I like the metaphor Taamo used to tie things back to the title at the end. Very heartwa- er, charming. Now what will I use to fill this Taiyou-shaped hole in my heart?

Good on it to end on a relative high note rather than getting dragged out into oblivion. I'm assuming the extra chapters will be stuff dealing with Daiki, Hina, and maybe Mao's family since they didn't get all that much attention all told these past few chapters.

Is it definitely just extra chapters? I seem to remember the ANN article I read made it sound ambiguously like a spin off manga.

I think it's just extras to fill the page count for the final volume.

Ah, the end of Taiyou no Ie was good, though the 'right we're in love, lets get married' stuff still seems kind of odd from a Western perspective, but I guess it was 'someday' rather than 'this second'.Kaelan Zero posted:I like the metaphor Taamo used to tie things back to the title at the end. Very heartwa- er, charming. Not sure if it was just because I read it right after but Last Game has a similar sort of feel, assuming the main characters utter denseness doesn't put you off.

I dunno, I feel like they've known each other long enough to know whether they'd work out in the long run.

Nate RFB posted:Whaaaaat Yeah I tried reading it and watching the live action drama adaptation* and both were honestly really terrible and pretty much a perfect example of the stereotype shoujo. Sort of like the shoujo equivalent of Naruto or something, except without the latter's interesting character designs. One thing that really grated on me was that the manga would consistently say that things like money and status don't matter and that the protagonist doesn't care about such things, yet end up with all of her love interests still being the richest, most popular guys around. It's not the "love interests are rich/popular" part that annoys me - that's more or less a staple for the genre - but more the hypocrisy of claiming it doesn't matter and then showing us that it actually does. *I thought that the live action drama of "Nobuta wo Produce" was far more entertaining/funny and had more likable characters. I don't think it's based on a manga though? I particularly liked Yamashita Tomohisa's character (I actually like most of his drama characters; he's one of the few idol actors that I actually like and was very popular back when I went through my "live action drama" phase).

Best angsty drama is still Yasashii Jikan, though. It's been like ten years since it aired, but it's still my favorite. Then again, I've watched all of like, two jdramas since 2008. Kdramas are just better.

Gnossiennes posted:Nobuta wo produce was absolutely good. No, the most angsty drama is definitely Strawberry on the Shortcake. It's soooo angsty. Like literally every single main character in it is full of angst (except for maybe the girl played by Kyoko Fukada, who seems to play the same infantile/innocent girl in everything she's in). It also has a bunch of ABBA music in it for some reason. edit: Seriously, look at this plot summary: quote:At some point, Manato Irie (Hideaki Takizawa) began to withdraw himself from the world. Even when picked on, it's not the real Irie, but an act. However one day he meets a strange girl - Yui Misawa (Kyoko Fukada). Yui, who finds the tedium of everyday life unbearable, teases Manato with her almost too upfront and honest manner. Alone and afraid Manato wavers but finds himself drawn to her. But his feelings for Yui are doomed to be unrequited, when he discovers that Yui is none other than his new step sister. While he struggles with his feelings for Yui, Manato begins to receive blue love letters in his shoe locker at school. He eventually discovers that they were left there by his next-door neighbour, Haruka (Uchiyama Rina). Meanwhile, Yui finds herself falling for senpai Saeki(Kubozuka Yosuke), who in turn is having an affair with his teacher, Asami-sensei (Ishida Yuriko).
