My friend Canon gave me 2 manga books when we saw each other the other day.
The Japanese love romance manga Yubisaki Milk Tea (ゆびさきミルクティー) (whose title is a little hard to be translated into English in nuance) vol. 8 and 9 authored by Miyano Tomochika (宮野ともちか).
I hate love romance while I love love comedy.
(I cannot explain that reason easily here.)
I have hated this genre since 2005 and have not started reading new manga of this genre.
But I have started reading this manga since 2003, the year before 2005.
Now this manga is the only one of this genre that I have read since years before 2005.
(Below was added Nov. 12, '09)
As far as how much I hate love romance, I had not been able to watch live-action TV drama Hachimitsu to Clover (ハチミツとクローバー) (Honey and Clover) whose original manga is illustrated by Umino Chika (羽海野チカ) starring then 15 (now 17) year-old actress Narumi Riko (成海璃子) as heroine Hanamoto Hagumi (花本はぐみ) who is my favorite actress.
Although I am a big fan of her and I have already watched almost all of her starring movies and TV dramas and this TV drama starred her, I was not able to watch it.
This made me realize clearly how much I hated this genre.
And I am a little sorry for Canon that I have not finished reading these 2 manga books yet which he gave me.

I read "yubisaki milktea" willingly, too.
ReplyDeleteBecause it was not released for two years, the tension went up.:-)
Mr.S,
ReplyDeleteThanks. You had waited for a release of these new manga books for a long time?
>the tension went up.
You meant that you got a little excited, ok?
