places she have already known by manipulate her own "time" as if she used teleportation.

 

However, her magic is absolutely not teleportation itself but manipulation of "time."

 

To put it simply, she is able to teleport from "Place A" to "Place B" as a result of omitting her time which should be spent for moving. How it is.

 

That's why it is impossible she teleport to the place she does not know.

 

Kizutaka and she manage to fight against their enemies to achieve each one's purpose by making use of her magic.

Animation of "Nekomonogatari (White)" shall live up to our expectation

 

 

 

At last, anime version of the second season of "Monogatari" series started last Saturday in Japan!

 

I watched it, of course.

 

The first chapter thereof was "Nekomonogatari (White)."

 

I was excited without realizing when I knew that.

 

That was because this chapter is one of my most favorite one.

 

It is the story of "Tsubasa Hanekawa."

 

It is very very important one for her.

 

I already know the content of this story because I have ever read the original novel before.

 

But, because of that, I am looking forward to be surprised by the anime version.

 

Although I don't know how many chapters will be spent for "Nekomonogatari (White)", I really want the staffs of the anime to create it as politely as possible.

 

"Nekomonogatari (White)" has a characteristic that the story teller is not "Koyomi Araragi", who is the hero of "Monogatari" series, but "Tsubasa Hanekawa."

 

So, I am sure you will enjoy it from a different view point!

Review of "Shin Honkaku Mahō Shōjo Risuka (Magical Girl Risuka)" Part 2

Although I said the hero named "Kizutaka Kugi" was so intelligent unbelievably, his way of speaking was like that of adults as well.

 

He was proud of his abnormal ability because he was certainly clever.

 

But, I felt that he lacked something important as a person who was really superior.

 

Rather, the author Nishioishin should have expressed that deliberately in his novel, I guess.

 

On the other hand, the heroin named "Risuka" was a prominent magician.

 

In the world of this novel, magicians lived in Nagasaki prefecture in Japan.

 

Of course, she was born there, but she was not just a magician.

 

She was special.

 

She seemed to be the presence made by her father who was a magician like a monster as a special one.

 

That was why she had a special power nobody could not have.

 

Each of the two had something they wanted to achieve no matter what.

 

So, they met each other.

Review of "Shin Honkaku Mahō Shōjo Risuka (Magical Girl Risuka)"

 
 

I have finished reading the volume 1 of another Nishioishin's novel named "Shin Honkaku Mahō Shōjo Risuka (Magic Girl Risuka)."


His work was wonderful as I expected!

 

In the first place, I could not imagine how the story of this novel would have been because the title thereof had the words "Magic Girl" like "Maho shojo Madoka Magika" I introduced before.

 

I did not think that Nishioishin used these words for title of his novel.

 

That was why it was difficult for me to connect the words to Nishioishin.

 

However, this novel was wonderful as I expected.

 

His novels always go beyond my expectation, no, rather do not live up to my expectation in a good sense.

 

The story of it was also out of my imagination.

 

The hero was a boy who was the fifth-grade elementary school student.

 

The heroin was a girl who was the same.

 

However.

 

He was so intelligent and clever that I couldn't help suspecting that he was not a child in fact.

 

She was not just a girl but a magical girl.

My Favorite Character in "Steins Gate"




This is "My Favorite Character" series part 2.

Today, I want to write about my favorite character in "Steins Gate."

Oops, I recommend you to avoid reading today's article if you have not played or watched "Steins Gate" yet because there will be things which should be kept secret for you below.













Are you alright if you go forward?


OK, then I continue.

In fact, it is difficult to choose one character in this work because there were a lot of attractive ones there.

But, it would be "Suzuha Amane" if I decide somehow.

She was so mysterious for me when I saw her for the first time.

I thought "Why is she working in Mr. Brown's electrical appliance store?", "Where was she from?", "Who is she, firstly?" and so on.

However, I could find answers of these questions gradually by proceeding with the story.

That may be why I was attracted by her.

Moreover, she was actually so kind and intelligent against her first impression.

She could understand "structure of world" in detail, and was mature in spite of her appearance like a girl.  But, she usually behaved as if she were frank.

Thinking like this, she might be the type of woman I prefer in terms of personality.

Which Type of Light Novel Do You Prefer?

I think that there are several types of light novels in Japan.

 

I try listing up some of them as much as I can though it would be difficult to do all.

 

1) Battle Fantasy

 

It is the type of novel in which hero / heroin and other characters fight against their enemy in a fantasy world, by using their special abilities usually. I think it is a common and popular genre. The representative work categorized into this type would be "Sword Art Online."

 

2) Love Comedy

 

I'm sure it's also popular. In a sense, there would be elements of love comedy in every light novel. These may be because not only "love" but also "comedy" are required in the field of light novels, I guess. There are the special type called "School Love Comedy" as well. The representative of this type would be "Toradora."

 

3) Mystery

 

Whether this type can be accepted may depend on readers. But, as far as I concerned, I like it very much because mystery gives some spices of intelligence to a light novel which tends to be "light" in terms of story as its own name. The representative of this type would be "Hyouka" and "Zaregoto" series.

 

 

Which type do you prefer?

The Second Season of "Monogatari" Series Will Begin From This Weekend!




Today, I would like to give you good news!

The second season of animation of "Monogatari" series will begin from this weekend in Japan.

Every fans of this series including me have been looking forward to this news because the original stories in the novel series on which the second season of the animation will be based were as interesting as previous ones.

As you may know, the first season of this animation was broadcast from 2009 to 2012 in Japan.

The first season was consistent with the original novels volume 1 to 6, other than volume 2.

That's why I'm sure that the stories of "the second season" will be based on those of volume 7 and forward.

I have no idea how long it will take to broadcast all of the second season because there are a lot of stories in it.

However, I heard all of "Monogatari" series will be animated in the near future, so I want to expect that!

Anyway, I will certainly watch the second season and review it in due course.

My Most Favorite Character in "Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru (My Youth Romantic Love Comedy Is Wrong As I Expected)"




Who is your most favorite character in "Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru (My Youth Romantic Love Comedy Is Wrong As I Expected)"?

My most favorite one is Ms. Hiratsuka who is a teacher of Hachiman Hikigaya and others.

That's because she is so mature and cute in terms of not only her appearance but also personality.

Of course, most characters in this novel are students.

So, it could be that her charm is naturally emphasized.

Her appearance is somewhat similar to Yukino Yukinoshita who is one of main heroins.

She has black long hair, tidy face and slender body.

She can understand Hachiman's pain in his heart and his kindness which many people are not aware of.

The person who truly understands him may be only her, I guess.

She usually backs up him and other members in the volunteer service club in a manner which no one realizes.

She was described as the person who could not find her lover at all.

But, I would be certainly attracted by her if she existed in the real world!

You think so too, don't you?
