I'm here to show off my nice sofa! There's so much more butt space now... (previously there was zero).



Well... whoops.

Oh yeah, and a note about Haou Airen... I stopped reading it because it got way too terrible for me to stand. I think it's the worst manga of hers so far. Guess what, the girl runs away from the guy because he murdered this girl in front of her (what about those old men? Don't you care about them because they're not good-looking?) and I thought she finally saw some sense already. Of course, I learned that this was an impossible thing for her manga characters. She wanted to run away, but guess what: he locked her in his house and raped her for four days straight.

Some common sense:
YOU DO NOT RAPE THE PERSON YOU LOVE.

Moreover, you do not kidnap some kind guy who took her in and helped her escape from you and rape her right in front of him. I swear, that guy belongs in a mental hospital.

The thing that makes me rage is that the guy tries to justify his acts with some pathetic reason along the lines of "She doesn't love me anymore, so I have to get her to stay with me through sexual attraction alone. I love her toooo much to let her go even though she her life will be a living hell if she remains with me." You have a strange, strange way of expressing love, you sicko. Plus, this goes against everything that I thought was taken for granted about love. You want the person you love to be happy, at the expense of your own happiness or desires. Not disregard their feelings entirely because you "can't bear to lose them". That's just selfish and over-possessive.

And later in the manga? It is revealed that the girl WANTED him to shoot her. And the main character realizes that despite everything he did to her, she still loves him, and they make out.

I'm sure anyone who's experienced rape before would disagree. Violently. And just because someone wants to die it justifies you murdering them? She can't be serious.
And I stopped because I can't stand them getting all lovey-dovey again -.- that girl has the memory of a goldfish, srsly.

back to homework, ignore rant.
