So yeah finally got around to watching the critically acclaimed movie by Makoto Shinkai which was the highest grossing anime movie in Japan.

Well I've seen Makoto Shinkai movies before and coming from that I walked in knowing the sort of animation I was expecting. Yes,Makoto Shinkai really is a genius in rendering an almost true to life image of the world he portrays through his works. Whether it be Garden of Words or this movie, the art and animation involved in these movies were something that you wouldn't just stop expressing by only the word beautiful.

But it's not just the animation and art that makes ... what the movie what it is. Though I might be a bit too late to express my opinion in the mass ocean of reviews given in regards to the movie,but there's one thing I can say. No matter the fact that it used tropes pretty well known in the industry to bring us this movie but that doesn't mean the idea itself wasn't shown to us in a way where we found it to be refreshing.

The story itself is a pretty fairy tale made possible by impossible miracles but does it really matter when you're watching the movie? Don't we watch these because we're always searching for that something special in our lives, that impossible miracle where we find something beautiful enough to dedicate our lives to? The story through it's characters showed us that even if your brain forgets what little details you had for that something precious,you heart will remember and that one day you'll find it once again.

To be honest,I''m not really a person for romance movies or shows or anime in general. But nothing's wrong with experiencing sweet things sometimes,right?

"Futari no Renai Shoka" is a case of getting many things right about telling a short yet profound romance story. Conveniences and clichés are present but they are layered well enough that none of them stands out enough to drag the story in unwanted directions. It took me quite some thinking to come up with a reasoning behind why this manga left an emotional impact within me, nevertheless it’s a work that I can’t help falling in love with.

This manga might have hit home with me because of my personality or because of my want to have someone who'd give me the warmth of companionship. ... This manga might not have the best art,the best direction or even a unique story for that part but once you start,you know you're here for something more.


The manga has romance as it's main focus but shows us bits and pieces of the things that encircle this said romance. The circumstances,the hesitation and the feelings of people encircling this made the manga shine in my eyes. The romance gives you a fluffy feeling not because of the love you feel but because you feel complete looking at two people who found a part of each other they had been in need for. You understand why they behave like that,what they feel and through this understanding, you get to know the characters and feel fulfilled.


"A sense of easing your loneliness and gradually filling the hole in your heart with the warmth you get" is what the manga in it's entirety meant.


I really liked it and I hope everyone who reads it enjoys it too.

Molester Man (Chikan Otoko)

Yes,the name may sound repulsive,weird and undeniably like a hentai but i can assure you that this manga is so much more than just a webcomic people know it for.
"Based off a real story which was posted on 2ch, Chikan Otoko is the story of how Molester Man is mistaken for a stalker by Miss Understanding, and how they overcome their personal challenges while slowly growing closer to each other."- This is what's there in the summary region of every manga site you will find this manga in.Although it sounds a bit far-fetched and unreasonable , molester man brings a whole ... new world of realism through characters people would think are normally played out in minority.

Story:
The story follows a MC named Molester Man who has a part time job and goes to university, but besides that is really just a shut-in that stays on his computer all day long, plays games, watches anime and reads manga.So ,guess what the MC is just what society would call a pathetic loner and an otaku to top it off.Most mangas tend to be set in a fictional world where weird occurrences are abundant.But in reality,there are no absolute heroes who save girls from bad guys and end up with the heroine and live happily ever after.Molester man keeps true to the boundaries of reality and shows us how exactly normally things would revolve in an uneventful loner's life.The parodies and gags bring about a mellow feeling to the story and lightens the mood for the readers to have a laugh but the underlying truth behind the jokes are to make up for the most critical and expressive moments of the manga.

Art:
The art isn't all that impressive, but it does have its own feel with the over the top hilarious facial expressions for comedic scenes. Overall it's not fantastic, but it's not something to be ignored at all.Some might criticize the sketchy art style, but I thought it complimented the minimalist nature of the plot exceedingly well. It got the point across, while managing to make the characters unique and expressive.

Character:
The characters are what really make this manga what it is. Every character we meet have an important role in the story. Especially the MC who literally starts out as an anti-social shut-in to a guy and as the story progresses turns out to be a decent and normal guy who tries to get his emotions known.They all develop very well and not one character is just some shallow supporting character that has no influence whatsoever in the story. We see the interactions between the characters and the MC as well as the interactions between one another that just really make each character shine. Characters here are shown as realistic as possible even the pivotal points of the MC's life depend upon the decisions and interactions between the other characters involved.

Enjoyment:
Hell yeah it was awesome XD
the comedy scenes at some points made my sides hurt XD

Overall this manga is a gem among gems.Though raw and unpolished to a certain extent , this manga brings out everything and anything that a normal person might encounter if faced with such circumstances.
