Imagine if Suna showed up in any other shoujo manga where the couple doesn't get together for hundreds of chapters.

i don't know if he would help with Yona though since Hak is dreamy enough as is

The friends know what's going on but won't say anything because 'they need to figure it out for themselves' bit is one of the most annoying things in shoujo because jfc people the world isn't going end if you say 'oh hey turns out guy you like is totally in to you.'

Madhouse, please get Morio Asaka to direct more things because he deserves it.

i felt like the anime dragged out the pre-relationship stuff a bit, but that might just be because watching animation takes longer than just reading it. now we can get to the good stuff

It's probably because they kept repeating scenes. Takeo saving her from the groper on the train was shown about 5 times.

It was only really at the start of each episode but yeah, the 'what happened last week' bits seemed kind of unnecessary when not a whole lot has happened. :v:

They also repeated the whole "Red Ogre Story". As much as I like the story, pacing continues to be an issue. It feels like they're trying to stretch the material out as much as possible.

They also added some material to the end of the story, though, if I remember correctly. I thought that was kinda neat.

Same here. The red ogre missed his blue bro and went to visit him. He finds out that blue ogre left because red would get in trouble if the humans saw them together.

Wait a minute.

Suna, nooooo, don't go. :ohdear:

Ah, alright. I've been wanting to mainly experience the series through the show first, so I haven't touched the manga. I'll do that in... half a year or so, when the show ends, I figure.

I should have been a little clearer in my post, though - I didn't mean it as, like, it was added as new content for the show, but rather, it was content added to a story that was already told. If that distinction makes sense.

With 26 episodes, the show will likely outstrip all the current translated english scans.

Okay, just checking, I saw a review of it already and last time the US vol 3 was out way before Amazon UK would let me buy it.

Yeah, it's out over here. I think the scanlations might have barely caught up to it but you get the bonus story too which is good.

EDIT: No wait, scanlations are still behind by about 2 or 3 chapters so you're good.

Punchline sure is a thing written by Urokichi. Episode 3 was pretty much entirely crazy plot twists, and even though there's no indication of how a lot of the pieces fit together, it certainly feels like they're leading to something spectacular.

I'm gonna keep watching and hope the ride is ultimately worth it.

That's great and all but what do you think of My Love Story?
